What Is Calculus? Calculus is a part of mathematics that evolved much later than other subjects. Algebra, geometry, and trigonometry were developed in ancient times, but calculus as we know it did not appear until the seventeenth century. The first evidence of calculus has its roots in ancient mathematics. For example, In his book A History of π, Petr Beckmann explains that Greek mathematician Archimedes (287– 212 BCE) “took the step from the concept of ‘equal to’ to the concept of ‘arbitrarily close to’ or ‘as closely as desired’…and reached the threshold of the differential calculus, just as his method of squaring the parabola reached the threshold of the integral calculus.”* But it was not until Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, each working independently, expanded, organized, and applied these early ideas, that the subject we now know as calculus was born. Although we attribute the birth of calculus to Newton and Leibniz, many other mathematicians, particularly those in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, contributed greatly to the body and rigor of calculus. You will encounter many of their names and contributions as you pursue your study of calculus. But what is calculus? The simple answer is: calculus models change. Since the world and most things in it are constantly changing, mathematics that explains change becomes immensely useful. Calculus has two major branches, differential calculus and integral calculus. Let’s take a peek at what calculus is by looking at two problems that prompted the development of calculus.
The Tangent Problem—The Basis of Differential Calculus Suppose we want to find the slope of the line tangent to the graph of a function at some point P=(x1, y1). See Figure 1(a). Since the tangent line necessarily contains the point P, it remains only to find the slope to identify the tangent line. Suppose we repeatedly zoom in on the graph of the function at the point P. See Figure 1(b). If we can zoom in close enough, then the graph of the function will look approximately linear, and we can choose a point Q, on the graph of the function different from the point P, and use the formula for slope.
Figure 1 Repeatedly zooming in on the point P is equivalent to choosing a point Q closer and closer to the point P. Notice that as we zoom in on P, the line connecting the points P and Q, called a secant line, begins to look more and more like the tangent line to the graph of the function at the point P. If the point Q can be made as close as we please to the point P, without equaling the point P, then the slope of the tangent line mtan can be found. This formulation leads to differential calculus, the study of the derivative of a function. The derivative gives us information about how a function changes at a given instant and can be used to solve problems involving velocity and acceleration; marginal cost and profit; and the rate of change of a chemical reaction. Derivatives are the subjects of Chapters 2 through 4.
The Area Problem—The Basis of Integral Calculus If we want to find the area of a rectangle or the area of a circle, formulas are available. (See Figure 2.) But what if the figure is curvy, but not circular as in Figure 3? How do we find this area?
Figure 2
Figure 3 Calculus provides a way. Look at Figure 4(a). It shows the graph of y=x2 x=0 to x=1. Suppose we want to find the area of the shaded region.
from
Figure 4 By subdividing the x-axis from 0 to 1 into small segments and drawing a rectangle of height x2 above each segment, as in Figure 4(b), we can find the area of each rectangle and add them together. This sum approximates the shaded area in Figure 4(a). The smaller we make the segments of the x-axis and the more rectangles we draw, the better the approximation becomes. See Figure 4(c). This formulation leads to integral calculus, and the study of the integral of a function.
Two Problems—One Subject? At first differential calculus (the tangent problem) and integral calculus (the area problem)
appear to be different, so why call both of them calculus? The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus establishes that the derivative and the integral are related. In fact, one of Newton’s teachers, Isaac Barrow, recognized that the tangent problem and the area problem are closely related, and that derivatives and integrals are inverses of each other. Both Newton and Leibniz formalized this relationship between derivatives and integrals in the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. *Beckmann, P. (1976). A History of π (3rd. ed., p. 64).

To the Instructor The challenges facing calculus instructors are daunting. Diversity among students, both in their mathematical preparedness for learning calculus and in their ultimate educational and career goals, is vast and growing. Increased emphasis by universities and administrators on structured assessment and its related data analytics puts additional demands on instructors. There is not enough classroom time to teach every topic in the syllabus, to answer every student’s questions, or to delve into the rich examples and applications that showcase the beauty and utility of calculus. As mathematics instructors, we share these frustrations. As authors, our goal is to craft a calculus textbook that supports your teaching philosophy, promotes student understanding, and identifies measurable learning outcomes. Calculus, Early Transcendentals, Second Edition, is a mathematically precise calculus book that embraces proven pedagogical strategies to increase both student and instructor success. The language of the text is simple, clear, and precise. Definitions and theorems are carefully stated, and titled when appropriate. Numbering of definitions, equations, and theorems is kept to a minimum. The mathematics is rigorous. Proofs of theorems are presented throughout the text in one of three ways: (1) following the statement of a theorem; (2) preceding a theorem followed by “We have proved the following theorem”; or (3) in Appendix B, if the proof is more involved. (When the proof of a theorem is beyond the scope of this book, we note that it may be found in advanced calculus or numerical analysis texts.) The text is adaptable to your class and your teaching style. Proofs can be included or omitted and exercises are paired, grouped, and graduated from easy to difficult. By dividing exercises into Skill Building, Applications and Extensions, and Challenge Problems, we make it easier for you to tailor assignments to the specific needs of your students based on their ability and preparedness. The structural pedagogical features, described on the pages that follow, can be used to design an assessment tool for your students. Learning objectives are listed at the start of each section; the structure of the solved examples and/or the proofs can be used to write rubrics for evaluation; and assessment questions can be drawn from the Now Work Problems, end of section exercises, and chapter review problems. Additional media and supplement resources available to you and your students are described on page xiii. Let us know what you think of the text and do not hesitate to contact us with any suggestions or comments that might improve it. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes, Michael Sullivan and Kathleen Miranda
Pedagogical Features Promote Student Success Just In Time Review Throughout the text there are margin notes labeled NEED TO REVIEW? followed by a topic and page references. These references point to a previous presentation of a concept related to the discussion at hand. RECALL margin notes provide a quick refresher of key results that are being used in theorems, definitions, and examples.
IN WORDS These notes translate complex formulas, theorems, proofs, rules, and definitions using plain language that provide students with an alternate way to learn the concepts.
CAUTIONS and NOTES provide supporting details or warnings about common pitfalls. ORIGINS give biographical information or historical details about key figures and discoveries in the development of calculus.
Effective Use of Color The text contains an abundance of graphs and illustrations that carefully utilize color to make concepts easier to visualize. Dynamic Figures The text includes many pieces of art that students can interact with through the online e-Book. These dynamic figures, indicated by the icon next to the figure label, illustrate select principles of calculus, including limits, rates of change, solids of revolution, convergence, and divergence.
Learning Objectives Each section begins with a set of Objectives that serve as a broad outline of the section. The objectives help students study effectively by focusing attention on the concepts being covered. Each learning objective is supported by appropriate definitions, theorems, and proofs. One or more carefully chosen examples enhance the learning objective, and where appropriate, an application example is also included. Learning objectives help instructors prepare a syllabus that includes the important topics of calculus, and concentrate instruction on mastery of these topics.
Examples with Detailed and Annotated Solutions Examples are named according to their purpose. The text includes hundreds of examples with detailed step-by-step solutions. Additional annotations provide the formula used, or the reasoning needed, to perform a particular step of the solution. Where procedural steps for solving a type of problem are given in the text, these steps are followed in the solved examples. Often a figure or a graph is included to complement the solution.
Chapter Projects The case studies that open each chapter demonstrate how major concepts apply to recognizable and often contemporary situations in biology, environmental studies, astronomy, engineering, technology, and other fields. At the end of the chapter, there is an extended project with questions that guide students through a solution to the situation.
Immediate Reinforcement of Skills Following most examples there is the statement, NOW WORK. This callout directs students to a related exercise from the section’s problem set. Doing a related problem immediately after working through a solved example encourages
active learning, enhances understanding, and strengthens a student’s ability to use the objective. This practice also serves as a confidence-builder for students.
The Exercises are Divided into Four Categories Concepts and Vocabulary provide a selection of quick fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and true/false questions. These problems assess a student’s comprehension of the main points of the section.
Skill Building problems are grouped into subsets, usually corresponding to the objectives of the section. Problem numbers in red are the NOW WORK problems that are correlated to the solved examples. The skill building problems are paired by odd/even and usually progress from easy to difficult.
Applications and Extensions consist of applied problems, questions that require proof, and problems that extend the concepts of the section. (See the Applications Index for a full list of the applied examples and problems in the text.)
Challenge Problems provide more difficult extensions of the section’s material. They are often combined with concepts learned in previous chapters. Challenge problems are intended to be thought-provoking and require some ingenuity to solve—they are an excellent addition
to assignments for exceptionally strong students or for use in group work.
The Chapter Review is in Three Parts Things to Know is a detailed list of important definitions, formulas, and theorems contained in the chapter, and page references to where they can be found.
Objectives Table is a section-by-section list of each learning objective of the chapter (with page references), as well as references to the solved examples and review problems related to that learning objective.
Review Problems provide exercises related to the key concepts of the chapter and are matched to the learning objectives of each section of the chapter.
New to the Second Edition The Second Edition of Calculus, Early Transcendentals, is the culmination of more than 100 reviews of the first edition, more than 20 focus groups, and 4 years of work. Contributions came from a variety of sources: students who studied from the first edition, as well as professors at community colleges, 4-year universities, and research universities, some of whom taught from the first edition and some of whom did not. We also commissioned a team of reputable mathematicians to review every aspect of the revised presentation. Using this invaluable input, as well as insights from our own experiences teaching calculus, we have revised and modified as needed, while preserving the writing style and presentation that students using the first edition praise. We acknowledge the crucial importance of clarity and rigor, particularly considering the investment an instructor makes when adopting a calculus textbook. In preparing for this revision, we analyzed every component of the text: content, organization, examples, exercises, rigor, mathematical accuracy, depth and breadth of coverage, accessibility, and readability. Reviewers suggested how and where to revise, cut, deepen, or expand the
coverage. Many offered suggestions for new exercises or nuances to enhance a student’s learning experience. Wherever new Objectives or Examples were added, corresponding problems in the exercise sets were also added. A brief description of the major changes to the content and organization in the second edition is provided below. It is by no means comprehensive and does not reflect the more subtle, but no less important, changes we made in our quest to increase clarity and deepen conceptual understanding.

Until now, the mathematics you have encountered has centered mainly on algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. These subjects have a long history, well over 2000 years. But calculus is relatively new; it was developed less than 400 years ago. In the time since, it has profoundly influenced every facet of human activity from biology to medicine to economics and physics, to name just a few. The year 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which put the first humans on the Moon, an achievement made possible by mathematics, in particular calculus. Calculus deals with change and how the change in one quantity affects other quantities. Fundamental to these ideas are functions and their properties. In this chapter, we discuss many of the functions used in calculus. We also provide a review of techniques from precalculus used to obtain the graphs of functions and to transform
known functions into new functions. Your instructor may choose to cover all or part of this chapter. Regardless, throughout the text, you will see the NEED TO REVIEW? marginal notes. They reference specific topics, often discussed in Chapter P.
P.1 Functions and Their Graphs OBJECTIVES When you finish this section, you should be able to: 1 Evaluate a function 2 Find the difference quotient of a function 3 Find the domain of a function 4 Identify the graph of a function 5 Analyze a piecewise-defined function 6 Obtain information from or about the graph of a function 7 Use properties of functions 8 Find the average rate of change of a function
Often there are situations where one variable is somehow linked to another variable. For example, the price of a gallon of gas is linked to the price of a barrel of oil. A person can be associated to her telephone number(s). The volume V of a sphere depends on its radius R. The force F exerted by an object corresponds to its acceleration a. These are examples of a relation, a correspondence between two sets called the domain and the range. If x is an element of the domain and y is an element of the range, and if a relation exists from x to y, then we say that y corresponds to x or that y depends on x, and we write x→y. It is often helpful to think of x as the input and y as the output of the relation. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 Suppose an astronaut standing on the Moon throws a rock 20 meters up and starts a stopwatch as the rock begins to fall back down. If x represents the number of seconds on the stopwatch and if y represents the altitude of the rock at that time, then there is a relation between time x and altitude y. If the altitude of the rock is measured at x = 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 seconds, then the altitude is approximately y = 19.2, 16.8, 15, 12.8, 7.2, and 0 meters, respectively. This is an example of a relation expressed verbally. The astronaut could also express this relation numerically, graphically, or algebraically. The relation can be expressed by a table of numbers (see Table 1) or by the set of ordered pairs {(0,20),(1,19.2),(2,16.8),(2.5,15),(3,12.8),(4,7.2),(5,0)}, where the first element of each pair denotes the time x and the second element denotes the altitude y. The relation also can be expressed visually, using either a graph, as in Figure 2, or a map, as in Figure 3. Finally, the relation can be expressed algebraically using the formula y=20−0.8x2 TABLE 1 Time, x (in seconds) 0 1 2 2.5 3

Figure 2
Figure 3 The NOTE Not every relation is a function. If any element x in the set X corresponds to more than one element value, y in the set Y, then the relation is not a function. 0 Time In this example, notice that if X is the set of times from 0 to 5 seconds and Y is (seconds) the set of altitudes from 0 to 20 meters, then each element of X corresponds to one corresponds and only one element of Y. Each given time value yields a unique, that is, exactly one,
altitude value. Any relation with this property is called a function from X into Y. DEFINITION Function
Let X and Y be two nonempty sets.* A function f from X into Y is a relation that associates with each element of X exactly one element of Y. The set X is called the domain of the function. For each element x in X, the corresponding element y in Y is called the value of the function at x, or the image of x. The set of all the images of the elements in the domain is called the range of the function. Since there may be elements in Y that are not images of any x in X, the range of a function is a subset of Y. See Figure 4.
Figure 4 1 Evaluate a Function Functions are often denoted by letters such as f, F, g, and so on. If f is a function, then for each element x in the domain, the corresponding image in the range is denoted by the symbol f(x), read “f of x.” f(x) is called the value of f at x. The variable x is called the independent variable or the argument because it can be assigned any element from the domain, while the variable y is called the dependent variable because its value depends on x. EXAMPLE 1 Evaluating a Function

Implicit Form of a Function
In general, a function f defined by an equation in x and y is given implicitly. If it is possible to solve the equation for y in terms of x, then we write y=f(x) and say the function is given explicitly. For example, Implicit FormExplicit Formx2−y=6y=f(x)=x2−6 xy=4y=g(x)=4x
In calculus we sometimes deal with functions that are defined implicitly and that cannot be expressed in explicit form. For example, if the function with independent variable x and dependent variable y is defined by sin(xy)=xy−2y+cos x−sin y, there is no method to solve for y and express the function explicitly. 2 Find the Difference Quotient of a Function An important concept in calculus involves working with a certain quotient. For a given function y=f(x), the inputs x and x+h, h≠0, result in the images f(x) and f(x+h). The quotient of their differences
f(x+h)−f(x)(x+h)−x=f(x+h)−f(x)h with h≠0,
is called the difference quotient of f at x.
DEFINITION Difference Quotient
The difference quotient of a function f at x is given by
f(x+h)−f(x)h h≠0 The difference quotient is used in calculus to define the derivative, which is used in applications such as the velocity of an object and optimization of resources. When finding a difference quotient, it is necessary to simplify the expression in order to cancel the h in the denominator, as illustrated in the next example.

For example, we might be close interested in the population of a city from 1990 to 2019. The domain of the function is time, parenthesis in years, and is restricted to the interval [1990, 2019]. Other times the domain is restricted by minus the context of the function itself. For example, the volume V of a sphere, given by the f of function V=43πR3, makes sense only if the radius R is greater than 0. But x often the domain of a function f is not specified; only the formula defining the function is all given. In such cases, the domain of f is the largest set of real numbers for which the value over
f(x)
is defined and is a real number.
EXAMPLE 4 Finding the Domain of a Function
Find the domain of each of the following functions: a. f(x)=x2+5x b. g(x)=3xx2−4 c. h(t)=4−3t d. F(u)=5uu2−1 Solution a. Since f(x)=x2+5x domain of f is the set of all real numbers.

