Q1EASY 6.2 Riemann Sums6.2 黎曼和No Calculator[2 marks]

The interval $[0,4]$ is divided into four subintervals of equal length. Which expression gives the right Riemann sum approximation for $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{4}f(x)\,dx$?区间 $[0,4]$ 被等分为四个子区间。下列哪个表达式给出了 $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{4}f(x)\,dx$ 的右黎曼和近似值?

Answer:答案: (B) $f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+f(4)$

Use the right endpoint of each subinterval取每个子区间的右端点 M1·A1

Four equal subintervals of $[0,4]$ give $\Delta x=1$ and grid points $0,1,2,3,4$. A right Riemann sum evaluates $f$ at the right endpoint of every subinterval: $1,2,3,4$. (M1)将 $[0,4]$ 等分为四个子区间,得 $\Delta x=1$,网格点为 $0,1,2,3,4$。右黎曼和在每个子区间的右端点处取 $f$ 值:即 $1,2,3,4$。(M1)

Multiplying each value by $\Delta x=1$ and summing gives $f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+f(4)$. (A1)将每个函数值乘以 $\Delta x=1$ 并求和,得 $f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+f(4)$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Left, right, and midpoint sums differ only in which $x$-value inside each subinterval samples $f$: left uses $0,1,2,3$; midpoint uses $0.5,1.5,2.5,3.5$; right uses $1,2,3,4$. Option (D) is the trapezoidal sum, a different (and generally more accurate) estimator entirely, not a Riemann sum.左、右、中点黎曼和的区别仅在于在每个子区间内取哪个 $x$ 值来计算 $f$:左黎曼和取 $0,1,2,3$;中点黎曼和取 $0.5,1.5,2.5,3.5$;右黎曼和取 $1,2,3,4$。选项 (D) 是梯形和,属于完全不同(通常更精确)的估计方法,并非黎曼和。
Q2EASY 6.6 Properties6.6 积分性质No Calculator[2 marks]

If $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{5}f(x)\,dx=12$ and $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}f(x)\,dx=3$, then $\displaystyle\int_{2}^{5}f(x)\,dx=$若 $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{5}f(x)\,dx=12$,$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}f(x)\,dx=3$,则 $\displaystyle\int_{2}^{5}f(x)\,dx=$

Answer:答案: (B) $9$

Split the interval additively按区间可加性拆分 M1·A1

By additivity over adjacent intervals, $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}f(x)\,dx+\int_{2}^{5}f(x)\,dx=\int_{0}^{5}f(x)\,dx$. (M1)由相邻区间的可加性,$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}f(x)\,dx+\int_{2}^{5}f(x)\,dx=\int_{0}^{5}f(x)\,dx$。(M1)

So $\displaystyle\int_{2}^{5}f(x)\,dx=12-3=9$. (A1)故 $\displaystyle\int_{2}^{5}f(x)\,dx=12-3=9$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Additivity lets you treat a definite integral over $[a,c]$ as a "running total" that can be split at any interior point $b$: $\int_a^b+\int_b^c=\int_a^c$. Rearranging to isolate the unknown piece, as here, is the most common way this property is tested.可加性使得可以把 $[a,c]$ 上的定积分看作在任意内部点 $b$ 处可拆分的"累计总量":$\int_a^b+\int_b^c=\int_a^c$。像本题这样移项求出未知部分,是该性质最常见的考查方式。
Q3EASY 6.4 FTC6.4 微积分基本定理No Calculator[2 marks]

If $F(x)=\displaystyle\int_{1}^{x}t^{2}\,dt$, then $F'(x)=$若 $F(x)=\displaystyle\int_{1}^{x}t^{2}\,dt$,则 $F'(x)=$

Answer:答案: (C) $x^{2}$

Apply the Fundamental Theorem directly直接应用微积分基本定理 M1·A1

By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1, if $F(x)=\displaystyle\int_{a}^{x}g(t)\,dt$ with $g$ continuous, then $F'(x)=g(x)$. (M1)由微积分基本定理第一部分,若 $F(x)=\displaystyle\int_{a}^{x}g(t)\,dt$,且 $g$ 连续,则 $F'(x)=g(x)$。(M1)

Here $g(t)=t^{2}$, so $F'(x)=x^{2}$. (A1)此处 $g(t)=t^{2}$,故 $F'(x)=x^{2}$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 The lower limit $1$ and the constant of integration never appear in $F'(x)$: differentiating an accumulation function simply substitutes the upper variable into the integrand. Option (A), $\tfrac{x^3}{3}$, is the trap for students who integrate instead of differentiate.下限 $1$ 以及任何积分常数都不会出现在 $F'(x)$ 中:对累积函数求导,只需将上限变量代入被积函数即可。选项 (A) $\tfrac{x^3}{3}$ 是为误将求导做成积分的学生设的陷阱。
Q4MEDIUM 6.4 FTC + Chain6.4 微积分基本定理 + 链式法则No Calculator[2 marks]

