Exercise 5.4.40Math 31A 2010.03.02MATH 31A DISCUSSIONJED YANG1. Theorems1.1. Comparison Theorem. If g(x) ≤ f (x) on an interval [a, b], thenZbag(x) dx ≤Zbaf(x) dx.1.2. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, I. Assume that f(x) is continuouson [a, b] and let F (x) be an antiderivative of f(x) on [a, b]. ThenZbaf(x) dx = F (b) − F (a).1.3. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, II. Assume that f(x) is continuouson [a, b]. LetA(x) =Zxaf(t) dt.Then A is an antiderivative of f , that is, A′(x) = f(x), or equivalentlyddxZxaf(t) dt = f(x).Furthermore, A(x) satisfies the initial condition A(a) = 0 .2. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus2.1. Exercise 5.3.39. Write the integralRπ0|cos x| dx as a sum of integrals withoutabsolute values and e valuate.Solution. Notice that cos x is nonnegative on [0, π/2] and nonpos itive on [π/2, π].As such, the integral in questio n isRπ/20cos x dx +Rπ/4π/2− cos x dx = sin x |π/20− sin x |ππ/2= 1 − 0 − 0 + 1 = 2. 2.2. Exercise 5.3.52. Apply the Compariso n Theorem to the inequality sin x ≤ x(valid for x ≥ 0) to prove 1 −x22≤ cos x ≤ 1. Apply it again to prove x −x36≤sin x ≤ x (for x ≥ 0).Solution. On [0, t] for s ome t > 0, we have sin x ≤ x. B y the Comparison Theorem,we ge tRt0sin x dx ≤Rt0x dx. This gives − cos t + 1 ≤ t2/2 hence 1 −t22≤ cos t.Since cos is even, cos −t = cos t s atisfies the same inequality. Applying this againwe getRt01 −x22dx ≤Rt0cos x dx, yielding t −t33≤ sin t, as desired. Math 31A Yang 22.3. Exercise 5.4.40. Find the smallest positive critical point ofF (x) =Zx0cos(t3/2) dtand determine whether it is a local min or max.Solution. As usual, to find critical point, we take derivative and set to 0. ByFTC2, we get F′(x) = cos(x3/2). The smallest positive zero is when x3/2=π2. Sox = (π/2)2/3is the smallest positive critical point. Since F′goes from p ositive tonegative, it is a local max.
