    The Mean Value Theorem Math 120 Calculus I Fall 2015

    The Mean Value Theorem Math 120 Calculus I Fall 2015 The central theorem to much of differential calculus is the Mean Value Theorem, which we'll abbreviate MVT. It is the theoretical tool used to study the first and second derivatives. There is a nice logical sequence of connections here. It starts with the Extreme Value Theorem (EVT) that we looked at earlier when we studied the concept of continuity. It says that any function that is continuous on a closed interval takes on a maximum and a minimum value. A technical lemma. We begin our study with a technical lemma that allows us to relate 0 the derivative of a function at a point to values of the function nearby. Specifically, if f (x0) is positive, then for x nearby but smaller than x0 the values f(x) will be less than f(x0), but for x nearby but larger than x0, the values of f(x) will be larger than f(x0). This says something like f is an increasing function near x0, but not quite. An analogous statement 0 holds when f (x0) is negative. Proof. The proof of this lemma involves the definition of derivative and the definition of limits, but none of the proofs for the rest of the theorems here require that depth. 0 Suppose that f (x0) = p, some positive number. That means that f(x) − f(x ) lim 0 = p: x!x0 x − x0 f(x) − f(x0) So you can make arbitrarily close to p by taking x sufficiently close to x0.
  • Series: Convergence and Divergence Comparison Tests

    Series: Convergence and Divergence Comparison Tests

    Series: Convergence and Divergence Here is a compilation of what we have done so far (up to the end of October) in terms of convergence and divergence. • Series that we know about: P∞ n Geometric Series: A geometric series is a series of the form n=0 ar . The series converges if |r| < 1 and 1 a1 diverges otherwise . If |r| < 1, the sum of the entire series is 1−r where a is the first term of the series and r is the common ratio. P∞ 1 2 p-Series Test: The series n=1 np converges if p1 and diverges otherwise . P∞ • Nth Term Test for Divergence: If limn→∞ an 6= 0, then the series n=1 an diverges. Note: If limn→∞ an = 0 we know nothing. It is possible that the series converges but it is possible that the series diverges. Comparison Tests: P∞ • Direct Comparison Test: If a series n=1 an has all positive terms, and all of its terms are eventually bigger than those in a series that is known to be divergent, then it is also divergent. The reverse is also true–if all the terms are eventually smaller than those of some convergent series, then the series is convergent. P P P That is, if an, bn and cn are all series with positive terms and an ≤ bn ≤ cn for all n sufficiently large, then P P if cn converges, then bn does as well P P if an diverges, then bn does as well. (This is a good test to use with rational functions.

    Critical Points and Classifying Local Maxima and Minima Don Byrd, Rev

    Notes on Textbook Section 4.1 Critical Points and Classifying Local Maxima and Minima Don Byrd, rev. 25 Oct. 2011 To find and classify critical points of a function f (x) First steps: 1. Take the derivative f ’(x) . 2. Find the critical points by setting f ’ equal to 0, and solving for x . To finish the job, use either the first derivative test or the second derivative test. Via First Derivative Test 3. Determine if f ’ is positive (so f is increasing) or negative (so f is decreasing) on both sides of each critical point. • Note that since all that matters is the sign, you can check any value on the side you want; so use values that make it easy! • Optional, but helpful in more complex situations: draw a sign diagram. For example, say we have critical points at 11/8 and 22/7. It’s usually easier to evaluate functions at integer values than non-integers, and it’s especially easy at 0. So, for a value to the left of 11/8, choose 0; for a value to the right of 11/8 and the left of 22/7, choose 2; and for a value to the right of 22/7, choose 4. Let’s say f ’(0) = –1; f ’(2) = 5/9; and f ’(4) = 5. Then we could draw this sign diagram: Value of x 11 22 8 7 Sign of f ’(x) negative positive positive ! ! 4. Apply the first derivative test (textbook, top of p. 172, restated in terms of the derivative): If f ’ changes from negative to positive: f has a local minimum at the critical point If f ’ changes from positive to negative: f has a local maximum at the critical point If f ’ is positive on both sides or negative on both sides: f has neither one For the above example, we could tell from the sign diagram that 11/8 is a local minimum of f (x), while 22/7 is neither a local minimum nor a local maximum.

  • Drainage Geocomposite Workshop

    Drainage Geocomposite Workshop

    January/February 2000 Volume 18, Number 1 Drainage geocomposite workshop By Gregory N. Richardson, Sam R. Allen, C. Joel Sprague A number of recent designer’s columns have focused on the design of drainage geocomposites (Richard- son and Zhao, 1998), so only areas of concern are discussed here. Two design considerations requiring the most consideration by a designer are: 1) assumed rate of fluid inflow draining into the geocomposite, and 2) long-term reduction and safety factors required to assure adequate performance over the service life of the drainage system. In regions of the United States that are not arid or semi-arid, a reasonable upper limit for inflow into a drainage layer can be estimated by assuming that the soil immediately above the drain layer is saturated. This saturation produces a unit gradient flow in the overlying soil such that the inflow rate, r, is approximately θ equal to the permeability of the soil, ksoil. The required transmissivity, , of the drainage layer is then equal to: θ = r*L/i = ksoil*L/i where L is the effective drainage length of the geocomposite and i is the flow gradient (head change/flow length). This represents an upper limit for flow into the geocomposite. In arid and semi-arid regions of the USA saturation of the soil layers may be an overly conservative assumption, however, no alternative rec- ommendations can currently be given. Regardless of the assumed r value, a geocomposite drainage layer must be designed such that flow is not in- advertently restricted prior to removal from the drain.
  • Calculus 120, Section 7.3 Maxima & Minima of Multivariable Functions