The function g(x)=3xx2−4 is defined for any real number except and x=2. So, the domain of g is the set of real numbers {x|x≠−2,x≠2}.
c. Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, the value of 4−3t must be nonnegative. The solution of the inequality 4−3t≥0 domain of h is the set of real numbers t|t≤43

d. Since the square root is in the denominator, the value of u2−1 must be not only nonnegative, it also cannot equal zero. That is, u2−1>0. The solution of the inequality u2−1>0 is the set of real numbers {u|u1} or the set (−∞,−1)∪(1,∞).
▪
If x is in the domain of a function f, we say that f is defined at x, or f(x)
exists. If x is not in the domain of f, we say that f is not defined at x, or f(x) does not exist. The domain of a function is expressed using inequalities, interval notation, set notation, or words, whichever is most convenient. Notice the various ways the domain was expressed in the solution to Example 4. NOW WORK Problem 17.
4 Identify the Graph of a Function In applications, often a graph reveals the relationship between two variables more clearly than an equation. For example, Table 2 shows the average price of gasoline at a particular gas station in the United States (for the years 1985–2016 adjusted for inflation, based on 2014 dollars). If we plot these data using year as the independent variable and price as the dependent variable, and then connect the points (year, price) we obtain Figure 6.

This means the graph of a function never contains two down points with the same x -coordinate and different y -coordinates. Compare the graphs in moving Figures 7 and 8. In Figure 7, every number x is associated with exactly one number y, curving but in Figure 8 some numbers x are associated with three numbers y.

If the base of a logarithmic function is the number e, then it is called the natural logarithmic function, and it is given a special symbol, ln (from the Latin logarithmus naturalis).

An important property common to all trigonometric functions is that they are periodic. DEFINITION Periodic Function
A function f is called periodic if there is a positive number p with the property that whenever x is in the domain of f, so is x+p, and f(x+p)=f(x) If there is a smallest number p with this property, it is called the (fundamental) period of f. The sine, cosine, cosecant, and secant functions are periodic with period 2π
; the
tangent and cotangent functions are periodic with period π. THEOREM Period of Trigonometric Functions
sin(x+2π)=sin xcos(x+2π)=cos xtan(x+π)=tan xcsc(x+2π)=csc xsec(x+2π)=sec xcot(x+π)=cot
Because the trigonometric functions are periodic, once the values of the function over one period are known, the values over the entire domain are known. This property is useful for graphing trigonometric functions. The next result, also useful for graphing the trigonometric functions, is a consequence of the even-odd identities, namely, sin(−x)=−sin x and cos(−x)=cos x. From these, we have tan(−x)=sin(−x)cos(−x)=−sin xcos x= −tan xsec (−x)=1cos(−x)=1cos x=sec xcot(−x)=1tan(−x)=1−tanx= −cot xcsc(−x)=1sin(−x)=1−sin x=−cscx
THEOREM Even-Odd Properties of the Trigonometric Functions
The sine, tangent, cosecant, and cotangent functions are odd, so their graphs are symmetric with respect to the origin. The cosine and secant functions are even, so their graphs are symmetric with respect to the y -axis. NEED TO REVIEW? The values of the trigonometric functions for select numbers are discussed in Appendix A.4, pp. A-29 and A-31.
2 Graph the Trigonometric Functions To graph y=sin x, we use Table 7 on page 54 to obtain points on the graph. Then we plot some of these points and connect them with a smooth curve. Since the sine function has a period of 2π, continue the graph to the left of 0 and to the right of 2π. See Figure 72. TABLE 7

illustrates some facts about the sine function.
Properties of the Sine Function f(x)=sin x
The domain of f is the set of all real numbers. The range of f consists of all real numbers in the closed interval −1,1. The sine function is an odd function, so its graph is symmetric with respect to the origin. The sine function has a period of 2π. The x -intercepts of f are …, the y -intercept is 0.

The graph of the cosine function is obtained in a similar way. Locate points on the graph of the cosine function f(x)=cos x for 0≤x≤2π. Then connect the points with a smooth curve and continue the graph to the left of 0 and to the right of 2π to obtain the graph of y=cos x. See Figure 73.

respectively. The number A g(x)=A cos x.

where lim(Δx,Δy)→(0, 0) η1=0 andlim(Δx,Δy)→(0, 0) η2=0.
When the differentials dx=Δx and dy=Δy are close to 0, then η1 and η2 are also close to 0, and the differential dz is approximately equal to Δz . (4) That is, Δz≈dz=fx(x0, y0)dx+fy(x0, y0)dy The differential dz is usually easier to calculate than Δz, making dz a useful approximation to Δz . The error introduced in using dz to approximate Δz equals the expression η1Δx+η2Δy . 3 Use the Differential as an Approximating Tool EXAMPLE 4 Using the Differential in Astronomy

L=L(R, T)=4πR2 σT4 where R is the radius of the star (in meters), T is its effective surface temperature (in kelvin, K), and σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. For the sun, Ls=(3.90×1026) W, Rs=(6.94×108) m, and Ts=4800 K. Suppose in a billion years, the changes in the Sun will be ΔRs=(0.08×108) m and ΔTs=100 K. increase in luminosity?

The percent increase in luminosity will be approximately 10.6%
.
▪
Incidentally, a reasonable, although rough, estimate of how this change would affect Earth’s temperature is ΔTe≈14⋅0.106 Te=(0.0265)(290 K)≈7.69 K That is, the average temperature of Earth’s surface will change from 16.9 ∘C (62.4 ∘F to 24.6 ∘C (76.3 ∘F ). Such a change in temperature would be enough to modify Earth’s climate. EXAMPLE 5 Using the Differential in Error Analysis
A cola company requires a can in the shape of a right circular cylinder of height 10 cm and radius 3 cm . If the manufacturer of the cans claims a percentage error of no more than 0.2% in the height and no more than 0.1% in the radius, what is the approximate maximum variation in the volume of the can?

Solution The volume V of a right circular cylinder of height h cm is V=π R2 h cm3 . We find the differential dV.
and radius R cm
dV=∂V∂R dR+∂V∂h dh=2π Rh dR+π R2 dh
The relative error in the radius R is |ΔR|R=|dR|R=0.001,

relative error in the height h is Δhh=|dh|h=0.002 the volume V is

The maximum variation in the volume is approximately 0.4%, the container varies as follows:
so the actual volume of

Continuity and Differentiability for Functions of Two Variables Differentiable functions of a single variable are necessarily continuous. This result is also true for functions of two variables. THEOREM Differentiability Is Sufficient for Continuity
Let z=f(x, y) be a function of two variables whose domain is D . Let (x0, y0) be an interior point of D . If f is differentiable at (x0, y0), then f is continuous at (x0, y0) . Proof The function z=f(x, y)
is continuous at (x0, y0)
if
lim(x, y)→(x0, y0) f(x, y)=f(x0, y0) This is equivalent to the statement limx→y→(x0, y0) Δz=0. z=f(x, y) is differentiable at (x0, y0), then Δz
Since can be expressed as
Δz=fx(x0, y0)Δx+fy(x0, y0)Δy+η1Δx+η2Δy where lim(Δx,Δy)→(0, 0) η1=0 and lim(Δx,Δy)→(0, 0) η2=0. Then Δz=fx(x0, y0)+η1Δx+fy(x0, y0)+η2Δy Now let Δx=x-x0
and Δy=y-y0 is equivalent to (x, y)→(x0, y0)
. Then (Δx,Δy)→(0, 0) and
lim(x, y)→(x0, y0)Δz= lim(x, y)→(x0, y0){[fx(x0, y0)+η1 ](x−x0)+[fy(x0, y0)+η2 ](y
−y0)}=0 That is, f is continuous at (x0, y0)
.
▪
For functions of two variables, differentiability implies continuity. However, the existence of partial derivatives at a point does not necessarily result in continuity at that point because fx and/or fy might not be continuous at the point. For example, the function
f(x, y)=xyx2+y2if(x, y)≠(0, 0)0if(x, y)=(0, 0) has partial derivatives at (0, 0), continuous at (0, 0) .
but as shown in Example 10 on page 879, f is not
A function that is differentiable at (x0, y0) is continuous at (x0, y0). So, a function that is not continuous at (x0, y0) is not differentiable at (x0, y0) . The following corollary provides a condition for z=f(x, y) to be continuous. COROLLARY Continuity of a Function of Two Variables
Let z=f(x, y) be a function of two variables whose domain is D . Let (x0, y0) be an interior point of D . If the partial derivatives fx and fy exist at each point of some disk centered at (x0, y0), and if fx and fy are each continuous at (x0, y0), then f is continuous at (x0, y0) . Although the precise formulations are given as theorems, the following summary might be helpful: If z=f(x, y), The continuity of the partial derivatives fx and fy implies the differentiability of f . The differentiability of f implies the continuity of f . The continuity of the partial derivatives fx and fy implies the continuity of f . The existence of the partial derivatives fx differentiable.

for which
lim(Δx, Δy, Δz)→(0, 0, 0) η1=0 and lim(Δx, Δy, Δz)→(0, 0, 0) η2=0 and lim(Δx, Δy, Δz)→(0, 0, 0) η3=0

dx=Δxdy=Δydz=Δz The differential dw
is defined as
dw=fx(x0, y0, z0) dx+fy(x0, y0, z0) dy+fz(x0, y0, z0) dz
It can be shown that if w=f(x, y, z) is defined within a ball centered at (x0, y0, z0), and if the partial derivatives fx, fy, and fz exist in this ball and are continuous at (x0, y0, z0), then f is differentiable at (x0, y0, z0) . EXAMPLE 7 Finding the Differential of a Function of Three Variables
Find the differential dw
of the function w=f(x, y, z)=3x2 sin2 y cos z .

Since the partial derivatives are continuous everywhere, we have dw=fx(x, y, z) dx+fy(x, y, z) dy+fz(x, y, z) dz=6x sin2 y cos z dx+6x2 sin y cos y cos z dy3x2sin2 y sin z dz

12.5 Chain Rules OBJECTIVES When you finish this section, you should be able to: 1 Differentiate functions of several variables where each variable is a
function of a single variable 2 Differentiate functions of several variables where each variable is a function of two or more variables 3 Differentiate an implicitly defined function of several variables 4 Use a Chain Rule in a proof 1 Differentiate Functions of Several Variables Where Each Variable Is a Function of a Single Variable Recall that the Chain Rule is used to find the derivative of a composite function. For functions of several variables, there is more than one version of the Chain Rule. The first Chain Rule is used when the independent variables of a composite function are each a function of a single variable t. For example, for the function z=f(x, y) of two variables, if x=x(t) and y=y(t), then the composite function z=f(x(t), y(t)) is a function of a single independent variable t . NEED TO REVIEW? The Chain Rule is discussed in Section 3.1, pp. 208–215.
THEOREM Chain Rule I: One Independent Variable
If x=x(t)
and y=y(t) are differentiable functions of t, and if z=f(x, y) is a differentiable function of x and y, then z=f(x(t), y(t)) is a differentiable function of t . Moreover,
dzdt=∂z∂x dxdt+∂z∂y dydt
Proof Since dzdt=limΔt→0 ΔzΔt, we seek an expression for Δz z=f(x, y) is differentiable, the change Δz is
. Since
Δz=∂z∂xΔx+∂z∂yΔy+η1Δx+η2Δy where η1
and η2
are functions of Δx
and Δy
and lim(Δx, Δy)→(0, 0) η1=0
and lim(Δx, Δy)→(0, 0) η2=0
. Next we divide both
sides by Δt. ΔzΔt=∂z∂x ΔxΔt+∂z∂y ΔyΔt+η1ΔxΔt+η2ΔyΔt Then dzdt=limΔt→0 ΔzΔt=limΔt→0∂z∂x ΔxΔt+∂z∂y ΔyΔt+η1ΔxΔt+η2ΔyΔt
In the right-hand expression, ∂z∂x and ∂z∂y and do not depend on Δt . Also, since x=x(t) differentiable,
are evaluated at (x(t), y(t)) and y=y(t) are
limΔt→0 ΔxΔt=dxdtandlimΔt→0 ΔyΔt=dydt Furthermore, as Δt→0, and η2→0
then (Δx,Δy)→(0, 0), . Putting this all together, we get
so that η1→0
dzdt=∂z∂x limΔt→0 ΔxΔt+∂z∂y limΔt→0 ΔyΔt+limΔt→0 η1⋅limΔt→0 ΔxΔt+limΔt→0 η2⋅limΔt→0 ΔyΔt=∂z∂x dxdt+∂z∂y dydt+0⋅dxdt+0⋅dydt=∂z∂x dxdt+∂z∂y dydt
▪ The tree diagram in Figure 38 may help you to remember the form of Chain Rule I.

and the
and dydt.
∂z∂x=2xy-y2∂z∂y=x2-2xydxdt=cos tdydt=et
Then use Chain Rule I to find dzdt.
(1)
Since z is a function of t, we express dzdt
in terms of t.
dzdt=(2et sin t-e2t)(cos t)+(sin2 t-2et sin t)(et)x=sin t,y=et=et[sin(2t)-et cos t+sin2 t-2et sin t]2 sin t cos t=sin(2t)
▪
When dzdt
is expressed in terms of x, y, and t, as in (1), we say it is expressed
in mixed form. When dzdt is expressed in terms of t alone, as in (2), we say it is in final form. When computations become involved, we will leave our answers in mixed form. NOW WORK Problem 3.
EXAMPLE 2 Differentiating a Function of Two Variables Where Each Variable Is a Function of t
Let z=ex sin y, .
where x=et
and y=π3 e-t
Solution Begin by finding the partial derivatives ∂z∂x dxdt
and dydt
and ∂z∂y,
. Find dzdt
at t=0
and the derivatives
.
∂z∂x=ex sin y∂z∂y=ex cos ydxdt=etdydt=-π3 e-t
Then use Chain Rule I to find dzdt.
The above expression for dzdt . When t=0,
is in mixed form. We can use it to evaluate dzdt
then x=e0=1
and y=π3 e0=π3
at t=0
. So, when
t=0, dzdt t=0=e sin π3(1)+e cos π3-π3=e32-πe6=e6(33-π)
▪ NOW WORK Problem 41.
Chain Rule I extends to functions of three or more variables, where each of these variables is a function of a single variable t. If z=f(x1, x2,…,xn) differentiable and each variable xi=xi(t), i=1, 2,…,n, is a differentiable function of t, then
is
dzdt=∂z∂x1 dx1dt+∂z∂x2 dx2dt+⋯+∂z∂xn dxndt
where each of the partial derivatives ∂z∂x1,…,∂z∂xn t.
is expressed in terms of
EXAMPLE 3 Differentiating a Function of Three Variables Where Each Variable Is a Function of t
Find dwdt and z=5t
if w=x2 y+y2 z, .
where x=sin t,
y=cos t,
Solution Use Chain Rule I since each variable is a function of a single variable t . dwdt=∂w∂x dxdt+∂w∂y dydt+∂w∂z dzdt=(2xy)(cos t)+(x2+2yz)(-sin t)+y2(5)
Now since w is a function of t, write the derivative in terms of t alone. dwdt=2 sin t cos2 t-sin3 t-10 t sin t cos t+5 cos2 t
▪ NOTE For functions of a single variable t, it is sometimes easier to express the function in terms of t, and then differentiate it. NOW WORK Example 3 by expressing w as a function of t . NOW WORK Problem 17.
2 Differentiate Functions of Several Variables Where Each Variable Is a
Function of Two or More Variables A second version of the Chain Rule is used for differentiating z=f(x, y), where x and y are each functions of two independent variables u and v . For example, if x=g(u, v) and y=h(u, v), then the composite function z=f(x, y)=f(g(u, v), h(u, v)) is a function of the two variables u and v . We seek the partial derivatives ∂z∂u
and ∂z∂v
.
THEOREM Chain Rule II : Two Independent Variables
Let z=f(g(u, v), h(u, v)) be the composite of z=f(x, y), where x=g(u, v) and y=h(u, v) . If g and h are each continuous and have continuous first-order partial derivatives at a point (u, v) in the interior of the domains of both g and h, and if f is differentiable in some disk centered at the point (x, y)=(g(u, v), h(u, v)), then ∂z∂u=∂z∂x ∂x∂u+∂z∂y ∂y∂uand∂z∂v=∂z∂x ∂x∂v+∂z∂y ∂y∂v
Proof To find ∂z∂u, we hold v fixed. Then x=g(u, v) and y=h(u, v) are functions of u alone, and we can use Chain Rule I. Then ∂z∂u=∂z∂x dxdu+∂z∂y dydu. and replace dydu
with ∂y∂u
Now replace dxdu
with ∂x∂u,
.
A similar argument is used for finding ∂z∂v
.

