Sec.5.2 - Area functions

Discovery Project in Sec.5.2, Calculus by Stewart Chinese version 面積函數 Question 1(a): Draw the line $y = 2t+1$ and use geometry to find the area under this line, above the t-axis, and between the vertical lines $t=1$ and $t = 3$. Answer: let $f(x)=y=2t+1$, then $f(1)=3$ and $f(3)=7$. So, Area$= \frac{1}{2}(3+7)(3-1) = 10$ Question 1(b): If $x>1$, let $A(x)$ be the area of the region that lies

Sec.4.1 - The Calculus of ranbows

Applied Project in Sec.4.1, Calculus by Stewart Chinese version: 彩虹的微積分學 Rainbows are created when raindrops scatter sunlight. They have fascinated mankind since ancient times and have inspired attempts at scientific explanation since the time of Aristotle. In this project we use the ideas of Descartes and Newton to explain the shape, location, and colors of rainbows. Question 1: The figure shows a ray of