If $F(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x^{2}}\sin t\,dt$, then $F'(x)=$若 $F(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x^{2}}\sin t\,dt$,则 $F'(x)=$

Answer:答案: (B) $2x\sin(x^{2})$

Combine FTC 1 with the chain rule将微积分基本定理与链式法则结合 M1·A1

The upper limit is $u(x)=x^{2}$, not $x$ itself, so treat $F$ as a composition: $F(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{u(x)}\sin t\,dt$ requires $F'(x)=\sin(u(x))\cdot u'(x)$. (M1)上限为 $u(x)=x^{2}$,而非 $x$ 本身,故须将 $F$ 视为复合函数:$F(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{u(x)}\sin t\,dt$,须用 $F'(x)=\sin(u(x))\cdot u'(x)$。(M1)

With $u(x)=x^{2}$ and $u'(x)=2x$: $F'(x)=\sin(x^{2})\cdot 2x=2x\sin(x^{2})$. (A1)取 $u(x)=x^{2}$,$u'(x)=2x$:$F'(x)=\sin(x^{2})\cdot 2x=2x\sin(x^{2})$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Whenever the upper (or lower) limit is a function of $x$ rather than $x$ itself, FTC 1 alone is not enough: you must multiply by the derivative of that limit, exactly as with any other chain rule. Option (A) is the answer a student gets by forgetting the $u'(x)$ factor entirely.只要上限(或下限)是 $x$ 的函数而非 $x$ 本身,单靠微积分基本定理第一部分是不够的:必须像使用任何链式法则一样,再乘以该限的导数。选项 (A) 正是完全忘记乘以 $u'(x)$ 这一因子后得到的错误答案。
Q5EASY 6.8 Antiderivatives6.8 不定积分No Calculator[2 marks]

$\displaystyle\int (3x^{2}-4x+5)\,dx =$

Answer:答案: (A) $x^{3}-2x^{2}+5x+C$

Apply the power rule term by term逐项应用幂法则 M1·A1

Antidifferentiate each term with $\displaystyle\int x^{n}\,dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C$: $3x^{2}\to x^{3}$, $-4x\to -2x^{2}$, $5\to 5x$. (M1)对每一项使用 $\displaystyle\int x^{n}\,dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C$ 求原函数:$3x^{2}\to x^{3}$,$-4x\to -2x^{2}$,$5\to 5x$。(M1)

Combining and adding the single constant of integration: $x^{3}-2x^{2}+5x+C$. (A1)合并各项并加上唯一的积分常数:$x^{3}-2x^{2}+5x+C$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Option (D) is the derivative dressed up as an answer, useful only as a reminder that antidifferentiation raises the exponent and divides, the reverse of differentiation. A single $+C$ covers the whole polynomial; never attach a separate constant to each term.选项 (D) 其实是导数伪装成的答案,提醒我们不定积分是"升幂后除以新指数",恰是求导的逆过程。整个多项式只需加一个 $+C$,切勿给每一项单独添加常数。
Q6MEDIUM 6.9 U-Substitution6.9 换元积分法No Calculator[2 marks]

$\displaystyle\int 2x\,(x^{2}+1)^{4}\,dx =$

Answer:答案: (A) $\dfrac{(x^{2}+1)^{5}}{5}+C$

Substitute the inner function对内层函数进行换元 M1·A1

Let $u=x^{2}+1$, so $du=2x\,dx$, which is exactly the remaining factor in the integrand. (M1)令 $u=x^{2}+1$,则 $du=2x\,dx$,恰好是被积式中剩余的因子。(M1)

The integral becomes $\displaystyle\int u^{4}\,du=\frac{u^{5}}{5}+C=\frac{(x^{2}+1)^{5}}{5}+C$. (A1)积分化为 $\displaystyle\int u^{4}\,du=\frac{u^{5}}{5}+C=\frac{(x^{2}+1)^{5}}{5}+C$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 The signal for $u$-substitution is a composite function whose "wrapper" derivative is sitting right there as a factor: here $2x\,dx$ is precisely $du$, with no leftover algebra required. Never leave the answer in terms of $u$: always substitute back to $x$ as the final step.换元法的信号是:复合函数的"外层"求导后恰好作为一个因子出现在被积式中,此处 $2x\,dx$ 恰为 $du$,无需额外代数处理。切勿把答案留在 $u$ 的形式:最后一步必须代回 $x$。
Q7MEDIUM 6.7 FTC Evaluation6.7 微积分基本定理求值No Calculator[2 marks]