The tree diagrams in Figures 39 and 40 may help you remember the form of Chain Rule II.

Find ∂z∂u
and ∂z∂v
if z=f(x, y)=x2+xy-y2
and x=e2u + v
and y=ln vu. Solution The function z=f(x, y) is a composite function of two independent variables u and v. So, we use Chain Rule II.
∂z∂u=∂z∂x ∂x∂u+∂z∂y ∂y∂uand∂z∂v=∂z∂x ∂x∂v+∂z∂y ∂y∂v
Since ∂z∂x=2x+y∂z∂y=x-2y∂x∂u=2e2u + v∂y∂u=∂∂u(ln v-ln u)=-1u
we have
Similarly, since ∂x∂v=e2u + v
and ∂y∂v=1v,
we have
▪ Notice that since z is a function of u and v, the final form of ∂z∂u is expressed in terms of only u and v.
and ∂z∂v
NOW WORK Problem 31.
The form of Chain Rule II stays the same if z is a function of m≥3 variables. That is, if z=f(x1, x2,…,xm) is a differentiable function, and if each of the variables x1=g1(u1, u2,…,un), x2=g2(u1, u2,…,un), …,xm=gm(u1, u2,…,un) has continuous first-order partial derivatives, then the composite function z=f(g1(u1, …,un), g2(u1,…,un),…,gm(u1,…,un)) is a function of u1, u2,…,un, and the partial derivatives are found using an extension of Chain Rule II.
∂z∂u1=∂z∂x1 ∂x1∂u1+∂z∂x2 ∂x2∂u1+⋯+∂z∂xm ∂xm∂u1∂z∂u2=∂z∂x1 ∂x1∂u2+∂z∂x2 ∂x2∂u2+⋯+∂z∂xm ∂xm∂u2⋮∂z∂un=∂z∂x1 ∂x1∂un+∂z∂x2 ∂x2∂un+⋯+∂z∂xm ∂xm∂un
These partial derivatives can be written more compactly as

for the function w=f(x, y, z)=x2+y2+z2, y=eu + v + s + t, and
Solution We use an extension of Chain Rule II, where each variable x, y, and z is a function of four variables: u, v, s, t . ∂w∂u=∂w∂x ∂x∂u+∂w∂y ∂y∂u+∂w∂z ∂z∂u∂w∂v=∂w∂x ∂x∂v+∂w∂y ∂y∂v+∂w∂z ∂z∂v=(2x) (vst)+(2y)(eu + v + s + t)+(2z)(1)=(2x)(ust)+(2y)(eu + v + s + t)+(2z) (2)=2uv2s2t2+2e2(u + v + s + t)+2(u+2v+3s+4t)=2u2 vs2t2+2e2(u + v + s + t)+4(u+2v+3s+4t)∂ ∂x∂s+∂w∂y ∂y∂s+∂w∂z ∂z∂s∂w∂t=∂w∂x ∂x∂t+∂w∂y ∂y∂t+∂w∂z ∂z∂t=(2x)(uvt)+(2y) (eu + v + s + t)+(2z)(3)=(2x)(uvs)+(2y)(eu + v + s + t)+(2z) (4)=2u2v2 st2+2e2(u + v + s + t)+6(u+2v+3s+4t)=2u2v2s2 t+2e2(u + v + s + t)+8(u+2v+3s+4t)

3 Differentiate an Implicitly Defined Function of Several Variables If a differentiable function y=f(x) of one variable is defined implicitly by the equation F(x, y)=0, then F(x, f(x))=0 for all x in the domain of f .

Also because u=x,

CHAPTER 12 PROJECT Searching for Exoplanets
To find an exoplanet generally requires powerful telescopes, but some exoplanets can be observed by amateur astronomers with smaller telescopes and careful observation using the transit method. When using less powerful telescopes, very small errors can greatly affect the results of the observation since the change in apparent brightness of the star because of the transit is at most a few percent. Atmospheric scintillation, the main source of error, refers to variations, due to differences in the index of refraction of Earth’s atmosphere, in the apparent brightness (magnitude) of an extrasolar object. When a star is viewed through a lens, the error E in magnitude due to atmospheric scintillation is estimated by (1) E(D, Z, h, T)=0.09D-2⁄3(2T)-1⁄21cos Z1.75e(-h⁄8000)
where D Z h T
is the diameter, in centimeters, of the lens of the telescope is the zenithal angle, in degrees, of the planet is the altitude, in meters above sea level, of the telescope is the exposure time in seconds.
The zenithal angle is defined to be the angle from the highest point in the sky (Z=0∘ ) to an object in the heavens, and it is important because there is less atmosphere to get in the way of viewing a star that is higher in the sky. To obtain observations accurate enough to detect the small fluctuation that would indicate the transit of an exoplanet, the fluctuation in magnitude due to scintillation needs to be smaller than 0.001 . 1. Suppose the diameter of the telescope lens is 7.1 cm,
the zenithal angle is 20∘,
and the altitude of the telescope is 3000 m . What is the minimum exposure time needed to keep the error E in magnitude below 0.001 ? Round the answer to the nearest second. 2. Repeat Problem 1 for h=4000 m and h=5000 m . Comment on the effect of altitude on the error. Explain why your result makes sense in terms of the effects of atmospheric scintillation. 3. Find limZ→0 E(7.1, Z,3000, 180)

or
b. using a platform to increase the altitude of the telescope to 3200 m
.
10. Suppose you are interested in astronomy and searching for exoplanets. You research the cost of telescopes with different-size lenses and the resulting effects that the different lenses will have on your observations.

Measuring Ice Thickness on Crystal Lake Minnesota’s nickname is the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and in the winter many of those lakes freeze over. While this might put an end to some water sports like swimming, it opens up a host of other activities for Minnesotans to enjoy—ice skating, ice fishing, ice hockey, ice golf, ice bowling, and ice driving, to name just a few. The annual Art Shanty Projects festival on Medicine Lake even features shacks (complete with radio and heaters), sculptures, printing presses, and concerts, all comfortably resting atop the lake’s frozen surface. Of course, a frozen lake can only host those people and events that its ice will support. Specific estimates vary, but the recommended ice depth that will safely support one ice skater is about 4 inches. A dozen or more ice skaters might
require closer to 7 inches of ice. A small truck? That would need about 10.5 inches. But how do you determine the depth of the ice on a given lake? Trial and error is prohibitively risky. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources suggests that you ask at local bait shops or resorts. In the chapter project, we examine another method for measuring ice depth. CHAPTER 13 PROJECT In the Chapter Project on page 949, we use two hypothetical models to measure the ice depth in a frozen lake.
In Chapter 12 we defined the partial derivatives ∂ z∂ x=fx(x, y) ∂z∂y=fy(x, y)
of a function z=f(x, y)
and of two variables. One
interpretation of fx(x, y) and fy(x, y) is the rate of change of z in the direction of the positive x -axis and in the direction of the positive y -axis, respectively. Here we generalize these ideas to obtain the rate of change of z in any direction, a directional derivative. Directional derivatives lead us to the gradient, a vector that is used in finding tangent planes to a surface. The gradient also provides information about paths of quickest ascent (or descent) on a surface. Finally, we revisit optimization. Just as derivatives are used to find extreme values of functions of a single variable, partial derivatives are used to find extreme values of functions of several variables. We identify techniques for locating extreme values on a surface and investigate applications involving optimization of functions of two variables.

variables 1 Find the Directional Derivative of a Function of Two Variables In Chapter 2, we saw that an important interpretation of the derivative of a function y=f(x) is the rate of change of f. In Chapter 12, the partial derivatives of a function z=f(x, y) at the point (x0,y0) are defined as fx(x0,y0)=limΔx→0 f(x0+Δx, y0)-f(x0,y0)Δxfy(x0,y0)=limΔy→0 f(x0,y0+Δy)-f(x0,y0)Δy
where (x0,y0) fx(x0,y0)
is an interior point of the domain of f. The partial derivative equals the rate of change of f at (x0,y0) in the direction of the
positive x -axis, and the partial derivative fy(x0,y0) equals the rate of change of f at (x0,y0) in the direction of the positive y -axis. But what if we want the rate of change of f in a direction other than the positive x -axis or the positive y -axis? To lay the groundwork consider a function z=f(x, y) whose graph is a surface in space. In Figure 1, P0=(x0,y0) is an interior point in the domain of f, and u=cos θi+sin θj is a unit vector in the xy -plane with its initial point at P0 making an angle θ, 0≤θ0

If the system is nonlinear, no general method of solution is available and a CAS is generally used. If solving by hand, care must be taken because extraneous roots are sometimes introduced.

3 Find the Absolute Extrema of a Function of Two Variables For a function f of one variable, the Extreme Value Theorem states that if f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b], then f has an absolute maximum value and an absolute minimum value on that interval. For functions of two variables, there is a similar theorem. But first we need to define the set in the plane that is analogous to a closed interval on the real line. Recall that a set D is closed if it contains all its boundary points. We say that D is bounded if D can be enclosed by some disk (if D is in the plane) or by some ball (if D is in space). With this definition, we can state the following two-variable version of the Extreme Value Theorem:
THEOREM Extreme Value Theorem for Functions of Two Variables
Let z=f(x, y) bounded set D,
be a function of two variables. If f is continuous on a closed, then f has an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum on D.
NEED TO REVIEW? Open and closed sets are discussed in Section 12.2, p. 867.
To find the absolute extrema of a function satisfying the criteria of the Extreme Value Theorem for Functions of Two Variables, we note that if f has an extreme value at (x0,y0), then (x0,y0) either is a critical point of f or is a boundary point of D. As a result, we have the following test: THEOREM Test for Absolute Maximum and Absolute Minimum
Let z=f(x, y) be a function of two variables defined on a closed, bounded set D. If f is continuous on D, then the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value of f are, respectively, the largest and smallest values found among the following: The values of f at the critical points of f in D The values of f on the boundary of D
EXAMPLE 5 Finding Absolute Extrema
Find the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum of z=f(x, y)=2x-2xy+y2 whose domain is the region defined by 0≤x≤4
and 0≤y≤3.
Solution The function f is continuous on its domain, which is a closed, bounded set. Then the Extreme Value Theorem for Functions of Two Variables guarantees that f has an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum on its domain. To find them, we need the critical points of f. Since fx and fy exist at every point in the domain of f, the critical points of f are the solutions of the system of equations
fx(x, y)=2-2y=0fy(x, y)=-2x+2y=0 Solving, we find that the only critical point is (1, 1).
The value of f at (1, 1)
is
f(1, 1)=2⋅1-2⋅1⋅1+12=1 The domain of f is the set 0≤x≤4, 0≤y≤3. domain of f consists of the four line segments L1, L2, Figure 19. We evaluate f on each line segment.

Solution The function f is continuous on its domain, a closed, bounded set. The Extreme Value Theorem for Functions of Two Variables guarantees that f has an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum on its domain. To find them, find the critical points of f.

4 Solve Optimization Problems Now that we have the tools for finding the extrema of functions of two variables, we can investigate applied problems that involve optimization. EXAMPLE 7 Solving an Optimization Problem: Minimizing Resources Used
A manufacturer wants to make an open rectangular box of volume V=500 cm3 using the least possible amount of material. Find the dimensions of the box. Solution Let x and y be the dimensions of the base of the box, and let z be the height of the box. Then V=500=xyz cm3x>0y>0z>0 The manufacturer wants to minimize the amount of material used, which equals the surface area S of the box. Since the box is open, S=xy+2xz+2yz If we solve the equation 500=xyz for z and substitute z=500xy into the formula for the surface area S of the box, we can express S as a function of two variables. S=S(x, y)=xy+2x⋅500xy+2y⋅500xy=xy+1000y+1000x
This is the function to be minimized. The partial derivatives of S are Sx=y-1000x2andSy=x-1000y2 Since x>0
and y>0,
the critical points satisfy the system of equations
y-1000x2=0x-1000y2=0 Using substitution, we find x=y=10001/3=10. the only critical point of S. The second-order partial derivatives of S are
So the point (10, 10) is
Sxx=∂∂x y-1000x2=2000x3Sxy=∂∂y y-1000x2=1Syy=∂∂y x-1000y2=2000y3
At the critical point (10, 10),
A=Sxx(10, 10)=2000103=2B=Sxy(10, 10)=1C=Syy(10, 10)=2000103=2AC-B2=3>0
From the Second Partial Derivative Test, S has a local minimum at (10, 10). But, we want to know where S attains its absolute minimum. Since the physical properties of the problem require that the absolute minimum exists, the local minimum is also the absolute minimum. Consequently, the dimensions (in centimeters) of the open box of volume V=500 cm3 that uses the least amount of material are x=10 cmy=10 cmz=500100=5 cm
▪ In Example 7, the conditions of the Extreme Value Theorem for Functions of Two Variables were not met, since the domain of S is not bounded. Fortunately, in applied problems (such as Example 7), it is often possible to argue from physical or geometric properties that an absolute extremum must exist and that it must occur at one of the local extrema. NOW WORK Problem 49.
EXAMPLE 8 Solving an Optimization Problem: Maximizing Profit
The demand functions for two products are p=12-2xandq=20-y where p and q are the respective prices (in thousands of dollars) of each product, and x and y are the respective amounts (in thousands of units) of each sold. Suppose the joint cost function is C(x, y)=x2+2xy+2y2 a. Find the revenue function R=R(x, y)
and the profit function P=P(x, y).
b. Determine the prices and amounts that will maximize profit. c. What is the maximum profit? Solution a. Revenue is the amount of money brought in. That is, revenue is the product of price and quantity sold. The revenue function R=R(x, y) is the sum of the
revenues from each product. R(x, y)=xp+yq=x(12-2x)+y(20-y) Profit is the difference between revenue and cost. The profit function P=P(x, y) is P(x, y)=R(x, y)-C(x, y)=[x(12-2x)+y(20-y)]-[x2+2xy+2y2]=12x-2x2+20y-y2-x2-2xy2y2=-3x2-3y2-2xy+12x+20y
b. The partial derivatives of P are Px(x, y)=∂∂x (-3x2-3y2-2xy+12x+20y)=-6x-2y+12Py(x, y)=∂∂y (-3x2-3y22xy+12x+20y)=-6y-2x+20
Find the critical points by solving the system of equations: -6x-2y+12=0-2x-6y+20=0 We solve the first equation for y and substitute the result into the second equation. Since y=6-3x, then -2x-6(6-3x)+20=0x=1 and y=6-3⋅1=3, so (1, 3) The second-order partial derivatives are

Pxx(x, y)=-6Pxy(x, y)=-2Pyy(x, y)=-6 At the critical point (1, 3), Pxx(1, 3)=-60 From the Second Partial Derivative Test, P has a local maximum at (1, 3). The domains of the demand functions p=12-2x and q=20-y
are
0≤x≤6 and 0≤y≤20, respectively. Since the domain of the profit function P is 0≤x≤6, 0≤y≤20, the domain is closed and bounded, so a maximum profit exists. From the test for absolute maximum and absolute minimum, the maximum profit is found at a critical point or on the boundary of the domain. Figure 21 shows the boundary of the profit function P, and Table 1 gives the maximum value of P on its boundary and at the critical point ( 1, 3 ).

