PREFACE We have significantly revised this edition of Thomas' Calculus to meet the changing needs of today's instructors and students. The result is a book with more examples, more midlevel exercises, more figures, better conceptual flow, and increased clarity and precision. As with previous editions, this new edition provides a modern introduction to calculus that supports conceptual understanding but retains the essential elements of a traditional course. These enhancements are closely tied to an expanded version for this text of MyMathLab® (discussed further on), providing additional support for students and flexibility for instructors. Many of our students were exposed to the terminology and computational aspects of calculus during high school. Despite this familiarity, students' algebra and trigonometry skills often hinder their success in the college calculus sequence. With this text, we have sought to balance the students' prior experience with calculus with the algebraic skill development they may still need, all without undermining or derailing their confidence. We have taken care to provide enough review material, fully stepped-out solutions, and exercises to support complete understanding for students of all levels. We encourage students to think beyond memorizing formulas and to generalize concepts as they are introduced. Our hope is that after taking calculus, students will be confident in their problem-solving and reasoning abilities. Mastering a beautiful subject with practical applications to the world is its own reward, but the real gift is the ability to think and generalize. We intend this book to provide support and encouragement for both.

Changes for the Twelfth Edition CONTENT In preparing this edition we have maintained the basic structure of the Table of Contents from the eleventh edition. Yet we have paid attention to requests by current users and reviewers to postpone the introduction of parametric equations until we present polar coordinates, and to treat 1'H6pital's Rule after the transcendental functions have been studied. We have made numerous revisions to most of the chapters, detailed as follows. • Functions We condensed this chapter even more to focus on reviewing function concepts. Prerequisite material covering real numbers, intervals, increments, straight lines, distances, circles, and parabolas is presented in Appendices 1-3. • Limits To improve the flow of this chapter, we combined the ideas of limits involving infinity and their associations with asymptotes to the graphs of functions, placing them together in the final chapter section. • Differentiation While we use rates of change and tangents to curves as motivation for studying the limit concept, we now merge the derivative concept into a single chapter. We reorganized and increased the number of related rates examples, and we added new examples and exercises on graphing rational functions.

Preface

• Antiderivatives and Integration We maintain the organization of the eleventh edition in placing antiderivatives as the rmal topic of the chapter covering applications of derivatives. Our focus is on ''recovering a function from its derivative" as the solution to the simplest type offirst-order differential equation. Integrals, as "limits of Riemann sums," motivated primarily by the problem of rmding the areas of general regions with curved boundaries, are a new topic fanning the substance of Chapter 5. After carefully developing the integral concept, we turn our attention to its evaluation and connection to antiderivatives captured in the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The ensuing applications then define the various geometric ideas of area, volume, lengths of paths, and centroids all as limits of Riemann sums giving definite integrals, which can be evaluated by finding an antiderivative ofthe integrand. We return later to the topic of solving more complicated first-order differential equations, after we derme and establish the transcendental functions and their properties. • Differential Equations Some universities prefer that this subject be treated in a course separate from calculus. Although we do cover solutions to separable differential equations when treating exponential growth and decay applications in the chapter on transcendental functions, we organize the bulk of our material into two chapters (which may be omitted for the calculus sequence). We give an introductory treatment of first-order differential equations in Chapter 9, including a new section on systems and phase planes, with applications to the competitive-hunter and predator-prey models. We present an introduction to second-order differential equations in Chapter 17, which is included in MyMathLab as well as the Thomas' Calculus Web site, www.pearsonhighered.com/thomas. • Series We retain the organizational structure and content ofthe eleventh edition for the topics of sequences and series. We have added several new figures and exercises to the various sections, and we revised some of the proofs related to convergence of power series in order to improve the accessibility of the material for students. The request stated by one of our users as, "anything you can do to make this material easier for students will be welcomed by our faculty;' drove our thinking for revisions to this chapter. • Parametric Equations Several users requested that we move this topic into Chapter II, where we also cover polar coordinates and conic sections. We have done this, realizing that many departments choose to cover these topics at the beginning of Calculus m, in preparation for their coverage ofvectors and multivariable calculus. • Vector-Valued Functions We streamlined the topics in this chapter to place more emphasis on the conceptual ideas supporting the later material on partial derivatives, the gradient vector, and line integrals. We condensed the discussions of the Frenet frame and Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. • Multivariahle Calculus We have further enhanced the art in these chapters, and we have added many new figures, examples, and exercises. We reorganized the opening material on double integrals, and combined the applications of double and triple integrals to masses and moments into a single section covering both two- and threedimensional cases. This reorganization allows for better flow of the key mathematical concepts, together with their properties and computational aspects. As with the eleventh edition, we continue to make the coonections of multivariable ideas with their single-variable analogues studied earlier in the book. • Vector Fields We devoted considerable effort to improving the clarity and mathematical precision of our treatment of vector integral calculus, including many additional examples, figures, and exercises. Important theorems and results are stated more clearly and completely, together with enhanced explanations of their hypotheses and mathematical consequences. The area of a surface is now organized into a single section, and surfaces defined implicitly or explicitly are treated as special cases of the more general parametric representation. Surface integrals and their applications then follow as a separate section. Stokes' Theorem and the Divergence Theorem are still presented as generalizations of Green's Theorem to three dimensions.

EXERCISES AND EXAMPLES We know that the exercises and examples are critical components in learning calculus. Because of this importance, we have updated, improved, and increased the number of exercises in nearly every section of the book. There are over 700 new exercises in this edition. We continue our organization and grouping of exercises by topic as in earlier editions, progressing from computational problems to applied and theoretical problems. Exercises requiring the use of computer software systems (such as Maple® or Mathematica®) are placed at the end of each exercise section, labeled Computer Explorations. Most of the applied exercises have a subheading to indicate the kind of application addressed in the problem. Many sections include new examples to clarify or deepen the meaning of the topic being discussed, and to help students understand its mathematical consequences or applications to science and engineering. At the same time, we have removed examples that were a repetition of material already presented. ART Because of their importance to learning calculus, we have continued to improve existing figures in Thomas' Calculus and we have created a significant number of new ones. We continue to use color consistently and pedagogically to enhance the conceptual idea that is being illustrated. We have also taken a fresh look at all of the figure captions, paying considerable attention to clarity and precision in short statements.

Polar Coordinates

In this section we study polar coordinates and their relation to Cartesian coordinates. You will see that polar coordinates are very useful for calculating many multiple integrals studied in Chapter 15.

FIGURE 11.18 To derme polar coordinates for the plane, we start with an

origin, called the pole, and an initial ray.

Definition of Polar Coordinates To derme polar coordinates, we first fix an origin 0 (called the pole) and an initial ray from 0 (Figure 11.18). Then each point P can be located by assigning to it a polar coordinate pair (r, II) in which r gives the directed distance from 0 to P and II gives the directed angie from the initial ray tu ray OP.

Directed angle from initial ray to OP

As in trigonometry, II is positive when measured counterclockwise and negative when measured clockwise. The angie associated with a given point is not unique. While a point in the plane has just one pair of Cartesian coordinates, it has infinitely many pairs ofpolar coordinates. For instance, the point 2 units from the origin along the ray II = 1r/6 has polar coordinates r = 2, II = 1r/6. It also has coordinates r = 2, II = -1l1r/6 (Figure 11.19). In some situations we allow r to be negative. That is why we use directed distance in derming P(r, II). The point P(2, 71r/6) can be reached by turning 71r/6 radians counterclockwise from the initial ray and going forward 2 units (Figure 11.20). It can also be reached by turning 1r/6 radians counterclockwise from the initial ray and going backward 2 units. So the point also has polar coordinates r = -2, II = 1r/6.

Find all the polar coordinates of the point P(2, 1r/6).

Solution We sketch the initial ray of the coordinate system, draw the ray from the origin that makes an angie of 1r/6 radians with the initial ray, and mark the point (2, 1r/6) (Figure 11.21). We then find the angies for the other coordinate pairs of P in which r = 2 andr = -2. For r = 2, the complete list of angles is 7T

Polar Equations and Graphs If we hold r fixed at a constant value r = a oF O. the point P(r, 6) will lie Ia Iunits from the origin O. As 8 varies over any interval ofiength 2"., P then traces a circle of radius Ia I centered at 0 (Figure 11.22). If we hold 6 fixed at a constant value 6 = 60 and let r vary between - 00 and 00, the point P(r, 6) traces the line through 0 that makes an angle of measure 60 with the initial ray.

The first two of these equations uniquely determine the Cartesian coordinates x and y given the polar coordinates r and O. On the other hand, if x and y are given, the third equation gives two possible choices for r (a positive and a negative value). For each (x,y) oF (0,0), there is a unique 0 E [0, 2".) satisfying the first two equations, each then giving a polar coordinate representation ofthe Cartesian point (x, y). The other polar coordinate representations for the point can be determined from these two, as in Example I.

Graphing in PoLar Coordinates It is often helpful to have the graph of an equation in polar coordinates. This section describes techniques for graphing these equations using symmetries and tangents to the graph.

Symmetry Figure 11.26 illustrates the standard polar coordinate tests for symmetry. The following summary says how the symmetric points are related.

Symmetry Tests for Polar Graph.

1. Symmetry about the x-axis: If the point (r, 0) lies on the graph, then the point (r, -0) or (-r, '11' - 0) lies on the graph (Figure 11.26a). 2. Symmetry about the y-axis: If the point (r, 0) lies on the graph, then the point (r, '11' - 0) or (-r, -0) lies on the graph (Figure 11.26b). 3. Symmetry about the origin: If the point (r, 0) lies on the graph, then the point (-r, 0) or (r, 0 + '11') lies on the graph (Figure 11.26c).

The slope of a polar curve r = 1(0) in the xy-plane is still given by dy/dx, which is not r' = dl/dO. To see why, think of the graph of I as the graph of the parametric equations

I

dy dx (0, B,) =

!' (00) sin 00 !' (00) cos 00

= tan 00'

If the graph of r = 1(0) passes through the origin at the value 0 = 00, the slope of the curve there is tan 00. The reason we say "slope at (0, (0)" and not just "slope at the origin" is that a polar curve may pass through the origin (or any point) more than once, with different slopes at different O-values. This is not the case in our first example, however.

EXAMPLE 1 Solution

Graph the curve r = I - cos O.

The curve is symmetric about the x-axis because

(r, 0) on the graph => r = I - cos 0 => r = I - cos ( -0) => (r, -0) on the graph.

As 0 increases from 0 to 1T, cos 0 decreases from I to -I, and r = I - cos 0 increases from a minimum value of 0 to a maximum value of 2. As 0 continues on from 1T to 21T, cos 0 increases from -I back to 1 and r decreases from 2 back to O. The curve starts to repeat when 0 = 21T because the cosine bas period 21T . The curve leaves the origin with slope tan (0) = 0 and returns to the origin with slope tan (21T) = O. We make a table ofvalues from 0 = 0 to 0 = 1T, plot the points, draw a smooth curve through them with a horizontal tangent at the origin, and reflect the curve across the x-axis to complete the graph (Figure 11.27). The curve is called a cardioid because of its heart shape. _

Together, these two symmetries imply symmetry about the y-axis. The curve passes through the origin when 0 = -1T/2 and 0 = 1T/2. It has a vertical tangent both times because tan 0 is infinite. For each value of 0 in the interval between -1T/2 and 1T/2, the formula r 2 = 4 cos 0 gives two values of r: r = ±2Ycos O.

We make a short table of values, plot the corresponding points, and use information about symmetry and tangents to guide us in connecting the points with a smooth curve (Figure 11.28).

Chapter 11: Parametric Equations and Polar Coordinates

A Technique for Graphing

,2

One way to graph a polar equation r = /(6) is to make a tahle of (r, 6)-values, plot the corresponding points, and connect them in order of increasing 6. This can work well if enough points have been plotted to reveal all the loops and dimples in the graph. Another method of graphing that is usually quicker and more reliable is to

1.

flISt graph r = /(6) in the Cartesian r6-plane,

2.

then use the Cartesian graph as a "table" and guide to sketch the polar coordinate graph.

No square roots of negative numbers

This method is better than simple point plotting because the first Cartesian graph, even when hastily drawn, shows at a glance where r is positive, negative, and nonexistent, as well as where r is increasing and decreasing. Here's an example.

Graph the lemniscate curve

r 2 = sin26.

We pass from there to the graph of r = ± sin 26 in the rIJ-plane (Figure lI.29b), and then draw the polar graph (Figure lI.29c). The graph in Figure 11.29b "covers" the final polar graph in Figure 11.29c twice. We could have managed with either loop alone, with the two upper halves, or with the two lower halves. The double covering does no harm, however, and we actually learn a little more about the behavior of the function this way. •

Conic Sections In this seelioo we def'me and review parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas geometrically and derive their standard Cartesian equations. These curves are called conic sections or conics because they are formed by cutting a double cooe with a plane (Figure 11.36). This geometry method was the only WH:f they could be described by Greek mathematicians who did not have our tools of Cartesian or polar coordinates. In the next section we express the conics in polar coordinates.

Parabolas DEFINmONS A set that coosists of all the points in a plane equidistant from a given f'lXed point and a given fixed line in the plane is a parabola. The fixed point is the focus of the parabola. The fixed line is the directrix.

FIGURE 11.36 The standard conic sections (a) are the curves in which a plane cuts a double cone. Hyperbolas come in two parts, called branches. The point and lines obtained by passing the plane through the cone's vertex (b) are degenerate conic sections.

If the focus F lies on the directrix L, the parabola is the line through F perpendicular to y

L. We consider this to be a degenerate case and assume henceforth that F does not lie on L. A parabola has its simplest equation when its focus and directrix straddle one of the coordinate axes. For example, suppose that the focus lies at the point F(O, p) on the positive y-axis and that the directrix is the line y = -p (Figure 11.37). In the notation of the figure, a point P(x, y) lies on the parabola if and only if PF = PQ. From the distance formula,

These equations reveal the parabola's symmetry about the y-axis. We call the y-axis the axis of the parabola (short for "axis of symmetry"). The point where a parabola crosses its axis is the vertex. The vertex of the parabola x 2 = 4py lies at the origin (Figure 11.37). The positive number p is the parabola's focal length.

DEFINmONS An ellipse is the set of points in a plane whose distances from two fixed points in the plane have a constant sum. The two fixed points are the foci of the ellipse. The line through the foci of an ellipse is the ellipse's focal axis. The point on the axis halfway between the foci is the center. The points where the focal axis and ellipse cross are the ellipse's vertices (Figure 11.39).

If the foci are FI( -c, 0) andF2(c, 0) (Figure 11.40), and PFt + PF2 is denoted by 2a, then the coordinates of a point P on the ellipse satisfY the equation

Y(x + c)2 + y2 + Y(x - c)2 + y2

=

2a.

642

Chapter 11: Parametric Equations and Polar Coordinates To simplify this equation, we move the second radical to the right-hand side, square, isolate the remaining radical, and square again, obtaining

x2

-2 + a

y2 2

2 = 1.

(2)

Since PFI + PF2 is greater than the length FIF2 (by the triangle inequality for triangle PFIF2), the number 2a is greater than 2c. Accordingly, a > c and the number a2 - c 2 in Equation (2) is positive. The algebraic steps leading to Equation (2) can be reversed to show that every point P whose coordinates satisfy an equation ofthis form with 0 < c < a also satisfies the equation PFI + PF2 = 2a. A point therefore lies on the ellipse if and only if its coordinates satisfy Equation (2). If

Equation (4) reveals that this ellipse is symmetric with respect to the origin and both coordinate axes. It lies inside the rectangle bounded by the lines x = ±a and y = ±b. It crosses the axes at the points (±a, 0) and (0, ±b). The tangents at these points are perpendicular to the axes because

The minor axis is the line segment of length 2b joining the points (0, ±b). The number a itself is the semimajor axis, the number b the semiminor axis. The number c, found from Equation (3) as

Hyperbolas DEFINmONS

A hyperbola is the set of points in a plane whose distances

from two fixed points in the plane have a constant difference. The two f"1xed

points are the foci ofthe hyperbola. The line through the foci of a hyperbola is the focal axis. The point on the axis halfway between the foci is the hyperbola's center. The points where the focal axis and hyperbola cross are the vertices (Figure 11.42).

Points on the focal axis of

FIGURE 11.42

a hyperbola.

