Integral of the Reciprocal Function: 6-1—Why we need it. 6-2—What it can’t be. 6-2—What it could be. 6-3—By definition it is: How we can use it.
2
By the end of today, you will: Practice logarithm properties Find derivatives of functions involving ln Find integrals of reciprocal functions Solve a relevant population problem
3
the big problem: The more people in a community, the more babies are born per year. Assume that a small town has a population of P = 1000 people now and that the population is growing at an instantaneous rate of 5% per year. This is called a differential equation. You solve these problems with the three I’s Interpret Isolate Integrate
5
What it can’t be. Let’s try to solve this using the power rule:
6
What it could be. Look at the sketch in Foerster’s book on page 252 x0.512345678 g(x) Use this table to answer problems 5 and 6 from Foerster’s book on page 252-253
7
By definition it is…
