Approximations and limits: Describe in your own words how the slope of a tangent line can be approximated by the slope of a nearby secant line. Then describe how the derivative of a function at a point is defined as a limit of slopes of secant lines. What is the approximation/limit situation described in this section?
As n approaches infinity this sequence of partial sums could either converge meaning that the terms eventually approach some finite limit or it could diverge to infinity meaning that the terms eventually grow without bound. which do you think is the case here and why?
Use integration formulas to solve each integral in Exercises 21–62. You may have to use algebra, educated guess and-check, and/or recognize an integrand as the result of a product, quotient, or chain rule calculation. Check each of your answers by differentiating .
Shade in the regions between the two functions shown here on the intervals (a) [−2, 3]; (b) [−1, 2]; and (c) [1, 3]. Which of these regions has the largest area? The smallest?
Without using absolute values, how many definite integrals would we need in order to calculate the area between the graphs of f(x) = sin x and g(x) = on ?