If the foci are F,( -e, 0) and F2(e, 0) (Figure 11.43) and the constant difference is 2a, then a point (x, y) lies on the hyperbola if and only if (7)

y x=-a

x=a

To simplifY this equation, we move the second radical to the right-hand side, square, isolate the remaining radical, and square again, obtaining (8)

From this, we find that Ice = a(1 - e 2 ). Replacing Ice in Equation (5) by a(1 - e 2 ) gives the standard polar equation for an ellipse. Polar Equation for the Ellipse with Eccentricity e and Semimajor AD. a a(1 - e 2 ) r = 1 + e cos 6

(6)

Notice that when e = 0, Equation (6) becomes r = a, which represents a circle.

Lines Suppose the perpendicular from the origin to line L meets L at the point Po(ro, 1J0), with ro 2: 0 (Figure 11.51). Then, if P(r, IJ) is any other point on L, the points P, Po, and 0 are the vertices of a right triangle, from which we can read the relation

ro = rcos(1J - 1J0).

The Standard Polar Equation for Line. If the point Po(ro, 1J0) is the foot of the perpendicular from the origin to the line L, and ro 2: 0, then an equation for L is

We can obtain a polar equation for line L by reading 1he relation ro ~ r cos (0 - 00 ) from 1he right triaogle

r cos (IJ - 1J0) = ro.

Circles To find a polar equation for the circle ofradius a centered at Po(ro, 1J0), we let P(r, IJ) be a point on the circle and apply the Law ofCosines to triangle opoP (Figure I1.5Z). This gives

a 2 = a 2 + r 2 - Zarcos (IJ - 1J0) r 2 = Zar cos (IJ - 1J0) r = Za cos (IJ - 1J0).

If the circle's center lies on the positive x-axis, 1J0 = 0 and we get the further simplification r = Za cos IJ.

If the center lies on the positive y-axis, 8 = 7T/2,cos(8 - 7T/2) = sin8, and the equation r = 2a cos (8 - (0) becomes

I_v_e_ct_or_s- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Some of the things we measure are determined simply by their magnitudes. To record mass, length, or time, for example, we need only write down a number and name an appropriate unit ofmeasure. We need more information to describe a force, displacement, or velocity. To describe a force, we need to record the direction in which it acts as well as how large it is. To describe a body's displacement, we have to say in what direction it moved as well as how far. To describe a body's velocity, we have to know where the body is headed as well as how fast it is going. In this section we show how to represent thiogs that have both magnitude and direction in the plane or in space. Terminal point B

FIGURE 12.7 The directed line segment

AB is called a vector.

Component Form A quantity such as force, displacement, or velocity is called a vector and is represented by a directed line segment (Fignre 12.7). The arrow points in the direction of the action and its length gives the magnitude of the action in terms of a suitably chosen unit. For example, a force vector points in the direction in which the force acts and its length is a measure of the force's strength; a velocity vector points in the direction of motion and its length is the speed of the moving object.

DEFINmONS The vector represented by the directed line segmen.!....AB has initial point A and terminal point B and its length is denoted by lABI. Two vectors are equal if they have the same length and direction.

The arrows we use when we draw vectors are understood to represent the same vector if they have the same length, are parallel, and point in the same direction (Fignre 12.9) regardless ofthe initial point. In textbooks, vectors are usually written in lowercase, boldface letters, for example u, v, and w. Sometimes we use uppercase boldface letters, such as F, to denote a force vector. In handwritten form, it is customary to draw small arrows above the letters, for example ii,

v,w,andF. FIGURE 12.10 A vector PQ io standard position has its initial point ~the origin. The directed lioe segments PQ and v are

parallel and have the same length.

We need a way to represent vectors algebraically so that we can be more precise shout the direction of a vector. Let v = PQ. There is one directed line segment equal to PQ whose initial point is the origin (Fignre 12.10). It is the representative ofv in standard position and is the vector we normally use to represent v. We can specify v by writing the

666

Chapter 12: Vectors and the Geometry of Space

coordinates of its terminal point (v" V2, v,) when v is in standard position. Ifv is a vector in the plane its terminal point (V" V2) has two coordinates.

DEFINmON If v is a two-dimensional vector in the plane equal to the vector with initial point at the origin and terminal point (V" V2), then the component form of v is v = (V" V2).

Ifv is a three-dimensional vector equal to the vector with initial point at the origin and terminal point (V" V2, v,), then the componentform ofv is v = (V" V2, v,).

So a two-dimensional vector is an ordered pair v = (v" V2) of real numbers, and a three-dimensional vector is an ordered triple v = (V" V2, v,) of real numbers. The numV2, and are the components ofv. bers If v = (V" V2, v,) is represented by the directed line segment PQ, where the initial point is P(x"y" Z,) and the terminal point is Q(X2,Y2, Z2), then Xl + VI = X2, Yl + V2 = Y2, and ZI + = Z2 (see Figure 12.10). Thus, VI = X2 - X" V2 = Y2 - YI, and = Z2 - Zl are the components of PQ. In summary, given the points P(x" Y" Zl) and Q(X2,Y2, Z2), the standard position vector v = (v" V2, v,) equal to PQ is

v"

v,

v,

v = (X2 - X"Y2 - y"Z2 - ZI).

If v is two-dimensional with P(X"YI) and Q(X2,Y2) as points in the plane, then v = (X2 - X" Y2 - Yl). There is no third component for planar vectors. With this understanding, we will develop the algebra of three-dimensional vectors and simply drop the third component when the vector is tw-dimensional (a planar vector). Two vectors are equal if and only if their standard position vectors are identical. Thus (u" U2, u,) and (V" V2, v,) are equal if and only iful = v" U2 = V2, and u, = v,. The magnitude or length of the vector PQ is the length of any of its equivalent directed line segment representations. In particular, ifv = (X2 - X" Y2 - Y" Z2 - Zl) is the standard position vector for PQ, then the distance formula gives the magnitude or length of v, denoted by the symbollvl orllvll.

Solution Ifu = the velocity of the airplane alone and v = the velocity of the tailwind, then lui = 500 and Ivl = 70 (Figure 12.17). The velocity of the airplane with respect to the ground is given by the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector u + v. Ifwe let the positive x-axis represent east and the positive y-axis represent north, then the component fonus of u and v are u = (500,0)

FIGURE 12.19 The magnitude of the force F in the direction ofvector v is the length IFI cos 0 of the projection ofF ontov.

If a force F is applied to a particle moving along a path, we often need to know the magnitode ofthe force in the direction ofmotion. Ifv is parallel to the tangent line to the path at the point where F is applied, then we want the magnitode ofF in the direction ofv. Figure 12.19 shows that the scalar quantity we seek is the length IFI cosO, where 0 is the angle between the two vectors F and v. In this section we show how to calcolate easily the angle between two vectors directly from their components. A key part of the calcolation is an expression called the dot product. Dot products are also called inner or scalar products because the product results in a scalar, not a vector. After investigating the dot product, we apply it to finding the projection ofone vector onto another (as displayed in Figure 12.19) and to finding the work done by a constant force acting through a displacement.

Angle Between Vectors When two nonzero vectors u and v are placed so their initial points coincide, they form an angle 0 of measure 0 ,,; 0 ,,; 1f (Figure 12.20). If the vectors do not lie along the same line, the angle 0 is measured in the plane containing both of them. If they do lie along the same line, the angle between them is 0 if they point in the same direction and 1f if they point in opposite directions. The angle 0 is the angle between u and v. Theorem I gives a fonnula to detennine this angle.

Torque When we tum a bolt by applying a force F to a wrench (Figure 12.32), we produce a torque that causes the bolt to rotate. The torque vector points in the direction ofthe axis of the bolt according to the right-hand rule (so the rotation is counterclockwise when viewed from the tip of the vector). The magnitude of the torque depends on how far out on the wrench the force is applied and on how much of the force is perpendicular to the wrench at the point of application. The number we use to measure the torque's magnitude is the product of the length of the lever arm r and the scalar component of F perpendicular to r. In the notation of Figure 12.32, Component of F perpendicular to r. Its length is IFI sin ~

FIGURE 12.32 The torque vector describes the tendency of the force F to drive the bolt forward.

Recall that we defined u X v to be 0 when u and v are parallel. This is consistent with the torque interpretation as well. If the force F in Figure 12.32 is parallel to the wrench, meaning that we are trying to tum the bolt by pushing or pulling along the line of the wrench's handle, the torque produced is zero.

Because of this geometry, (u X v)· w is also called the hox product ofu, v, and w. By treating the planes of v and w and of w and u as the base planes of the parallelepiped detennined by u, v, and w, we see that

(11 X v)· w

= (v X w)· u = (w X u)· v.

In the plane, a line is detennined by a point and a number giving the slope of the line. In space a line is detennined by a point and a veclor giving the direction of the line. Suppose that L is a line in space passing through a point Po(xo, Yo, zo) paralle.!10 a vector v = v,i + v2j + V3k. Then !:...is the set of all points P(x, y, z) for which PoP is parallel to v (Figure 12.35). Thus, PoP = tv for some scalar parameter I. The value of I depends on the location of the point P along the line, and the domain of I is (- 00, 00). The expanded form ofthe equation P--;P = tv is

(x - xo)i + (y - Yo)j + (z - zo)k FIGURE 12.35 A point P lies on L through Po parallel to v if and only if P-;P is a scalar multiple ofv.

which can be rewritten as

(1)

Ifr(l) is the position vector ofa pointP(x,y, z) on the line and ro is the position vector of the point Po(xo, Yo, zo), then Equation (I) gives the following vector form for the equation of a line in space.

Vector Equation for a line A vector equation for the line L through Po(XO, Yo, zo) parallel to v is r(l) = ro

where r is the position vector of a point P(x, y, z) on L and ro is the position vector of Po(xo, Yo, zo).

Equating the corresponding components of the two sides of Equation (I) gives three scalar equations involving the parameter I:

y=YO+ IV2,

These equations give us the standard parametrization of the line for the parameter interval -00

O. the scalar multiple (1/al)(r(1 + al) - r(I» As al ..... O. this vector approaches a vector points in the same direction as the vector that is tangent to the curve atP (Figure 13.5b). The vector r'(I). when different from O. is defined to be the vector tangent to the curve at P. The tangent line to the curve at a point (f(lo). g(lo). h(lo» is defined to be the line through the point parallel to r'(lo). We require drI dl "" 0 for a smooth curve to make sure the curve has a continuously turning tangent at each point. On a smooth curve. there are no sharp corners or cusps. A curve that is made up of a finite number of smooth curves pieced together in a continuous fashion is called piecewise smootb (Figure 13.6). Look once again at Figure 13.5. We drew the figure for al positive. so ar points forward, in the direction of the motion. The vector arlal. having the same direction as ar. points forward too. Had M been negative. ar would have pointed backward. against the direction ofmotion. The quotient arI al. however. being a negative scalar multiple of ar. would once again have pointed forward. No matter how ar points. arlal points forward and we expect the vector dr/dl = lim4t-+O arl M. when different from O. to do the same. This means that the derivative drI dl. which is the rate of change ofposition with respect to time. always points in the direction ofmotion. For a smooth curve. drI dl is never zero; the particle does not stop or reverse direction.

DEFINmONS If r is the position vector of a particle moving along a smooth curve in space, then dr V(I) = dl is the particle's velocity vector, tangent to the curve. At any time I, the direction of v is the direction of motion, the magnitude of v is the particle's speed, and the derivative a = dv/dl, when it eJcists, is the particle's acceleration veetor. In

summary, dr v = dl'

Vector Functions of Constant Length When we tmck a particle moving on a sphere centered at the origin (Figure 13.8), the position vector has a constant length equal to the radius ofthe sphere. The velocity vector dr/tit, taDgen1 to the path ofmotion, is tangent to the sphere and hence perpendicular to r. This is always the case for a differentiable vector function of constant length: The vector and its Imt derivative are orthogonal. By direct calculation,

Integrals of Vector Functions: Projectile Motion In this section we investigate integrals of vector functions and their application to motion along a path in space or in the plane.

Integrals of Vector Functions A differentiable vector function R(I) is an antiderivative of a vector function r(1) on an interval I if dR/ dl = r at each point of 1. If R is an antiderivative of r on I, it can be shown, working one component at a time, that every antiderivative of r on I has the form R + C for some constant vector C (Exercise 41). The set of all antiderivatives of r on I is the iudeUnite integral of r on 1.

DEFINmON The indef"mite integral of r with respect to I is the set of all antiderivatives ofr, denoted by r(l) dl. IfR is any antiderivative ofr, then

A classic example of integrating vector functions is the derivation of the equations for the motion of a projectile. In physics, projectile motion describes how an object f'rred at some angle from an initial position, and acted upon by only the force of gravity, moves in a vertical coordinate plane. In the classic example, we ignore the effects of any frictional drag on the object, which may vary with its speed and altitode, and also the fact that the force of gravity changes slightly with the projectile's changing height. In addition, we ignore the long-distance effects of the Earth torning beneath the projectile, such as in a rocket launch or the f'tring of a projectile from a cannon. Ignoring these effects gives us a reasonable approximation of the motion in most cases. To derive equations for projectile motion, we assume that the projectile behaves like a particle moving in a vertical coordinate plane and that the only force acting on the projectile during its flight is the constant force of gravity, which always points straight down. We assume that the projectile is launched from the origin at time I = 0 into the f'rrst quadrant with an initial velocity Vo (Figure 13.10). Ifvo makes an angle a with the horizontal, then Vo = (lvolcosa)1

Chapter 13: Vector-Valued Functions and Motion in Space Among the vectors orthogonal to the unit tangent vector T is one of particular significance because it points in the direction in which the curve is turning. Since T has constant length (namely, I), the derivative dT/ds is orthogonal to T (Equation 4, Section 13.1). Therefore, if we divide dT/ tis by its length K, we obtain a unil vector N orthogonal to T (Figure 13.19).

The vector dT/ tis points in the direction in which T turns as the curve bends. Therefore, if we face in the direction ofincreasing arc length, the vector dT/tis points toward the right if T turns clockwise and toward the left if T turns counterclockwise. In other words, the principal normal vector N will point toward the concave side of the curve (Fignre 13.19). If a smooth curve r(l) is already given in terms of some parameter I other than the arc length parameter s, we can use the Chain Rule to calculate N directly:

14 PARTIAL DERIVATIVES OVERVIEW Many functions depend on more than one independent variable. For instance, the volume of a right circular cylinder is a function V == 7rr 2h of its radius and its height, so it is a function VCr, h) of two variables rand h. In this chapter we extend the basic ideas of single variable calculus to functions of several variables. Their derivatives are more varied and interesting because of the different ways the variables can interact. The applications of these derivatives are also more varied than for single-variable calculus, and in the next chapter we will see that the same is true for integrals involving several variables.

14.1

Functions of Several Variables In this section we define functions of more than one independent variable and discuss ways to graph them. Real-valued functions of several independent real variables are defined similarly to functions in the single-variable case. Points in the domain are ordered pairs (triples, quadruples, n-tuples) of real numbers, and values in the range are real numbers as we have worked with all along.

DEFINITIONS Suppose D is a set ofn-tuples of real numbers (Xl, X2, ... , x n ). A real-valued function f on D is a rule that assigns a unique (single) real number w

==

f(xl,

X2, ... ,

xn )

to each element in D. The set D is the function's domain. The set of w-values taken on by f is the function's range. The symbol w is the dependent variable of f, and f is said to be a function of the n independent variables Xl to X n . We also call the Xj'S the function's input variables and call w the function's output variable.

If f is a function oftwo independent variables, we usually call the independent variables X and y and the dependent variable z, and we picture the domain of f as a region in the xy-plane (Figure 14.1). If f is a function of three independent variables, we call the independent variables x, y, and z and the dependent variable w, and we picture the domain as a region in space. In applications, we tend to use letters that remind us of what the variables stand for. To say that the volume of a right circular cylinder is a function of its radius and height, we might write V == f(r, h). To be more specific, we might replace the notation fer, h) by the formula that calculates the value of V from the values of rand h, and write V == 7rr 2h. In either case, rand h would be the independent variables and V the dependent variable of the function.

Domains and Ranges In defining a function ofmore than one variable, we follow the usual practice of excluding inputs that lead to complex numbers or division by zero. If j(x,y) = x 2,y cannot 2 be less than x . If j(x,y) = I/(xy),xy cannot be zero. The domain of a function is assumed to be the largest set for which the defining rule generates real numbers, unless the domain is otherwise specified explicitly. The range consists of the set of output values for the dependent variable.

Fundions of Two Variables Regions in the plane can have interior points and boundary points just like intervals on the real line. Closed intervals [a, b] include their boundary points, open intervals (a, b) don't include their boundary points, and intervals such as [a, b) are neither open nor closed.

