DUE: Thursday, October 29th in your discussion section [unless your GSI says otherwise].
Unless otherwise stated, please include an explanation with your answers. Answers without explanations
will receive very little credit, if any.
You are welcome to work with other students, as well as use outside resources such as other textbooks,
Wikipedia, online notes, or Youtube lectures for help. However, university policy for all courses is that if
you work with other people or use outside resources, you must credit them [say who you worked with or
what outside sources you used for each question, if any] unless your instructor says you dont have to.
Even and Odd Functions
1. Let f, g : R R be any functions.
(a) Explain why, if f and g are both even, then f g is an even function. For example, if f (x) = x2 and
g(x) = cos x, then f g means x2 cos x.
(b) Explain why, if f and g are both odd, then f + g is an odd function.
(c) Explain why if f is even and differentiable, then f 0 is an odd function. Hint: Start with f (x) = f (x),
then differentiate.
(d) Optional: If you need the practice: Explain why, if f and g are both odd, then f g is an even
function.
(e) Optional: If you need the practice: Explain why, if f and g are both even, then f + g is an even
function.
(f) Optional: If you need the practice: Suppose f is even but g is odd. Does f g have to be even?
Does f g have to be odd? Why or why not?
(g) Optional: If you need the practice: Suppose f is even but g is odd. Does f + g have to be even?
Does f + g have to be odd? Why or why not?
(h) Optional: If you need the practice: Suppose f is odd and differentiable. Does f 0 have to be even?
Does f 0 have to be odd? Why or why not?
2. Are there any functions f : R R that are both even and odd?
If not, explain why there arent.
If there are, find all of them and explain why you have found all of them.

Integration by Parts
3. Compute each of the following integrals. Each should need integration by parts.
Compute means simplify to the point where there are no limits, derivatives, integrals, evaluation bars,
or infinite
sums..
Z
(a)
ln x dx. Hint: dv can be just dx.
Z
(b) (6x2 + x 1) sin(3x) dx. Hint: Doing (6x2 + x 1) sin(3x) = 6x2 sin(3x) + x sin(3x) sin(3x) and
then doing integration by parts on each of 6x2 sin(3x) and x sin(3x) isnt wrong, but its not the fastest
2
way
Z to do this problem. Try setting u = 6x + x 1 instead.
(c)
ex sin x dx. Hint: How did the slides integrate ex cos x?.
Z e
(d)
xa ln x dx, where a is some number. Leave your answer in terms of a. Hint/Warning: Youll need
1

different steps when a = 1. Why?

4.
how many times would you need to do integration by parts to turn
Z If p(x) is a degree-n polynomial,
Z
p(x)ex dx into something like ex dx?

5. (a) By using integration by parts, explain why:

Z
Z

n1
n
n1
cos x dx = sin x cos
x+
cosn2 x dx
n
n
for any real number n 6= 0. Hint: Use u = cosn1 x and dv = cos x dx, then use sin2 x = 1 cos2 x to
help rearrange what you get.
Z
(b) Use the formula from part (a) to help find
cos3 x dx.
Z
(c) Use the formula from part (a) twice to help find cos4 x dx.
Comments: By repeatedly using the formula from part (a), you can integrate cosn x for any positive
7
integer
(a) to
R n.7 For example, if Ryou 5wanted to integrate cos x, you could Ruse 5the formula from part
R
get cos x dx inR terms of cos x dx. R Using the formula again gives cos x dx in terms of cos3 x dx.
Repeating gives cos3 x dx in terms of cos x dx, and thatsR somethingRyou alreadyRknow.
R
There
similar techniques that you can use to help find sinn x dx, tann x dx, secn x dx, (ln x)n dx,
R n are
and x ex dx.




6. Given that 12 = , compute 92 .
Hint: You dont need to do any integrals for this problem. Just some of the rules for .
