009B Sample Midterm 2

This is a sample, and is meant to represent the material usually covered in Math 9B for the midterm. An actual test may or may not be similar.

 Problem 1 

Consider the region $S$ bounded by $x=1,x=5,y={\frac {1}{x^{2}}}$  and the $x$-axis.

a) Use four rectangles and a Riemann sum to approximate the area of the region $S$. Sketch the region $S$ and the rectangles and indicate whether your rectangles overestimate or underestimate the area of $S$.

b) Find an expression for the area of the region $S$ as a limit. Do not evaluate the limit.

 Problem 2 

This problem has three parts:

a) State the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

b) Compute   ${\frac {d}{dx}}\int _{0}^{\cos(x)}\sin(t)~dt$.

c) Evaluate $\int _{0}^{\pi /4}\sec ^{2}x~dx$.

 Problem 3 

Evaluate:

a) $\int _{1}^{2}{\bigg (}2t+{\frac {3}{t^{2}}}{\bigg )}{\bigg (}4t^{2}-{\frac {5}{t}}{\bigg )}~dt$

b) $\int _{0}^{2}(x^{3}+x){\sqrt {x^{4}+2x^{2}+4}}~dx$

 Problem 4 

Evaluate the integral:

$\int e^{-2x}\sin(2x)~dx$

 Problem 5 

Evaluate the integral:

$\int \tan ^{4}x~dx$