DEFINmONS A point (xo, YO) in a region (set) R in the .lJ'-plane is an interior point of R if it is the center of a disk of positive radius tbat lies entirely in R (Figure 14.2). A point (xo, YO) is a boundary point of R if every disk centered at (xo, YO) contains points tbat lie outside of R as well as points tbat lie in R. (The boundary point itself need not belong to R.) The interior points of a region, as a set, make up the interior of the region. The region's boundary points make up its boundary. A region is open ifit consists entirely of interior points. A region is closed if it contains all its boundary points (Figure 14.3).

As with a half-open interval of real numbers [a, b), some regions in the plane are neither open nor closed. If you start with the open disk in Figure 14.3 and add to it some of but not all its boundary points, the resulting set is neither open nor closed. The boundary points tbat are there keep the set from being open. The absence of the remaining boundary points keeps the set from being closed.

DEFINmONS A region in the plane is bounded if it lies inside a disk ofrlXed radius. A region is unbounded if it is not bounded.

y Interior points, wherey - x 2 > 0

Examples of bounded sets in the plane include line segments, triangles, interiors of triangles, rectangles, circles, and disks. Examples of unbounded sets in the plane include lines, coordinate axes, the graphs of functions defined on infinite intervals, quadrants, half-planes, and the plane itself.

Graphs, Level Curves, and Contours of Functions of Two Variables There are two standard ways to picture the values of a function fix, y). One is to draw and label curves in the domain on which f has a constant value. The other is to sketch the surface z = fix, y) in space.

Chapter 14: Partial Derivatives

DEFINITIONS The set of points in the plane where a function f(x, y) has a constant value f(x, y) == c is called a level curve of f. The set of all points (x, y, f(x, y)) in space, for (x, y) in the domain of f, is called the graph of f. The graph of f is also called the surface z = f(x,y). EXAM PLE 3 Graph f(x, y) == 100 - X 2 - Y 2 and plot the level curves f(x, y) f(x,y) == 51,andf(x,y) == 75 in the domain off in the plane.

0,

SoLution The domain of f is the entire xy-plane, and the range of f is the set of real numbers less than or equal to 100. The graph is the paraboloid z == 100 - x 2 - y2, the positive portion of which is shown in Figure 14.5. The level curve f(x, y) == 0 is the set of points in the xy-plane at which f(x,y) == 100 - x 2 - y2 == 0, or x 2 + y2 == 100,

which is the circle of radius 10 centered at the origin. Similarly, the level curves f(x, y) == 51 and f(x, y) == 75 (Figure 14.5) are the circles f(x,y) == 100 - x 2 - y2 == 51, or x 2 + y2 == 49 f(x,y) == 100 - x 2 - y2 == 75, or x 2 + y2 == 25. The level curve f(x, y) == 100 consists of the origin alone. (It is still a level curve.) If x 2 + y2 > 100, then the values of f(x, y) are negative. For example, the circle 2 x + y2 == 144, which is the circle centered at the origin with radius 12, gives the constant value f(x, y) == -44 and is a level curve of f. • The curve in space in which the plane z == c cuts a surface z == f(x, y) is made up of the points that represent the function value f(x, y) == c. It is called the contour curve f(x, y) == c to distinguish it from the level curve f(x, y) == c in the domain of f. Figure 14.6 shows the contour curve f(x,y) == 75 on the surface z == 100 - x 2 - y2 defined by the function f(x, y) == 100 - x 2 - y2. The contour curve lies directly above the circle x 2 + y2 == 25, which is the level curve f(x, y) == 75 in the function's domain. Not everyone makes this distinction, however, and you may wish to call both kinds of curves by a single name and rely on context to convey which one you have in mind. On most maps, for example, the curves that represent constant elevation (height above sea level) are called contours, not level curves (Figure 14.7).

Functions of Three Variables In the plane, the points where a function of two independent variables has a constant value f(x, y) == c make a curve in the function's domain. In space, the points where a function of three independent variables has a constant value f(x, y, z) == c make a surface in the function's domain.

FIGURE 14.6 A plane z = c parallel to the xy-plane intersecting a surface z = j(x, y) produces a contour curve.

DEFINITION The set of points (x, y, z) in space where a function of three independent variables has a constant value f(x, y, z) == c is called a level surface off· Since the graphs of functions ofthree variables consist of points (x,y, z, f(x,y, z)) lying in a four-dimensional space, we cannot sketch them effectively in our three-dimensional frame of reference. We can see how the function behaves, however, by looking at its threedimensional level surfaces.

Functions of Several Variables

~Y

The value of f is the distance from the origin to the point (x, y, z). Each level surface Yx 2 + Y 2 + z 2 == c, c > 0, is a sphere ofradius c centered at the origin. Figure 14.8 2 shows a cutaway view of three of these spheres. The level surface + y2 + z2 == 0 consists of the origin alone. We are not graphing the function here; we are looking at level surfaces in the function's domain. The level surfaces show how the function's values change as we move through its domain. If we remain on a sphere of radius c centered at the origin, the function maintains a constant value, namely c. If we move from a point on one sphere to a point on another, the function's value changes. It increases if we move away from the origin and decreases if we move toward the origin. The way the values change depends on the direction we take. The dependence of change on direction is important. We return to it in Section 14.5. • SoLution

The definitions of interior, boundary, open, closed, bounded, and unbounded for regions in space are similar to those for regions in the plane. To accommodate the extra dimension, we use solid balls of positive radius instead of disks.

DEFI NITIO NS

A point (xo, Yo, zo) in a region R in space is an interior point of

R if it is the center of a solid ball that lies entirely in R (Figure 14.9a). A point

(xo, Yo, zo) is a boundary point of R if every solid ball centered at (xo, Yo, zo) contains points that lie outside of R as well as points that lie inside R (Figure 14.9b). The interior of R is the set of interior points of R. The boundary of R is the set of boundary points of R. A region is open if it consists entirely of interior points. A region is closed if it contains its entire boundary.

Examples of open sets in space include the interior of a sphere, the open half-space z > 0, the first octant (where x, y, and z are all positive), and space itself. Examples of closed sets in space include lines, planes, and the closed half-space z ~ O. A solid sphere

752

Chapter 14: PartiaL Derivatives with part of its boundary removed or a solid cube with a missing face, edge, or comer point is neither open nor closed. Functions of more than three independent variables are also important. For example, the temperature on a surface in space may depend not only on the location of the point p(x, y, z) on the swface but also on the time t when it is visited, 80 we would write T = j(x, y, z, t).

computer Graphing Three-dimensional graphing programs for computers and calculators make it possible to graph functions of two variables with only a few keystrokes. We can often get information more quickly from a graph than from a formula. w

EXAMPLE 5 The temperature w beneath the Earth's surface is a function ofthe depth x beneath the swface and the time t of the year. If we measure x in feet and t as the number of days elapsed:from the expected date of the yearly highest surface temperature, we can model the variation in temperature with the function w = cos (1.7 X 1O-2t - O.2x)e--o·~.

FIGURE 14.10 This graph shows the seasonal variation of the temperature below ground as a fraction of surface ~ (Exampl, 5).

(The temperature at 0 ft is scaled to vary from +I to -I, so that the variation atx feet can be inteIpreted as a :fraction of the variation at the surface.) Figure 14.10 shows a graph of the function. At a depth of 15 ft, the variation (change in vertical amplitude in the figure) is about 5% of the surface variation. At 25 ft, there is almost no variation during the year. The graph also shows that the temperature 15 ft below the surface is about half a year out of phase with the surface temperature. When the temperature is lOM:st on the surface (late January, say), it is at its highest 15 ft below; Fifteen feet below the ground, the seasons are reversed. _ Figure 14.11 shows computer-generated graphs of a number of functions of two variables together with their level curves.

The Chain Rule for functions of a single variable studied in Section 3.6 says that when w = f(x) is a differentiable function of x and x = g( I) is a differentiable function ofI, w is a differentiable function of I and dw/ dl can be calculated by the formula

dw

dwdx dxdl'

For functions of two or more variables the Chain Rule has several forms. The form depends on how many variables are involved, but once this is taken into account, it works like the Chain Rule in Section 3.6.

Functions of Two Variables The Chain Rule formula for a differentiable function w = f(x,y) when x = X(I) and = y(l) are both differentiable functions of I is given in the following theorem.

However, the meaning of the dependent variable w is different on each side of the preceding equation. On the left-hand side, it refers to the composite function w = f(x(t),y(t» as a function of the single variable t. On the right-hand side, it refers to the function w = f(x,y) as a function of the two variables x andy. Moreover, the single derivatives dw/dt, dl:/dt, and dy/dt are being evaluated at a point to, whereas the partial derivatives aw/ox and ow/oy are being evaluated at the point (xo, Yo), with Xo = x(to) and Yo = y(to). With that understanding, we will use both of these forms interchangeably throughout the text whenever no confusion will arise. The branch diagram in the margin provides a convenient way to remember the Chain Rule. The ''true'' independent variable in the composite function is t, whereas x and y are intermediate variables (controlled by t) and w is the dependent variable. A more precise notation for the Chain Rule shows where the various derivatives in Theorem 5 are evaluated:

For a physical interpretation of change along a curve think of an object whose position is changing with time t. If w = T(x, y, z) is the temperature at each point (x, y, z) along a curve C with parametric equations x = x(t), y = y(t), and z = z(t), then the composite function w = T(x(t),y(t),z(t» represents the temperature relative to t along the curve. The derivative dw/ dt is then the instantaneous rate of change of temperature due to the motion along the curve, as calculated in Theorem 6.

Functions Defined on Surfaces If we are interested in the temperature w = f(x, y, z) at points (x, y, z) on the earth's surface, we might prefer to think of x, y, and z as functions of the variables r and s that give

778

Chapter 14: Partial Derivatives

the points' longitudes and latitudes. If x = g(r, s), y = h(r, s), and z = k(r, s), we could then express the temperature as a function of r and s with the composite function w = f(g(r, s), h(r, s), k(r, s».

Under the conditions stated below, w has partial derivatives with respect to both r and s that can be calculated in the following way.

THEOREM 7-Chain Rule for Two Independent variables and Three Intermed;ate variables Supposetbatw = f(x,y,z),x = g(r,s),y = h(r,s),andz = k(r,s). If all four functions are differentiable, then w has partial derivatives with respect to rands, given by the formulas

Functions of Many Variables We have seen several different forms of the Chain Rule in this section, but each one is just a special case of one general formula. When solving particular problems, it may help to draw the appropriate branch diagram by placing the dependent variable on top, the intermediate variables in the middle, and the selected independent variable at the bottom. To rmd the derivative ofthe dependent variable with respect to the selected independent variable, star! at the dependent variable and read down each route ofthe branch diagram to the independent variable, calculating and multiplying the derivatives along each route. Then add the products found for the different routes. In general, suppose that w = f(x, y, ... , v) is a differentiable function ofthe variables x,y, ... , v (a rmite set) and the x,y, ... , v are differentiable functions of p, q, ... , t (another rmite set). Then w is a differentiable function ofthe variables p through t, and the partial derivatives of w with respect to these variables are given by equations of the form

How to Linearize a Function of Two Variables Functions of two variables can be complicated, and we sometimes need to approximate them with simpler ones that give the accuracy required for specific applications without being so difficult to work with. We do this in a way that is similar to the way we fmd linear replacements for functions of a single variable (Section 3.9).

Ifwe move from (xo, Yo) to any nearby point (x, y) by increments Ax = x - xo and ~y = y - Yo (see Figure 14.35), then the defmition of differentiability from Section 14.3 gives the change

The approximation

I(x,y) "" L(x,y) is the standard linear approximation of I at (xo, Yo).

From Equation (4), we fmd that the plane z = L(x,y) is tangent to the surface z = I(x, y) at the point (xo, Yo). Thus, the linearization of a function of two variables is a tangent-plane approximation in the same way that the linearization of a function of a single variable is a tangent-line approximation. (See Exercise 63.)

and the differential of f as

We now consider the differential of a function oftwo variables. Suppose a differentiable function f(x, y) and its partial derivatives exist at a point (xo, yo). If we move to a nearby point (xo + at,yO + lly), the change in f is

llf

=

f(xo + llx,yo + lly) - f(xo,yo).

A straightforward calculation from the definition of L(x, y), using the notation x - Xo and y - Yo = IIy, shows that the corresponding change in L is llL

FIGURE 14.37 The volume ofcylinder (0) is more sensitive to 0 small change in r than it is to so equally small change in h. The volume of cylinder (b) is more sensitive to small changes in h than it is to small changes in r (Example 8).

Thus, a I-unit change in r will change V by about 250'11' units. A I-unit change in h will change Vby about 25'11' units. The tank's volume is 10 times more sensitive to a small change in r than it is to a small change of equal size in h. As a quality control engineer concerned with being sure the tanks have the correct volume, you would want to pay special attention to their radii. In contrast, if the values of r and h are reversed to make r = 25 and h = 5, then the total differential in Vbecomes

dV

=

(2'11'rh)(2S,5) dr + ('1I'r 2)(2S,5) dh

=

250'11' dr + 625'11' dh.

Now the volume is more sensitive to changes in h than to changes in r (Figure 14.37). The general rule is that functions are most sensitive to small changes in the variables that generate the largest partial derivatives. •

The expression 1",lyy - Ix,? is called the discriminant or Hessian of I. It is sometimes easier to remember it in determinant form,

1",lyy -

M = I~: ~:I·

Theorem 11 says that if the discriminant is positive at the point (a, b), then the surface curves the same way in all directions: downward if I", < 0, giving rise to a local maximum, and upward if I", > 0, giving a local minimum. On the other hand, if the discriminant is negative at (a, b), then the surface curves up in some directions and down in others, so we have a saddle point.

There are no local extreme values (Example 2). (b) Level curves for tlle function j 10 Example 2.

Solution The function is defined and differentiable for all x and y and its domain has no boundary points. The function therefore has extreme values only at the points where Ix and I y are simultaneously zero. This leads to

Therefore, the point ( -2, -2) is the only point where I may take on an extreme value. To see if it does so, we calculate

At the critical point (0, 0) we see that the value of the discriminant is the negative number -72, so the function has a saddle point at the origin. At the critical point (2, 2) we see that the discriminant has the positive value 72. Combining this result with the negative value of the second partial I xx == - 6, Theorem 11 says that the critical point (2, 2) gives a local maximum value of 1(2,2) == 12 - 16 - 12 + 24 == 8. A graph of the surface is shown in Figure 14.45. •

Absolute Maxima and Minima on Closed Bounded Regions We organize the search for the absolute extrema of a continuous function I(x, y) on a closed and bounded region R into three steps.

1.

List the interior points ofR where I may have local maxima and minima and evaluate I at these points. These are the critical points of I.

2.

List the boundary points ofR where I has local maxima and minima and evaluate I at these points. We show how to do this shortly.

3.

Look through the lists for the maximum and minimum values of I. These will be the absolute maximum and minimum values of I on R. Since absolute maxima and minima are also local maxima and minima, the absolute maximum and minimum values of I appear somewhere in the lists made in Steps 1 and 2.

and at the interior points where!, (x, 0) = 2 - 2x = O. The only interior point where !,(x,O) = 0 is x = I, where

l(x,O) = 1(1,0) = 3. ti) On the segment OB, x = 0 and

I(x,y) = I(O,y) = 2

We know from the symmetry of I in x and y and from the analysis we just carried out that the candidates on this segment are

1(0,0) = 2,

1(0,9) = -61,

1(0,1) = 3.

iii) We have already accounted for the values of I at the endpoints ofAB, so we need only look at the interior points of AB. With Y = 9 - x, we have

Summary We list all the candidates: 4, 2, -61,3, -(41/2). The maxilnum is 4, which I assumes at (I, I). The minimum is-61, which I assumes at (0, 9) and (9, 0). • Solving extreme value problems with algebraic constraints on the variables usually requires the method of Lagrange multipliers introduced in the next section. But sometimes we can solve such problems directly, as in the next example.