    Calculus 120, Section 7.3 Maxima & Minima of Multivariable Functions

    Calculus 120, section 7.3 Maxima & Minima of Multivariable Functions notes by Tim Pilachowski A quick note to start: If you’re at all unsure about the material from 7.1 and 7.2, now is the time to go back to review it, and get some help if necessary. You’ll need all of it for the next three sections. Just like we had a first-derivative test and a second-derivative test to maxima and minima of functions of one variable, we’ll use versions of first partial and second partial derivatives to determine maxima and minima of functions of more than one variable. The first derivative test for functions of more than one variable looks very much like the first derivative test we have already used: If f(x, y, z) has a relative maximum or minimum at a point ( a, b, c) then all partial derivatives will equal 0 at that point. That is ∂f ∂f ∂f ()a b,, c = 0 ()a b,, c = 0 ()a b,, c = 0 ∂x ∂y ∂z Example A: Find the possible values of x, y, and z at which (xf y,, z) = x2 + 2y3 + 3z 2 + 4x − 6y + 9 has a relative maximum or minimum. Answers : (–2, –1, 0); (–2, 1, 0) Example B: Find the possible values of x and y at which fxy(),= x2 + 4 xyy + 2 − 12 y has a relative maximum or minimum. Answer : (4, –2); z = 12 Notice that the example above asked for possible values. The first derivative test by itself is inconclusive. The second derivative test for functions of more than one variable is a good bit more complicated than the one used for functions of one variable.

    Summary of Derivative Tests

    Summary of Derivative Tests Note that for all the tests given below it is assumed that the function f is continuous. Critical Numbers Definition. A critical number of a function f is a number c in the domain of f such that either f 0(c) = 0 or f 0(c) does not exist. Critical numbers tell you where a possible max/min occurs. Closed Interval Method Use: To find absolute mins/maxes on an interval [a; b] Steps: 1. Find the critical numbers of f [set f 0(x) = 0 and solve] 2. Find the value of f at each critical number 3. Find the value of f at each endpoint [i.e., find f(a) and f(b)] 4. Compare all of the above function values. The largest one is the absolute max and the smallest one is the absolute min. First Derivative Test Use: To find local max/mins Statement of the test: Suppose c is a critical number. 1. If f 0 changes from positive to negative at c; then f has a local max at c 2. If f 0 changes from negative to positive at c, then f has a local min at c 3. If f 0 is positive to the left and right of c [or negative to the left and right of c], then f has no local max or min at c Trick to Remember: If you are working on a problem and forget what means what in the above test, draw a picture of tangent lines around a minimum or around a maximum 1 Steps: 1.

Differentiation rules. Definition: Let f :(a; b) ! R and c 2 (a; b). If the limit lim f(x)−f(c) exists and is finite, then we say that f is differentiable at x!c x−c 0 df c, and we write this limit as f (c) or dx (c). This is the derivative of f at c, and also obviously equals lim f(c+h)−f(c) by setting x = c + h or h = x − c. If f is h!0 h differentiable at every point in (a; b), then we say that f is differentiable on (a; b). Theorem 6.1. If f :(a; b) ! R is differentiable at at a point c 2 (a; b), then f is continuous at c. Proof. If f is differentiable at c then f(x) − f(c) f(x) = (x − c) + f(c) ! f 0(c)0 + f(c) = f(c); x − c as x ! c. So f is continuous at c. Theorem 6.2. (Calculus I differentiation laws) If f; g :(a; b) !

  • Maximum and Minimum Definition

    Maximum and Minimum Definition

    Maximum and Minimum Definition: Definition: Let f be defined in an interval I. For all x, y in the interval I. If f(x) < f(y) whenever x < y then we say f is increasing in the interval I. If f(x) > f(y) whenever x < y then we say f is decreasing in the interval I. Graphically, a function is increasing if its graph goes uphill when x moves from left to right; and if the function is decresing then its graph goes downhill when x moves from left to right. Notice that a function may be increasing in part of its domain while decreasing in some other parts of its domain. For example, consider f(x) = x2. Notice that the graph of f goes downhill before x = 0 and it goes uphill after x = 0. So f(x) = x2 is decreasing on the interval (−∞; 0) and increasing on the interval (0; 1). Consider f(x) = sin x. π π 3π 5π 7π 9π f is increasing on the intervals (− 2 ; 2 ), ( 2 ; 2 ), ( 2 ; 2 )...etc, while it is de- π 3π 5π 7π 9π 11π creasing on the intervals ( 2 ; 2 ), ( 2 ; 2 ), ( 2 ; 2 )...etc. In general, f = sin x is (2n+1)π (2n+3)π increasing on any interval of the form ( 2 ; 2 ), where n is an odd integer. (2m+1)π (2m+3)π f(x) = sin x is decreasing on any interval of the form ( 2 ; 2 ), where m is an even integer. What about a constant function? Is a constant function an increasing function or decreasing function? Well, it is like asking when you walking on a flat road, as you going uphill or downhill? From our definition, a constant function is neither increasing nor decreasing.
