Multifaceted Calculus
1. Evaluate $\lim_{\theta \to \infty} \frac{1 + \cos \theta}{2\theta^2}$ using the Squeeze-Theorem.
Since $-1 \leq \cos \theta \leq 1$, we have:
$$\frac{0}{2\theta^2} \leq \frac{1+\cos \theta}{2\theta^2} \leq \frac{2}{2\theta^2} \implies 0 \leq \frac{1+\cos \theta}{2\theta^2} \leq \frac{1}{\theta^2}$$
As $\theta \to \infty$, both bounds tend to $0$, so by Squeeze-Theorem, limit is:
$$0$$
2. Calculate volume of solid formed by rotating $y = e^x$, $0 \leq x \leq 2$ about x-axis.
Volume via disk method:
$$ V = \pi \int_0^2 (e^x)^2 dx = \pi \int_0^2 e^{2x} dx = \pi \left[ \frac{e^{2x}}{2} \right]_0^2 = \frac{\pi}{2}(e^4 - 1) $$
3. Evaluate indefinite integral $\int \frac{1}{x} \cos(\ln x) dx$.
Let $t=\ln x$, then $dt = \frac{1}{x} dx$ so:
$$\int \frac{1}{x} \cos(\ln x) dx = \int \cos t dt = \sin t + C = \sin(\ln x) + C$$
4. Given $z = \cos \theta + i \sin \theta$, use De Moivre's Theorem to show:
$$z^n + z^{-n} = 2 \cos n\theta$$ for $n \in \mathbb{N}$.
By De Moivre's Theorem:
$$z^n = \cos n\theta + i \sin n\theta$$
$$z^{-n} = \cos(-n\theta) + i \sin(-n\theta) = \cos n\theta - i \sin n\theta$$
Add:
$$z^n + z^{-n} = 2 \cos n\theta$$
5. Using
$$(z + z^{-1})^4 = z^4 + 4 z^2 + 6 + 4 z^{-2} + z^{-4}$$
and result from (4), deduce:
$$\cos^4 \theta = \frac{1}{8} \cos 4\theta + \frac{1}{2} \cos 2\theta + \frac{3}{8}$$
Note $z = e^{i\theta}$, so:
$$z + z^{-1} = 2 \cos \theta$$
Raise to power 4:
$$(2 \cos \theta)^4 = (z + z^{-1})^4 = z^4 + 4 z^2 + 6 + 4 z^{-2} + z^{-4}$$
Divide both sides by 16:
$$\cos^4 \theta = \frac{1}{16} (z^4 + 4 z^2 + 6 + 4 z^{-2} + z^{-4})$$
Using (4):
$$z^n + z^{-n} = 2 \cos n\theta$$
So:
$$\cos^4 \theta = \frac{1}{16}(2 \cos 4\theta + 8 \cos 2\theta + 6) = \frac{1}{8} \cos 4\theta + \frac{1}{2} \cos 2\theta + \frac{3}{8}$$
Evaluate the integral:
$$\int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} \cos^4 \theta d\theta = \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} \left( \frac{1}{8} \cos 4\theta + \frac{1}{2} \cos 2\theta + \frac{3}{8} \right) d\theta$$
Integrate term-wise:
$$= \frac{1}{8} \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} \cos 4\theta d\theta + \frac{1}{2} \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} \cos 2\theta d\theta + \frac{3}{8} \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} d\theta$$
Calculate each:
$$\int \cos k\theta d\theta = \frac{\sin k\theta}{k}$$
So:
$$= \frac{1}{8} \left[ \frac{\sin 4\theta}{4} \right]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} + \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{\sin 2\theta}{2} \right]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2} + \frac{3}{8} \left[ \theta \right]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}$$
Calculate values:
$$\sin 4(\pi/2) = \sin 2\pi = 0, \quad \sin 4(\pi/4) = \sin \pi = 0$$
$$\sin 2(\pi/2) = \sin \pi = 0, \quad \sin 2(\pi/4) = \sin \frac{\pi}{2} = 1$$
$$\theta \text{ from } \pi/4 \text{ to } \pi/2 \Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{4}$$
Hence:
$$= \frac{1}{8} \cdot 0 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(0 - \frac{1}{2} \right) + \frac{3}{8} \cdot \frac{\pi}{4} = -\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3\pi}{32} = \frac{3\pi}{32} - \frac{1}{4}$$
6. (a) Given $z = x + iy$, $z^2 = p + iq$ with $x,y,p,q \in \mathbb{R}$, prove:
$$ (x + y)^2 = \sqrt{p^2 + q^2} + q $$
Calculate $z^2$:
$$z^2 = (x + iy)^2 = x^2 - y^2 + 2 i x y$$
So:
$$p = x^2 - y^2, \quad q = 2 x y$$
Calculate:
$$p^2 + q^2 = (x^2 - y^2)^2 + (2 x y)^2 = x^4 - 2 x^2 y^2 + y^4 + 4 x^2 y^2 = x^4 + 2 x^2 y^2 + y^4 = (x^2 + y^2)^2$$
Therefore:
$$\sqrt{p^2 + q^2} = x^2 + y^2$$
Add $q$:
$$\sqrt{p^2 + q^2} + q = x^2 + y^2 + 2 x y = (x + y)^2$$
(b) Find quadratic curve with same tangent and normal as
$$y = x + \frac{3}{x^2}$$
at $Q$, $x=1$.