EXAMPLE 6 A delivery company accepts only rectangular boxes the sum of whose length and girth (perimeter of a cross-section) does not exceed 108 in. Find the dimensions of an acceptable box of largest volume. Let x, y, and z represent the length, width, and height ofthe rectangular box, respectively. Then the girth is 2y + 2z. We want to maximize the volume V = xyz ofthe box (Figure 14.47) satisfying x + 2y + 2z = 108 (the largest box accepted by the delivery company). Thus, we can write the volume of the box as a function of two variables:

Solution Girth = distance

Chapter 14: Partial Derivatives gives the critical points (0, 0), (0, 54), (54, 0), and (18, 18). The volume is zero at (0, 0), (0,54), (54, 0), which are not maximum values. At the point (18, 18), we apply the Second Derivative Test (Theorem II):

Despite the power ofTheorem II, we urge you to remember its limitations. It does not apply to boundary points ofa function's domain, where it is possible for a function to have extreme values along with nonzero derivatives. Also, it does not apply to points where either I x or I y fails to exist.

If the first- and second-order partial derivatives of I are continuous throughout a disk centered at a point (a, b) and fx(a, b) = Iy(a, b) = 0, the natore of I(a, b) can be tested with the Second Derivative Test:

14.9 Taylor's Formula for Two Variables

The f"lISt n derivative terms are evaluated at (a, b). The last term is evaluated at some point (a + ch, b + ck) on the line segment joining (a, b) and (a + h, b + k). If (a, b) = (0, 0) and we treat h and k as independent variables (denoting them now by x and y), then Equation (7) assumes the following simpler form.

The first n derivative terms are evaluated at (0, 0). The last term is evaluated at a point on the line segment joining the origin aod (x, y). Taylor's formula provides polynomial approximations of two-variable functions. The f"lISt n derivative terms give the polynomial; the last term gives the approximation error. The first three terros of Taylor's formula give the function's linearization. To improve on the linearization, we add higher-power terms.

We take n = 2 in Equation (8):

Calculating the values ofthe partial derivatives, f(O,O) = sinxsinYI(o,o) = 0,

f,(O,O) = cosxsinYllO,O) = 0,

In finding partial derivatives of functions like w = fix, y), we have assumed x andy to be independent. In many applications, however, this is not the case. For example, the internal energy U ofa gas may be expressed as a function U = f(P, V, 1') ofpressureP, volume V, and temperature T. If the individual molecules of the gas do not interact, however, P, V, and T obey (and are constrained by) the ideal gas law

PV= nRT

(n and R constant),

and fail to be independent. In this section we learn how to find partial derivatives in situations like this, which occur in economics, engineering, and physics.·

Decide Which Variables Are Dependent and Which Are Independent If the variables in a function w = f(x,y, z) are constrained by a relation like the one imposed on x, y, and z by the equation z = x 2 + y2, the geometric meanings and the numerical values of the partial derivatives of f will depend on which variables are chosen to be dependent and which are chosen to be independent. To see how this choice can affect the outcome, we consider the calculation of iJwj ax when w = x 2 + y2 + z2 and z = x 2 + y2.

EXAMPLE 1

Find iJwjax if w = x 2 + y2

+ z2 and z

= x2

+ y~

We are given two equations in the four unknowns x, y, z, and w. Like many such systems, this one can be solved for two of the unknowns (the dependent variables) in terms of the others (the independent variables). In being asked for iJwjax, we are told that w is to be a dependent variable and x an independent variable. The possible choices for the other variables corne down to

Solution

Dependent w,z w,y

Independent x,y

x,z

In either case, we can express w explicitly in terms of the selected independent variables. We do this by using the second equation z = x 2 + Y 2 to eliminate the remaining dependent variable in the flISt equation. *This section is based on notes written for MIT by Arthur P. Mattuck.

14.10 Partial Oerivatives with Constrained Variables

825

In the f'lISt case, the remaining dependent variable is z. We eliminate it from the first equation by replacing it by x' + y' . The resulting expression for w is

+ y' + z' = x' + y' + (x' + y')' x' + y' + x 4 + 2x'y' + y4

w = x' =

and

~;

,

= 2x

+ 4x 3 + 4xy'.

(1)

This is the formula for aw/ ax when x and y are the independent variables. In the second case, where the independent variables are x and z and the remaining dependent variable is y, we eliminate the dependent variable y in the expression for w by replacing y' in the second equation by z This gives

x' .

FIGURE 14.58 If P is constrained to lie on the paraboloid z = x 2 + y~ the value ofthe partial derivative of w = x 2 + y2 + z2 with respect to x at P depends on the direction of motion (Example I). (I) Ail x changes, with y = 0, P moves up or down the surface on the parabola z = x 2 in the xz-plane with itw/iix ~ 2x + 4x'. (2)Ailxchanges, with z = 1, P moves on the circle x' + y' = I,z = I,andaw/ax = O.

(2)

This is the formula for aw/ ax when x and z are the independent variables. The formulas for aw/ax in Equations (I) and (2) are genuinely different. We cannot change either formula into the other by using the relation z = x' + y'. There is not just one aw/ax, there are two, and we see that the original instruction to f'md aw/ax was incomplete. Which aw/ ax? we ask. The geometric interpretations of Equations (I) and (2) help to explain why the equations differ. The function w = + y' + z' measures the square of the distance from the point (x, y, z) to the origin. The condition z = x' + y' says that the point (x, y, z) lies on the paraboloid of revolution shown in Figure 14.58. What does it mean to calculate aw/ax at a point P(x, y, z) that can move only on this surface? What is the value of aw/ax when the coordinates ofP are, say, (I, 0, I)? If we take x and y to be independent, then we f'md aw/ ax by holding y fixed (at y = 0 in this case) and letting x vary. Hence, P moves along the parabola z = x' in the xz-piane. As P moves on this parabola, w, which is the square of the distance from P to the origin, changes. We calculate aw/ax in this case (our first solution above) to be

x'

aw ax = 2x

+ 4x 3 + 4xy'.

At the point P(I, 0, I), the value of this derivative is

~;

= 2

+4 +

0 = 6.

If we take x and z to be independent, then we f'md aw/ax by holding z fixed while x varies. Since the z-coordinate of P is I, varying x moves P along a circle in the piane z = 1. As P moves along this circle, its distance from the origin remains constant, and w, being the square of this distance, does not change. That is,

aw = 0 ax ' as we found in our second solution.

•

How to Find iJwjiJx When the Variables in w = I(x, y, z) Are Constrained by Another Equation As we saw in Example I, a typical routine for finding aw/ ax when the variables in the function w = /(x,y, z) are related by another equation has three steps. These steps apply to finding aw/ay and aw/az as well.

826

Chapter 14: Partial Derivatives

1. Decide which variables are to be dependent and which are to be independent. (In practice, the decision is based on the physical or theoretical context of our work. In the exercises at the end of this section, we say which variables are which.)

2. Eliminate the other dependent variable(s) in the expression for w. 3. Differentiate as usual.

Ifwe cannot carry out Step 2 after deciding which variables are dependent, we differentiate the equations as they are and try to solve for awjax afterward. The next example shows how this is done.

It is not convenient to eliminate z in the expression for w. We therefore differentiate both equations implicitly with respect to x, treating x and y as independent variables and w and z as dependent variables. This gives

To avoid confusion between the independent and intermediate variables with the same symbolic names in the diagram, it is helpful to rename the intermediate variables (so they are seen as jUnctions ofthe independent variables). Thus, let u = x, v = y , and s = z denote the renamed intermediate variables. With this notation, the arrow diagram becomes

Taking limits as n ~ 00 shows that c limn~oo Sn == C ffR f dA and limn~oo cSn == ffR C f dA are equal. It follows that the constant multiple property carries over from sums to double integrals. The other properties are also easy to verify for Riemann sums, and carryover to double integrals for the same reason. While this discussion gives the idea, an actual proof that these properties hold requires a more careful analysis of how Riemann sums converge.

EXAMPLE 4

Find the volume of the wedgelike solid that lies beneath the surface z == 16 - x 2 - y 2 and above the region R bounded by the curve Y == 2\h, the line Y == 4x - 2, and the x-axis. SoLution Figure 15.18a shows the surface and the "wedgelike" solid whose volume we want to calculate. Figure 15.18b shows the region of integration in thexy-plane. Ifwe integrate in the order dy dx (first with respect to y and then with respect to x), two integrations will be required because y varies from y == 0 to y == 2VX for 0 :::; x :::; 0.5, and then varies from y == 4x - 2 to y == 2VX for 0.5 :::; x :::; 1. So we choose to integrate in the order dx dy, which requires only one double integral whose limits of integration are indicated in Figure 15.18b. The volume is then calculated as the iterated integral:

Changing Cartesian Integrals into Polar Integrals The procedure for changing a Cartesian integralffR fix, y) dx dy into a polar integral has twc steps. First substitute x = r cos 0 and y = r sin 0, and replace dx dy by r dr dO in the

Cartesian integral. Then supply polar limits of integration for the boundary of R. The Cartesian integral then becomes I I fix, y) dx dy = I I fir cos 0, r sin 0) r dr dO, R

G

where G denotes the same region ofintegration now described in polar coordinates. This is like the substitution method in Chapter 5 except that there are now twc variables to substitute for instead of one. Notice that the area differential dx dy is not replaced by dr dO but by r dr dO. A more general discussion of changes of variables (substitutions) in multiple integrals is given in Section 15.8.

Yet this integral and others like it are important in mathematics-in statistics, for example-and we need to find a way to evaluate it. Polar coordinates save the day.

Integration with respect to y gives

an integral difficult to evaluate without tables. Things go better if we change the original integral to polar coordinates. The region of integration in Cartesian coordinates is given by the inequalites 0 :::; y :::; ~ and o :::; x :::; 1, which correspond to the interior of the unit quarter circle x 2 + y2 == 1 in the first quadrant. (See Figure 15.26, first quadrant.) Substituting the polar coordinates x == rcosO,y == rsinO,O:::; 0:::; 7T/2andO:::; r:::; 1, and replacing dx dybyrdrdO in the double integral, we get

• EXAMPLE 6 Using polar integration, find the area of the regionR in the xy-plane enclosed by the circle x 2 + y2 + 4, above the line y = 1, and below the line y = 0x. Solutton A sketch of the region R is showo in Figure 15.28. First we note that the lioe y = 0x has slope 0 = tan 0, so 0 = 7T/3. Next we observe that the line y = 1 intersects the circle x 2 + y2 = 4 when x 2 + 1 = 4, or x = 0. Moreover, the radial line from the origin through the point (0,1) has slope 1/0 = tan 0, giving its angle ofinclination as 0 = 7T/6. This information is showo in Figure 15.28. Now, for the regionR, as 0 varies from 7T/6 to 7T/3, the polar coordinate r varies from the horizontal line y = 1 to the circle x 2 + y2 = 4. Substitutiog r sin 0 for Y in the equation for the horizontallioe, we have r sin 0 = 1, or r = esc 0, which is the polar equation of the line. The polar equation for the circle is r = 2. So in polar coordinates, for 7T/6 :5 0 :5 7T/3, r varies from r = esc 0 to r = 2. It follows that the iterated integral for the area then gives

Triple Integrals in Rectangular Coordinates Just as double integrals allow us to deal with more general situations than could be handled by single integrals, triple integrals enable us to solve still more general problems. We use triple integrals to calculate the volumes of three-dimensional shapes and the average value of a function over a three-dimensional region. Triple integrals also arise in the study of vector fields and fluid flow in three dimensions, as we will see in Chapter 16.

We number the cells that lie completely inside D from 1 to n in some order, the kth cell having dimensions dXk by dYk by dZk and volume d Vk == dXkdYkdzk.

When a single limiting value is attained, no matter how the partitions and points (Xk, Yk, Zk) are chosen, we say that F is integrable over D. As before, it can be

Chapter 15: Multiple Integrals shown that when F is continuous and the bounding surface of D is fonned from tmitely many smooth surfaces joined together along tmitely many smooth curves, then F is integrable. As Ilpll ---> 0 and the number of cells n goes to 00, the sums S. approach a limit. We call this limit the triple integral of F over D and write

DEFINmON

The volume of a closed, bounded region D in space is

V= iff dV. D

TIris detmition is in agreement with our previous detmitions ofvolume, although we omit the verification ofthis fact. As we see in a moment, this integral enables us to calculate the volumes of solids enclosed by curved surfaces.

Finding Limits of Integration in the Order dz dy dx We evaluate a triple integml by applying a three-dimensional version of Fubini's Theorem (Section 15.2) to evaluate it by three repeated single integrations. As with double integmls, there is a geometric procedure for finding the limits ofintegmtion for these single integmls. To evaluate

iff F(x,y,z)dV D

over a region D, integrate first with respect to z, then with respect to y, and finally with respect to x. (You might choose a different order ofintegmtion, but the procedure is similar, as we illustmte in Example 2.)

Follow similar procedures if you change the order of integration. The "shadow" of region D lies in the plane of the last two variables with respect to which the iterated integration takes place. The preceding procedure applies whenever a solid region D is bounded above and below by a surface, and when the "shadow" region R is bounded by a lower and upper curve. It does not apply to regions with complicated holes through them, although sometimes such regions can be subdivided into simpler regions for which the procedure does apply.

the integral of F(x, y, z) == 1 over D. To find the limits of integration for evaluating the integral, we first sketch the region.

The boundary of the region R, the projection of D onto the xy-plane, is an ellipse with the same equation: x 2 + 2y 2 == 4. The "upper" boundary of R is the curve y == V(4 - x 2)/2. The lower boundary is the curve y == -V(4 - x 2 )/2. Now we find the z-limits of integration.

Finding the limits of integration for evaluating the triple integral of a function defined over the tetrahedron D (Examples 2 and 3). FIGURE 15.31

EXAMPLE 2 Set up the limits of integration for evaluating the triple integral of a function F(x, y, z) over the tetrahedron D with vertices (0, 0, 0), (1, 1,0), (0, 1,0), and (0, 1, 1). Use the order of integration dy dz dx. SoLution We sketch D along with its "shadow" R in the xz-plane (Figure 15.31). The upper (right-hand) bounding surface of D lies in the plane y == 1. The lower (left-hand) bounding surface lies in the plane y == x + z. The upper boundary of R is the line z == 1 - x. The lower boundary is the line z == O. First we find the y-limits of integration. The line through a typical point (x, z) in R parallel to the y-axis enters D at y == x + z and leaves at y == 1. Next we find the z-limits of integration. The line L through (x, z) parallel to the z-axis enters R at z == 0 and leaves at z == 1 - x. Finally we find the x-limits of integration. As L sweeps across R, the value of x varies from x == 0 to x == 1. The integral is

EXAMPLE 3 Integrate F(x, y, z) == 1 over the tetrahedron D in Example 2 in the order dz dy dx, and then integrate in the order dy dz dx. SoLution First we find the z-limits of integration. A line M parallel to the z-axis through a typical point (x, y) in the xy-plane "shadow" enters the tetrahedron at z == 0 and exits through the upper plane where z == y - x (Figure 15.32). Next we find the y-limits of integration. On the xy-plane, where z == 0, the sloped side of the tetrahedron crosses the plane along the line y == x. A line L through (x, y) parallel to the y-axis enters the shadow in the xy-plane at y == x and exits at y == 1 (Figure 15.32).

Finally we find the x-limits of integration. As the line L parallel to the y-axis in the previous step sweeps out the shadow, the value of x varies from x == 0 to x == 1 at the point (1, 1, 0) (see Figure 15.32). The integral is

Average Value of a Function in Space The average value of a function F over a region D in space is defined by the formula

Average value of F over D =

D

For example, if F(x,y, z) == Yx 2 + y2 + z2, then the average value of F over D is the average distance of points inD from the origin. If F(x,y, z) is the temperature at (x,y, z) on a solid that occupies a region D in space, then the average value of F over D is the average temperature of the solid.

This section shows how to calculate the masses and moments of two- and threedimensional objects in Cartesian coordinates. Section 15.7 gives the calculations for cylindrical and spherical coordinates. The defmitions and ideas are similar to the single-variable case we studied in Section 6.6, but now we can consider more realistic situations.

Masses and First Moments If B(x, y, z) is the density (mass per unit volwne) ofan object occupying a region D in space, the integral of B over D gives the mall of the object. Th see why, imagine partitioning the object into n mass element!llike the one in Figure 15.34. The object's mass is the limit

The goal oftbis section is to introduce you to the ideas involved in coordinate transformations. You will see how to evaluate multiple integrals by substitution in order to replace complicated integrals by ones that are easier to evaluate. Substitutions accomplish this by simplifying the integrand, the limits of integration, or both. A thorough discussion ofmultivariable transformations and substitutions, and the Jacobian, is best left to a more advanced course following a study oflinear algebra.