NEED TO REVIEW? The Second Derivative Test is discussed in Section 4.4, pp. 302–304.
In Example 1, we solved the problem by eliminating the variable y and treating the problem as a minimum problem in one variable. Sometimes, however, it is not easy, or perhaps it is impossible, to eliminate a variable. Then the Method of Lagrange Multipliers is useful. Before we use the method, let’s look at a geometric rationale. A Geometric Rationale for the Method of Lagrange Multipliers Consider Example 1 again. We want to minimize the function z=f(x, y)=12x+3y, subject to the constraint g(x, y)=xy-4=0. The graph of g(x, y)=xy-4=0 is a curve (a hyperbola) in the xy -plane. We are interested in finding the smallest value of z=f(x, y), where (x, y) is a point in the first quadrant on the graph of g(x, y)=0. Figure 22 shows several level curves of the plane z=12x+3y. On each level curve, the value of z is fixed. We want the smallest z that coincides with the hyperbola xy=4. Figure 22 shows that the minimum value of z occurs precisely at the point where the line 12x+3y=24 is tangent to the graph of the hyperbola xy=4. At this point, the two curves have a common tangent line, so they must have the same normal line. Since the gradient gives the direction of the normal line to a curve, it follows that ∇f is parallel to ∇g. That is, there is a scalar λ≠0, so that ∇f=λ∇gandg(x, y)=0
Figure 22 Minimum value of z=12x+3y
subject to xy=4
is z=24.
This discussion leads to the following result. THEOREM Lagrange’s Theorem
Let f and g be functions of two variables with continuous partial derivatives at every point of some open set containing the smooth curve g(x, y)=0. Suppose that f, when restricted to points on the curve g(x, y)=0, has a local extremum at the point (x0,y0) and that ∇g(x0,y0)≠0. Then there is a number λ for which ∇f(x0,y0)=λ∇g(x0,y0) Proof Express the smooth curve C defined by g(x, y)=0 as a parametric equation in vector form r(t)=x(t)i+y(t)j. Define the function s(t)=f(x(t),y(t)) and choose t0 so that x0=x(t0), y0=y(t0). Now since f has a local extremum at the point (x0,y0), the extreme value is given by s(t0)=f(x(t0),y(t0))=f(x0,y0)
Then s′(t0)=0.
By Chain Rule I,
s′(t0)=fx(x0,y0) x′(t0)+fy(x0,y0) y′(t0)dsdt=∂s∂x dxdt+∂s∂y dydt=∇f(x0,y0)⋅r′(t0)Definition of the gradient=0
If ∇f(x0,y0)≠0, it is orthogonal to r′(t0), which is a tangent vector to C at (x0,y0). Since the gradient is normal to the level curve at (x0,y0), the vector ∇g(x0,y0) is also orthogonal to r′(t0). If ∇f(x0,y0)=0, then let λ=0. Then, in every case, there is a number λ for which ∇f(x0,y0)=λ∇g(x0,y0).

ORIGINS Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736–1813), a.k.a. Giuseppe Lodovico Lagrangia, was a self-taught mathematician and astronomer. He was born and began his career teaching in Turin, Italy, but later moved first to Berlin and then to Paris, where he held prestigious positions at the Berlin Academy and Académie des Sciences. After the French Revolution (1789), Lagrange was named the first professor of analysis at the École Polytechnique, in Paris. Lagrange is one of 72 names of mathematicians, engineers, and scientists inscribed on the Eiffel Tower.
The number λ in the equations ∇f(x, y)=λ∇g(x, y) is called a Lagrange multiplier. Since ∇f=λ∇g, we have fxi+fyj=λ(gxi+gyj), so that fx(x, y)=λ gx(x, y)
and
fy(x, y)=λ gy(x, y). These equations and the equation g(x, y)=0 form a system of three equations in the three unknowns x,y, and λ.
fx(x, y)=λ gx(x, y)fy(x, y)=λ gy(x, y)g(x, y)=0
A solution (x0,y0) of the system of equations is called a test point, since it is a candidate for the desired extrema. The maximum and minimum values, if they exist, are found by choosing the largest and smallest values of z=f(x, y) at the test points. 1 Use Lagrange Multipliers for an Optimization Problem with One Constraint EXAMPLE 2 Solving Example 1 Using Lagrange Multipliers
Find the point in the first quadrant on the hyperbola xy=4, where the value of z=12x+3y is a minimum. What is the minimum value? Solution We can restate the problem to read as follows: Find the minimum value of z=f(x, y)=12x+3y subject to the condition xy=4, where x>0 and y>0. The test points satisfy the equations ∇f(x, y)=λ∇g(x, y)g(x, y)=xy-4=0x>0y>0
(1)
where λ is a number. Since ∇f(x, y)=12i+3j and ∇g(x, y)=yi+xj, the equations in (1) lead to the following system of three equations containing three variables: 12=λyfx(x, y)=λ gx(x, y)3=λxfy(x, y)=λ gy(x, y)xy-4=0g(x, y)=0
We solve this system by eliminating λ from the first two equations. This results in y=4x, so the third equation becomes 4x2-4=0x=1orx=-1 Since x>0, point is (1, 4).
▪
we ignore x=-1. When x=1, then y=4, The corresponding minimum value of z=12x+3y
so the only test is z=24.
NOTE In eliminating λ,
we use the fact that λ≠0
since ∇f≠0.

fx=2x+4=0fy=2y-4=0x=-2y=2 The point (-2, 2) lies outside the disk x2+y2≤2, so f has no relevant critical points. The extrema must occur on the boundary of the domain, that is, on the curve x2+y2=2.

Lagrange multipliers can be used for functions of three variables. The extreme values of w=f(x, y,z) subject to the constraint g(x, y,z)=0, if they exist, occur at the solutions (x, y,z) of the system of equations. ∇f(x, y,z)=λ∇g(x, y,z)andg(x, y,z)=0 These equations form a system of four equations in the four unknowns x, y, z, and λ.
EXAMPLE 5 Using Lagrange Multipliers with a Function of Three Variables
A container in the shape of a rectangular box is open on top and has a fixed volume of 12 m3 . The material used to make the bottom of the container costs $3 per square meter, while the material used for the sides costs $1 per square meter. What dimensions will minimize the cost of material?
Solution Let x be the width of the container, y be its depth, and z be its height. Then the volume of the box is xyz=12. The cost function C=C(x, y,z), which is to be minimized, is C(x, y,z)=3xy+2xz+2yz We use Lagrange multipliers. Step 1 We want to minimize C subject to the constraint g(x, y,z)=xyz-12=0. Step 2 The functions C and g each have continuous partial derivatives. and g(x, y, z)=0
Step 3 The equations ∇C(x, y,z)=λ∇g(x, y,z) lead to the system of equations 3y+2z=λyzCx(x, y,z)=λ gx(x, y,z)(1)3x+2z=λxzCy(x, y,z)=λ gy(x, y,z) (2)2x+2y=λxyCz(x, y,z)=λ gz(x, y,z)(3)xyz-12=0g(x, y,z)=0(4)

2 Use Lagrange Multipliers for an Optimization Problem with Two Constraints Lagrange multipliers can be used to solve problems involving more than one constraint. In the two-constraint situation, we seek the extreme values of a function w=f(x, y,z) subject to two constraints g(x, y,z)=0 and h(x, y,z)=0. The extreme values of f, if they exist, occur at solutions (x, y,z) of the system of five equations containing the five variables x,y,z,λ1, and λ2. ∇f(x, y,z)=λ1∇g(x, y,z)+λ2∇h(x, y,z)g(x, y,z)=0h(x, y,z)=0
where λ1
and λ2
are Lagrange multipliers.
EXAMPLE 6 Using Lagrange Multipliers with Two Constraints
Find the points of intersection of the ellipsoid x2+y2+9z2=25 and the plane x+3y-2z=0 that are farthest from the origin. Also find the points that are closest to the origin. Solution See Figure 24.
Figure 24 Let C be the curve formed by intersecting the ellipsoid and the plane, and let P=(x, y,z) be a point on C. We use the steps for Lagrange multipliers. Step 1 The function to be optimized is the distance d from P to the origin: d=f(x, y,z)=x2+y2+z2 subject to the constraints g(x, y,z)=x2+y2+9z2-25=0The point must be on the ellipsoid.h(x, y,z)=x+3y-2z=0The point must be on the plane.
Step 2 The functions f,g, and h are each functions of three variables, and each has continuous partial derivatives at every point of some open set containing the smooth curve defined by g(x, y,z)=0 and h(x, y,z)=0. Step 3 We introduce two Lagrange multipliers and solve the system of equations ∇f(x, y,z)=λ1∇g(x, y,z)+λ2∇h(x, y,z), g(x, y,z)=0, and h(x, y,z)=0. xx2+y2+z2=2 λ1x+λ2fx(x, y,z)=λ1 gx(x, y,z)+λ2 hx(x, y,z)yx2+y2+z2=2 λ1y+3 λ2fy(x, y,z)=λ1 gy(x, y,z)+λ2 hy(x, y,z)zx2+y2+z2=18 λ1z-2 λ2fz(x, y,z)=λ1 gz(x, y,z)+λ2 hz(x, y,z)x2+y2+9z2-25=0g(x, y,z)=0x+3y-2z=0h(x, y,z)=0
Eliminating λ1 and λ2 from the first three equations, we have two possibilities: z=0 or y=3x. Using each of these equations with the constraints x2+y2+9z2-25=0 and x+3y-2z=0 results in the following: z=0:-1510,510,05 units from the origin1510,-510,05 units from the originy=3x:5235,15235,25235875235≈1.930 units from the origin5235,-15235,-25235875235≈1.930 units from the origin

CHAPTER 13 PROJECT Measuring Ice Thickness on Crystal Lake
In this project we examine safety issues involving frozen fresh-water lakes. When a lake freezes over, the depth of the ice varies from place to place on the lake. If we can construct a model that gives the depth of ice at any position on a lake, then we can determine whether a given position is safe or not for a particular load/activity. Based on studies of ice depth, Table 1 lists minimum safe ice depths for various loads and activities on clear lake ice.

The Mass of Stars Some of the most massive objects in the universe are not solid, but are large balls of gas—stars. The nearest star, the Sun, has a mass of 1.99×1030 kg and is about 333,000 times more massive than Earth. Stars are often depicted on a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, or HR diagram, which compares the luminosity (brightness) and color (temperature) of stars. As
centuries pass, the composition of a star changes because of the nuclear reactions at the center that generate the energy we see as light. Over billions of years changes in composition alter the star’s structure and the star evolves, tracing a unique path in the HR diagram determined primarily by its mass. CHAPTER 14 PROJECT The Chapter Project on page 1023 investigates models for determining the mass of a star. In Chapter 5, we defined the definite integral of a function (of a single variable). When extended to functions of two or more variables, definite integrals are called multiple integrals. The integral of a function of two variables is called a double integral, and the integral of a function of three variables is a triple integral. For consistency, we refer to the integral of a function of one variable as a single integral. In Chapter 6, we used a single integral to find the area of a region, the volume and surface area of a solid, arc length, and the work done by a variable force. Two of the many uses of multiple integrals are to find areas and volumes of more general regions than those considered in Chapter 6.
14.1 The Double Integral over a Rectangular Region OBJECTIVES When you finish this section, you should be able to: 1 Find double Riemann sums of z=f(x,y)
over a closed rectangular
region 2 Find the value of a double integral defined on a closed rectangular region 3 Find the volume under a surface and over a rectangular region Historically, the investigation of the area problem led to the definite integral. Similarly, the search for methods to find the volume of an irregularly shaped solid led to the development of multiple integrals. 1 Find Double Riemann Sums of z=f(x,y) Region
over a Closed Rectangular
Since the development of multiple integrals parallels that of a single integral, we begin by reviewing the process that led to the definition of a single integral. To define a single integral, we begin with a function y=f(x) interval [a,b]. Then we:
defined on a closed
Partition [a,b]
into n subintervals of lengths Δx1, Δx2,…,Δxi,…,Δxn. (Recall that the lengths of the subintervals need not be equal and the length of the largest subinterval is the norm, max Δxi, of the partition.) Choose a number ui in each subinterval. Evaluate f at ui,
multiply f(ui)
by Δxi,
and form the Riemann sums
∑i=1n f(ui)Δxi.

begin with a function z=f(x,y) of two variables defined on a closed rectangular region R defined by a≤x≤b and c≤y≤d. Partition the interval [a,b] into n subintervals of length Δxi, i=1,2,…,n, and the interval [c,d] into m subintervals of length Δyj, j=1,2, …,m. By drawing lines parallel to the coordinate axes through the endpoints of the subintervals, we form a rectangular partition P of the region R into nm subrectangles Rij. Now we define the norm, ∥Δ∥, of the rectangular partition as the largest of the lengths of the subintervals Δxi or Δyj. That is, ∥Δ∥=max(Δxi,Δyj). See Figure 1.
Figure 1 A rectangular partition of the region R.
The norm of the partition, ∥Δ∥,
the largest of the lengths of the subintervals Δxi
or Δyj.
In each subrectangle Rij, choose a point (uij,vij), z=f(x,y) at (uij,vij), multiply f(uij,vij) Δyj, and form the sums ∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uij,vij)ΔAij=∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uij,vij)Δxi Δyj
is
evaluate the function by the area ΔAij=Δxi
These sums are called the double Riemann sums of f for the partition P. Although the subintervals Δxi, i=1, 2,…,n need not be equal, we usually partition [a,b] into n subintervals each of the same length Δx=b-an. Similarly, we usually partition [c,d]
into m subintervals each of the
same length Δy=d-cm. EXAMPLE 1 Finding Double Riemann Sums
Let f(x,y)=x2y be a function defined on the square having its lower left corner at (1, 0) and its upper right corner at (5, 4), as shown in Figure 2. a. Find a double Riemann sum of f over this region by partitioning the square into four congruent subsquares. Choose the lower left corner of each subsquare as (uij,vij). b. Find a double Riemann sum of f over this region by partitioning the square into eight congruent rectangles with sides of length Δxi=2, i=1, 2, and Δyj=1, j=1, 2, 3, 4. Choose the lower right corner of each rectangle as (uij,vij).
Figure 2 f(x,y)=x2y
is defined on the square 1≤x≤5, 0≤y≤4.
Solution a. Begin by partitioning the square in Figure 2 into four congruent subsquares. We form four subsquares by partitioning the interval [1, 5] into two subintervals each of
length Δxi=5-12=2, i=1, 2,
and by partitioning the interval [0, 4]
into two subintervals each of length Δyj=4-02=2,j=1, 2. So, Δxi Δyj=2⋅2=4 for i=1, 2 and j=1, 2. Now draw lines parallel to the coordinate axes through the endpoints of each subinterval. Figure 3 shows the lower left corner of each subsquare.
Figure 3 The square is partitioned into four congruent subsquares. The double Riemann sum for which (uij,vij) subsquare is
is the lower left corner of each
∑j=12∑i=12 f(uij,vij)Δxi Δyj=f(1, 0)⋅4+f(3, 0)⋅4+f(1, 2)⋅4+f(3, 2)⋅4= [f(1, 0)+f(3, 0)+f(1, 2)+f(3, 2)]⋅4=[0+0+2+18]⋅4=80f(x,y)=x2 y
b. Now partition the square in Figure 2 into eight congruent rectangles with sides Δxi=2, i=1, 2, and Δyj=1, j=1, 2, 3, 4, as shown in Figure 4. The double Riemann sum, for which (uij,vij) is the lower right corner of each subrectangle, is ∑j=14∑i=12 f(uij,vij)Δxi Δyj= [f(3, 0)+f(5, 0)+f(3, 1)+f(5, 1)+f(3, 2)+f(5, 2)+f(3, 3)+f(5, 3)]⋅2⋅1= [0+0+9+25+18+50+27+75]⋅2=408
Figure 4 The square is partitioned into eight congruent subrectangles.
▪ NOW WORK Problem 5.
As Example 1 demonstrates, the double Riemann sums of a function z=f(x,y) over a region R depend both on the choice of the partition, which depends on Δxi Δyj, and on the choice of the points (uij,vij), i=1,2,…,n, j=1,2,…,m, in R. If
and
lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uij,vij)Δxi Δyj=lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uij,vij)ΔAij=I
exists and does not depend on the choice of the partition or on the choice of uij or vij, then the number I is called the double integral of z=f(x,y) over the region R and is denoted by ∬Rf(x,y) dA. DEFINITION Double Integral
Let f be a function of two variables defined on a closed rectangular region R.
Then the