Compute derivative:
$$y' = 1 - \frac{6}{x^3}$$
At $x=1$:
$$y'(1) = 1 - 6 = -5$$
Equation of tangent at $x=1$:
$$y = y(1) + y'(1)(x - 1)$$
$$y(1) = 1 + 3 = 4$$
So:
$$y = 4 - 5(x - 1) = -5x + 9$$
Normal slope:
$$m_{normal} = -\frac{1}{y'} = \frac{1}{5}$$
Equation normal at $x=1$:
$$y - 4 = \frac{1}{5} (x - 1) \implies y = \frac{1}{5} x + \frac{19}{5}$$
Try quadratic curve:
$$y = a x^2 + b x + c$$
Derivative:
$$y' = 2 a x + b$$
At $x=1$:
$$a + b + c = 4$$
$$2 a + b = -5$$
Normal slope at 1 is $-1/(2a + b)$ must be $1/5$, so:
$$-\frac{1}{2a + b} = \frac{1}{5} \implies 2a + b = -5$$ (same as derivative slope condition)
So solve:
$$\begin{cases} a + b + c = 4 \\ 2a + b = -5 \end{cases}$$
Choose $a = 0$ to simplify:
$$b = -5, \quad c = 4 - 0 - (-5) = 9$$
Quadratic:
$$y = -5 x + 9$$
This is linear, contradicts quadratic requirement, so let $a = 1$:
$$2(1) + b = -5 \implies b = -7$$
$$1 -7 + c = 4 \implies c = 10$$
So quadratic is:
$$y = x^2 - 7 x + 10$$
(c) Prove:
$$\int_{-\alpha}^{\alpha} \frac{f(x)}{1 + b x^2} dx = \int_0^{\alpha} f(x) dx, \quad b \neq 0$$
Assuming $f$ is even or odd, check parity of integrand:
Denominator $1 + b x^2$ even function.
If $f$ is even:
$$\text{integrand } = \frac{f(x)}{1 + b x^2}$$ is even, integral is double from 0 to $\alpha$ not equal to RHS.
If $f$ is odd:
Integral from $-\alpha$ to $\alpha$ is zero.
RHS integral is from 0 to $\alpha$ of odd function, not zero.
Alternatively, consider substitution:
Let $I = \int_{-\alpha}^{\alpha} \frac{f(x)}{1 + b x^2} dx$
By substitution $x = -t$:
$$I = \int_{\alpha}^{-\alpha} \frac{f(-t)}{1 + b t^2} (-dt) = \int_{-\alpha}^{\alpha} \frac{f(-x)}{1 + b x^2} dx$$
So:
$$I = \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\alpha}^{\alpha} \frac{f(x) + f(-x)}{1 + b x^2} dx$$
If assume $f$ is odd, simplifies to 0.
But the given equality is true if:
$$f(x) = \frac{f(x)}{1 + b x^2}, \quad \text{for } x \geq 0$$
Which implies $1 + b x^2 = 1$ or $b=0$, contradicting $b \neq 0$.
Hence problem likely contains typo or additional condition.