The polar coordinate substitution ofSeclion 15.4 is a special case ofa more general substitution method for double integrals, a method that pictures changes in variables as transformations of regions. Suppose that a region G in the uv-piane is transformed one-to-one into the region R in the xy-piane by equations ofthe form

x = g(u, v),

y = h(u, v),

as suggested in Figure 15.53. We call R the image of G under the transformation, and G the preimage of R. Any function j(x, y) defined on R can be thought of as a function j(g(u, v), h(u, v» dermed on G as well. How is the integral of j(x,y) over R related to the integral of j(g(u, v), h(u, v» over G? The answer is: If g, h, and j have continuous partial derivatives and J(u, v) (to be discussed in a moment) is zero only at isolated points, if at all, then Cartesian xy-plane

This is the same fonnula we derived independently using a geometric argument for polar area in Section 15.4. Notice that the integral on the right-hand side of Equation (3) is not the integral of f(r cos 0, r sin 0) over a region in the polar coordinate plane. It is the integral of the product of f(r cos 0, r sin 0) and r over a region G in the Cartesian rO-plane. _ Here is an example of a substitution in which the image of a rectangle under the coordinate transfonnation is a trapezoid. Transformations like this one are called linear transformations.

In the next example we illustrate a nonlinear transfonnation ofcoordinates resulting from simplifying the fonn of the integrand Like the polar coordinatea' transfonnation, nonlinear transfonnations can map a straight line boundary of a region into a curved boundary (or vice versa with the inverse transfonnation). In general, nonlinear transfunnations are more complex to analyze than linear ooes, and a complete treatment is left to a more advanced course. y

16 INTEGRATION IN VECTOR FIELDS OVERVIEW In this chapter we extend the theory of integration to curves and surfaces in space. The resulting theory of line and surface integrals gives powerful mathematical tools for science and engineering. Line integrals are used to find the work done by a force in moving an object along a path, and to find the mass of a curved wire with variable density. Surface integrals are used to find the rate of flow of a fluid across a surface. We present the fundamental theorems of vector integral calculus, and discuss their mathematical consequences and physical applications. In the final analysis, the key theorems are shown as generalized interpretations of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

16.1

Line Integrals

z

To calculate the total mass of a wire lying along a curve in space, or to find the work done by a variable force acting along such a curve, we need a more general notion of integral than was defined in Chapter 5. We need to integrate over a curve C rather than over an interval [a, b]. These more general integrals are called line integrals (although path integrals might be more descriptive). We make our definitions for space curves, with curves in the xy-plane being the special case with z-coordinate identically zero. Suppose that I(x, y, z) is a real-valued function we wish to integrate over the curve C lying within the domain of I and parametrized by r(t) == g(t)i + h(t)j + k(t)k, a :::; t :::; b. The values of I along the curve are given by the composite function I(g(t), h(t), k(t)). We are going to integrate this composite with respect to arc length from t == a to t == b. To begin, we first partition the curve C into a finite number n of subarcs (Figure 16.1). The typical subarc has length J).Sk. In each subarc we choose a point (Xh Yk, Zk) and form the sum n

FIGURE 16.1 The curve r(t) partitioned into small arcs from t = a to t = b. The length of a typical subarc is aSk.

which is similar to a Riemann sum. Depending on how we partition the curve C and pick (Xh Yh Zk) in the kth subarc, we may get different values for Sn. If I is continuous and the functions g, h, and k have continuous first derivatives, then these sums approach a limit as n increases and the lengths J).Sk approach zero. This limit gives the following definition, similar to that for a single integral. In the definition, we assume that the partition satisfies J).Sk~ 0 as n ~ 00.

Chapter 16: Integration in Vector Fields If the curve C is smooth for a :5 t:5 b (so v = dr/dt is continuous and never 0) and the function f is continuous on C, then the limit in Equation (1) can be shown to exist. We can then apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to differentiate the arc length equation,

(2)

Notice that the integral on the right side of Equation (2) is just an ordinary (single) definite integral, as defined in Chapter 5, where we are integrating with respect to the parameter t. The formula evaluates the line integral on the left side correctly no matter what parametrization is used, as long as the parametrization is smooth. Note that the parameter t defines a direction along the path. The starting point on C is the position r(a) and movement along the path is in the direction of increasing t (see Figure 16.1).

Notice three things about the integrations in Examples I and 2. First, as soon as the components ofthe appropriate curve were substituted into the fannula for I, the integration became a standard integration with respect to I. Second, the integral oflover c, U C2 was obtained by integrating I over each section ofthe path and adding the results. Third, the integrals oflover C and C, U C2 had different values.

The value of the line integral along a path joining two points can change if you change the path between them.

We investigate this third observation in Section 16.3.

Mass and Moment Calculations We treat coil springs and wires as masses distributed along smooth curves in space. The distribution is described by a continuous density function Il(x, Y, z) representing mass per unit length. When a curve C is parametrized by r{l) = X{I)i + Y{I}j + Z{I)k, a :5 I :5 b, thenx,y, andz are functions ofthe parameter I, the density is the function Il{X{I), y(1), z{I», and the arc length differential is given by

ds=~(:Y + (itY + (~Ydl.

904

Chapter 16: Integration in Vector Fields (See Section 13.3.) The spring's or wire's mass, center of mass, and moments are then calculated with the formulas in Table 16.1, with the integrations in terms of the parameter I over the interval [a, b]. For example, the formula for mass becomes

M =

t

8(x(I),y(I), z(I))

~ ( : ) ' + (~)' + (:)' dl.

These formulas also apply to thin rods, and their derivations are similar to those in Section 6.6. Notice how alike the formulas are to those in Tables 15.1 and 15.2 for double and triple integrals. The double integrals for planar regions, and the triple integrals for solids, become line integrals for coil springs, wires, and thin rods.

Line Integrals in the Plane There is an interesting geometric interpretation for line integrals in the plane. If C is a smooth curve in the :>ry-plane parametrized by r(t) = x(t)i + y(t)j, a ,;; t ,;; b, we generate a cylindrical surface by moving a straight line along C orthogonal to the plane, holding the line parallel to the z-axis, as in Section IZ.6. Ifz = f(x,y) is a nonnegative continuous function over a region in the plane containing the curve C, then the graph of f is a surface that lies above the plane. The cylinder cuts through this surface, forming a curve on it that lies above the curve C and follows its winding nature. The part of the cylindrical surface that lies beneath the surface curve and above the :>ry-plane is like a "winding wall" or "fence" standing on the curve C and orthogonal to the plane. At any point (x, y) along the curve, the height ofthe wallis f(x, y). We show the wall in Figure 16.5, where the "top" of the wall is the curve lying on the surface z = f(x, y). (We do not display the surface formed by the graph of f in the figure, ouiy the curve on it that is cut out by the cylinder.) From the definition

Vector Fields and Line Integrals: Work, Circulation, and Flux Gravitational and electric forces have both a direction and a magnitude. They are represented by a vector at each point in their domain, producing a vector field. In this section we show how to compute the work done in moving an object through such a field by using a line integral involving the vector field. We also discuss velocity fields, such as the vector

908

Chapter 16: Integration in Vector Fields

field representing the velocity of a flowing fluid in its domain. A line integral can be used to find the rate at which the fluid flows along or across a curve within the domain.

Vector Fields

FIGURE 16.6 Velocity vectors of a flow around an airfoil in a wind tunnel.

Suppose a region in the plane or in space is occupied by a moving fluid, such as air or water. The fluid is made up of a large number of particles, and at any instant of time, a particle has a velocity v. At different points of the region at a given (same) time, these velocities can vary. We can think of a velocity vector being attached to each point of the fluid representing the velocity of a particle at that point. Such a fluid flow is an example of a vector field. Figure 16.6 shows a velocity vector field obtained from air flowing around an airfoil in a wind tunnel. Figure 16.7 shows a vector field of velocity vectors along the streamlines of water moving through a contracting channel. Vector fields are also associated with forces such as gravitational attraction (Figure 16.8), and to magnetic fields, electric fields, and also purely mathematical fields. Generally, a vector field is a function that assigns a vector to each point in its domain. A vector field on a three-dimensional domain in space might have a formula like

F(x,y,z)

FIGURE 16.7 Streamlines in a contracting channel. The water speeds up as the channel narrows and the velocity vectors increase in length.

==

M(x,y,z)i

+ N(x,y,z)j + P(x,y,z)k.

The field is continuous if the component functions M, N, and P are continuous; it is differentiable if each of the component functions is differentiable. The formula for a field of two-dimensional vectors could look like

F(x,y)

==

If we attach the gradient vector VI of a scalar function I(x, y, z) to each point of a level surface of the function, we obtain a three-dimensional field on the surface. If we attach the velocity vector to each point of a flowing fluid, we have a three-dimensional field defined on a region in space. These and other fields are illustrated in Figures 16.9-16.15. To sketch the fields, we picked a representative selection of domain points and drew the

ax' + ayJ + az k .

At each point (x, y, z), the gradient field gives a vector pointing in the direction ofgreatest increase of f, with magnitude being the value ofthe directional derivative in that direction. The gradient field is not always a force field or a velocity field.

EXAMPLE 1

Suppose that the temperature T at each point (x, y, z) in a region of space

is given by

T = 100 - x 2 - y2 - z2, and that F(x, y, z) is defined to be the gradient of T. Find the vector field F.

Solution The gradient field F is the field F = VT = -2xi - 2yj - Zzk. At each point in space, the vector field F gives the direction for which the increase in temperature is greatest. _

Line Integrals of Vector Fields In Section 16.1 we dermed the line integral of a scalar function f(x,y, z) over a path e. We turn our attention now to the idea of a line integral of a vectur field F along the curve

e.

Aasurne that the vectur field F = M(x,y, z)i + N(x,y, z)j + P(x,y, z)k has continuous components, and that the curve C has a smooth parametrization r(l) = g(l)i + h(l)j + k(1)k, a ,,; I ,,; b. Aa discussed in Section 16.1, the parametrization r(l) defines a direction (or orientation) along C which we call the forward direction. At each point along the path C, the tangent vector T = dr/lis = v/ Iv Iis a unit vector tangent to the path and pointing in this forward direction. (The vector v = dr/ dl is the velocity vectur tangent to C at the point, as discussed in Sections 13.1 and 13.3.) Intuitively, the line integral ofthe vector field is the line integral of the scalar tangential component of F along e. This tangential component is given by the dot product

dr lis'

F'T = F ' -

so we have the following formal definition, where 16.1.

• Line Integrals With Respect to the xyz Coordinates It is sometimes useful to write a line integral ofa scalar function with respect to one of the coordinates, such as fe M dx. This integral is not the same as the arc length line integral feM tis we defined in Section 16.1. To define the new integral for the scalar function M(x,y,z), we specify a vector field F = M(x,y,z)i over the curve C parametrized by r(l) = g(l)i + h(l)j + k(1)k, a :5 I :5 b. With this notation we have x = g(l) and dx = g'(I) dl. Then, dr F'dr = F' dldl = M(x,y,z)g'(I)dl = M(x,y,z)dx. So we define the line integral of M over C with respect to the coordinate x as

fc M(x,y,z) dx = fc F'dr,

where

F = M(x,y,z)i.

In the same way, by defming F = N(x,y,z)j, or F = P(x,y, z)k, we obtain the integrals feN dy and feP dz. Expressing everything in terms of the parameter I, we have the following formulas for these integrals:

Work Done by a Force over a Curve in Space Suppose that the vector field F = M(x,y,z)1 + N(x,y,z)j + P(x,y,z)k represents a force throughout a region in space (it might be the force of gravity or an electromagnetic force of some kind) and that r(/) = g(/)1

The formula for the work done by the force in moving an object along the curve is motivated by the same kind ofreasoning we used in Chapter 6 to derive the formula W = Jab F(x) dx for the work done by a continuous force ofmagnitude F(x) directed along an interval of the x-axis. For a curve C in space, we define the work done by a continuous force field F to move an object along C from a point A to another point B as follows. We divide C into n subarcs P.-IP. with lengths fl.sh starting at A and ending at B. We choose any point (Xk, Yh Zk) in the subarc Pk--lPk and let T(Xh Yk, Zk) be the unit tangent vector at the chosen point. The work Wk done to move the object along the subarc Pk-jPk is approximated by the tangential component of the force F(Xk, Yk, Zk) times the arclength fl.sk approximating the distance the object moves along the subarc (see Figure 16.16).

The sign of the number we calculate with this integral depends on the direction in which the curve is traversed.

Using the notations we have presented, we can express the work integral in a variety of ways, depending upon what seems most suitable or convenient for a particular discussion.

Row Integrals and Circulation for Velocity Fields Suppose that F represents the velocity field of a fluid flowing through a region in space (a tidal basin or the turbine cbamber of a hydroelectric generator, for example). Under these circumstances, the integral ofF' T along a curve in the region gives the fluid's flow along the curve.

The integral in this case is called a flow integral. If the curve starts and ends at the same point, so that A = B, the flow is called the circulation around the curve.

16.2 Vector Fields and Line Integrals: Work, Circulation, and Flux

The direction we travel along C matters. If we reverse the direction, then T is replaced by -T and the sign of the integral changes. We evaluate flow integrals the same way we evaluate work integrals.

Aux Across a Simple Plane Curve A curve in the xy-plane is simple if it does not cross itself (Figure 16.20). When a curve starts and ends at the same point, it is a closed curve or loop. To find the rete at which a fluid is entering or leaving a region enclosed by a smooth simple closed curve C in the xy-plane,

916

Chapter 16: Integration in Vector Fields

we calculate the line integral over C of F' n, the scalar component of the fluid's velocity field in the direction of the curve's outward-pointing nonnal vector. The value of this integral is thejlux ofF across C. Flux is Latin forjlow, but many flux calculations involve no motion at all. If F were an electric field or a magnetic field, for instance, the integral of F n would still be called the flux of the field across C. 0

DEFINITION If C is a smooth simple closed curve in the domain of a continuous vector field F = M(x, y)i + N(x, y)j in the plane, and if n is the outwardpointing uuit normal vector on C, the flux of F across Cis Flux ofF across C =

Notice the difference between flux and circulation. The flux of F across C is the line integral with respect to arc length ofF n, the scalar component ofF in the direction of the outward nonnal. The circulation of F around C is the line integral with respect to arc length of F • T, the scalar component of F in the direction of the unit tangent vector. Flux is the integral of the normal component of F; circulation is the integral of the tangential component ofF. To evaluate the integral for flux in Equation (6), we begin with a smooth parametrization 0

that traces the curve C exactly once as t increases from a to b. We can f'md the outward uuit normal vector n by crossing the curve's uuit tangent vector T with the vector k. But which order do we choose, T X k or k X T? Which one points outward? It depends on which way C is traversed as t increases. If the motion is clockwise, k X T points outward; if the motion is counterclockwise, T X k points outward (Figure 16.21). The usual choice is n = T X k, the choice that assumes counterclockwise motion. Thus, although the value of the integral in Equation (6) does not depend on which way C is traversed, the fonnulas we are about to derive for computing n and evaluating the integral assume counterclock-

wise motion. In terms of components,

Path Independence, Conservative Fields, and Potential Functions A gravitational field G is a vector field that represents the effect of gravity at a point in space due to the presence of a massive object. The gravitational force on a body of mass m placed in the field is given by F == mG. Similarly, an electric field E is a vector field in space that represents the effect of electric forces on a charged particle placed within it. The force on a body of charge q placed in the field is given by F == qE. In gravitational and electric fields, the amount of work it takes to move a mass or charge from one point to another depends on the initial and final positions of the object-not on which path is taken between these positions. In this section we study vector fields with this property and the calculation of work integrals associated with them.

Path Independence If A and B are two points in an open region D in space, the line integral of F along C from A to B for a field F defined on D usually depends on the path C taken, as we saw in Section 16.1. For some special fields, however, the integral's value is the same for all paths from A toB.

DEFINITIONS Let F be a vector field defined on an open region D in space, and suppose that for any two points A and B in D the line integral F • dr along a path C from A to B in D is the same over all paths from A to B. Then the integral F · dr is path independent in D and the field F is conservative on D.

The word conservative comes from physics, where it refers to fields in which the principle of conservation of energy holds. When a line integral is independent of the path C from

property. Under differentiability conditions nonnally met in practice, we will show that a field F is conservative if and only if it is the gradient field ofa scalar function I-that is, if and only if F = VI for some j. The function I then has a special name.

DEFINmON If F is a vector field defined on D and F = VI for some scalar function I on D, then I is called a potential function for F.