∬Rf(x,y) dA=lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uij,vij)ΔAij

A proof can be found in most advanced calculus books. 2 Find the Value of a Double Integral Defined on a Closed Rectangular Region To find the value of a double integral of a function f of two variables whose domain is a closed rectangle without using Riemann sums, we need the concept of partial integration. Partial integration is the process of finding the single integral of a function f of two variables with respect to one of the variables, while treating the other variable as a constant. The symbol ∫ab f(x,y) dx means treat y as a constant and integrate f with respect to the variable x. The result is a function of y alone. Similarly, ∫cd f(x,y) dy means treat x as a constant and integrate f with respect to the variable y. This result is a function of x alone. IN WORDS Partial Integration is the reverse of partial differentiation.
EXAMPLE 2 Using Partial Integration
Use partial integration to find: a. ∫x=1x=2x3y2 dx b. ∫y=0y=4x3y2 dy Solution a. For ∫x=1x=2x3y2 dx, respect to x :
treat y as a constant and integrate with
∫x=1x=2x3y2 dx=y2 ∫x=1x=2x3 dx=y2 x44x=1x=2=y24-14=154 y2
b. For ∫y=0y=4x3y2 dy,
treat x as a constant and integrate with respect to y :
∫y=0y=4x3y2 dy=x3 ∫y=0y=4y2 dy=x3 y33y=0y=4=64x33

EXAMPLE 3 Using Partial Integration
Use partial integration to find:
a. ∫y=0y=4 ∫x=1x=2x3y2 dx dy b. ∫x=1x=2 ∫y=0y=4x3y2 dy dx Solution a. Begin by using partial integration to find the integral within the bracket. Then integrate the result with respect to y.

▪ NOW WORK Problem 29.
Integrals of the form ∫x=ax=b ∫y=cy=d f(x,y) dy dxand∫y=cy=d ∫x=ax=b f(x,y) dx dy
are called iterated integrals. In the iterated integral on the left, we first integrate the function f partially with respect to y from c to d. The result is a function of x that we then integrate with respect to x from a to b. In the iterated integral on the right, we first integrate f partially with respect to x from a to b. The result is a function of y that we then integrate with respect to y from c to d. In writing iterated integrals, we will omit the variables x and y from the upper and lower limits of integration. Then the iterated integrals in Example 3 are written as ∫04 ∫12 x3y2 dx dy and ∫12 ∫04 x3y2 dy dx. Notice that the two iterated integrals in Example 3 are equal. This is a consequence of Fubini’s Theorem, which provides a practical way to find certain double integrals. THEOREM Fubini’s Theorem
If a function z=f(x,y) is continuous on a closed rectangular region R defined by a≤x≤b and c≤y≤d, then ∬Rf(x,y) dA=∫ab ∫cd f(x,y) dy dx=∫cd ∫ab f(x,y) dx dy
Fubini’s Theorem states that an iterated integral can be integrated in either order provided the function z=f(x,y) is continuous on the closed rectangular region R. ORIGINS Guido Fubini (1879–1943) was an Italian mathematician born in Venice. His father was a mathematics teacher who encouraged Guido to study mathematics. A short man, Fubini made many contributions in diverse areas of math, earning him the nickname “the little giant.” In 1939 the anti-Semitic
policies of Mussolini caused Fubini and his family to immigrate to the United States. He accepted a position at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, and also taught at Princeton University for several years. He died in New York in 1943.

3 Find the Volume Under a Surface and over a Rectangular Region The double integral ∬Rf(x,y)dA over a rectangular region R has a geometric interpretation. If the function z=f(x,y) is nonnegative on R, then f(uij,vij) represents the height of z at the point (uij,vij), and the product f(uij,vij)Δxi Δyj equals the volume of a small, rectangular cylinder of height f(uij,vij) and a base of area Δxi Δyj as shown in Figure 5. The sum of the volumes of these small cylinders, ∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uij,vij)Δxi Δyj,
is an approximation for the volume of the solid under the graph of z=f(x,y) and over R, as illustrated in Figure 6. If f is continuous on R, then lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uij,vij)Δxi Δyj=lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uij,vij)ΔAij exists, and ∬Rf(x,y)dA can be interpreted as the volume of the solid under the graph of z=f(x,y) over the region R.

Let z=f(x,y) be a function of two variables that is continuous and nonnegative on a closed, rectangular region R. The volume V under the surface z=f(x,y) and over the region R is given by

NOTE It can be proved that this formula for volume is consistent with the formulas for volume given in Chapter 6.

14.2 The Double Integral over Nonrectangular Regions OBJECTIVES When you finish this section, you should be able to: 1 Use Fubini’s Theorem for an x
-simple region 2 Use Fubini’s Theorem for a y -simple region 3 Use properties of double integrals 4 Use double integrals to find area In Section 14.1, we defined the double integral of a function f over a closed rectangular region. Although single integrals are always integrated over an interval, for double integrals the region of integration is not always rectangular. In this section, we extend the definition of a double integral to functions defined over closed, bounded regions. RECALL A region R in the plane is closed if it contains all its boundary points. A region R can be enclosed by some circle, or equivalently, some rectangle in the plane.
is bounded if it
We begin with a function z=f(x,y) defined on a closed, bounded region R. See Figure 8(a). Then R can be enclosed by a rectangle D defined by a≤x≤b and c≤y≤d, as shown in Figure 8(b). Now partition the interval [a,b] into n subintervals of length Δxi, i=1,2,…,n, and the interval [c,d] into m subintervals of length Δyj, j=1,2,…,m, as shown in Figure 8(c). This partitions the rectangle D into mn subrectangles Dij. The norm ∥Δ∥ of this partition is defined as the largest of the lengths of the subintervals Δxi or Δyj.
Figure 8 Now we introduce a function P=P(x,y)
whose domain is the rectangular
region D.
We define P as follows:
P(x,y)=f(x,y)if(x,y) is in R0if(x,y) is in D , but not in R
In other words, P(x,y)=f(x,y) for points in D, but not in R.
for points in R,
and P(x,y)=0
Choose a point (uij,vij) in each subrectangle Dij and evaluate P(uij,vij). If Δxi Δyj is the area Aij of the subrectangle Dij, form the double Riemann sums ∑j=1m∑i=1n P(uij,vij)Δxi Δyj=∑j=1m∑i=1n P(uij,vij)ΔAij.

∬DP(x,y)dA=lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑j=1m∑i=1n P(uij,vij)Δ Aij
provided the limit exists and does not depend on the partition or on the choice of (uij,vij).
If ∬DP(x,y)dA
exists, we define the double integral of f over R as
∬Rf(x,y)dA=∬DP(x,y)dA Notice that this definition makes sense because for points (uij,vij) R, P(uij,vij)=0. So such points do not contribute to ∑j=1m∑i=1n P(uij,vij)ΔAij. f(x,y)≥0 on R.

but not in
Figure 9(a) and (b) illustrate this for
Figure 9 The limit of the double sums in (1) exists under certain conditions on the function z=f(x,y) and the boundary of the region R. Before giving a theorem which guarantees the existence of a double integral, we need the following definition. Recall that a curve C is smooth if the parametric equations x=x(t), y=y(t) defining C have derivatives dxdt and dydt that are continuous and are never simultaneously zero. If a curve C is not smooth, but consists of a finite number of smooth curves that are joined end to end, then C is a piecewise-smooth curve. NEED TO REVIEW? Smooth curves are discussed in Section 11.2, p. 809.
The next theorem, proved in most advanced calculus texts, is very similar to the theorem stated in Section 14.1 guaranteeing the existence of a double integral over a closed, rectangular region. THEOREM Existence of a Double Integral
If a function z=f(x,y)
is continuous on a closed, bounded region R whose
boundary is a piecewise-smooth curve, then ∬Rf(x,y)dA
When ∬Rf(x,y)dA

exists, we say f is integrable on R.
As before, other representations for ∬Rf(x,y)dA
are
∬Rf(x,y)dxdy and ∬Rf(x,y)dydx If z=f(x,y)≥0
on a closed, bounded region R whose boundary is a
piecewise-smooth curve, then ∬Rf(x,y)dA equals the volume of the solid under the surface z=f(x,y) and over the region R. Refer back to Figure 9. Volume Under a Surface and over a Region R
Let z=f(x,y) be a function of two variables that is continuous and nonnegative on a closed, bounded region R whose boundary is a piecewise-smooth curve. The volume V under the surface z=f(x,y) and over the region R is given by the double integral
V=∬Rf(x,y) dA Certain types of regions have boundaries that make it possible to express a double integral as an iterated integral. One such type of region is called x -simple. DEFINITION x -Simple Region
Let R be a closed, bounded region. R is an x-simple region if the boundary of R consists of two smooth curves, y=g1(x) and y=g2(x), each defined on a closed interval [a,b], where g1(x)≤g2(x) on [a,b]. The boundary may also consist of a portion of the vertical lines x=a and x=b. Figure 10 illustrates some typical x -simple regions. Notice in each case the top and bottom boundaries of R are smooth curves that can be expressed as functions of x, as the name x -simple implies. Also notice that the boundary of an x -simple region is a piecewise-smooth curve.
Figure 10 Examples of x -simple regions Fubini’s Theorem can be extended to regions that are x -simple. 1 Use Fubini’s Theorem for an x -Simple Region THEOREM Fubini’s Theorem for an x -Simple Region
If a function z=f(x,y) is continuous on a closed, bounded region R that is x simple, then the double integral of f over R is given by
∬Rf(x,y) dA=∫ab [∫g1(x)g2(x) f(x,y) dy] dx where y=g1(x)
and y=g2(x), g1(x)≤g2(x), a≤x≤b, are two smooth curves that form the boundary of R.
The proof of Fubini’s Theorem can be found in advanced calculus books. Here we give a geometric argument for Fubini’s Theorem for x -simple regions when f(x,y)≥0 is continuous on R. Suppose we choose a number xi in the closed interval [a,b] and let A(xi) equal the area of the intersection of the plane x=xi and the solid under the surface z=f(x,y) and over R. See Figure 11. Using slicing, the volume V of the solid under z=f(x,y) and over R from x=a to x=b is V=∫ab A(x) dx Since the volume V is also given by V=∬Rf(x,y) dA,
we have (2)
V= ∬Rf(x,y) dA=∫ab A(x) dx But A(xi) y=g1(xi)
is the area of the plane region under the surface z=f(xi,y) to y=g2(xi). That is,
from
A(x)=∫g1(x)g2(x) f(x,y) dy where x is held constant. By substituting ∫g1(x)g2(x) f(x,y) dy in the volume formula (2), we find
for A(x)

Solution a. We begin by graphing the region R. See Figure 12. Observe that R is a closed, bounded region. Also notice that the bottom and top boundaries of R are smooth curves expressed as functions of x : g1(x)=x2, g2(x)=x, 0≤x≤1. That is, R is x -simple. Since f(x,y)=xy is continuous on R, we can use Fubini’s Theorem. ∬Rxy dA=∫01 ∫x2x xy dy dx=∫01 x∫x2x y dy dx=∫01 x y22x2x dxIntegrate partially with respect toy.=∫01 xx-x42 dx=12 ∫01(x2-x5) dx=12 x33-x6601=112

is continuous and nonnegative on the region R,
the double

2 Use Fubini’s Theorem for a y -Simple Region Regions whose left and right boundaries consist of smooth curves expressed as functions of y are referred to as y -simple regions. DEFINITION y -Simple Region
Let R be a closed, bounded region. Then R is a y -simple region if the boundary of R consists of two smooth curves, x=h1(y) and x=h2(y), each defined on the closed interval c≤y≤d, where h1(y)≤h2(y) on c, d. The boundary may also consist of a portion of the horizontal lines y=c and y=d.
Figure 13 illustrates some typical y -simple regions.
Figure 13 Examples of y -simple regions Fubini’s Theorem also applies to closed, bounded regions that are y -simple. THEOREM Fubini’s Theorem for a y -Simple Region
If a function z=f(x,y) is continuous on a closed, bounded region R that is y simple, the double integral of f over R is given by
∬Rf(x,y) dA=∫cd ∫h1(y)h2(y) f(x,y) dx dy where x=h1(y)
and x=h2(y), h1(y)≤h2(y), c≤y≤d, are two smooth curves that form the boundary of R.
Figure 14 provides justification for Fubini’s Theorem for a y -simple region R when z=f(x,y)≥0 is continuous on R. The volume V of the solid under z=f(x,y) from y=c to y=d is given by V=∫cd A(y) dy
Figure 14 V=∫cd A(y) dy, A(y)=∫h1(y)h2(y) f(x,y) dx
Since this volume V is also given by V=∬Rf(x,y) dA,
we have
(3)
V=∬Rf(x,y) dA=∫cd A(y) dy But A(yi) x=h1(yi)
is the area of the plane region under the surface z=f(x,yi) to x=h2(yi). That is,
from
A(y)=∫h1(y)h2(y) f(x,y) dx where y is held constant. By substituting ∫h1(y)h2(y) f(x,y) dx in the volume formula (3), we find

Observe that R is a closed, bounded region that is y -simple, where h1(y)=-y and h2(y)=y, 0≤y≤1. Using Fubini’s Theorem for a y -simple region, we have ∬R3x2y dA=∫01 ∫-yy3x2y dx dy=∫01 y ∫-yy3x2 dx dy=∫01 yx3 yy dy=∫01 y(y3/2+y3) dy=∫01(y5/2+y4) dy=y7/27/2+y5501=27+15=1735

When the region R is both x -simple and y -simple, we can choose the order of integration. In some cases, integration in one order uses simpler techniques than the techniques needed to integrate in the opposite order. EXAMPLE 3 Finding a Double Integral over a Region That Is Both x -Simple and y -Simple
Find ∬R ey2 dA,
where R is the region shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16 The region R is both x -simple and y -simple. Solution The region R is both x -simple and y -simple. If we treat R as x -simple, then the bottom boundary of R is y=2x, boundary is y=2, and x varies from 0 to 1. Then by Fubini’s Theorem,
the top
∬R ey2 dA=∫01 ∫2x2 ey2 dy dx Since the integral ∫ey2 dx
cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions, we
cannot find ∫2x2 ey2 dy using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. So, we treat the region R as y -simple. Then the left boundary of R is x=0, the right boundary is x=y2,
and y varies from 0 to 2. Then by Fubini’s Theorem,
∬R ey2 dA=∫02 ∫0y/2 ey2 dx dy=∫02 ey2∫0y/2 dx dy=∫02 ey2 x 0y/2 dy=∫02 y2 ey2 dy=12 ∫02 y ey2 dy=12 ey2202=14(e4-1)

Figure 18(a) shows the portion of the solid lying in the first octant. If we find the volume of this portion of the solid, then since the volume in each octant is the same, the volume V is eight times the volume in the first octant. That is, if

▪ NOW WORK Problem 47.
The third property of double integrals is useful when the closed, bounded region R is neither x -simple nor y -simple. In such cases, it may be possible to partition R into subregions, each of which is x -simple or y -simple. Figure 19 illustrates how this can be done.
Figure 19 In Figure 19(a), R is neither x -simple nor y -simple. It is not x -simple because of the corner at the point P. It is not y -simple because of the corners at Q1 and Q2. However, by drawing a vertical line through P, we partition R into two nonoverlapping subregions R1 and R2, each of which is x -simple. In Figure 19(b), the region R is neither x -simple nor y -simple. However, by drawing a vertical line that passes through the corner P of the left boundary, we partition R into three nonoverlapping subregions R1, R2, and R3, each of which is x simple. EXAMPLE 7 Using Properties of Double Integrals
Find ∬R x2y dA, x+2,
where R is the region enclosed by the lines y=x, y=x+2, y= and y=-x+4.
Solution Begin by graphing the region R as shown in Figure 20(a). Observe that R is a closed, bounded region, but it is neither x -simple nor y -simple. It is not x -simple because of the corners at (1, 3) and (1, 1). It is not y -simple because of the corners at (0, 2) and (2, 2). But we can partition R into two subregions R1 and R2, both of which are x -simple, by drawing a vertical line from (1, 3) to (1, 1). See Figure 20(b). The subregion R1 is x -simple with g1(x)=-x+2 ; g2(x)=x+2, 0≤x≤1. The subregion R2 is x simple with h1(x)=x ; h2(x)=-x+4, 1≤x≤2.

