Calculus II - Exam 1 - Spring 2013: March 7, 2013

1. This is the exam for Calculus II taken on March 7, 2013. It contains 6 problems testing limits, differentiation, integration, and theorems of calculus. 2. The honor code statements affirm that the test taker has not observed any violations of the honor code and will complete all problems showing work. 3. The first problem asks the test taker to solve a differential equation modeling voltage discharge from a capacitor, leaving the final answer in terms of powers and logs as calculators are not permitted.

Calculus II - Exam 1 - Spring 2013

March 7, 2013

Name:
Honor Code Statement:

Additional Honor Code Statement: I have not observed another violating the Honor
Code.

Directions: Complete all problems. Justify all answers/solutions. Calculators are not
permitted. Upon completing the exam, complete and sign the honor code and the addi-
tional statement given above.

1. [10 points] Voltage in a discharging capacitor Suppose that electricity is draining


from a capacitor at a rate that is proportional to the voltage V across its terminals
and that, if t is measured in scones,
dV 1
= − V.
dt 40
Solve this equation for V , using V0 to denote the value of V when t = 0. How long
will it take the voltage to drop to 10% of its original value? (As calculators are not
allowed, leave the answer in terms of powers and logs.)

any).

ln(x+1)
• limx→∞ log2 x

3. [5 points, each] Differentiate the following functions with respect to x.

5. Define/State:

• [5 points] State the Mean Value Theorem and draw a picture that helps illus-
trate the statement.

• [5 points] Give the statement of Theorem 7 of Section 6.1 and draw a picture
that helps illustrate the statement.

6. [10 points] One of the Laws of Logarithms is: if x is a positive real number and r a
rational number, then ln(xr ) = r ln(x). Help finish the proof, a sketch of which is
below, by filling in the blanks.
Proof: Let f (x) = ln(xr ) and g(x) = r ln(x).

We have f 0 (x) =

We also have g 0 (x) =


Since these derivatives are the same, f (x) and g(x) differ by .
That is,
ln(xr ) + C = r ln(x).

Now, let x = 1. We get ln(1r )+C = r ln(1). So by the fact that


C equals .
Thus, ln(xr ) = r ln(x).