A gravitatioual potential is a scalar function whose gradient field is a gravitatioual field, an electric potential is a scalar function whose gradient field is an electric field, and so on. As we will see, once we have found a potential function I for a field F, we can evaluate all the line integrals in the domain of F over any path between A and B by

j'(x) dx = I(b) - I(a).

Conservative fields have other remarkable properties. For example, saying that F is conservative on D is equivalent to saying that the integral ofF around every closed path in D is zero. Certain conditions on the curves, fields, and domains must be satisfied for Equation (I) to be valid. We discuss these conditions next.

Assumptions on Curves, Vector Fields, and Domains In order for the computations and results we derive below to be valid, we must assume certain properties for the curves, surfaces, domains, and vector fields we consider. We give these assumptions in the statements of theorems, and they also apply to the examples and exercises unless otherwise stated. The curves we consider are piecewise smooth. Such curves are made up of fmitely many smooth pieces connected end to end, as discussed in Section 13.1. We will treat vector fields F whose components have continuous first partial derivatives. The domains D we consider are open regions in space, so every point in D is the center of an open ball that lies entirely in D (see Section 13.1). We also assume D to be connected. For an open region, this means that any two points in D can be joined by a smooth curve that lies in the region. Finally, we assume D is simply connected, which means that every loop in D can be contracted to a point in D without ever leaving D. The plane with a disk removed is a two-dimensioual region that is 1101 simply connected; a loop in the plane that goes around the disk cannot be contracted to a point without going into the ''hole'' left by the removed disk (see Figure 16.22c). Similarly, if we remove a line from space, the remaining region D is 1101 simply connected. A curve encircling the line cannot be shrunk to a point while remaining inside D.

922

Chapter 16: Integration in Vector Fields Connectivity and simple connectivity are not the same, and neither property implies the other. Think of connected regions as being in "one piece" and simply connected regions as not having any "Ioop-catching holes." All of space itself is both connected and simply connected. Figure 16.22 illustrates some of these properties.

Caution Some of the results in this chapter can fail to hold if applied to situations where the conditions wtl've imposed do not hold In particular, the component test for conservative fields, given later in this section, is not valid on domains that are not simply connected (see ExampleS).

So we see from Theorem I that the line integral of a gradient field F = VI is straightforward to compute once we know the function f. Many important vector fields arising in applications are indeed gradient fields. The next result, which follows from Theorem I, shows that any conservative field is of this type. THEOREM 2-Conservati"" Fields are Gradient Fields Let F = Mi + Nj + Pk be a vector field whose components are continuous throughout an open connected region D in space. Then F is conservative if and only if F is a gradient field VI for a differentiable function f.

Theorem 2 says that F = VI if and only iffor any two points A andB in the regionD, the value ofline integral IcF' dr is independent of the path CjoiningA toB inD.

Proof of Theorem 2 If F is a gradient field, then F = VI for a differentiable function I, and Theorem I shows that F' dr = I(B) - I(A). The value of the line integral does not depend on C, but only on its endpoints A and B. So the line integral is path independent and F satisfies the definition of a conservative field. On the other hand, suppose that F is a conservative vector field. We want to f'md a function I on D satisfYing VI = F. First, pick a point A in D and set I(A) = O. For any F • dr, where C is any smooth path in D from A other point BinD define I(B) to equal to B. The value of I(B) does not depend on the choice of C, since F is conservative. To show that VI = Fweneedto demonstrate that ai/ax = M,al/ay = N,andaflaz = P. Suppose that B has coordinates (x, y, z).

We a nearby point Bo located at (xo,y, z) is take a path C = Co U L from A to B formed by first traveling along Co to arrive at Bo and then traveling along the line segment L from Bo to B (Figure 16.23). When Bo is close to B, the segment L lies in D and, since the value I(B) is independent of the path from A toB,

A very useful property of line integrals in conservative fields comes into play when the for integration path of integration is a closed curve, or loop. We often use the notation C around a closed path (discussed with more detail in the next section).

Two questions arise:

1.

How do we know whether a given vector field F is conservative?

2.

If F is in fact conservative, how do we f"md a potential function I (so that F = V/)?

Finding Potentials for Conservative Fields The test for a vector field being conservative involves the equivalence of certain partial derivatives of the field components.

Component Test for Conservative Fields Let F = M(x,y,z)i + N(x,y,z)j + P(x,y,z)k be a field on a connected and simply connected domain whose component functions have continuous first partial derivatives. Then, F is conservative ifand only if

The second half of the proof, that Equations (2) imply that F is conservative, is a consequence of Stokes' Theorem, taken up in Section 16.7, and requires our assumption that the domain of F be simply connected.

926

Chapter 16: Integration in Vector Fields

Once we know that F is conservative, we usually want to find a potential function for F. This requires solving the equation Vj = F or

EXAMPLE 3 Show that F = (eX cosy + yz)i + (xz - eX siny)j + (xy + z)k is conservative over its natural domain and find a potential function for it. Solution The natoral domain of F is all of space, which is connected and simply connected. We apply the test in Equations (2) to M = eXcosy

We write the constant of integration as a function of y and z because its value may depend ony andz, though not onx. We then calculate ojjoy from this equation and match it with the expression for ojjoy in Equations (3). This gives

satisfies the equations in the Component Test, but is not conservative over its natural domain. Explain why this is possible. Solution We have M = -y/(x 2 + y2), N = x/(x 2 + y2), and P = O. If we apply the Component Test, we find

oP=O=oN oy oz'

So it may appear that the field F passes the Component Test. However, the test assumes that the domain of F is simply connected, which is not the case. Since x 2 + y2 cannot equal zero, the natural domain is the complement of the z-axis and contains loops that cannot be contracted to a point. One such loop is the unit circle C in the lry-plane. The circle is parametrized by r(l) = (COSI)I + (sinl)j,O :5 I :5 21T. This loop wraps around the z-axis and cannot be contracted to a point while staying within the complement of the z-axis. To show that F is not conservative, we compute the line integral F • dr around the loop C. First we write the field in terms of the parameter I: C

C

Since the line integral ofF around the loop C is not zero, the field F is not conservative, bY Theorem 3. _ Example 5 shows that the Component Test does not apply when the domain of the field is not simply connected. However, if we change the domain in the example so that it is restricted to the ball of radius I centered at the point (2, 2, 2), or to any sirnilar ball-shaped region which does not contain a piece ofthe z-axis, then this new domain D is simply connected Now the partial derivative Equations (2), as well as all the assumptions of the Component Test, are satisfied In this new situation, the field F in Example 5 is conservative on D.

928

Chapter 16: Integration in Vector Fields Just as we must be careful with a function when determining if it satisfies a property throughout its domain (like continuity or the intermediate value property), so must we also be careful with a vector field in determining the properties it mayor may not have over its assigned domain.

The value of the circulation density is the k-component of a more general circulation vector field we derme in Section 16.7, called the curl of the vector field F. For Green's Theorem, we need only this k-component.

DEFINmON The circulation density of a vector field F = Mi point (x, y) is the scalar expression aN ax

This expression is also called the k-component of the curl, denoted by (curl F) k. 0

If water is moving about a region in the :ry-plane in a thin layer, then the k-component ofthe curl at a point (xo, YO) gives a way to measure how fast and in what direction a small paddle wheel spins if it is put into the water at (xo, YO) with its axis perpendicular to the plane, parallel to k (Figure 16.30).

FIGURE 16.76 A sphere Sa surrounding another surface S. The tops of the surfaces are removed for visualization.

and the flux of E across S in the direction away from the origin must be the same as the flux of E across Sa in the direction away from the origin, which is q/ EO. This statement, called Gauss s Law, also applies to charge distributions that are more general than the one assumed here, as you will see in nearly any physics text.

Continuity Equation of Hydrodynamics Let D be a region in space bounded by a closed oriented surface S. Ifv(x, y, z) is the velocity field of a fluid flowing smoothly through D, 8 = 8(t, x, y, z) is the fluid's density at (x, y, z) at time t, and F = 8v, then the continuity equation ofhydrodynamics states that

is the rate at which mass leaves D across S (leaves because n is the outer normal). To see why, consider a patch of area au on the surface (Figure 16.77). In a short time interval at, the volume a v of fluid that flows across the patch is approximately equal to the volume of a cylinder with base area au and height (vat) . n, where v is a velocity vector rooted at a point of the patch:

Chapter 16: Integration in Vector Fields

Unifying the Integral Theorems If we think of a two-dimensional field F = M(x, y)i + N(x, y)i as a three-dimensional field whose k-component is zero, then V' F = (aM/ax) + (aN/ay) and the normal form of Green's Theorem can be written as

Notice how Stokes' Theorem generalizes the tangential (curl) form of Green's Theorem from a flat surface in the plane to a surface in three-dimensional space. In each case, the integral of the normal component of curl F over the interior of the surface equals the circulation of F around the boundary. Likewise, the Divergence Theorem generalizes the normal (flux) form of Green's Theorem from a two-dimensional region in the plane to a three-dimensional region in space. In each case, the integral of V• F over the interior ofthe region eqnals the total flux of the field across the boundary. There is still more to be learned here. All these results can be thought of as forms of a single fUndamental theorem. Think back to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in Section 5.4. It says that if f(x) is differentiable on (a, b) and continuous on [a, bl, then

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, the normal form of Green's Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem all say that the integral of the differential operator V' operating on a field F over a region equals the sum of the normal field components over the boundary of the region. (Here we are interpreting the line integral in Green's Theorem and the surface integral in the Divergence Theorem as "sums" over the boundary.) Stokes' Theorem and the tangential form of Green's Theorem say that, when things are properly oriented, the integral of the normal component of the curl operating on a field equals the sum of the tangential field components on the boundary of the surface. The beauty of these interpretations is the observance of a single unifYing principle, which we might state as follows.

A Unifying Fundamental Theorem The integral of a differential operator acting on a field over a region equals the sum of the field components appropriate to the operator over the boundary of the region.

AppLications In this section we apply second-order differential equations to the study of vibrating springs and electric circuits.

Vibrations A spring has its upper end fastened to a rigid support, as shown in Figure 17.2. An object of mass m is suspended from the spring and stretches it a length s when the spring comes to rest in an equilibrium position. According to Hooke's Law (Section 6.5), the tension force in the spring is ks, where k is the spring constant. The force due to gravity pulling down on the spring is mg, and equilibrium requires that massm

ks = mg.

at equilibrium

FIGURE 17.2

Massm stretches a spring by length s to the equilibrium position at y = O.

(1)

Suppose that the object is pulled down an additionsl amount Yo beyond the equilibrium position and then released We want to study the object's motion, that is, the vertical position of its center ofmass at any future time. Let y, with positive direction downward, denote the displacement position of the object away from the equilibrium position y = 0 at any time t after the motion has started. Then the forces acting on the object are (see Figure 17.3) the propulsion force due to gravity,

F p = mg,

Fs

the restoring force of the spring's tension,

a frictional force assumed proportional to velocity.

The frictional force tends to retard the motion ofthe object. The resultant of these forces is F = F p - F, - F" and by Newton's second law F = ma, we must then have

a'ly dy m dt 2 = mg - ks - ky - Il dt' By Equation (I), mg - ks = 0, so this last equation becomes

You might expect that the motion predicted by Equation (2) will be oscillatory about the equilibrium position y = 0 and eventually dsmp to zero because of the retarding frictional force. This is indeed the case, and we will show how the constants m, Il, and k determine the nature of the dsmping. You will also see that if there is no friction (so Il = 0), then the object will simply oscillate indefinitely.

Simple Harmonic Motion Suppose first that there is no retarding frictional force. Then Il = 0 and there is no dsmping. Ifwe substitute w = Vkj;. to simplify our calculations, then the second-order equation (2) becomes

(6)

The auxiliary equation is r 2 +2br+w2 =O,

with roots r = -b ± yCb"2-_-w'''. Three cases now present themselves, depending upon the relative sizes of b and w. Case 1: b = Cd. The double root of the auxiliary equation is real and equals r general solution to Equation (6) is y = (c,

= w. The

+ c2t)e-".

This situation of motion is called critical damping and is not oscillatory. Figure 17.6a shows an example ofthis kind of damped motion. Case 2: b > Cd. The roots of the auxiliary equation are real and unequal, given by r, = -b + Vb 2 - w' and r2 = -b - Vb 2 - w'. The general solution to Equation (6) is given by y = c,e(-b+v'b'-w'Jt

+

C2 e (-b-v'b'-w'Jt.

Here again the motion is not oscillatory and both r, and r2 are negative. Thus y approaches zero as time goes on. This motion is referred to as overdamping (see Figure 17.6b). Case 3: b < Cd. The roots to the auxiliary equation are complex and given by r = -b ± tVw2 - b 2• The general solution to Equation (6) is given by y = e-bl(c, cosVw' - b 2 t

+ C2SinVw'

- b 2 t).

This situation, called underdamping, represents dam\,ed oscillatory motion. It is analogous to simple harmonic motion of period T = 21T/V w' - b 2except that the amplitude is not constant but damped by the factor e -bl. Therefore, the motion tends to zero as t increases, so the vibrations tend to die out as time goes on. Notice that the period T = 21T/Vw2 - b 2 is larger than the period To = 21T/W in the friction-free system. Moreover, the larger the value of b = [;/2m in the exponential damping factor, the more quickly the vibrations tend to become unnoticeable. A curve illustrating underdamped motion is shown in Figure 17.6c. y

Chapter 17: Second-Order Oifferential Equations An external force F(t) can also be added to the spring system modeled by Equation (2). The forcing function may represent an external disturbance on the system. For instance, if the equation models an automobile suspension system, the forcing function might represent periodic bumps or potholes in the road affecting the performance of the suspension system; or it might represent the effects of winds when modeling the vertical motion of a suspension bridge. Inclusion of a forcing function results in the second-order nonhomogeneous equation

Elecbic Circuits The basic quantity in electricity is the charge q (analogous to the idea ofmass). In an electric field we use the flow of charge, or current I = dq/dt, as we might use velocity in a gravitational field. There are many similarities between motion in a gravitational field and the flow of electrons (the carriers of charge) in an electric field. Consider the electric circuit shown in Figure 17.7. It consists of four components: voltage source, resistor, inductor, and capacitor. Think of electrical flow as being like a fluid flow, where the voltage source is the pump and the resistor, inductor, and capacitor tend to block the flow. A battery or generator is an example of a source, producing a voltage that causes the current to flow through the circuit when the switch is closed. An electric light bulb or appliance would provide resistance. The inductance is due to a magnetic field that opposes any change in the current as it flows through a coil. The capacitance is normally created by two metal plates that alternate charges and thus reverse the current flow. The following symbols specify the quantities relevant to the circuit: q: charge at a cross section ofa conductor measured in coulombs (abbreviated c);

I: current or rate of change of charge dq/dt (flow of electrons) at a cross section of a conductor measured in amperes (abbreviated A);

E: electric (potential) source measured in volts (abbreviated V); V: difference in potential between two points along the conductor measured in volts (V). R, Resistor

FIGURE 17.7 An eleelric circuit. Ohm observed that the current I flowing through a resistor, caused by a potential difference across it, is (approximately) proportional to the potential difference (voltage drop). He named his constant of proportionality 1/R and called R the resistance. So Ohm ~ law is

1 I=li V,

17.3

Applications

17-21

Similarly, it is known from physics that the voltage drops across an inductor and a capacitor are

q C'

and

where L is the inductance and C is the capacitance (with q the charge on the capacitor). The German physicist Gustav R. Kirchhoff (1824-1887) formulated the law that the sum of the voltage drops in a closed circuit is equal to the supplied voltage E(t). Symbolically, this says that

dI RI + L dt

q

+C

=

E(t).

Since I = dq/dt, Kirchhoff's law becomes

d 2q dq I Ldt2+Rdt+Cq=E(t).

(8)

The second-order differential equation (8), which models an electric circuit, has exactly the same form as Equation (7) modeling vibratory motion. Both models can be solved using the methods developed in Section 17.2.

Chapter 17: Second-Order Oifferential Equations

Power-Series SoLutions

. . . .1 - - - - - - - - - In this section we exteod our stody of second-order linear homogeoeous equations with variable coefficieots. With the Euler equations in Section 17.4, the power of the variable x in the nonconstant coefficieot had to match the order of the derivative with which it was paired: x 2 with yO, Xl with y', and xO(=I) with y. Here we drop that requiremeot so we ean solve more geoeral equations.