4 Use Double Integrals to Find Area Double integrals can be used to find the area of a closed, bounded region R. To find area using a double integral, let f(x,y)=1 and use the theorem for finding the volume under a surface. The volume under the surface f(x,y)=1 and over the region R is numerically equal to the area of the region R. That is, Area of the region R=∬RdA EXAMPLE 8 Using a Double Integral to Find the Area of a Region
Use a double integral to find the area A of the region R in the first quadrant enclosed by the parabola y=6x-x2 and the line y=4x-8. Solution The graph of the region R is shaded tan in Figure 21. Notice that R is neither x -simple nor y -simple. It is not x -simple because of the corner at (2, 0) ; it is not y -simple because of the corner at (4, 8). If we partition R by drawing a vertical line through the point (2, 0), we obtain two x -simple subregions R1 and R2.

14.5 Surface Area OBJECTIVE When you finish this section, you should be able to: 1 Find the area of a surface that lies above a region R
So far we have used a double integral to find the volume under a surface z=f(x,y)≥0 and above a closed, bounded region R of the xy -plane. In this section, we use a double integral to find the surface area of z=f(x,y)≥0 above a closed, bounded region R whose boundary is a piecewise-smooth curve. In developing the formula for surface area, we use tangent planes to approximate surface area. 1 Find the Area of a Surface That Lies Above a Region R We begin with the simple case where the surface is a plane z=ax+by+c and the region R is a rectangle with sides of lengths Δx and Δy. The surface area Sp is the area of the part of the plane that lies above the rectangle, in this case, a parallelogram, as shown in Figure 35. Notice that this parallelogram is the intersection of the plane and the cylinder formed by projecting the perimeter of the rectangle with sides Δx and Δy vertically upward.
Figure 35 The adjacent sides of the parallelogram are given by the vectors u and v. Both u
and v have the same initial point (x0, y0, ax0+by0+c) on the parallelogram. The terminal point of u is (x0+Δx, y0, a(x0+Δx)+by0+c) and the terminal point of v is (x0, y0+Δy, ax0+b(y0+Δy)+c). So, u and v are given by u=Δxi+aΔxk,v=Δyj+bΔyk The area of the parallelogram is ∥u×v∥=Δx(i+ak)×Δy(j+bk)=(i+ak)×(j+bk) Δx Δy=-ai-bj+k Δx Δy=a2+b2+1Δx Δy
NEED TO REVIEW? Vectors are discussed in Section 10.2, pp. 738–741, and properties of the cross product are discussed in Section 10.5, pp. 764–769.
Let R be a closed rectangular region in the xy -plane with sides of length Δx and Δy. If the perimeter of R is projected upward parallel to the z -axis, the result is a cylinder. Let Sp denote the area cut from the plane z=ax+by+c by this (1) cylinder. Then the area Sp is given by Sp=a2+b2+1Δx Δy We now develop a formula for the surface area of the graph of a nonnegative function z=f(x,y) that is defined over a closed, rectangular region R. We assume that f has first-order partial derivatives that are continuous at every point of the region R. See Figure 36(a). Using lines parallel to the x - and y -axes, we partition R into subrectangles and consider the subrectangle Rij,i=1,2,…,n, j=1,2,…,m having area Aij=Δxi Δyj. Now select a point (uij,vij) in Rij and construct the tangent plane to the surface at the corresponding point Pij=(uij,vij,f(uij,vij)) on the surface. See Figure 36(b). The equation of this tangent plane can be written as (2) z=fx(uij,vij)(x-uij)+fy(uij,vij)(y-vij)+f(uij,vij)
Figure 36 The sides of the rectangle Rij, when they are projected upward parallel to the z axis, result in a cylinder. Let ΔSij denote the area cut from the tangent plane at the point Pij by the cylinder. Then ΔSij is an approximation to the surface area of the part of the surface that lies above the rectangle Rij. By adding all the areas ΔSij and taking the limit of the sums as the norm ∥Δ∥ of the partition approaches 0, we obtain the (3) surface area S of the part of the surface z=f(x,y) that lies above the region R.
S=lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑j=1m∑i=1n ΔSij To obtain a formula for ΔSij, the surface at the point Pij,
we combine (2), the equation of the tangent plane to
z=fx(uij,vij)(x-uij)+fy(uij,vij)(y-vij)+f(uij,vij)Equation (2)
and formula (1) for the surface area Sp Sp=a2+b2+1 Δx ΔyFormula (1) The result is ΔSij=[fx(uij,vij)]2+[fy(uij,vij)]2+1 ΔAij
of a plane z=ax+by+c
Now substitute this expression for ΔSij into (3) to obtain the surface area S of the part of the surface that lies above the region R. Then S=lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑j=1m∑i=1n[fx(uij,vij)]2+[fy(uij,vij)]2+1 Δxi Δyj

S=∬Rfx(x,y)2+fy(x,y)2+1 dA It can be shown that the surface area S of the graph of a nonnegative function z=f(x,y) over a closed, bounded region R whose boundary is a piecewise-smooth curve can be found using a double integral provided the partial derivatives fx and fy are continuous on R. Surface Area Above a Region R Let z=f(x,y) be a function of two variables defined on a closed, bounded region R whose boundary is a piecewise-smooth curve. If fx and fy are continuous on R, then the surface area S of the part of the surface that lies above R is given by
S=∬R[fx(x,y)]2+[fy(x,y)]2+1 dA

Since fx and fy are continuous on R,
the surface area S above R is

EXAMPLE 2 Finding Surface Area
Find the surface area of the part of the paraboloid z=f(x,y)=1-x2-y2 that lies above the xy -plane. Solution Figure 38 shows the part of the surface z=1-x2-y2 that lies above the xy -plane and its projection onto the xy -plane, the region R enclosed by the circle x2+y2=1. We begin by finding the partial derivatives of z=f(x,y). fx(x,y)=-2xfy(x,y)=-2y Since fx and fy are continuous on R, paraboloid z=f(x,y)=1-x2-y2
the surface area S of the part of the that lies above R is
S=∬R[fx(x,y)]2+[fy(x,y)]2+1 dA=∬R(-2x)2+(-2y)2+1 dA=∬R4(x2+y2)+1 dA
Since both the region R (a circle) and the integrand involve x2+y2, we use polar coordinates (r,θ). For the region R, we have 0≤r≤1 and 0≤θ≤2π. Then S=∬R4(x2+y2)+1 dA=∫02π ∫014r2+1r dr dθx2+y2=r2d A=r dr dθ=∫02π 112(4r2+1)3/2 01 dθLet u=4r2+1, then du=8r dr.=1 1)∫02π dθ=112(55-1)2π=π6(55-1)

are
fx(x,y)=-xa2-x2-y2fy(x,y)=-ya2-x2-y2
The projection of the cylinder onto the xy -plane is the region R enclosed by the circle x2+y2=ax, a>0. Then the surface area S is S=∬Rx2a2-x2-y2+y2a2-x2-y2+1 dA=∬Ra2a2-x2-y2 dA
Since the integrand involves the expression x2+y2 and the boundary of R is the circle x2+y2=ax, we use polar coordinates (r,θ). We begin by finding the limits of integration. Since
x2+y2=axr2=ar cos θr=a cos θ we find that r varies from 0 to a cos θ.

14.6 The Triple Integral OBJECTIVES When you finish this section, you should be able to: 1 Find a triple integral of a function defined in a closed box 2 Find a triple integral of a function defined in a more general solid 3 Find the volume of a solid 4 Find the mass, center of mass, and moments of inertia of a solid 5 Find a triple integral of a function defined in an xz
-simple or a yz -
simple solid Just as single integrals are used to integrate over closed intervals [a,b], and double integrals are used to integrate over two-dimensional, closed, bounded regions R, triple integrals are used to integrate over three-dimensional, closed, bounded solids E. For example, we have seen that if ρ=ρ(x) is the mass density of a long, thin wire, then the single integral ∫ab ρ(x) dx models the mass of the wire from a to b. Also if ρ=ρ(x,y) is the mass density of a lamina, then the double integral ∬Rρ(x,y) dA models the mass M of the lamina over R. Similarly, a triple integral can be used to find the mass of a solid with mass density ρ=ρ(x,y,z). We begin with a function f of three variables defined in a box-shaped region E of three-dimensional space. Partition E into smaller rectangular boxes Eijk, i=1,2,…,n, j=1,2, …,m, and k=1,2,…,l, by drawing planes parallel to the three coordinate planes. See Figure 40.
Figure 40 The norm of the partition, denoted by ∥Δ∥, is defined as the largest of the lengths of the sides of the boxes Eijk. If Δxi, Δyj, and Δzk denote the length, width, and height, respectively, of the ijk th box, then its volume is ΔVijk=Δxi Δyj Δzk. In each box Eijk we arbitrarily select a point (uijk,vijk,wijk), evaluate f(uijk,vijk,wijk), multiply f(uijk,vijk,wijk) by Δxi Δyj Δzk, and form the sums
∑k=1l∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uijk,vijk,wijk)Δxi Δyj Δzk Sums of this form are referred to as triple Riemann sums of f for the partition. If lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑k=1l∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uijk,vijk,wijk)Δxi Δyj Δzk=lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑k=1l∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uijk,vijk,wijk)ΔVijk
exists and does not depend on the choice of the partition or on the choice of (uijk,vijk,wijk), then this limit is called the triple integral of f over E. DEFINITION Triple Integral
Let f be a function of three variables defined in a closed, bounded, box-shaped solid E. The triple integral of f over E is defined as ∭Ef(x,y,z) dV=lim∥Δ∥→0 ∑k=1l∑j=1m∑i=1n f(uijk,vijk,wijk)ΔVijk
provided the limit exists. As with single integrals and double integrals, it can be shown that if f is continuous in E,
then ∭Ef(x,y,z) dV exists. There are six different orders of integration for the triple integral of f in E.
They are
∭Ef(x,y,z) dx dy dz∭Ef(x,y,z) dx dz dy∭Ef(x,y,z) dy dx dz∭Ef(x,y,z) dy dz dx∭ Ef(x,y,z) dz dx dy∭Ef(x,y,z) dz dy dx
Fubini’s Theorem for triple integrals defined in a closed box-shaped solid E,
uses iterated
integrals to find ∭Ef(x,y,z)dV. THEOREM Fubini’s Theorem for Triple Integrals
Let f be a function of three variables defined in the closed box E, x1≤x≤x2, y1≤y≤y2, and z1≤z≤z2. continuous in E, then
where If f is
∭Ef(x,y,z) dV=∫x1x2 ∫y1y2 ∫z1z2 f(x,y,z) dz dy dx
The iterated integral on the right is shown first with respect to z, then y, and finally x. To find ∫z1z2 f(x,y,z) dz, we treat x and y as constants and integrate partially with respect to z. As is the case with iterated double integrals, the braces and brackets are usually omitted.
There are actually six different forms of Fubini’s Theorem for Triple Integrals. Here we state the theorem in the order dz dy dx. But the same result is obtained no matter what order is used. 1 Find a Triple Integral of a Function Defined in a Closed Box EXAMPLE 1 Finding a Triple Integral of a Function Defined in a Closed Box

b. Find ∭E4x yz dV.

If we use Fubini’s Theorem in the order dx dy dz, then the limits of integration from left to right are 0≤z≤3, 0≤y≤2, 0≤x≤1, and the iterated integral is ∭E4xyz dV=∫03 ∫02 ∫014xyz dx dy dz=∫03 ∫02 ∫014x dx y dy z dz
Notice how the integrals are nested: ∫014x dx
is on the inside, ∫02…y dy
is in the middle, and ∫03…z dz is on the outside. Using Fubini’s Theorem in the order dy dx dz, the limits of integration from left to right are 0≤z≤3, 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤2 and the iterated integral is ∭E4x yz dV=∫03 ∫01∫024x yz dy dx dz=∫03 ∫01 ∫024y dy x dx z dz

2 Find a Triple Integral of a Function Defined in a More General Solid Consider a solid E in space enclosed on the top by a surface z=z2(x,y) and on the bottom by a surface z=z1(x,y), where z1≤z2. The sides of E are a cylinder whose intersection with the xy -plane forms a closed, bounded region R whose boundary is a piecewise-smooth curve. Also the functions z1 and z2 are continuous on R. See Figure 42. Since the projection of E onto the xy -plane results in a closed, bounded region R, and E lies between the two surfaces z1 and z2, the solid E is called xy -simple. The next theorem, which we do not prove, provides a way to find triple integrals defined over solids that are xy -simple.

-simple solid.
THEOREM Triple Integral over an xy
-Simple Solid
Let E be an xy -simple solid that lies between the two surfaces z=z1(x,y) and z=z2(x,y), where z1≤z2, and whose projection onto the xy plane is a closed, bounded region R whose boundary is a piecewise-smooth curve. If f is a function of three variables that is continuous in E, then ∭Ef(x,y,z) dV=∬R∫z1(x,y)z2(x,y) f(x,y,z) dz dA
If the region R is x -simple, and R is enclosed by y=y1(x) where y1≤y2 and a≤x≤b, then ∭Ef(x,y,z) dV= ∬R ∫z1(x,y)z2(x,y) f(x,y,z) dz dA=∫ab ∫y1(x)y2(x) ∫z1(x,y)z2(x,y) f(x,y,z) dz dy dx
and y=y2(x),
If the region R is y -simple, and R is enclosed by x=x1(y) where x1≤x2 and c≤y≤d, then

Solution The solid E is shown in Figure 43(a). A typical plane section of E using a plane perpendicular to the x -axis reveals that the upper surface is z=z2(x,y)=14(12-2x-3y) and the lower surface is z=z1(x,y)=0. The solid E lies between the two surfaces z1 and z2 and the projection of E onto the xy -plane is a closed, bounded region R on which z1 and z2 are continuous. So E is xy -simple. The region R in the xy -plane is the triangle enclosed by the x -axis, the y -axis, and the line y=13(12-2x)=4-2x3, as shown in Figure 43(b). The triangle R is both x -simple and y -simple. If we treat R as an x -simple region, so that R is bounded by y1(x)=0, y2(x)=4-2x3, we have

The region R in the xy -plane is enclosed by the x -axis, the y -axis, and part of the ellipse 4x2+y2=16, x≥0, y≥0, and z1 and z2 are continuous on R. So E is xy -simple.

