    Math 142 – Quiz 6 – Solutions 1. (A) by Direct Calculation, Lim 1+3N 2

    Math 142 – Quiz 6 – Solutions 1. (a) By direct calculation, 1 + 3n 1 + 3 0 + 3 3 lim = lim n = = − . n→∞ n→∞ 2 2 − 5n n − 5 0 − 5 5 3 So it is convergent with limit − 5 . (b) By using f(x), where an = f(n), x2 2x 2 lim = lim = lim = 0. x→∞ ex x→∞ ex x→∞ ex (Obtained using L’Hˆopital’s Rule twice). Thus the sequence is convergent with limit 0. (c) By comparison, n − 1 n + cos(n) n − 1 ≤ ≤ 1 and lim = 1 n + 1 n + 1 n→∞ n + 1 n n+cos(n) o so by the Squeeze Theorem, the sequence n+1 converges to 1. 2. (a) By the Ratio Test (or as a geometric series), 32n+2 32n 3232n 7n 9 L = lim (16 )/(16 ) = lim = . n→∞ 7n+1 7n n→∞ 32n 7 7n 7 The ratio is bigger than 1, so the series is divergent. Can also show using the Divergence Test since limn→∞ an = ∞. (b) By the integral test Z ∞ Z t 1 1 t dx = lim dx = lim ln(ln x)|2 = lim ln(ln t) − ln(ln 2) = ∞. 2 x ln x t→∞ 2 x ln x t→∞ t→∞ So the integral diverges and thus by the Integral Test, the series also diverges. (c) By comparison, (n3 − 3n + 1)/(n5 + 2n3) n5 − 3n3 + n2 1 − 3n−2 + n−3 lim = lim = lim = 1. n→∞ 1/n2 n→∞ n5 + 2n3 n→∞ 1 + 2n−2 Since P 1/n2 converges (p-series, p = 2 > 1), by the Limit Comparison Test, the series converges.

    3.3 Convergence Tests for Infinite Series

    3.3 Convergence Tests for Infinite Series 3.3.1 The integral test We may plot the sequence an in the Cartesian plane, with independent variable n and dependent variable a: n X The sum an can then be represented geometrically as the area of a collection of rectangles with n=1 height an and width 1. This geometric viewpoint suggests that we compare this sum to an integral. If an can be represented as a continuous function of n, for real numbers n, not just integers, and if the m X sequence an is decreasing, then an looks a bit like area under the curve a = a(n). n=1 In particular, m m+2 X Z m+1 X an > an dn > an n=1 n=1 n=2 For example, let us examine the first 10 terms of the harmonic series 10 X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + + + + + + + + + : n 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 1 1 If we draw the curve y = x (or a = n ) we see that 10 11 10 X 1 Z 11 dx X 1 X 1 1 > > = − 1 + : n x n n 11 1 1 2 1 (See Figure 1, copied from Wikipedia) Z 11 dx Now = ln(11) − ln(1) = ln(11) so 1 x 10 X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + + + + + + + + + > ln(11) n 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 and 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 + + + + + + + + + < ln(11) + (1 − ): 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Z dx So we may bound our series, above and below, with some version of the integral : x If we allow the sum to turn into an infinite series, we turn the integral into an improper integral.
  • 1 Improper Integrals

    1 Improper Integrals

    July 14, 2019 MAT136 { Week 6 Justin Ko 1 Improper Integrals In this section, we will introduce the notion of integrals over intervals of infinite length or integrals of functions with an infinite discontinuity. These definite integrals are called improper integrals, and are understood as the limits of the integrals we introduced in Week 1. Definition 1. We define two types of improper integrals: 1. Infinite Region: If f is continuous on [a; 1) or (−∞; b], the integral over an infinite domain is defined as the respective limit of integrals over finite intervals, Z 1 Z t Z b Z b f(x) dx = lim f(x) dx; f(x) dx = lim f(x) dx: a t!1 a −∞ t→−∞ t R 1 R a If both a f(x) dx < 1 and −∞ f(x) dx < 1, then Z 1 Z a Z 1 f(x) dx = f(x) dx + f(x) dx: −∞ −∞ a R 1 If one of the limits do not exist or is infinite, then −∞ f(x) dx diverges. 2. Infinite Discontinuity: If f is continuous on [a; b) or (a; b], the improper integral for a discon- tinuous function is defined as the respective limit of integrals over finite intervals, Z b Z t Z b Z b f(x) dx = lim f(x) dx f(x) dx = lim f(x) dx: a t!b− a a t!a+ t R c R b If f has a discontinuity at c 2 (a; b) and both a f(x) dx < 1 and c f(x) dx < 1, then Z b Z c Z b f(x) dx = f(x) dx + f(x) dx: a a c R b If one of the limits do not exist or is infinite, then a f(x) dx diverges.
  • 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.