Method of Solution The powe.....erie. method for solving a second-order homogeneous differential equation consists of finding the coefficieots of a power series 00

y(x) = ~ c.x· = Co

(1)

n=O

which solves the equation. To apply the method we substitote the series and its derivatives into the differential equation to determine the coefficieots Co, C" C2, .... The technique for finding the coefficieots is similar to that used in the method of uodetermined coefficieots preseoted in Section 17.2. In our first example we demonstrate the method in the setting of a simple equation whose general solution we already know. This is to help you become more comfortable with solutions expressed in series form.

From the table we notice that the coefficients with even indices (n = Zk, k = I, Z, 3, ... ) are related to each other and the coefficients with odd indices (n = Zk + I) are also interrelated. We treat each group in turn. Even indices: Here n = Zk, so the power is x 2k--2. From the last line ofthe table, we have

ApPENDICES Real Numbers and the Real Line

A.1

This section reviews real numbers, inequalities, intervals, and absolute values.

Real Numbers Much of calculus is based on properties of the real number system. Real numbers are numbers that can be expressed as decimals, such as

- 43 == 31

==

V2 ==

-0.75000 ... 0.33333 1.4142

. .

The dots ... in each case indicate that the sequence of decimal digits goes on forever. Every conceivable decimal expansion represents a real number, although some numbers have two representations. For instance, the infinite decimals .999 ... and 1.000 ... represent the same real number 1. A similar statement holds for any number with an infinite tail of 9'so The real numbers can be represented geometrically as points on a number line called the real line.

RuLes for inequaLities I

If a, b, and e are real numbers, then:

+e< b+e b ~ a - e < b - e band e > 0 ~ ae < be band e < 0 ~ be < ae Special case: a < b ~ -b < -a

-5 and 1/2 > 1/5. The completeness property of the real number system is deeper and harder to define precisely. However, the property is essential to the idea of a limit (Chapter 2). Roughly speaking, it says that there are enough real numbers to "complete" the real number line, in the sense that there are no "holes" or "gaps" in it. Many theorems of calculus would fail if the real number system were not complete. The topic is best saved for a more advanced course, but Appendix 6 hints about what is involved and how the real numbers are constructed.

AP-1

AP-2

Appendices We distinguish three special subsets ofreal numbers.

1. 2. 3.

The natural numbers, namely 1,2,3,4, ... The integers, namely 0, ± I, ±2, ±3, ... The rational numbers, namely the numbers that can be expressed in the form of a fraction min, where m and n are integers and nolO. Examples are

I 3'

4 9

-4 9

4 -9'

200 13'

57 = 57 I

and

The rational numbers are precisely the real numbers with decimal expansions that are either (a) terminating (ending in an infinite string of zeros), for example,

43

= 0.75000 ... = 0.75

or

(b) eventually repeating (ending with a block of digits that repeats over and over), for example 23

IT

-

= 2.090909... = 2.09

The bar indicates the block

of repeating digits.

A terminating decimal expansion is a special type of repeating decimal, since the ending zeros repeat. The set ofrational numbers has all the algebraic and order properties ofthe real numbers but lacks the completeness property. For example, there is no rational number whose square is 2; there is a ''hole'' in the rational line where should be. Real numbers that are not rational are called irrational numbers. They are characterized by having nonterminating and noorepeating decimal expansions. Examples are 1r, and 10glO 3. Since every decimal expansion represents a real number, it should be clear that there are infmitely many irrational numbers. Both rational and irrational numbers are found arbitrarily close 10 any point on the realline. Set notation is very useful for specifying a particular subset ofreal numbers. A set is a collection ofobjects, and these objects are the elements ofthe set. If S is a set, the notation a E S means that a is an element of S, and a I'! S means that a is not an element of S. If S and T are sets, then S U T is their union and consists of all elements belonging either to S or T (or to both S and T). The intersection S n T consists of all elements belonging 10 both S and T. The empty set 0 is the set that contains no elements. For example, the intersection ofthe rational numbers and the irrational numbers is the empty set. Some sets can be described by listing their elements in braces. For instance, the set A consisting ofthe natural numbers (or positive integers) less than 6 can be expressed as

v2

v2, '¥5,

A=

{1,2,3,4,5}.

The entire set of integers is written as {O, ± I, ±2, ±3, ... } . Another way to describe a set is 10 enclose in braces a rule that generates all the elements of the set. For instance, the set

A = {xix is an integer and 0 is the set of positive integers less than 6.

<x
6 is an interval, as is the set of all x such that - 2 :5 X :5 5. The set of all nonzero real numbers is not an interval; since 0 is absent, the set fails to contain every real number between -1 and 1 (for example). Geometrically, intervals correspond to rays and line segments on the real line, along with the real line itself. Intervals of numbers corresponding to line segments are finite intervals; intervals corresponding to rays and the real line are infinite intervals. A finite interval is said to be closed if it contains both ofits endpoints, half-open if it contains one endpoint but not the other, and open if it contains neither endpoint. The endpoints are also called boundary points; they make up the interval's boundary. The remaining points of the interval are interior points and together comprise the interval's interior. Infinite intervals are closed if they contain a finite endpoint, and open otherwise. The entire real line B;l is an infinite interval that is both open and closed Table A.l summarizes the various types of intervals.

FIGURE A.S Points labeled in the xy-coordinate or Cartesian plane. The points on the axes all have coordinate pairs but are usually labeled with single real numbers, (so (I, 0) on the x-axis is labeled as I). Notice the coordinate sign patterns of the quadrants.

Cartesian Coordinates in the Plane In Appendix I we identified the points on the line with real numbers by assigning them coordinates. Points in the plane can be identified with ordered pairs of real numbers. To begin, we draw two perpendicular coordinate lines that intersect at the O-point of each line. These lines are called coordinate axes in the plane. On the horizontal x-axis, numbers are denoted by x and increase to the right. On the vertical y-axis, numbers are denoted by y and increase upward (Figure AA). Thus "upward" and "to the right" are positive directions, whereas "downward" and ''to the left" are considered as negative. The origin 0, also labeled 0, of the coordinate system is the point in the plane where x and y are both zero. IfP is any point in the plane, it can be located by exactly one ordered pair of real numbers in the following way. Draw lines through P perpendicular to the two coordinate axes. These lines intersect the axes at points with coordinates a and b (Figure A4). The ordered pair (a, b) is assigned to the pointP and is called its coordinate pair. The first number a is the ","coordinate (or abscissa) of P; the second number b is the )'-Coordinate (or ordinate) of P. The x-coordinate of every point on the y-axis is O. The y-coordinate of every point on the x-axis is O. The origin is the point (0, 0). Stsrting with an ordered pair (a, b), we can reverse the process and arrive at a correspondingpointPin the plane. Often we identifY Pwith the ordered pair and write P(a, b). We sometimes also refer to "the point (a, b)" and it will be clear from the context when (a, b) refers to a point in the plane and not to an open interval on the real line. Several points labeled by their coordinates are shown in Figure A5. TIris coordinate system is called the rectangular coordinate system or Cartesian coordinate system (after the sixteenth-century French mathematician Rene Descartes). The coordinate axes oftbis coordinate or Cartesian plane divide the plane into four regions called quadrants, numbered counterclockwise as shown in Figure A5. The graph of an equation or inequality in the variables x and y is the set of all points P(x, y) in the plane whose coordinates satisfY the equation or inequality. When we plot data in the coordinate plane or graph formulas whose variables have different units of measure, we do not need to use the same scale on the two axes. If we plot time vs. thrust for a rocket motor, for example, there is no reason to place the mark that shows I sec on the time axis the same distance from the origin as the mark that shows I Ib on the throst axis. Usually when we graph functions whose variables do not represent pbysical measurements and when we draw figures in the coordinate plane to study their geometry and trigonometry, we try to make the scales on the axes identical. A vertical unit of distance then looks the same as a horizontal unit. As on a surveyor's map or a scale drawing, line segments that are supposed to have the same length will look as if they do and angles that are supposed to be congruent will look congruent. Computer displays and calculator displays are another matter. The vertical and horizontal scales on machine-generated graphs usually differ, and there are corresponding distortions in distances, slopes, and angles. Circles may look like ellipses, rectangles may look like squares, right angles may appear to be acute or obtuse, and so on. We discuss these displays and distortions in greater detail in Section 1.4.

Increments and Straight Lines When a particle moves from one point in the plane to another, the net changes in its coordinates are called increments. They are calculated by subtracting the coordinates of the

has the same value for every choice of the two points P,(XIoYI) and P,(x"y,) on the line (Figure A 7). This is because the ratios of corresponding sides for similar triangles are equal.

FIGURE A.7 Triangles P,QP, and Pl'Q'P2' are similar, so the ratio of their sides has the same value for any two

points on the line. Ibis common value is the line's slope.

The slope tells us the direction (uphill, downhill) and steepness of a line. A line with positive slope rises uphill to the right; one with negative slope falls downhill to the right (Figure A8). The greater the absolute value of the slope, the more rapid the rise or faIl. The slope of a vertical line is undejined. Since the run Ax is zero for a vertical line, we cannot form the slope ratio m. The direction and steepness of a line can also be measured with an angle. The angle of inclination of a line that crosses the x-axis is the smallest counterclockwise angle from the x-axis to the line (Figure A9). The inclination of a horizontal line is 0°. The inclination of a vertical line is 90°. If e/> (the Greek letter phi) is the inclination of a line, then o :5 e/> < 180°. The relationship between the slope m of a nonverticaI line and the line's angle ofinclination e/> is shown in Figure A.10:

m

Straight lines have relatively simple equations. All points on the vertlea/line through the point a on the x-axis have x-coordinates equal to a. Thus, X = a is an equation for the vertical line. Similarly, Y = b is an equation for the horizon/a/line meeting the y-axis at b. (See Figure All.) We can write an equation for a nonvertical straight line L if we know its slope m and the coordinates of one point PI(XIo Yl) on it. If Pix, y) is any other point on L, then we can

The y-coordinate ofthe point where a nonverticalline intersects the y-axis is called the y-intercept ofthe line. Similarly, the x-intercept of a nonhorizontailine is the x-coordinate of the point where it crosses the x-axis (Figure A. 13). A line with slope m and y-intercept b passes through the point (0, b), so it has equation y = b

+ m(x

- 0),

or, more simply,

y = mx

+ b.

The eqoation

y=mx+b FIGUREA.12

The line in Example 3.

is called the slope-intercept equation of the line with slope mandy-intercept b.

Lines with equations of the form y = mx have y-intercept 0 and so pass through the origin. Equations oflines are called linear equations. The equation (A and B not both 0)

Ax+By=C

is called the general linear equation in x and y because its graph always represents a line and every line has an equation in this form (including lines with undefined slope).

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

FIGURE A.13 LineLhasx-intercept a and y-intercept b.

Lines that are parallel have equal angles ofinclination, so they have the same slope (if they are not vertical). Conversely, lines with equal slopes have equal angles of inclination and so are parallel. If two nonverticallines Ll and L2 are perpendicular, their slopes ml and m2 satisfY mt m2 = -I, so each slope is the negative reciprocal ofthe other: mt =

I -m2'

To see this, notice by inspecting similar triangles in Figure A.14 that mt = a/h, and m2 = -h/a. Hence, mlm2 = (a/h)( -h/a) = -1.

Distance and Circles in the Plane The distance between points in the plane is calculated with a formula that comes from the Pythagorean theorem (Figure A.15).

is a parabola whose axis (axis of symmetry) is the y-axis. The parabola's vertex (point where the parabola and axis cross) lies at the origin. The parabola opens upward if a > 0 and downward if a < O. The larger the value ofla I, the narrower the parabola (Figure A. 19). Generally, the gmph of y = ax 2 + bx + c is a shifted and scaled version of the parabola y = x 2 • We discuss shifting and scaling of gmphs in more detail in Section 1.2.

The Graph of y

The graph of the equation y = ax 2 + bx + c, a i' 0, is a parabola. The parabola opens upward if a > 0 and downward if a < O. The axis is the line (2)

The vertex of the parabola is the point where the axis and parabola intersect. Its x-coordinate is x = -b/2a; itsy-coordinate is found by substitoting x = -b/2a in the parabola's equation.

AP-23

Theory of the Real Numbers A rigorous development ofcalculus is based on properties of the real numbers. Many results about functions, derivatives, and integrals would be false if stated for functions dermed ouly on the rational numbers. In this appendix we briefly examine some basic concepts of the theory of the reals that bint at wbat might be learned in a deeper, more theoretical study of calculus. Three types of properties make the real numbers wbat they are. These are the algebraic, order, and completeness properties. The algebraic properties involve addition and multiplication, subtraction and division. They apply to rational or complex numbers as well as to the reals. The structure of numbers is built around a set with addition and multiplication operations. The following properties are required of addition and multiplication.

A4

+ (b + c) = (a + b) + c for all a, b, c. a + b = b + a for all a, b. There is a number called "0" such that a + 0 = a for all a. For each number a, there is a b such that a + b = O.

Ml

a(bc) = (ab)cforalla,b,c.

M2

ab = ba for all a, b.

Al

M3

There is a number called "I" such that a' I = a for all a.

M4

For each nonzero a, there is a b such that ab = I.

n

a(b

+

c) = ab

+ bc for all a, b, c.

Al and Ml are associative laws, A2 and M2 are commutativity laws, A3 and M3 are identity laws, and D is the distributive law. Sets that bave these algebraic properties are examples of fields, and are studied in depth in the area of theoretical mathematics called abstract algebra. The order properties allow us to compare the size of any two numbers. The order properties are 01

For any a and b, either a :5 b or b :5 a or both.

03 is the transitivity law, and 04 and 05 relate ordering to addition and multiplication. We can order the reals, the integers, and the rational numbers, but we cannot order the complex numbers. There is no reasonable way to decide whether a number like i = is bigger or smaller than zero. A field in which the size of any two elements can be compared as above is called an ordered field. Both the rational numbers and the real numbers are ordered fields, and there are many others. We can think of real numbers geometrically, lining them up as points on a line. The completeness property says that the real numbers correspond to all points on the line, with no ~'holes" or ugaps." The rationals, in contrast, omit points such as and 1T' , and the integers even leave out fractions like 1/2. The reals, baving the completeness property, omit no points. What exactly do we mean by this vague idea ofmissing holes? To answer this we must give a more precise description of completeness. A number M is an upper bound for a set of numbers if all numbers in the set are smaller than or equal to M. M is a least upper bound if it is the smallest upper bound. For example, M = 2 is an upper bound for the

v'=1

0

AP-24 Appendices negative nwnbers. So is M = 1, showing that 2 is not a least upper bound. The least upper bound for the set ofnegative nwnbers is M = O. We define a complete ordered field to be one in which every nonempty set bounded above has a least upper bound. If we work with just the rational nwnbers, the set of nwnbers less than is bounded, but it does not have a rational least upper bound, since any rational upper bound M can be replaced by a slightly smaller rational nwnber that is still larger than V2. So the rationals are not complete. In the real nwnbers, a set that is bounded above always has a least upper bound. The reals are a complete ordered field. The completeness property is at the heart of many results in calculus. One example occurs when searching for a maxin3wn value for a function on a closed interval [a, b], as in Section 4.1. The function y = x - x' has a maximwn value on [0, I] at the point x satisfYing 1 - 3x 2 = 0, or x = Vfl3. If we limited our consideration to functions defined only on rational nwnbers, we would have to conclude that the function has no maximwn, since Vfl3 is irrational (Figure A.22). The Extreme Value Theorem (Section 4.1), which in3plies that continuous functions on closed intervals [a, b] have a maxin3wn value, is not true for functions dermed only on the rationals. The Intermediate Value Theorem in3plies that a continuous function 1 on an interval [a,b]with/(a) < Oand/(b) > omust be zero somewhere in [a, b].The function values canoot jwnp from negative to positive without there being some point x in [a, b] where I(x) = O. The Intermediate Value Theorem also relies on the completeness of the real nwnbers and is false for continuous functions defined only on the rationals. The function I(x) = 3x 2 - 1 has 1(0) = -I and 1(1) = 2, but if we consider 1 only on the rational an nwnbers, it never equals zero. The only value ofx for which I(x) = 0 is x = irrational nwnber. We have captored the desired properties of the reals by saying that the real nwnbers are a complete ordered field. But we're not quite finished. Greek mathematicians in the school of Pythagoras tried to in3pose another property on the nwnbers of the real line, the condition that all nwnbers are ratios of integers. They learned that their effort was doomed when they discovered irrational nwnbers such as \12. How do we know that our efforts to specifY the real nwnbers are not also flawed, for some unseen reason? The artist Escher drew optical illusions of spiral staircases that went up and up until they rejoined themselves at the bottom. An engineer trying to build such a staircase would find that no structore realized the plans the architect had drawn. Could it be that our design for the reals contains some subtle contradiction, and that no construction of such a nwnber system can be made? We resolve this issue by giving a specific description of the real nwnbers and verifying that the algebraic, order, and completeness properties are satisfied in this model. This is called a construction of the reals, and just as stairs can be built with wood, stone, or steel, there are several approaches to constructing the reals. One construction treats the reals as all the inImite decimals,

but verifying the algebraic properties is rather involved. Even adding or multiplying two numbers requires an inf"mite number of operations. Making sense of division requires a careful argument involving limits of rational approximations to infinite decimals. A different approach was taken by Richard Dedekind (1831-1916), a German mathematician, who gave the first rigorous construction of the real numbers in 1872. Given any real number x, we can divide the rational numbers into two sets: those less !ban or equal to x and those greater. Dedekind cleverly reversed tIris reasoning and defined a real number to be a division of the rational numbers into two such sets. This seems like a strange approach, but such indirect methods of constructing new structures from old are common in theoretical mathematics. These and other approaches can be used to construct a system of numbers having the desired algebraic, order, and completeness properties. A final issue that arises is whether all the constructions give the same tiring. Is it possible that different constructions result in different number systems satisfying all the required properties? If yes, which of these is the real numbers? Fortunately, the answer turns out to be no. The reals are the only number system satisfying the algebraic, order, and completeness properties. Confusion about the nature of the numbers and about limits caused considerable controversy in the early development of calculus. Calculus pioneers such as Newton, Leibniz, and their successors, when looking at what happens to the difference quotient ~y ~

f(x +

~x)

