DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOKLET UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

NOTES:

• There are 11 numbered pages to the exam. It is your responsibility to ensure that, at
the start of the exam, this booklet has all its pages.

• Answer all questions. Explain and justify your answers.

• Show all your work. Credit will not be given for numerical answers if the work is
not shown. If you need more space use the back of the page.

• No cell phones and any type of e-mail or instant messaging devices are allowed to be
brought to the exam. Be sure that if you have any, that they are OFF and in your
backpack away from you.

• One scientific calculator without the ability to integrate, differentiate or graph is al-
lowed. No other electronic aid is allowed.

1. [16 marks] TRUE OR FALSE Carefully read each statement. If the asserta-
tion must be true, the circle T (for true). Otherwise, circle F (for false). Justification
is neither required nor rewarded, but a small workplace is given for your rough work.
Each correct answer earns 2 points and each incorrect or blank answer earns 0 points.

(a) Assume that y 6= 0. The differential equation y 0 = 13y 2 sin(x) has general solution

y = 13 cos(x) .

(b) In approximating I = f (x)dx, the following values were obtained (in some
a
order) for the left Riemann sum approximation (Ln ), trapezoidal rule approxima-
tion (Tn ), and the midpoint rule approximation (Mn ), using the same number of
subdivisions in each case: (i) 0.36735, (ii) 0.36814, (iii) 0.33575. Suppose that f
is known to be increasing and concave down. Then approximation (i) is Tn , (ii)
is Mn and (iii) is Ln .

(d) Suppose that the integral test (IT) can be applied to the series an . We can

continues with the indicated pattern and that all numbers in the infinite sequence lie
in the interval [2, 9]. State the recursive formula that defines the sequence. Use the
Principle of Mathematical Induction to prove the sequence is increasing. Does this
sequence converge or diverge? Justify. If the sequence converges then calculate its
limit.
