you wish written on both sides for use during the exam.
You may also use your 3"-by-5" note card from Exam 1.
-
No other notes or books are allowed at the exam.
-
You must have your graphing calculator with you, with angular measure set
to radian mode.
-
A table of integrals will be provided, if needed.
What the exam will cover
The exam will have a selection of applications of the sort we have
studied.
Because of the short time available, the exam will not have a problem
of every type,
and the focus will be on getting approximating Riemann sums and
setting up definite integrals to answer
problems rather than on the numerical evaluation of the integrals
to get the final answers.
Chapter 8 applications of integration include:
- Geometric applications
- Area
- Volume by slicing, including solids of revolution
- Arc length
- Polar coordinates
- Graphing r as a function of angle theta
- Areas of regions in polar coordinates
- Arc length in polar coordinate--not on exam
- Density, total mass, and center of mass
- Discrete mass distributions
- One-dimensional continuous mass distributions
- Two- and three-dimensional mass distributions--not
on exam
- Applications to physics
- Financial mathematics
- Present values
- Future (accumulated) values
- Discrete (lump) payments, continuous streams of payments
- Economics: consumer and producer surplus--not on exam
- Distributions and probability
- (Probability) density function, pdf
- Cumulative distribution function, cdf
- Computing probabilities or fractions of a population
- Mean
- Median
Suggested Exam Study Tactics
-
Look over your old homework assignments and in-class exercises.
-
Do a few of the chapter 8 review problems and
"Check Your Understanding" true/false problems.
Answers to odd-numbered problems are in the
back of our text.
-
For each section of the text that will be covered on the exam, write a
summary of the underlying principles, crucial formulas,
and key ideas you need
to solve practical problems.
-
Think carefully about what you want to write on your one note card.