- f(x)

~

as each of ~y and ~ approach zero, talked about the resulting derivative being a quotient of two inf"mitely small quantities. These "inf"mitesimals;' written ax and dy, were thought to be some new kind of number, smaller !ban any fixed number but not zero. Similarly, a def"mite integral was thought of as a sum of an infinite number of inf"mitesimals

f(x) "ax as x varied over a closed interval. While the approximating difference quotients ~y/ ~x were understood much as today, it was the quotient ofinfinitesimal quantities, rather than a limit, that was thought to encapsulate the meaning of the derivative. This way ofthinking led to logical difficulties, as attempted def"mitions and manipulations of infinitesimals ran into contradictions and inconsistencies. The more concrete and computable difference quotients did not cause such trouble, but they were thought of merely as useful calculation tools. Difference quotients were used to work out the numerical value of the derivative and to derive general formulas for calculation, but were not considered to be at the heart of the question of what the derivative actually was. Today we realize that the logical problems associated with infinitesimals can be avoided by defining the derivative to be the limit of its approximating difference quotients. The ambiguities of the old approach are no longer present, and in the standard theory of calculus, infinitesimals are neither needed nor used.

Complex Numbers Complex numbers are expressions ofthe form a + Ib, where a and b are real numbers and I is a symbol for v'=I. Unfortunately, the words ''real'' and ''imaginary'' have connotations that somehow place v'=I in a less favorable position in our minds !ban v'2. As a matter of fact, a good deal of imagination, in the sense of Inventiveness, has been required to construct the real number system, which forms the basis of the calculus (see Appendix A.6). In this appendix we review the various stages of this invention. The further invention of a complex number system is then presented.

AP- 26 Appendices The Development of the Real Numbers The earliest stage of number development was the recognition of the counting numbers 1,2,3, ... , which we now call the natural numbers or the positive integers. Certain simple arithmetical operations can be performed with these numbers without getting outside the system. That is, the system of positive integers is closed under the operations of addition and multiplication. By this we mean that if m and n are any positive integers, then

m+n

=

P

and

mn

= q

(1)

are also positive integers. Given the two positive integers on the left side of either equation in (I), we can find the corresponding positive integer on the right side. More than this, we can sometimes specify the positive integers m and P and tmd a positive integer n such that m + n = p. For instance, 3 + n = 7 can be solved when the ouly numbers we know are the positive integers. But the equation 7 + n = 3 cannot be solved unless the number system is enlarged. The number zero and the negative integers were invented to solve equations like 7 + n = 3. In a civilization that recognizes all the integers

... , -3, -2, -1, 0,1,2,3, ... ,

(2)

an educated person can always find the missing integer that solves the equation m + n = p when given the other two integers in the equation. Suppose our educated people also know how to multiply any two of the integers in the list (2). If, in Equations (I), they are given m and q, they discover that sometimes they can find n and sometimes they cannot. Using their imagination, they may be inspired to invent still more numbers and introduce fractions, which are just ordered pairs min of integers m and n. The number zero has special properties that may bother them for a while, but they ultimately discover that it is handy to have all ratios of integers min, excluding only those having zero in the denominator. This system, called the set of rational numbers, is now rich enough for them to perform the rational operations of arithmetic:

1. (a) addition (b) subtrsction

FIGURE 0\.23

With a straightedge and

compass, it is possible to construct a

2. (a) multiplication (b) division

on any two numbers in the system, except that they cannot divide by zero because it is meaningless. The geometry of the unit square (Figure A.23) and the Pythagorean theorem showed that they could construct a geometric line segment that, in terms of some basic unit of length, has length equal to Thus they could solve the equation

V2.

x2

segment ofirrationalleogth.

= 2

by a geometric construction. But then they discovered that the line segment representing is an incommensurable quantity. This means that cannot be expressed as the ratio oftwo integer multiples of some unit oflength. That is, our educated people could not tmd a rational number solution of the equation x 2 = 2. There is no rational number whose square is 2. To see why, suppose that there were such a rational number. Then we could find integers p and q with no common factor other !ban 1, and such that

V2

V2

p2 = 2 q 2.

(3)

Since p and q are integers, p must be even; otherwise its product with itself would be odd. In aymbols, p = 2PI, wbere PI is an integer. This leads to 2pl2 = q2 which says q must be even, say q = 2qj, where ql is an integer. This makes 2 a factor of both p and q, contrary to our choice ofp and q as integers with no common factor other !ban I. Hence there is no rational number whose square is 2.

that converges to 2 as its limit. This time their imagination suggested that they needed the concept of a limit of a sequence of rational numbers. If we accept the fact that an increasing sequence that is bounded from above always approaches a limit (Theorem 6, Section 10.1) and observe that the sequence in (4) has these properties, then we want it to have a limit L. This would also mean, from (5), that L 2 = 2, and hence L is not one of our rational numbers. If to the rational numbers we further add the limits of all bounded increasing sequences ofrational numbers, we arrive at the system of all ''real'' numbers. The word real is placed in quotes because there is nothing that is either "more real" or "less real" about this system than there is about any other mathematical system.

The Complex Numbers Imagination was called upon at many stages during the development of the real number system. In fact, the art of invention was needed at least three times in constructing the systems we have discussed so far:

1.

The first invented system: the set of all integers as constructed from the counting numbers.

2.

The second invented system: the set of rational numbers min as constructed from the integers.

3.

The third invented system: the set of all real numbers x as constructed from the rational numbers.

These invented systems form a hierarchy in which each system contains the previous system. Each system is also richer than its predecessor in that it permits additional operations to be performed without going outside the system:

1.

In the system of all integers, we can solve all equations of the form

x

+a=

0,

(6)

where a can be any integer.

2.

In the system of all rational numbers, we can solve all equations of the form

ax + b

=

0,

(7)

provided a and b are rational numbers and a .. O. 3.

In the system of all real numbers, we can solve all ofEquations (6) and (7) and, in addition, all quadratic equations

having

and

b2

(8)

You are probably familiar with the formula that gives the solutions of Equation (8), namely,

x=

-b ± Vb 2 2a

-

4ac

(9)

AP-28

Appendices and are familiar with the further fact that when the discriminant, b 2 - 4ac, is negative, the solutions in Equation (9) do not belong to any of the systems discussed above. In fact, the very simple quadratic equation

x2 + I

=

0

is impossible to solve if the only number systems that can be used are the three invented systems mentioned so far. Thus we come to the fourth invented system, the set of all complex numbers a + ib. We could dispense entirely with the symbol i and use the ordered pair notation (a, b). Since, under algebraic operations, the numbers a and b are treated somewhat differently, it is essential to keep the order straight. We therefore might say that the complex number system consists of the set of all ordered pairs of real numbers (a, b), together with the rules by which they are to be equated, added, multiplied, and so on, listed below. We will use both the (a, b) notation and the notation a + ib in the discussion that follows. We call a the real part and b the imaginary part of the complex number (a, b). We make the following definitions. Equality a+ib=c+id if and only if a = candb = d.

Two complex numbers (a, b) and (c, tl) are equal if and only if a = candb = d.

Addition (a + ib) + (c + id) = (a + c) + i(b + tl)

The sum of the two complex numbers (a, b) and (c, tl) is the complex number (a + c, b + d).

Multiplication (a + ib)(c + itl) = (ac - btl) + i(ad c(a

+ ib)

=

ac

The product of two complex numbers (a, b) and (c, tl) is the complex number (ac - bd, ad

+ bc)

+ i(bc)

+ be).

The product of a real number c and the complex number (a, b) is the complex number (ac, be).

The set of all complex numbers (a, b) in which the second number b is zero has all the properties of the set of real numbers a. For example, addition and multiplication of (a, 0) and (c, 0) give

+ (c,O)

=

(a

(a, 0)' (c, 0)

=

(ac, 0),

(a,O)

+ c,O),

which are numbers of the same type with imaginary part equal to zero. Also, if we multiply a "real number" (a, 0) and the complex number (c, d), we get (a, 0)' (c, d) = (ac, atl) = a(c, d). In particular, the complex number (0, 0) plays the role of zero in the complex number

system, and the complex number (I, 0) plays the role of unity or one. The number pair (0, I), which has real part equal to zero and imaginary part equal to one, has the property that its square,

(0,1)(0, I)

=

(-1,0),

has real part equal to minus one and imaginary part equal to zero. Therefore, in the system of complex numbers (a, b) there is a number x = (0, I) wbose square can be added to unity = (1,0) to produce zero = (O,O),thatis,

(0, 1)2 + (1,0)

=

(0,0).

Appendix 7 Complex Numbe"

AP-29

The equation

x2

+

I = 0

therefore bas a solution x = (0, I) in this new number system. You are probably more familiar with the a + ib notation than you are with the notation (a, b). And since the laws of algebra for the ordered pairs enable us to write (a, b) = (a,O)

+ (0, b)

= a(l,

0)

+ b(O, I),

while (I, 0) behaves like unity and (0, I) behaves like a square root of minus one, we need not hesitate to write a + ib in place of (a, b). The i associated with b is like a 1Iacer element that tags the imaginary part of a + ib. We can pass at will from the rea1m of ordered pairs (a, b) to the realm of expressions a + ib, and conversely. But there is nothing less "real" about the symbol (0, I) = i than there is about the symbol (I, 0) = I, once we have learned the laws of algebra in the complex number system of ordered pairs (a, b). To reduce any rational combination of complex numbers to a single complex number, we apply the laws of elementary algebra, replacing i 2 wherever it appears by -I. Of course, we cannot divide by the complex number (0, 0) = 0 + iO. But if a + ib 0, then we may carry out a division as follows:

*

e

+ id

a + ib

(e (a

+ id)(a + ib)(a

- ib) - ib)

(ae

+

bd)

+

i(ad - be)

a2 + b 2

The result is a complex number x + iy with ae

x

= a2

+ bd + b2 '

*

y

=

ad - be a2 + b 2 '

*

anda 2 + b 2 O,sincea + ib = (a,b) (0,0). The number a - ib that is used as multiplier to clear the i from the denominator is called the complex conjugate of a + ib. It is customary to use Z (read "z bar") to denote the complex conjugate ofz; thus

z

=

a + ib,

z=

a - ib.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator ofthe fraction (e + id)/(a + ib) by the complex conjugate of the denominator will alwsys replace the denominator by a real number.

EXAMPLE 1

We give some illustrations of the arithmetic operations with complex

numbers. (a) (2 + 3i) + (6 - 2i) = (2 + 6) + (3 - 2)i = 8 + i (b) (2 + 3i) - (6 - 2i) = (2 - 6) + (3 - (-2))i = -4 + 5i

(c) (2 + 3i)(6 - 2i) = (2)(6) + (2)( -2i) + (3i)(6) + (3i)( -2i) = 12 - 4i + 18i - 6i 2 = 12 + 14i + 6 = 18 + 14i

The polar angle II is called the argument of z and is written II = arg z. Of course, any integer multiple of 2'IT may be added to II to produce another appropriate angle.

z·z =

Since cos II + i sin II is what we get from Equation (10) by taking r = I, we can say that e '• is represented by a unit vector that makes an angle II with the positive x-axis, as shown in Figure A.25.

Thus, the product of two complex numbers is represented by a vector whose length is the product ofthe lengths ofthe two factors and whose argument is the sum oftheir arguments (Figure A.26). In particular, from Equation (12) a vector may be rotated counterclockwise through an angle 9 by multiplying it by e i'. Multiplication by i rotates 90°, by -I rotates 180°, by -i rotates 270°, and so on.

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

V=1

One might say that the invention of is all well and good and leads to a number system that is richer than the real number system alone; but where will this process end? Are we also going to invent still more systems so as to obtain ~, ~,and so on? But it turns out this is not necessary. These numbers are already expressible in terms ofthe complex number system a + ib. In fact, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra says that with the introduction of the complex numbers we now have enough numbers to factor every polynomial into a product of linear factors and so enough numbers to solve every possible polynomial equation.

k[fy(a + h, d2) - Iy(a, d2)].

Finally, we apply the Mean Value Theorem to the expression in brackets and get (10)

for some e2 between a and a + h. Together, Equations (5) and (10) show that

1"1(e1, d,)

=

1",(e2, d2),

(11)

where (e1, d,) and (e2, d2) both lie in the rectangle R' (Figure A.32). Equation (11) is not quite the result we want, since it says only that 1"1 has the same value at (e1, d,) that Iyx has at (e2, d2). The numbers h and k in our discussion, however, may be made as small as we wish. The hypothesis that 1"1 and Iyx are both continuous at (a, b) means that 1"1(e1,d,) = 1"1(a,b) + €,and/yx(e2,d2) = Iyx(a,b) + €2,whereeachof€1,€2--->Oas both h, k---> O. Hence, if we let hand k---> 0, we have 1"1(a, b) = Iyx(a, b). • The eqnality of I "1( a, b) and I yx( a, b) can be proved with hypotheses weaker than the ones we assumed. For example, it is enough for I, Ix> and I y to exist in R and for 1"1 to be continuous at (a, b). Then Iyx will exist at (a, b) and eqnal 1"1 at that point.

THEOREM 3-The Increment Theorem for Functions of Two variables Suppose that the first partial derivatives of f(x, y) are defined throughout an open region R containing the point (xo, YO) and that fx and fy are continuous at (xo, yo). Then the change

fy, fz in Equation (15) are to be evaluated at the point (xo, Yo, zo) . Equation (15) can be proved by treating aw as the sum oftbree increments,

aWl

=

aW2 aW3

= =

f(xo + ax,yo,zo) - f(xo,yo,zo) f(xo + ax,yO + ay,zo) - f(xo + ax,yO,zo) f(xo + ax,yO + ay,zO + az) - f(xo + ax,yO

(16) (17)

+ ay,zo),

(18)

and applying the Mean Value Theorem to each ofthese separately. Two coordinates remain constant and only one varies in each of these partial increments aWl, aW2, aW3. In Equation (17), for example, only y varies, since x is held equal to xo + ax and z is held equal to zoo Since f(xo + ax,y, zo) is a continuous function ofy with a derivative fy, it is subject to the Mean Value Theorem, and we have

aW2 for some Yl between Yo and Yo

=

+ ay.

fy(xo + ax,yl,Zo) ay

SERIES

Tests for Convergence of Infinite Series 5. Series with some negative terms: Does LI an Iconverge? If yes, so does Lan since absolute convergence implies convergence.

1. The nth-Term Test: Unless an ~ 0, the series diverges. 2. Geometric series: Lar n converges if Irl < 1; otherwise it diverges.

2: IjnI' converges if p >

3. p-series:

6. Alternating series: Lan converges ifthe series satisfies the conditions of the Alternating Series Test.

I; otherwise it diverges.

4. Series with nonnegative terms: Try the Integral Test, Ratio Test, or Root Test. Try comparing to a known series with the Comparison Test or the Limit Comparison Test.