14.7 Triple Integrals Using Cylindrical Coordinates OBJECTIVES When you finish this section, you should be able to: 1 Convert rectangular coordinates to cylindrical coordinates 2 Find a triple integral using cylindrical coordinates
We have seen that there are instances where it is easier to find a double integral using polar coordinates than to find it using rectangular coordinates. For triple integrals, we give two alternatives to integration in rectangular coordinates: One uses cylindrical coordinates and the other uses spherical coordinates (Section 14.8). 1 Convert Rectangular Coordinates to Cylindrical Coordinates If the rectangular coordinates of a point P in three-dimensional space are (x,y,z) and if (r,θ,0) are the polar coordinates for the projection of P onto the xy -plane, then the point P can be located by the ordered triple (r,θ,z), called the cylindrical coordinates of the point P. Figure 50 shows how to graph a point P=(r,θ,z). The algebraic relationship between the cylindrical coordinates (r,θ,z) and the rectangular coordinates (x,y,z) of a point P is given by the formulas x=r cos θy=r sin θz=z

Some first-order differential equations are not separable, but can be made separable by a change of variable. This is true for differential equations of the form dydx=f(x,y),
where f is a homogeneous function. 2 Identify a Homogeneous Function of Degree k DEFINITION Homogeneous Function of Degree k
A function f(x,y) is said to be a homogeneous function of degree k in x and y if, and only if, for t>0, f(tx,ty)=tk f(x,y) for some real number k.
EXAMPLE 2 Identifying a Homogeneous Function of Degree k
a. f(x,y)=3x2-xy+y2

f(tx,ty)=3(tx)2-(tx)(ty)+(ty)2=t23x2-t2xy+t2y2=t2(3x2-xy+y2)=t2 f(x,y)for all t>0
b. f(x,y)=x+4y

since
f(tx,ty)=tx+4(ty)=t(x+4y)=t x+4y=t1⁄2 f(x,y)for all t>0
c. f(x,y)=xx2-y2

3 Use a Change of Variables to Solve a Homogeneous First-Order Differential Equation DEFINITION Homogeneous First-Order Differential Equation
A first-order differential equation of the form M(x,y) dx+N(x,y) dy=0 is said to be homogeneous if M degree.
and N are homogeneous functions of the same
NOTE The word “homogeneous” is used in two different ways: to describe a property of a function and to identify a certain type of first-order differential equation. Context will make it clear which meaning applies.
To solve first-order homogeneous differential equations, we use the following change of variables theorem. THEOREM Change of Variables for Homogeneous First-Order Differential Equations
If M(x,y) dx+N(x,y) dy=0 is a homogeneous first-order differential equation, then it can be transformed into a first-order differential equation whose variables are separable by using the substitution y=x v(x) where v=v(x)
is a differentiable function of x.
NOTE For simplicity of notation, we usually write v instead of v(x).
Proof If M(x,y) dx+N(x,y) dy=0 differential equation, use the substitution y=xv, differentiable function of x. Then dy=x dv+v dx
is a homogeneous first-order where v=v(x) is a and
M(x,y) dx+N(x,y) dy=M(x,xv) dx+N(x,xv)(x dv+v dx)=0 Since M and N are each homogeneous functions of degree k, it follows that for some number k
xk M(1,v) dx+xk N(1,v)(x dv+v dx)=0M(x,xv)=xk M(1,v), N(x,xv)=xk N(1,v)xkM(1,v) dx+N(1,v) (x dv+v dx)=0M(1,v) dx+N(1,v) x dv+N(1,v) v dx=0Divide out xk. [M(1,v)+vN(1,v)]dx+N(1,v) x dv=0dxx+N(1,v)M(1,v)+vN(1,v) dv=0
provided neither denominator is 0. This first-order differential equation is separable.

Steps for Solving a Homogeneous First-Order Differential Equation M(x,y) dx+N(x,y) dy=0
Step 1 Confirm that the functions M degree.

Step 2 Let y=xv. Substitute for y and dy=x dv+v dx. Step 3 Express the new equation in differential form. The variables will be separable. Step 4 Integrate to obtain the general solution and replace v by yx.

4 Find Orthogonal Trajectories Consider the one-parameter family of circles (x-1)2+(y-2)2=CC>0 with center at the point (1,2) and radius C. Figure 1 shows some members of this family of circles. If the equation describing the circles is differentiated with respect to x, we obtain
(1) 2(x-1)+2(y-2)y′=0y′=-x-1y-2
which represents the differential equation of the family of circles.
Figure 1 (x-1)2+(y-2)2=C, For a specific point (x,y), y≠2,
C>0 on any one of the circles, the differential
equation y′=-x-1y-2 gives the slope of the tangent line to the circle at the point (x,y). Now consider another example. The family of nonvertical lines passing through the point (1,2) satisfies the equation y-2=m(x-1) where m is the slope of a particular member of the family of lines. The differential equation for this family of lines is
(2) y′=m=y-2x-1
Figure 2 shows some members of this family of lines.
Figure 2 y-2=m(x-1) If we compare the differential equations (1) and (2), we see that the right side of (1) is the negative reciprocal of the right side of (2). From this, we conclude that if (x,y) is a point of intersection of one of the circles and one of the lines from each family, then the line and the circle are perpendicular (orthogonal) to each other at the point of intersection. Each line in the family y-2=m(x-1) is an orthogonal trajectory of the family of circles, and conversely, each circle in the family (x-1)2+(y-2)2=C is an orthogonal trajectory of the family of lines. In general, if F(x,y,C)=0 and G(x,y,K)=0 are oneparameter families of curves, in which each member of one family intersects the members of
the other family at a right angle, then the two families are said to be orthogonal trajectories of each other. Orthogonal trajectories occur naturally. For example, iron filings sprinkled on a pane of glass over a bar magnet arrange themselves along a family of curved lines, indicating the direction of magnetic force. A family of orthogonal trajectories can be determined by locating all the points in the plane of the glass with the same potential energy.
To find a family G(x,y,K)=0 of orthogonal trajectories for a given family F(x,y,C)=0, we use the steps below: Steps for Finding a Family of Orthogonal Trajectories
Step 1 Find the differential equation for the given family. Step 2 Replace y′ in this differential equation by -1y′; the resulting equation is the differential equation for the family of orthogonal trajectories. Step 3 Find the solution of the differential equation for the family of orthogonal trajectories obtained in Step 2.
EXAMPLE 5 Finding a Family of Orthogonal Trajectories

5 Use a Slope Field to Represent the Solution of a First-Order Differential Equation In a first-order differential equation dydx=f(x,y), the function f is continuous on its domain, a set of points in the xy -plane. At each point (x0,y0) in the domain of f, we can evaluate f(x0,y0) and determine dydx=f(x0,y0), the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the solution to the differential equation at (x0,y0). If we draw small line segments representing these tangent lines at every point in the
domain of f, the resulting display, called a slope field, gives a picture of the family of curves that make up the solution of the differential equation.
EXAMPLE 6 Using a Slope Field to Represent the Solution of dydx=y
a. Use a slope field to represent the solution of the differential equation dydx=y. b. Use the slope field representation to draw some graphs of the family of solutions of the differential equation. Solution a. Since dydx=y does not depend on x, the derivatives dydx at all points of the form (x,y0) will be equal. For example, at all points (x,2) , the slopes of the tangent lines to the graphs of the solution to the differential equation will equal 2. Since the points (x,2) all lie on the horizontal line y=2, the slope field along y=2 will consist of parallel tangent lines with slope 2. See Figure 5(a). Similarly, along the horizontal line y=1, the slope field will consist of parallel tangent lines with slope 1; along y=-1, the slope field consists of parallel tangent lines with slope -1. Figure 5(b) illustrates a slope field of the differential equation dydx=y. b. Pick a point in the xy -plane, say (0,2) . Going left and then right from this point, follow the tangent lines and insert a smooth curve. Repeat this process using other points. See Figure 5(c), which shows four of the graphs of the family of solutions.

EXAMPLE 7 Analyzing a Slope Field
Which of the following differential equations could have the slope field shown in Figure 6? a. dydx=-x b. dydx=x+y c. dydx=x d. dydx=x-y
Figure 6 Solution The tangent lines that lie on a vertical line all have the same slope. That is, for a fixed number x, the slopes dydx
of the tangent lines to the graphs of the solutions of
the differential equation are the same. This means dydx does not depend on y, so the differential equation does not contain y and choices (b) and (d) can be eliminated. Points in quadrants II and III give rise to negative slopes and points in quadrants I and IV give rise to positive slopes. The differential equation in (c) is the only choice that satisfies these conditions.

6 Use Euler’s Method to Approximate a Particular Solution of a First-Order Differential Equation Euler’s method is a numerical algorithm for approximating a particular solution y=y(x) of a first-order differential equation dydx=f(x,y) with the boundary condition y=y0 when x=x0. It begins with the boundary condition (x0,y0) and a small arbitrary increment h in x. The first approximation to y=y(x) is given by y1=y0+hf(x0,y0) The second approximation uses y1 from the first approximation and x1=x0+h. Then y2=y1+hf(x1,y1)x1=x0+h Each successive approximation follows the same pattern. The third approximation uses y2 and x2=x0+2h, and so on. y3=y2+hf(x2,y2)x2=x1+h=x0+2hy4=y3+hf(x3,y3)x3=x2+h=x0+3h⋮yn=yn-1+hf(xn-1,yn-

Suppose y=y(x)
is the solution to the differential equation
dydx=xy+x2 with the boundary condition y=2 y(1.75) using h=0.25
when x=1. Use Euler’s method to approximate as the increment.
Solution Begin the first approximation with the boundary condition x0=1, and the increment h=0.25. Then x1=x0+h=1.25 y(x1)=y(1.25)≈y1=y0+hf(x0,y0) =2+0.25(1⋅2+12)f(x,y)=xy+x2=2.75
For the second approximation, we use x1=1.25 Then x2=x1+0.25=1.5, and
and y1=2.75.
y(x2)=y(1.5)≈y2=y1+hf(x1,y1)=2.75+0.25[(1.25)(2.75)+1.252]=4
and y0=2 and
For the third approximation y3, x3=x2+0.25=1.75,
we use x2=1.5 and
and y2=4.
Then

Application: Logistic Functions In the mid-nineteenth century, the Belgian mathematical biologist Pierre F. Verhulst (18041849) used the differential equation
dydt=ky(M-y) where k and M are positive constants, to predict the human population of various countries. Verhulst referred to the model as logistic growth. Because of this, the equation is known as the logistic differential equation and its solutions are called logistic functions. Rewrite the logistic differential equation as
dydt=kMy-ky2 where the first term on the right side, kMy, is a growth term and the second term, ky2, is an “inhibition” or “competition” term that impedes growth. The logistic differential equation dydt=kMy-ky2 differential equation:
is a Bernoulli
dydt-kMy=-ky2 where P(t)=-kM, Q(t)=-k, steps for solving a Bernoulli equation. Step 1 Multiply by y-n=y-2. y-2 dydt-kM y-1=-k

16.5 Power Series Methods OBJECTIVES When you finish this section, you should be able to: 1 Use power series to solve a linear differential equation
Up to now, we have concentrated on first-order differential equations for which exact solutions could be found. But many first-order differential equations lead to integrals that cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions. Moreover, most higher-order differential equations cannot be solved exactly. For these reasons, considerable emphasis is placed on methods for approximating solutions of differential equations. One such method, power series, is introduced here. 1 Use Power Series to Solve a Linear Differential Equation Power series methods assume that a solution y=y(x) equation has a power series expansion of the form
of a given differential
y=y(x)=∑k=0∞ak xk A power series method consists of finding power series for the terms in the differential equation, as well as the power series for y, y′, y″, and so on. These power series expansions are substituted into the differential equation to obtain relationships among the coefficients. NEED TO REVIEW? Power series are discussed in Section 8.8, pp. 640–650.
We begin with a simple example to outline the basic idea. EXAMPLE 1 Using Power Series to Solve a Linear Differential Equation
Use power series to solve the differential equation y′=y. Solution Assume that the solution of the differential equation can be expressed as the power series
(1) y(x)=∑k=0∞ak xk
Then
y′(x)=∑k=0∞k ak xk-1 Since y′=y,
this leads to
∑k=1∞k ak xk-1=∑k=0∞ak xk To obtain relationships among the coefficients, we write out the terms. a1 x0+2a2x+3a3x2+4a4x3+⋯=a0x0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+⋯ Because the coefficients of corresponding powers of x are equal, we have a1=a02a2=a13a3=a24a4=a3…nan=an-1… Now express these relationships recursively. a1=a0a2=12 a1=12! a0a3=13 a2=13⋅2 a0=13! a0a4=14 a3=14! a0…an=1n an-1=1n! a0⋯
The power series (1) takes the form y(x)=∑k=0∞akxk=∑k=0∞1k! a0xk=a0 ∑k=0∞xkk!
which is y(x)=a0ex.