    Ch 11 Vibrations and Waves Simple Harmonic Motion Simple Harmonic Motion

    Ch 11 Vibrations and Waves Simple Harmonic Motion Simple Harmonic Motion A vibration (oscillation) back & forth taking the same amount of time for each cycle is periodic. Each vibration has an equilibrium position from which it is somehow disturbed by a given energy source. The disturbance produces a displacement from equilibrium. This is followed by a restoring force. Vibrations transfer energy. Recall Hooke’s Law The restoring force of a spring is proportional to the displacement, x. F = -kx. K is the proportionality constant and we choose the equilibrium position of x = 0. The minus sign reminds us the restoring force is always opposite the displacement, x. F is not constant but varies with position. Acceleration of the mass is not constant therefore. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeYRkW8V7Vg&feature=pl ayer_embedded Key Terms Displacement- distance from equilibrium Amplitude- maximum displacement Cycle- one complete to and fro motion Period (T)- Time for one complete cycle (s) Frequency (f)- number of cycles per second (Hz) * period and frequency are inversely related: T = 1/f f = 1/T Energy in SHOs (Simple Harmonic Oscillators) In stretching or compressing a spring, work is required and potential energy is stored. Elastic PE is given by: PE = ½ kx2 Total mechanical energy E of the mass-spring system = sum of KE + PE E = ½ mv2 + ½ kx2 Here v is velocity of the mass at x position from equilibrium. E remains constant w/o friction. Energy Transformations As a mass oscillates on a spring, the energy changes from PE to KE while the total E remains constant.

  • Euler Equation and Geodesics R

    Euler Equation and Geodesics R

    Euler Equation and Geodesics R. Herman February 2, 2018 Introduction Newton formulated the laws of motion in his 1687 volumes, col- lectively called the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, or simply the Principia. However, Newton’s development was geometrical and is not how we see classical dynamics presented when we first learn mechanics. The laws of mechanics are what are now considered analytical mechanics, in which classical dynamics is presented in a more elegant way. It is based upon variational principles, whose foundations began with the work of Eu- ler and Lagrange and have been refined by other now-famous figures in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Euler coined the term the calculus of variations in 1756, though it is also called variational calculus. The goal is to find minima or maxima of func- tions of the form f : M ! R, where M can be a set of numbers, functions, paths, curves, surfaces, etc. Interest in extrema problems in classical mechan- ics began near the end of the seventeenth century with Newton and Leibniz. In the Principia, Newton was interested in the least resistance of a surface of revolution as it moves through a fluid. Seeking extrema at the time was not new, as the Egyptians knew that the shortest path between two points is a straight line and that a circle encloses the largest area for a given perimeter. Heron, an Alexandrian scholar, deter- mined that light travels along the shortest path. This problem was later taken up by Willibrord Snellius (1580–1626) after whom Snell’s law of refraction is named.

    CHAPTER FOURTEEN OSCILLATIONS 14.1 INTRODUCTION In our daily life we come across various kinds of motions. You have already learnt about some of them, e.g., rectilinear 14.1 Introduction motion and motion of a projectile. Both these motions are 14.2 Periodic and oscillatory non-repetitive. We have also learnt about uniform circular motions motion and orbital motion of planets in the solar system. In 14.3 Simple harmonic motion these cases, the motion is repeated after a certain interval of 14.4 Simple harmonic motion time, that is, it is periodic. In your childhood, you must have and uniform circular enjoyed rocking in a cradle or swinging on a swing. Both motion these motions are repetitive in nature but different from the 14.5 Velocity and acceleration periodic motion of a planet. Here, the object moves to and fro in simple harmonic motion about a mean position. The pendulum of a wall clock executes 14.6 Force law for simple a similar motion. Examples of such periodic to and fro harmonic motion motion abound: a boat tossing up and down in a river, the 14.7 Energy in simple harmonic piston in a steam engine going back and forth, etc. Such a motion motion is termed as oscillatory motion. In this chapter we 14.8 Some systems executing study this motion. simple harmonic motion The study of oscillatory motion is basic to physics; its 14.9 Damped simple harmonic motion concepts are required for the understanding of many physical 14.10 Forced oscillations and phenomena. In musical instruments, like the sitar, the guitar resonance or the violin, we come across vibrating strings that produce pleasing sounds.

Neipp Departamento de F¶³sica, Ingenier¶³ade Sistemas y Teor¶³ade la Se~nal,Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain Recebido em 30/7/2007; Aceito em 28/8/2007 This paper deals with the nonlinear oscillation of a simple pendulum and presents not only the exact formula for the period but also the exact expression of the angular displacement as a function of the time, the amplitude of oscillations and the angular frequency for small oscillations. This angular displacement is written in terms of the Jacobi elliptic function sn(u;m) using the following initial conditions: the initial angular displacement is di®erent from zero while the initial angular velocity is zero. The angular displacements are plotted using Mathematica, an available symbolic computer program that allows us to plot easily the function obtained. As we will see, even for amplitudes as high as 0.75¼ (135±) it is possible to use the expression for the angular displacement, but considering the exact expression for the angular frequency ! in terms of the complete elliptic integral of the ¯rst kind. We can conclude that for amplitudes lower than 135o the periodic motion exhibited by a simple pendulum is practically harmonic but its oscillations are not isochronous (the period is a function of the initial amplitude).
