Topics: 7.4, 7.5
Read the Example of Sec. 7.5, staring at the bottom of p. 328.
Solve, write-up and turn
in: Sec. 7.4: 3, 7, 18 where take the formula for the
parabola y for granted and solve (a), (b).

Topics: 7.6
Solve, write-up and turn
in: Sec. 7.6: 1, 3, 7, 9, 11. Bonus: 12.
Wednesday
Nov. 8
Topics: 8.2, start 8.4
Solve, write-up and turn
in: 1. We defined ln x for x>0 by ln(x) = the
definite integral, from 1 to x, of 1/t dt.
What about the definite integral of 1/t dt on an interval included in
the negative x-axis? Show that
the integral, from -1 to x (where x<0), of 1/t dt
equals ln|x|+a constant.
2. Using the definition of
ln(x) as the definite integral, from 1 to x, of 1/t dt show that
ln(1/x)=-ln(x).
Hint: substitute t=s/x (s is the new variable of integration).
3. Furthermore, show that
ln(xy)=ln(x)+ln(y).
Hint: substitute t=sy (s is the new variable of integration) and use 2.
