Problem Eleven: 2000-2001

 Calculus I (AB): Antiderivatives and Inverse Function Derivatives
Given the derivative of some integrable function f(x) is .
    (a)    Find f(x) if f (1) = e.
            (Hint: there will be no "C" in f.)

    (b)    Find .

Difficulty Rating: 

Solution:
(a)    To find f(x), you need to integrate f ':

We know that f(1) = e, so if you plug in 1 for x, the result should be e:

This gives you the exact value of C, so the final answer is .
(b)    In order to calculate , you need to use the following formula (which you should have memorized):

In order to calculate f -1(3), find the place that f(x) = 3. Then, complete your calculations.


Calculus II (BC): A Delightful Assortment of Intregrals
Find the following antiderivatives:

Difficulty Rating: 

Solution:
(a)    You need to use Integration by Parts twice to get this problem correct.
(b)    This is a partial fractions problem.
