(g(x))g(x)dx
Rearrange and set F(x) = f(x)f(g(x))g(x)dx = F(g(x))
Set u = g(x) and du = g(x)dx.
Then
f(g(x))g(x)dx =
f(u)du = F(u) + C = F(g(x)) + C
For the definite integralba

Differential Equations
1) Simple, first order differential equations may be divided into several classes.Differential equation Possible solution methodsy = f(t) Integrate both sides
y = p(t)q(y) Method of separationy = f(t, y) In general, if not separable then more advanced methods requiredy = g(y) (Autonomous) Method of separation OR Qualitative theory
2) Method of separation for equations of the form y = p(t)q(y), where h(y) = 1q(y)
h(y)dydt
=p(t) a) Write y as dydt
.h(y)dy
dtdt=
p(t)dt b) Integrate both sides with respect to t.
h(y)dy=
p(t)dt c) Rewrite the left-hand side by cancelling the dt.H(y)=P(t) + C d) Calculate the antiderivatives H(y) for h(y) and P(t) for p(t).
y= e) Solve for y in terms of t.y=Constant f) Recall that values ofy such that q(y) = 0 result in constant solutions.

3) Qualitative Theory of differential equations for autonomous equations of the form y = g(y).I) Corresponding to each zero ofg(y) there is a constant solution of the differential
equation. Specifically, if g(c) = 0, the constant function y = c is a solution.II) The constant solutions divide the ty-plane into horizontal strips. Each non-
constant solution lies completely in one strip.
III) Each nonconstant solution is either strictly increasing or decreasing.IV) Each nonconstant solution either is asymptotic to a constant solution or else
increases or decreases without bound.To use the qualitative theory:
i) Sketch the graph ofz = y = g(y) on a yz-coordinate system. Find and labelthe zeros of g(y).
ii) For each zero c of g(y) draw the contant solution y = c on the ty-coordinatesystem.
iii) Plot y(t0) on the y-axes of the two coordinate systems. y(t0) may be given orchosen from each strip.
iv) Determine whether the value of g(y) is positive or negative when y = y(t0).This tells us whether the solution is increasing or decreasing. On the ty graph,indicate the direction of the solution through y(t0).
v) On the yz graph, indicate which direction y should move. (Note: Ify is movingdown on the ty graph, y moves to the left on the yz graph.) As y movesin the proper direction on the yz graph, determine whether g(y) becomesmore positive, less positive, more negative, or less negative. This tells us theconcavity of the solution.
vi) Beginning at y(t0) on the ty graph, sketch the solution, being guided by theprinciple that the solution will grow (positively or negatively) without boundunless it encounters a constant solution. In this case, it will approach the
constant solution aymptotically.vii) On the ty-coordinate system draw dashed horizontal lines at all values of y at
which g(y) has a nonzero relative maximum or minimum point. A solutioncurve will have an inflection point whenever it crosses such a dashed line.
4) Differential equations arising from common application problemsDifferential equation Rate proportional to: Example applicationy = M + ky amount Exponential growth/decayy = k(M y) difference from setpoint Newtons law of coolingy = ky(M y) amount times difference from setpoint Constrained population growth

Partial Fraction Expansion
Solving initial value problems using Laplace transforms can lead to expressions of the form
Y(s) =N(s)
D(s) + Q1(s) + Q2(s) + . . .
where D(s) is a product of two or more terms in s. Rational expressions can often be split into severasimple expressions whose inverse is found by observation. The procedure is called partial fraction expansion(or decomposition) Consider two simple cases.
1) For factors ofD(s) of the form (ax + b)r the new expression will contain as many as r terms of the formk1
ax+b+ k2(ax+b)2 + . . . +
kr(ax+b)r
and
2) For factors of D(s) of the form (ax2 + bx + c)r the new expression will contain as many as r terms ofthe form p1x+q1
ax2+bx+c+ p2x+q2(ax2+bx+c)2 + . . . +
prx+qr(ax2+bx+c)r

+ . . . + p1x+q1ax2+bx+c
+ p2x+q2(ax2+bx+c)2
+ . . . + prx+qr(ax2+bx+c)r
and solve for the constants ki, pi, qi by multiplying both sides of the equation by D(s) and equating powersof s.

Infinite Series1) The sum of an infinite sequence of terms {f(k)}, k = 1, 2, 3, . is known as
an infinite seriesk=1
f(k). The value of an infinite series equals the limit of
partial sums limn
nk=1 f(k), if the series converges.
2) A necessary condition for the seriesk=1
f(k) to converge is that limk
ak = 0.
If this test fails, the series diverges.
3) The integral test states:Let f(x) be continuous, decreasing, and positive for x 1. Then the infinite seriesk=1
f(k) is convergent if the improper integral1
f(x)dx is convergent,
and the infinite series is divergent if the improper integral is divergent.
4) The comparison test states:
Suppose that 0 ak bk for k = 1, 2, . Ifk=1
bk converges, so doesk=1
ak
Likewise, ifk=1
ak diverges, so doesk=1
bk.
Alternatively, for series with negative terms, suppose thatk=1
bk is a convergent series
of positive terms and that |ak| bk for k = 1, 2, 3, . Then
k=1
bk is convergent.
5) A geometric series is an infinite series of the formk=0
crk.
In this case c is the first term of the series and the r is the ratio of any twoconsecutive terms: r = cr
k+1
crk. A geometric series is convergent
if |r| < 1 and divergent if |r| 1. Where convergent, the value of the sum is c1r

Taylor Polynomials/Taylor Series
1) The nth Taylor Polynomial approximation of a function f(x) at x = a is
pn(x) = f(a) +n
k=1
f(k)(a)
k!(x a)k
where f(k)(a) is the kth derivative of f(x) at x = a
2) The difference between pn(x) and f(x) is the nth Taylor remainder satisfying
f(x) pn(x) =f(n+1)(c)(n+1)!
(x a)n+1
for some c between a and the evaluation point x. By choosing M such that|f(k)(c)| M for all c between a and x, we obtain a boundon the error of the approximation pn(x).
|f(x)pn(x)| = |Rn(x)| |M|
(n+1)!|x a|n+1
3) The Taylor Series of a function may be written f(a) +k=1
f(k)(a)
k!(x a)k
The value of this infinite series equals the value of f(x) for all x withinthe region of convergence of the series (except in the case that Rn(x) does not go to zero).
4) The Taylor Series of a function may be obtained by manipulation of other known series.In particular, the following operations may be performed on Taylor Series:
integrationdifferentiationmultiplication by a constant or a power of xreplacing x by a constant times a power of x
addition or subtraction with a second Taylor Series

Normal system for quadratic re-
gression (y = Ax2 + Bx + C)
Recall that the normal system may also be obtained from the formula ATAv = ATy. For example, in thecase of linear regression, A is an Nx2 matrix ofxi values in column 1 and 1s in column 2, v is a 2x1 vectorcontaining m and b, and y is an Nx1 vector containing yi values. For a quadratic regression on the otherhand, column 1 of A contains values of x2i , column 2 contains values of xi and column 3 contains 1s, v isa 3x1 vector containing A, B and C, and y is an Nx1 vector containing yi values.
