Exercise 8.14:
$e){x + 1 \over x} = 1 + {1\over x}$. Not all of these integrals exist.

Show that $\sum(f,P,S) \leq \sum(g,P,S)$ for every partition $P$ of $[a,b]$ and every sample $S$ for $P$.

Exercise 8.28:
$g$ is the sum of an integrable function and a spike function.

Exercise 8.32:
$f$ is not piecewise monotonic. It is easy to see that $f$ is integrable on $[1,2]$. If you can show it is integrable on $[0,1]$then you are essentially done.

Exercise 8.55:
area = $4\pi$.

Exercise 8.57:
The areas are $5/12$ and $1$.

The last two formulas are obtained from the second by replacing $t$ by $t/2$.

Exercise 9.29:
I used exercise 9.28 with $x={\pi \over 6}$ to find $\cos({\pi \over 6})$. You can also give a more geometric proof.

You will need to use (9.24).

Exercise 11.29:
$(g\circ (g \circ g))(x) = ((g\circ g)\circ g)(x) = x$ for $x \in \mbox{{\bf R}}\setminus{0,1}$. If you said $(f\circ f)(x) = x$, calculate both sides when $x = -1$.

Exercise 11.40:
Use the definition of derivative. $h'(2) = 0$.

Exercise 11.43:
$g'(x) = -\tan(x)$, $h'(x) = \tan(x)$, $k'(x) = \sec(x)$, $l'(x) = -\csc(x)$, $m'(x) = 9x^2\ln(5x)$, $n'(x) = {\sqrt{x^2+1}\over x}$ (It requires a lot of calculation to simplify $n'$), $p'(x) = {x^2 \over x+4}$, $q'(x) = \sin(\ln(\vert 6x\vert)).$

Yes.

You can apply the chain rule to the identity $f(-x)=f(x)$.

Exercise 13.14:
The function to minimize is $f(x) = $distance $((0,{9 \over 2}),(x,x^2))$.

Exercise 13.15:
You may get a complicated equation of the form $\sqrt{f(x)} = \sqrt{g(x)}$ to solve. Square both sides and the equation should simplify.

Exercise 14.5:
Apply the intermediate value property to $f -f{p}$.

Exercise 14.9:
One of the zeros is in $[1,2]$.

Exercise 14.10:
I showed that if temp$(A) <$ temp$(B) <$ temp$(D)$, then there is a point $Q$ in $DC \cup CA$ such that temp$(Q) =$ temp$(B)$.

Exercise 14.11:
if temp$(A) <$ temp$(B) <$ temp$(C) <$ temp$(D)$, find two points different from $B$ that have the same temperature as $B$.

Exercise 14.54:
$f'(x) = 2\sqrt{a^2-x^2}$; $h'(x) = \arccos(ax)$; $n'(x) = (a^2+b^2)e^{ax}\sin(bx)$; $p'(x)=a^3x^2e^{ax}$.

Exercise 14.55:
It is not true that $l(x) = x$ for all $x$. Note that the image of $l$ is $[-{\pi \over 2},{\pi\over 2}]$.

Exercise 15.5:
$g^{(k)}(t) = tf^{(k)}(t) + kf^{(k-1)}(t)$.

Exercise 15.22:
$h(t) = h_0 + v_0t - {1 \over 2}gt^2.$

Exercise 15.29:
Use theorem 15.27 and corollary 12.26

Exercise 16.2:
You probably will not be able to find a ``single formula'' for this. My function has a local maximum at ${1 \over {2n+1}}$ for all $n\in\mbox{${\mbox{{\bf Z}}}^{+}$}$.

Exercise 16.8:
The result is known if $p<q$. To get the result when $q<p$, apply 16.6 to $f$ on $[q,p]$.

Exercise 16.13:
Not all of these integrals make sense. $K'(x)=1$ for all $x \in \mbox{{\bf R}}$. $L'(x) = 1$ for $x \in \mbox{${\mbox{{\bf R}}}^{+}$}$. $L'(x) = -1$ for $x \in \mbox{${\mbox{{\bf R}}}^{-}$}$. $L(0)$ is not defined.

Exercise 17.16:
b) $-\ln(\vert\csc(e^x) + \cot(e^x)\vert)$; f) ${1\over 2}\ln(\vert\sin(2x)\vert)$. i) Cf example 9.68i.j) You did this in exercise 9.69.

Exercise 17.31:
b) ${1\over 2}e^x(\sin(x) -\cos(x)).$ When you do the second integration by parts, be careful not to undo the first. c) $x\arctan(x) - {1\over 2}\ln(1+x^2)$. Let $g'(x) = 1$. d) and e) can be done easily without using integration by parts. f) If $r=-1$ the answer is ${1\over 2}(\ln(\vert x\vert))^2$.

Exercise 17.42:
c) Let $u = \sqrt{x}$. You will need an integration by parts. d) Let $u = \ln(3x)$. e) Remember the definition of $2^x$.

Exercise 17.49:
a) ${1\over2}a^2 \arcsin({x\over a}) + {1\over 2}x\sqrt{a^2-x^2}.$ If you forget how to find $\int\cos^2(\theta)d\theta$, review example 9.53. Also recall that $\sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x)$. b) $\ln({x + \sqrt{a^2+x^2} \over a}).$ c) and d) do not require a trigonometric substitution.

Exercise 17.53:
a) ${5\over 4}.$ b) ${\pi \over 6}.$ c)${4\over 15}.$

Exercise 17.54:
${2\pi \over 3} + \sqrt{3}.$

Exercise 17.64:
(g) $\ln(\sqrt{x^2+2x+2} + x + 1).$ First complete the square, and then reduce the problem to $\int {1\over \sqrt{u^2 + 1}}du$.
