DIFFERENTIALS
Sometimes this is called "linearization." A differential is a very small quantity that corresponds to a
change in a number. We use the symbol & to denote a differential. What are differentials used for?
The AP exam mostly wants you to use them to approximate the value of a function or to find the
error of an approximation.

Recall the formula for the definition of the derivative:


f'(x)=lim f(x+h)—f(x)

plug away:
dS = 8trdr = 8t(4)(±.01)= ±1.0053

This looks like a big error, but given that the surface area of a sphere with radius 4 is approximately
201 cm2, the error is quite small.

LOGARITHMIC DIFFERENTIATION
There's one last topic in differential caiculus that you BC students need to know: logarithmic dif-
ferentiation. lt's a very simple and handy technique used to find the derivatives of expressions that
involve a lot of algebra. By employing the rules of logarithms, we can find the derivatives of expres-
sions that woi:tld otherwise require a messy combination of the Chain Rule, the Product Rule, and
the Quotient Rule.
First, let's review a couple of rules of logarithms (remember, when we refer to a logarithm in
caiculus, we mean the natural log (base e), not the cornmon log):

lnA+lnB=J.n(AB)

lnA—lnB=1n(
In AB =B1nA

For example, we can rewrite ln(x + 3)5 as 51n(x +3).

U-SUBSTITUTION
When we discussed differentiation, one of the most important techniques we mastered was the Cham
Rule. Now, you'll learn the integration corollary of the Chain Rule (called u-substitution), which we
use when the integrand is a composite function. All you do is replace the function with u, and then
you can integrate the simpler function using the Power Rule (as shown below):

un+1
1J udu=—+C
n+1

Suppose you have to mntegrate J (x - 4)10


dx. You could expand out this function and integrate

each term, but that'll take a whlle. Instead, you can follow these four steps:

du
Step 1: Let u = x -4. Then =1 (rearrange this to get du = dx).
dx
Step 2: Substitute u = x -4 and du = dx into the integrand:

Next, find where the two curves intersect. By setting y3 - y = 0, you'll find that they intersect at
y = -1, y = 0, and y = 1. Notice that the curve is to the right of the yaxis from y -1 to = 0 and
to the left of the y-axis from y = 0 to = 1. Thus, the region must be divided into two parts: from
y=-ltoy=Oandfromy=Otoy=1.
Set up the two integrals:

5°(y3 _y)dy+f(y_y3)dy

THE METHOD OF PARTIAL FRACTIONS


This is the last techruque you'll learn to evaluate integrals There are many, many more types of
integrals and techniques to learn; in fact, there are courses in college primarily concerned with
integrals and their usesT Fortunately for you, they're not on the AP exam (and therefore, not in this
book). The BC exam usually has a partial fractions integral or two, and the concept isn't terribly hard.
We use the method of partial fractions to evaluate certain types of integrals that contain rational
expressions. First, let's discuss the type of algebra you'll be doing.
If you wanted to add the expressions ---- and you would do the following:
