306 • L’Hˆopital’s Rule and Overview of Limits
4. Logarithms:
– General tip: know the graph of y = ln(x) and the log rules,
which are in Section 9.1.4 of Chapter 9.
– Small arguments: a really important limit is
lim
x→0
+
ln(x) = −∞
(or, as a memory aid only, ln(0) = −∞). Also, logs “grow”
slowly down to −∞ as x → 0
+
:
lim
x→0
+
x
a
ln(x) = 0
for any a > 0, no matter how small. (See Section 9.4.6 in
Chapter 9.)
– Large arguments: we have
lim
x→∞
ln(x) = ∞,
which has the informal abbreviation ln(∞) = ∞. Nevertheless
logs grow slowly, that is, more slowly than any polynomial:
lim
x→∞
ln(x)
poly
= 0
for any polynomial of positive degree. (See Section 9.4.5 in
Chapter 9.)
– Behavior near 1: we have ln(1) = 0. L’Hˆopital’s Rule can be
very useful in this regard, or the limit might be a derivative in
disguise. (See Section 9.4.3 in Chapter 9.)
• If none of the above techniques work, consider using l’Hˆopital’s Rule (see
Section 14.1.6 above for a summary). If you do, you’ll always get a new
limit to solve, which you can attack using any of the above principles or
l’Hˆopital’s Rule once again.
All these facts and methods above are just tools to help you solve limits.
They may not work on every limit you see—in fact, we’ll be looking at a
completely different type of limit problem in Chapter 17—but they should
help with a heck of a lot of them. There’s an art to knowing which tool to
use, and of course, practice makes perfect. So go forth and evaluate limits!

Introduction to Integration
So far as calculus is concerned, differentiation is only half the story. The
other half concerns integration. This powerful tool enables us to find areas of
curved regions, volumes of solids, and distances traveled by objects moving at
variable speeds. In this chapter, we’ll spend some time developing the theory
we need to define the definite integral. Then, in the next chapter, we’ll give
the definition and see how to apply it. So here’s the plan for the preliminaries
on integration:
• sigma notation and telescoping sums;
• the relationship between displacement and area; and
• using partitions to find areas.
15.1 Sigma Notation
Consider the sum
1
1
+
1
4
+
1
9
+
1
16
+
1
25
+
1
36
.
This is not just a sum of random numbers: there’s a definite pattern. The
terms in the sum are reciprocals of the squares from 1
2
through 6
2
. Here’s a
more convenient way to write the sum:
6
X
j=1
1
j
2
.
To read it out loud, say “the sum, from j = 1 to 6, of 1/j
2
.” Now, here’s
how it actually works. The idea is that you plug j = 1, j = 2, j = 3, j = 4,
j = 5, and finally j = 6 into the expression 1/j
2
, one at a time, and then add
everything up. We can tell that we’re supposed to start at j = 1 and end up
at j = 6 by the symbols below and above the big Greek letter Σ (which is a
capital sigma, hence the term “sigma notation”). So we have
6
X
j=1

308 • Introduction to Integration
Notice that we haven’t actually worked out the value of the sum! All we’ve
done is abbreviate it.
Now consider the following series (that’s another word for “sum”) in sigma
notation:

Notice that the second-to-last term occurs when j = n − 1, and the third-to-
last term occurs when j = n − 2; I wrote those terms, along with the first
three and the last term, on the right-hand side of the above equation. The
other terms are all absorbed into the “···” in the middle.
In the sum
n
X
j=1

j

,
it looks as if there are two variables, j and n, but in reality there is only one:
it’s n. You can easily see this by looking at the expanded form

There’s no j at all! In fact, j is a dummy variable—it’s just a temporary
placeholder, called the index of summation, that runs through the integers
from 1 to n. So we could even change it to another letter without affecting
anything. For example, the following sums are all the same:

By the way, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen dummy variables: limits also use
them, so there’s nothing new here. (See the end of Section 3.1 of Chapter 3.)

m=1
5?
Don’t fall into the trap of saying that it’s equal to 5. Let’s look a little closer.
When m = 1, we have a term 5. When m = 2, we again have 5. The same
goes for m = 3, m = 4 and so on until m = 200. So in fact
200
X
m=1
5 = 5 + 5 + 5 + ··· + 5 + 5 + 5,
where there are 200 terms in the sum. So the value works out to be 200 × 5,
or 1000. Similarly, consider the series

1 = 1 + 1 + 1 + ··· + 1 + 1 + 1.
How many terms of 1 are there in this sum? You might be tempted to say
that there are 1000 − 100, or 900, but actually there’s one more. The answer
is 901. In general, the number of integers between A and B, including A
and B, is B − A + 1.

sin(1) + sin(3) + sin(5) + ··· + sin(2997) + sin(2999) + sin(3001)
in sigma notation? You might try
3001
X
j=1
sin(j),
but that’s no good: that would be
sin(1) + sin(2) + sin(3) + ··· + sin(2999) + sin(3000) + sin(3001).
We don’t want the even numbers. Here’s how you get rid of them. First,
imagine that j steps through the numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on. Then the
quantity (2j − 1) goes through all the odd numbers 1, 3, 5, and so on. So for
our second try, let’s guess
3001
X
j=1
sin(2j − 1).
This is better, but there’s still a problem. When j gets to the end of its run,
it’s at 3001, but (2j − 1) is then 2(3001) − 1 = 6001. This means that
3001
X
j=1
sin(2j−1) = sin(1)+sin(3)+sin(5)+···+sin(5997)+sin(5999)+sin(6001).
310 • Introduction to Integration
We have too many terms! How do you know when to stop? At the end, we
need sin(2j − 1) to be sin(3001), not sin(6001). So, just set 2j − 1 = 3001,
which means that j = 1501. Finally, we have
sin(1)+sin(3)+sin(5)+···+sin(2997)+sin(2999)+sin(3001) =
1501
X
j=1
sin(2j−1).
This is the correct answer. Make sure you agree with it by plugging in the
values j = 1, j = 2, j = 3, and also j = 1499, j = 1500, and j = 1501. You
should get the terms written out on the left-hand side above. On the other
hand, the sum
1501
X
j=1
sin(2j)
expands as
sin(2) + sin(4) + sin(6) + ··· + sin(2998) + sin(3000) + sin(3002).
So you get the even numbers using 2j instead of (2j − 1). Of course, if you
wanted multiples of 3, you’d use 3j. The possibilities are endless!
15.1.1 A nice sum
Consider the sum
100
X
j=1
j.
First, let’s expand the sum. When j = 1, we get 1. When j = 2, we get 2.
This continues until j = 100; then we just add up all these quantities. So
100
X
j=1
j = 1 + 2 + 3 + ··· + 98 + 99 + 100.
Yup, it’s the sum of the numbers from 1 to 100. Now, how about the sum
99
X
j=0
(j + 1)?
When j = 0, we get 1; when j = 1, we get 2; and so on until j = 99, in which
case we get 100. So in fact
99
X
j=0
(j + 1) = 1 + 2 + 3 + ··· + 98 + 99 + 100.
This is the same sum as before! What we’ve done is shift the index of sum-
mation j down by 1. Now, consider this sum:
100
X
j=1
(101 − j).
Section 15.1.2: Telescoping series • 311
When j = 1, we get 100; when j = 2, we get 99; and so on until j = 100, in
which case we get 1. That is, the numbers 101 − j march down from 100 to
1, so
100
X
j=1
(101 − j) = 100 + 99 + 98 + ··· + 3 + 2 + 1.
This is the same sum as before, just written backward. There are many ways
of expressing any sum in sigma notation.
In fact, this last way of writing the sum isn’t just a curiosity—we can
actually use it to find the value of the sum. Suppose that we let S be the sum
1 + 2 + ··· + 99 + 100; then we have seen that
S =
100
X
j=1
j and also S =
100
X
j=1
(101 − j).
If you add up these two expressions, you get
2S =
100
X
j=1
j +
100
X
j=1
(101 − j).
In the first sum, the numbers increase from 1 to 100; in the second sum they
decrease from 100 to 1. The nice thing is that you can add the numbers in
any order and still get the same result. So we can combine the sums and write
2S =
100
X
j=1
j + (101 − j)
.
Since j + (101 − j) = 101, this just works out to be
2S =
100
X
j=1
101.
There are 100 copies of the number 101, so we have 2S = 101 ×100 = 10100.
This means that S = 10100/2 = 5050. We have shown that the sum of the
numbers from 1 to 100 is 5050. Believe it or not, the great mathematician
Gauss worked this out (using the same method) at the age of 10!

312 • Introduction to Integration
You can cancel a lot of the terms here. In fact, if you take a close look, you’ll
see that everything cancels out except 5
2
−0
2
, so the sum is just 5
2
= 25. The
same sort of thing happens even if you have a lot more terms. For example,

Once again, everything cancels except for 200

−0

, so the sum is 40000. Wait
a second, there doesn’t seem to be anything to cancel out the 3
2
or −197
2
terms! Well, there are −3
2
and 197
2
terms hidden inside the “···”, so the
cancelation does work.
This sort of series is called a telescoping series. You can compact it down
to a much simpler expression, just like collapsing one of those old spyglasses.
In general, we have

which is simply e

. You just have to take the e
cos(j)
part and
replace j by the last number (100), then subtract the e
cos(j−1)
part with the
j replaced by the first number (10). You should try expanding the sum and
check that the cancelation works.

n

j=1
(j

),
notice that the sum telescopes; so you just take (j
2
− (j − 1)
2
) and replace
the first j by n, and the second j by 1, to see that
n
X
j=1
(j
2
− (j −1)
2
) = n
2
− (1 − 1)
2
= n
2
.
On the other hand, the quantity j
2
−(j −1)
2
works out to be j
2
−(j
2
−2j +1),
or just 2j − 1. So we have actually shown that
n
X
j=1
(2j − 1) = n
2
.
Section 15.1.2: Telescoping series • 313
If you think about it, the left-hand side is just the sum of the first n odd
numbers. For example, when n = 5, the left-hand side is 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9,
which works out to be 25. Hey, that’s 5
2
exactly! If instead you take n = 6,
then the left-hand side is 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11, which is 36. This is 6
2
, so
once again the formula works. We have proved that the sum of the first n odd
numbers is n
2
.
We can say even more, though. We can split up the sum like this:
n
X
j=1
(2j) −
n
X
j=1
1 = n
2
.
If you’re a little skeptical about this, then check out how it works for the first
five terms. Instead of writing 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9, we’re expressing the sum
as (2 − 1) + (4 − 1) + (6 − 1) + (8 − 1) + (10 − 1), then rearranging to get
(2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10) − (1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1). In fact, we can take out a factor of
2 from the first sum and express it as 2(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5). In terms of our
equation above, this means that we can pull out the constant 2 from the first
sum and get
2
n
X
j=1
j −
n
X
j=1
1 = n
2
.
Stick the second sum on the right and divide by 2 to get
n
X
j=1
j =
1
2
n
2
+
n
X
j=1
1
.
The sum on the right-hand side is just n copies of 1, so it’s actually equal to
n. So the right-hand side is (n
2
+ n)/2, which can be written as n(n + 1)/2.
We have proved the useful formula
n
X
j=1
j =
n(n + 1)
2
.
When n = 100, this formula specializes to
100
X
j=1
j =
100(100 + 1)

Once again, finding the value of the sum is easy because it’s a telescoping
series. In any case, you can do some algebra and see that j
3
− (j − 1)
3
simplifies to 3j
2
− 3j + 1. So the above sum becomes
n
X
j=1
(3j
2
− 3j + 1) = n
3
.
314 • Introduction to Integration
Let’s break the sum into three pieces and pull out some constants:
3
n
X
j=1
j
2
− 3
n
X
j=1
j +
n
X
j=1
1 = n
3
.
Now put the last two sums on the right-hand side and divide by 3 to get
n
X
j=1
j
2
=
1
3
n
3
+ 3
n
X
j=1
j −
n
X
j=1
1
.
The previous example shows that the first sum on the right-hand side works
out to be n(n + 1)/2, while the second sum is again n copies of 1, which is n.
So we have
n
X
j=1
j
2
=
1
3
n
3
+
3n(n + 1)
2
− n
.
A little algebra shows that the polynomial on the right-hand side can be
simplified to (2n
3
+ 3n
2
+ n)/6, which factors to n(n + 1)(2n + 1)/6. So we
have proved that
n
X
j=1
j
2
=
n(n + 1)(2n + 1)
6
.
Now we know how to add up the first n square numbers. For example,
1
2
+ 2
2
+ 3
2
+ ··· + 99
2
+ 100
2
=
(100)(101)(201)
6
= 338350.
Even Gauss might have had to wait until he was 11 years old to find that
sum!
15.2 Displacement and Area
Let’s move on from sigma notation, and spend some time investigating the
following question:
If you know the velocity of a car at every moment during some time
interval, what is its total displacement over that time interval?
In symbols, this means that we know the velocity v(t) at every time t in some
interval [a, b], and we want to find the displacement x(t). We already know
how to do this the other way around: if we know x(t), then v(t) is just x
0
(t).
That is, velocity is the derivative (with respect to time) of displacement. In
order to answer the reverse question, let’s look at some simple cases first.
15.2.1 Three simple cases
Consider three cars going in the forward direction along a long straight high-
way. Since the cars are always going forward, we can work with speed and
distance instead of velocity and displacement (respectively)—there’s no dif-
ference in this case. Each of the cars leaves from the same gas station at 3
p.m. and finishes the journey at 5 p.m.
Section 15.2.1: Three simple cases • 315
The first car goes at a speed of 50 miles per hour the whole time. So
v(t) = 50 for all t in the interval [3, 5]. To work out the distance traveled in
this case, just use the fact that distance = average speed ×time. Luckily, the
average speed v
av
and the instantaneous speed v are both equal to 50, since
the speed never changes. So we get
distance = v × t = 50 × 2 = 100.
That is, the car has gone 100 miles. Now, if we draw the graph of v against
t, it looks like this:

You can see a rectangle marked off between the solid line of the velocity at
v = 50, the t-axis, and the vertical lines t = 3 and t = 5. The height of the
rectangle is the speed 50 (mph), while its base is the time taken, 2 (hours).
The quantity 50 × 2 is the area of the rectangle (in miles, but let’s not get
too bogged down about units for the moment). So in this case, the distance
traveled is the area under the graph of v versus t.
As for the second car, it goes at a speed of 40 mph for the first hour; then
at 4 p.m. it starts going 60 mph. Ignoring the few seconds that it takes to
accelerate, the graph of the situation looks like this:

I’ve already shaded the area under the graph down to the t-axis between the
lines t = 3 and t = 5, expecting this to be the distance. Let’s check it out.
During the first hour, the car travels at 40 mph, so the distance traveled is
40 × 1 = 40 miles. This is the area under the left-hand rectangle, which has
height 40 (mph) and base 1 (hour). The same thing works for the second