NOW WORK Problem 1.
RECALL As we learned in Section 8.9, ex=∑k=0∞xkk!.
Although this example led to a power series solution we recognized, most solutions will not. The next examples illustrate typical power series solutions.
EXAMPLE 2 Using Power Series to Solve a Linear Differential Equation
Use power series to solve the differential equation y′-2y=e-x. Solution Assume that a solution y=y(x) expressed as the power series y(x)=∑k=0∞ak xk.
of the differential equation can be Then y′(x)=
∑k=0∞k ak xk-1. Since e-x=∑k=0∞(-1)kk! xk, differential equation can be written as
the
(2)
To obtain relationships among the coefficients, write out the terms of the power series. a1+2a2x+3a3x2+4a4x3+5a5x4+⋯-2a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+a4x4+⋯=1-x+12!x213!x3+14!x4+⋯
Now combine the coefficients of corresponding powers of x to get (a1-2a0)+(2a2-2a1) x+(3a3-2a2)x2+(4a4-2a3)x3+⋯=1-x+12! x2-13! x3+14! x4-⋯
Since the coefficients of corresponding powers of x are equal, we have a1-2a0=1or equivalently,a1=2a0+12a2-2a1=-1or equivalently,a2=2a1-12=22a0+112=2a0+123a3-2a2=12!or equivalently,a3=2a2+12!3=232a0+12+13⋅2!=43 a0+33!4a42a3=-13!or equivalently,a4=2a3-13!4=12 a3-14!=1243 a0+33!-14!=23 a0+54!5a52a4=14!or equivalently,a5=2a4+14!5=25 a4+15!=2523 a0+54!+15!=415 a0+115!
This recursive formula (n+1)an+1=2an+(-1)n 1(n)! used to find an in terms of a0, as we did for a1, a2, a3, a4, The power series representation of the general solution of the equation is
can be and a5.
y(x)= ∑k=0∞ ak xk=a0+ (2a0+1) x+2a0+12!x2+43 a0+33!x3+23 a0+54!x4+415 a0+115!x5+⋯=a01+2x+2x2+43 x3+2 +x+12! x2+33! x3+54! x4+115! x5+⋯

where a0 is arbitrary.
There is a more direct method for obtaining the recursion formula in Example 2. If we change the index of summation from k to k+1 in the first power series on the left side of Equation (2) and distribute the -2 inside the second power series, we have
∑k=0∞(k+1)ak+1 xk+∑k=0∞(-2)ak xk=∑k=0∞(-1)kk! xk
Now add the two series on the left.
∑k=0∞[(k+1)ak+1-2ak]xk=∑k=0n(-1)kk! xk
Then (n+1)an+1-2an=(-1)nn!,
as before.
EXAMPLE 3 Using Power Series to Solve a Linear Differential Equation
Use power series to find the general solution of the linear differential equation y″+xy′+2y=0
Solution If y(x)=∑k=0∞ak xk then
is a solution to the differential equation,
y′(x)=∑k=1∞k ak xk-1andy″(x)=∑k=2∞k(k-1)ak xk-2
Now substitute these power series into the differential equation. ∑k=2∞k(k-1)akxk-2+x∑k=1∞kakxk-1+2∑k=0∞akxk=0y″+x y′+2y=0∑k=2∞k(k-1)akxk2+∑k=1∞kakxk+∑k=0∞2akxk=0Move x and 2 into the summation.
Next adjust the indexes of summation so that xk appears in each series. Here, only the first series needs modification. If we replace k with k+2 in the first series, we obtain
The index in the first and third series begins at k=0, and the index in the second series begins at k=1. By writing the k=0 term of the first and third series separately, each summation starts at k=1.
Equating the coefficients of corresponding powers of x (the coefficients on the right side are all 0), we have 2a2+2a0=0(n+2)(n+1)an+2+(n+2)an=0a2=-a0an+2=-an(n+1)n=1,2,3,…
If n=1, we find a3=-a12. Then we use the recursion formula on the left to obtain all of the coefficients in terms of a0 and a1. That is, a2=-a0a4=-a23=a03a6=-a45=-a03⋅5a8=-a67=a03⋅5⋅7a3=-a12a5=-a34=a12⋅4a7=-a56=a12⋅4⋅6
and so on. Since a0 and a1 can be chosen arbitrarily, the power series representation for the general solution is y(x)=a01-x2+x43-x63⋅5+x83⋅5⋅7-⋯+a1x-x32+x52⋅4-x72⋅4⋅6+⋯
▪ NOW WORK Problem 7.
A second type of series solution method involves a differential equation with initial conditions and makes use of a Maclaurin series.
NEED TO REVIEW? Maclaurin series are discussed in Section 8.9, pp. 654–660.
EXAMPLE 4 Using a Maclaurin Series to Solve a Linear Differential Equation
(3)
a. Use a Maclaurin series to find the solution of y″=x2 y+ex y′ given the initial conditions y(0)=1
and y′(0)=1.
b. Use the first five terms of the series to approximate values of y=y(x) 0≤x≤1. c. Use a numeric differential equation solver with 10,000
for
equally spaced numbers in
the interval [0,1] to solve the differential equation in (a). Then construct a table showing the values of y for x=0,0.1,0.2,…,0.9,1. Solution a. We assume that the solution of the differential equation is given by the Maclaurin series y(x)=∑k=0∞y(k)(0)k! xn=y(0)+y′(0) x+y″(0)2! x2+y‴(0)3! x3+⋯
Substitute the initial conditions, y(0)=1
and y′(0)=1,
into (3). Then
y″(0)=02⋅1+e0⋅1=1x=0;y(0)=1;y′(0)=1;y″(x)=x2 y+ex y′
Now differentiate y″=x2 y+ex y′
with respect to x to find y‴(0).
y‴(x)=(x2 y′+2xy)+(ex y″+ex y′)y‴(0)=(02⋅1+2⋅0⋅1)+(e0⋅1+e0⋅1)=2
Continue differentiating and evaluating the derivative at x=0. y(4)(x)=x2 y″+4xy′+2y+ex y‴+2ex y″+ex y′y(4)(0)=02⋅1+4⋅0⋅1+2⋅1+e0⋅2+2⋅e0⋅1+e0⋅1=7
and so on. The Maclaurin series then becomes y(x)=1+x+12! x2+23! x3+74! x4+⋯
b. We construct Table 1 that uses the first five terms of the series to approximate select values of y in the interval 0≤x≤1. c. Using every thousandth term from the numeric solution, we construct Table 2. From the results of Tables 1 and 2, we can see how the five-term approximation to the series solution of the differential equation deteriorates as we move away from the center of

25. Age of the Earth’s Crust. Uranium has a half-life of 4.5×109 years. The decomposition sequence is very complicated, producing a very large number of intermediate radioactive products, but the final product is an isotope of lead with an atomic weight of 206, called uranium lead. a. Assuming that the change from uranium to lead is direct, show that u=u0 e-kt, l=u0(1-e-kt), where u and l denote the number of uranium and uranium lead atoms, respectively, present at time t. That is, assume dudt=-ku,
where k>0

We can measure the ratio r=lu in a rock, and if it is assumed that all the uranium lead came from decomposition of the uranium originally present in the rock, we can obtain a lower bound for the age of Earth’s crust.

CHAPTER 16 PROJECT The Melting Arctic Ice Cap
In this project, we study the changes in the thickness of sea ice that forms in the Arctic Ocean. There are many factors that affect the behavior of sea ice: abiotic factors such as temperature, both that of the underlying water and air; wind, sea currents, and the motion of the Earth, and biotic factors such as plant and animal life. We examine only one factor: temperature. We begin with a principle of thermodynamics: The direction of heat transfer is from a warmer to a cooler medium. Fourier’s Law of Conduction states that the rate of heat flow dQdt through a homogeneous solid is directly proportional to the area A of the solid orthogonal to the direction of the heat flow, and to the change ΔT in the temperature T, and is inversely proportional to the thickness x of the solid. See Figure 10. The constant of proportionality k depends on the homogeneous solid and is called the thermal conductivity of the solid.
Figure 10 Fourier’s Law of Conduction
1. Write Fourier’s Law of Conduction as a differential equation. A simple model depicting sea ice consists of a layer of air, a layer of sea ice, and a layer of sea water. A closer look at this model actually shows another layer directly below the ice. See Figure 11. It is this thin layer of super-cold, almost freezing water that is of interest in this project.
Figure 11 Model of sea ice
In this model heat flows from the warmer water beneath the ice, through the ice, to the colder air above the ice. 2. Using k=2.1 W⁄mK (the thermal conductivity for sea ice), A=1m2 as the surface area of the ice, x m as the thickness of the ice, Tw=-1.8∘C as the near freezing temperature of the layer of sea water directly beneath the ice, and Ta=-20∘C as the (average winter) temperature of Arctic air, write Fourier’s Law of Conduction. Then as the thin layer of sea water directly below the ice loses heat Q, it begins to freeze. The amount of water that freezes satisfies the equation: Q=334m where 334 J⁄g is the heat needed to freeze 1 g of the thin layer of water that freezes.
of water, and m is the mass
3. Find an expression for the mass m of the layer of water directly below the ice that
freezes. (The mass density ρ of freezing sea water is 1.025 g⁄ml.) that the surface area of the ice is A=1m2.
Recall
4. Find the rate of change in heat Q with respect to the thickness x of the ice. 5. Combine the result from Problem 4 with Fourier’s Law of Conductivity (Problem 2) to find the rate of change in thickness of the ice with respect to time. 6. Solve the differential equation found in Problem 5. Then use the initial condition that at time t=0, the thickness of the ice is x=x0. 7. Interpret the solution of the differential equation in Problem 6. Is the rate of change of the thickness of the ice increasing or decreasing over time? 8. Discuss whether this simple model offers a possible explanation for NASA’s finding that the multi-year ice is melting faster than seasonal and other perennial ice. 9. Investigate some of the other factors that affect the behavior of sea ice and write a position paper on the impact of at least one these other factors on the depth of ice in the Arctic.

a. Simplify (x2+1)(3)-(3x+4)(2x)(x2+1)2. b. Write the expression (x2+1)1⁄2+x⋅12(x2+1)-1⁄2⋅2x as a single quotient in which only positive exponents appear. Solution a.
b. (x2+1)1⁄2+x⋅12(x2+1)-1⁄2⋅2x=(x2+1)1⁄2+x2(x2+1)1⁄2= (x2+1)1⁄2(x2+1)1⁄2(x2+1)1⁄2+x2(x2+1)1⁄2=(x2+1)+x2(x2+1)1⁄2=2x2+1(x2+1)1⁄2
▪ 2 Complete the Square We complete the square in one variable by modifying an expression of the form x2+bx to make it a perfect square. Perfect squares are trinomials of the form x2+2ax+a2=(x+a)2orx2-2ax+a2=(x-a)2
For example, x2+6x+9
is a perfect square because x2+6x+9=(x+3)2. And p2-12p+36
is a perfect square because p2-
12p+36=(p-6)2. To make x2+6x a perfect square, we must add 9. The number to be added is chosen by dividing the coefficient of the first-degree term, which is 6, by 2 and squaring the result 622=9. EXAMPLE 3 Completing the Square
Determine the number that must be added to each expression to complete the square. Then factor. Start
Add
y2+8y
Result y2+8y+16

2x2+6x=2(x2+3x)

12⋅32 =94
2x2+3x+94
▪ CAUTION The original expression x2+bx
and the perfect square x2+bx+b22
are not equal. So when completing the square within an equation or an inequality, we must not only add b22,
we must also subtract it. That is,
x2+bx=x2+bx+(b2)2−(b2)2=0=(x+b2)2−(b2)2

THEOREM Quadratic Formula
Consider the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0a≠0 If b2-4ac0. An ellipse is oval-shaped. The line segment dividing the ellipse in half the long way is the major axis; its length is 2a. The two points of intersection of the ellipse and the major axis are the vertices of the ellipse. The midpoint of the vertices is the center of the ellipse. The line segment through the center of the ellipse and perpendicular to the major axis is the minor axis. Along the major axis c units from the center of the ellipse, where c2=a2b2, c>0, are two points, called foci, that determine the shape of the ellipse. See Figure 39.

EXAMPLE 12 Graphing an Ellipse with Center at the Origin
Graph the equation 9x2+4y2=36. Solution To put the equation in standard form, we divide each side by 36. x24+y29=1 The graph of this equation is an ellipse. Since the larger number is under y2, the major axis is along the y -axis. The center is at the origin (0, 0). It is easiest to graph an ellipse by finding its intercepts: x-intercepts: Let y=0y-intercepts: Let x=0x24+029=102+y29=1x2=4y2=9x=-2 and x=2y=-3 and y=3

x2a2-y2b2=1y2a2-x2b2=1 where a>0 and b>0. Two points, called foci, determine the shape of the hyperbola. The midpoint of the line segment containing the foci is called the center of the hyperbola. The foci are located c units from the center, where c2=a2+b2, c>0. The line containing the foci is called the transverse axis. The vertices of a hyperbola are its intercepts. See Figure 41.

Graph the equation y24-x25=1. Solution The graph of y24-x25=1 is a hyperbola. The hyperbola consists of two branches, one opening up, the other opening down, like the graph in Figure 41(b). The hyperbola has no x -intercepts. To find the y -intercepts, we let x=0 and solve for y.

A.4 Trigonometry Used in Calculus OBJECTIVES When you finish this section, you should be able to: 1 Work with angles, arc length of a circle, and circular motion 2 Define and evaluate trigonometric functions 3 Determine the domain and the range of the trigonometric functions 4 Use basic trigonometry identities 5 Use sum and difference, double-angle and half-angle, and sum-to-product
and product-to-sum formulas 6 Solve triangles using the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines 1 Work with Angles, Arc Length of a Circle, and Circular Motion A ray, or half-line, is the portion of a line that starts at a point V on the line and extends indefinitely in one direction. The point V of a ray is called its vertex. See Figure 43.
Figure 43 If two rays are drawn with a common vertex, they form an angle. We call one ray of an angle the initial side and the other ray the terminal side. The angle formed is identified by showing the direction and amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side. If the rotation is in the counterclockwise direction, the angle is positive; if the rotation is clockwise, the angle is negative. See Figure 44.
Figure 44 An angle θ is in standard position if its vertex is at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system and its initial side is on the positive x -axis. See Figure 45 on page A-26.
Figure 45 Suppose an angle θ is in standard position. If its terminal side coincides with a coordinate axis, we say that θ is a quadrantal angle. If its terminal side does not coincide with a coordinate axis, we say that θ lies in a quadrant. See Figure 46.
Figure 46 Angles are measured by determining the amount of rotation needed for the initial side to coincide with the terminal side. The two commonly used measures for angles are degrees and radians. The angle formed by rotating the initial side exactly once in the counterclockwise direction until it coincides with itself (one revolution) measures 360 degrees, abbreviated 360∘. See Figure 47.
Figure 47 1 revolution counterclockwise is 360∘. A central angle is a positive angle whose vertex is at the center of a circle. The rays of a central angle subtend (intersect) an arc on the circle. If the radius of the circle is r and the arc subtended by the central angle is also of length r, then the measure of the angle is 1 radian. See Figure 48.
Figure 48 1 Radian THEOREM Arc Length
For a circle of radius r, a central angle of θ radians subtends an arc whose length s is s=rθ See Figure 49.
Figure 49 s=rθ Consider a circle of radius r. A central angle of one revolution will subtend an arc equal to the circumference of the circle, as shown in Figure 50. Because the circumference of a circle equals 2πr, we use s=2πr in the formula for arc length to find the radian measure of an angle of one revolution. s=rθ2πr=rθFor one revolution: s=2πrθ=2π radiansSolve for θ.

Since one revolution is equivalent to 360∘,
we have 360∘=2π

that 180∘=π radians In calculus, radians are generally used to measure angles, unless degrees are specifically mentioned. Table 5 lists the radian and degree measures for some common angles. TABLE 5 Radians Degrees 0∘

NOTE If the measure of an angle is given as a number, it is understood to mean radians. If the measure of an angle is given in degrees, then it is marked either with the symbol ∘ or the word “degrees.”
THEOREM Area of a Sector
The area A of the sector of a circle of radius r formed by a central angle of θ radians is
A=12r2θ See Figure 51.
Figure 51 A=12r2θ DEFINITION Linear Speed, Angular Speed
Suppose an object moves around a circle of radius r at a constant speed. If s is the distance traveled along the circle in time t, then the linear speed v of the object is v=st The angular speed ω (the Greek letter omega) of an object moving at a constant speed around a circle of radius r is
ω=θt where θ is the angle (measured in radians) swept out in time t. See Figure 52.
Figure 52 v=st; ω=θt Angular speed is used to describe the turning rate of an engine. For example, an engine idling at 900 rpm (revolutions per minute) rotates at an angular speed of 900revolutionsminute=900revolutionsminute⋅2πradiansrevolution=1800πradiansminute
There is an important relationship between linear speed and angular speed:
So, v=rω where ω is measured in radians per unit time. NOTE In the formula s=rθ
for the arc length of a circle, the angle θ must be measured in radians.
When using the equation v=rω, remember that v=st has the dimensions of length per unit of time (such as meters per second or miles per hour), r has the same length dimension as s, and ω has the dimensions of radians per unit of time. If the angular speed is given in revolutions per unit of time (as is often the case), be sure to convert it to radians per unit of time, using the fact that one revolution =2π radians, before using the formula v=rω.
2 Define and Evaluate Trigonometric Functions There are two common approaches to trigonometry: One uses right triangles, and the other uses the unit circle. We suggest you first review the approach you are most familiar with and then read the other approach. The two approaches are given side-by-side on pages A-28 and A-29. Right Triangle Approach Suppose θ is an acute angle; that is, 0
