Math 75B, Spring 2008 Homework List

It is very important that you practice doing as many problems as you can. It is not enough to understand the concepts; you must be good at executing them or you will run out of time on exams. Therefore, I have prepared a list of warm-up or study problems for most sections. You do not have to turn the warm-up problems in, but you should do as many of them as you need to in order to feel comfortable with each concept.

You should follow the homework policy outlined in the syllabus for the paper problems to be turned in. In particular, please remember to follow all the format rules. Deadlines and problem lists are subject to change according to announcements made in class. There may be paper homework due on the last day of class, which is a Tuesday!

All paper problems due on the same day should be stapled together in one packet. All problems due on different days should be kept separate. This will be enforced!

* Bonus problem (extra credit)

** Problem set 0 on WeBWorK is optional, but you are encouraged to look at it to familiarize yourself with the online system.

† W denotes a worksheet to be handed out in class. You may download worksheets from the course home page.

Note on section 16-B (Ebersole): Be sure to read the directions at the top of the exercises -- you only have to set up the problems, not solve them!

Hints

4.5

#32: For this problem it is useful to recall the following handy geometric facts:

If a triangle is inscribed in a circle in such a way that one of the sides is a diameter, then the triangle is a right triangle. This will help you express the distance the woman rows in terms of θ.
The length of an arc of a circle is s = 2rθ, where θ is the inscribed angle (as in the picture in the book) and r is the radius of the circle. This will help you express the distance the woman walks in terms of θ.

2.8

#22: See Example 3.

#28(b): Think about the concavity of g(x) at x = 2 and whether g(x) is increasing or decreasing at x = 2. That will give you an idea of whether the tangent line is above or below the curve there.
