Math 8 Homework #2

The things taught in colleges are not an education, but the means of education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reading

Read what we will cover in the next class: 9.3

When reading 9.3 pay special attention to the following concepts:

  • Powers of Trig Functions: two main types, reduction formulas, trig identities including the double angle identities, read through the examples carefully.
  • Trig Substitution: the table on page 514 gives a nice summary of the information, read through the examples carefully.

Problems

The following problems are due by the beginning of class on Monday 1/11.
  • 9.2: 1, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 23, 28a
  • NOTE: for problems 10 - 14 Only specify the "appropriate" partial fractions with undetermined coefficients to which you would set p(x)/q(x) equal. Do Not find the undetermined coefficients and Do Not evaluate the integral.
  • Hint for 28a: Differentiate the right side and see what you get.
