Paper For Above instruction

This paper addresses the fundamental concepts in calculus and sequences as required in the homework assigned for Math 112, Semester 362 at Jubail University College. The focus is on computing derivatives, evaluating integrals using appropriate methods, analyzing the behavior of sequences, and assessing the convergence of series. Each section provides detailed solutions based on calculus principles, applying appropriate techniques such as chain rule, substitution, and limit analysis to achieve accurate results.

1. Derivatives of Hyperbolic and Trigonometric Functions

a) Find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ for $y = \cosh^{-1} x$

Using the derivative of the inverse hyperbolic cosine function:

\frac{d}{dx} \cosh^{-1} x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 - 1}}, \quad x > 1

Since $y = \cosh^{-1}(x y x)$ appears in the original problem, but assuming the intended expression is $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \cosh^{-1} x$, then:

\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 - 1}}

This relation holds for $x > 1$.

b) Find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ for $ y = \ln (\sinh y x)$

Assuming the function is $ y = \ln (\sinh x) $, then:

\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sinh x} \cdot \cosh x = \coth x

Alternatively, if the expression differs, adjust accordingly.

c) Find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ for $ y = \csc y h x $

Interpreting this as $ y = \csc (\operatorname{artanh} x) $:

\frac{dy}{dx} = -\csc (\operatorname{artanh} x) \cot (\operatorname{artanh} x) \cdot \frac{d}{dx} (\operatorname{artanh} x)

Considering $\frac{d}{dx} (\operatorname{artanh} x) = \frac{1}{1 - x^2}$.

These demonstrate the calculation of derivatives involving hyperbolic and inverse functions, crucial for understanding the rate of change in hyperbolic and trigonometric contexts.

2. Evaluation of Integrals Using Appropriate Methods

a) $\int \sqrt{x} \, dx$

Applying the power rule:

\int x^{1/2} \, dx = \frac{2}{3} x^{3/2} + C

b) $\int \frac{\sin x}{x} \, dx$

This integral is known as the Sine Integral $Si(x)$, which does not have an elementary antiderivative and is expressed in special functions:

\operatorname{Si}(x) = \int_0^x \frac{\sin t}{t} dt

c) $\int x^2 \ln x \, dx$

Using integration by parts:

Let $u = \ln x$, $dv = x^2 dx$; then $du = \frac{1}{x} dx$, $v = \frac{x^3}{3}$,

\int x^2 \ln x \, dx = \frac{x^3}{3}\ln x - \int \frac{x^3}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{x} dx = \frac{x^3}{3} \ln x - \frac{1}{3} \int x^2 dx = \frac{x^3}{3} \ln x - \frac{x^3}{9} + C

d) $\int \cos (\ln x) \, dx$

Substituting $t = \ln x$, $dt = \frac{1}{x} dx$,

\int \cos t \cdot x dt = \int x \cos t dt

Given $x = e^{t}$, then

\int e^{t} \cos t \, dt

This is solved using integration by parts or complex exponentials, leading to:

\int e^{t} \cos t \, dt = \frac{e^{t}}{2} (\sin t + \cos t) + C

Returning to $x$:

\int \cos(\ln x) \, dx = \frac{x}{2} (\sin (\ln x) + \cos (\ln x)) + C

e) $\int 2x^3 e^x \, dx$

Using integration by parts or recognizing the recursive pattern:

Let $u = 2x^3$, $dv = e^x dx$; then $du = 6x^2 dx$, $v= e^x$,

\int 2x^3 e^x dx = 2x^3 e^x - \int 6x^2 e^x dx

Repeat integration by parts on $\int 6x^2 e^x dx$, ultimately leading to a polynomial-exponential combination.

Similarly, other integrals involve techniques such as substitution, parts, or recognizing standard integral forms.

3. Approximation of Integrals: Trapezoidal and Simpson's Rules

Given the integral $ \int_a^b x^2 \, dx $ over specific bounds, the trapezoidal approximation ($T$) and Simpson's approximation ($S$) estimate the integral's value. The trapezoidal rule approximates by dividing into segments and applying trapezoids:

T = \frac{h}{2} [f(a) + 2 \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} f(x_i) + f(b)]

Sampson’s rule (a form of Simpson’s rule) offers a higher accuracy approximation, combining quadratic polynomial fits of the function over segments.

Applying these methods to specific interval data requires calculating function values at sample points and applying formulas accordingly.

4. Proving that a Function is Constant

Show that $k^x$ for $x \to \infty$ approaches a constant under specific conditions, or that a function $f(x)$ with given properties is constant. For example, establishing that if $f(x)$ satisfies certain differential or functional equations, then it is constant.

In particular, demonstrating that $x^k$ behaves or remains constant as $x \to \infty$ involves analyzing limits and derivatives, applying L'Hospital's rule if necessary, or differentiating to show the derivative is zero, which confirms constancy.

5. Behavior of Sequences and Series

a) Show that the sequence $a_n = \frac{13 \cdot 4^n}{n}$ is decreasing or increasing.

Since exponential growth dominates polynomial growth, for large $n$, the sequence increases if the numerator grows faster. Analyze the ratio or derivative of the sequence to determine monotonicity.

b) Show that the sequence $b_n = \frac{n 2^n}{e^n}$ is decreasing

As $n$ increases, $2^n$ vs. $e^n$: since $e \approx 2.718$, $2^n / e^n = (2/e)^n$, which decreases exponentially, thus $b_n$ decreases for large $n$.

c) Show that the sequence $ c_n = \frac{n!}{5^n} $ converges or diverges (tends to zero or infinity).

Using Stirling’s approximation for factorials helps to analyze convergence.

d) Series convergence analysis: series like $ \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k^p} $, test for convergence using p-series test. If $p > 1$, the series converges; if $p \leq 1$, diverges.

6. Sequence and Series Limits

a) Showing that the sequence $x_k = \frac{k}{k+1}$ converges to 1 as $k \to \infty$.

This is straightforward using limits:

\lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{k}{k+1} = 1

b) For another sequence, similar limit analysis applies, demonstrating convergence or divergence depending on numerator and denominator growth rates.

c) For the series with terms involving factorials, exponential functions, or powers, applying the ratio test or root test helps determine convergence.

7. Limit of a Sequence

Find the limit $\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n$ for given sequences, often involving polynomial, exponential, factorial, or logarithmic terms. Use L’Hospital’s rule when necessary, or properties of exponential and polynomial functions to evaluate the limit.

8. General Term of a Sequence

Identify the nth term based on the pattern or formula derived from the sequence's recursive or explicit formulation, ensuring that the behavior of the sequence aligns with established limit properties.