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos x\,dx =$

Answer:答案: (C) $1$

Antidifferentiate, then evaluate at the limits先求原函数,再代入上下限 M1·A1

An antiderivative of $\cos x$ is $\sin x$. By FTC 2, $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos x\,dx=\bigl[\sin x\bigr]_{0}^{\pi/2}$. (M1)$\cos x$ 的一个原函数是 $\sin x$。由微积分基本定理第二部分,$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos x\,dx=\bigl[\sin x\bigr]_{0}^{\pi/2}$。(M1)

$=\sin\!\left(\tfrac{\pi}{2}\right)-\sin(0)=1-0=1$. (A1)$=\sin\!\left(\tfrac{\pi}{2}\right)-\sin(0)=1-0=1$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 FTC 2 turns a definite integral into an arithmetic subtraction once an antiderivative is known: no constant of integration is needed here, since it cancels in the subtraction. Keep the standard antiderivative pairs $\{\sin,\cos\}$ and $\{\cos,-\sin\}$ straight; sign errors here are the single most common slip on this topic.一旦知道原函数,微积分基本定理第二部分就把定积分化为简单的减法运算:此处不需要积分常数,因为它在相减中会抵消。务必记清 $\{\sin,\cos\}$ 与 $\{\cos,-\sin\}$ 这两组原函数配对;此处的符号错误是本考点最常见的失分点。
Q8MEDIUM 6.6 Geometry of Integral6.6 积分的几何意义No Calculator[3 marks]

The graph of $f$ consists of two line segments (forming a triangle above the $x$-axis with vertices $(-2,0)$, $(0,2)$, $(2,0)$) and a semicircle of radius $2$ below the $x$-axis on $[2,6]$. Find $\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{6}f(x)\,dx$.$f$ 的图像由两条线段(在 $x$ 轴上方构成顶点为 $(-2,0)$、$(0,2)$、$(2,0)$ 的三角形)和在 $[2,6]$ 上位于 $x$ 轴下方半径为 $2$ 的半圆组成。求 $\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{6}f(x)\,dx$。

-2 2 4 6 2 -2
Answer:答案: (A) $4-2\pi$

Add the triangle's area to the semicircle's signed area将三角形面积与半圆的带符号面积相加 M1·M1·A1

The triangle on $[-2,2]$ has base $4$ and height $2$, entirely above the axis: area $=\tfrac{1}{2}(4)(2)=4$, so $\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{2}f(x)\,dx=4$. (M1)$[-2,2]$ 上的三角形底为 $4$,高为 $2$,完全位于 $x$ 轴上方:面积 $=\tfrac{1}{2}(4)(2)=4$,故 $\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{2}f(x)\,dx=4$。(M1)

The semicircle on $[2,6]$ has radius $2$ and lies below the axis, so its geometric area $\tfrac{1}{2}\pi(2)^{2}=2\pi$ contributes negatively: $\displaystyle\int_{2}^{6}f(x)\,dx=-2\pi$. (M1)$[2,6]$ 上的半圆半径为 $2$,位于 $x$ 轴下方,故其几何面积 $\tfrac{1}{2}\pi(2)^{2}=2\pi$ 以负值计入:$\displaystyle\int_{2}^{6}f(x)\,dx=-2\pi$。(M1)

By additivity, $\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{6}f(x)\,dx=4+(-2\pi)=4-2\pi$. (A1)由可加性,$\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{6}f(x)\,dx=4+(-2\pi)=4-2\pi$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 A definite integral is signed area, not geometric area: any region below the $x$-axis subtracts from the total, regardless of how "large" it looks. Splitting at the sign change ($x=2$, where $f$ crosses the axis) and treating each piece with its own sign is always safer than trying to track signs inside a single combined computation.定积分是带符号面积,而非几何面积:$x$ 轴下方的区域无论看起来多"大",都要从总量中减去。在符号变化处($x=2$,$f$ 穿过 $x$ 轴处)分段处理,并分别为每一段赋予正确符号,总比在一次合并计算中追踪符号更为稳妥。
Q9HARD 6.9 U-Sub Definite6.9 换元法定积分No Calculator[2 marks]

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\dfrac{x}{(x^{2}+1)^{2}}\,dx =$

Answer:答案: (A) $\dfrac{1}{4}$

Substitute and change the limits to $u$换元并将积分限换为 $u$ 的限 M1·A1

Let $u=x^{2}+1$, so $du=2x\,dx$, i.e. $x\,dx=\tfrac{1}{2}du$. Changing limits: $x=0\Rightarrow u=1$; $x=1\Rightarrow u=2$. (M1)令 $u=x^{2}+1$,则 $du=2x\,dx$,即 $x\,dx=\tfrac{1}{2}du$。换限:$x=0\Rightarrow u=1$;$x=1\Rightarrow u=2$。(M1)

$$ \int_{1}^{2}\frac{1}{u^{2}}\cdot\frac{1}{2}\,du=\frac{1}{2}\left[-\frac{1}{u}\right]_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\left(-\frac{1}{2}+1\right)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 Changing the limits of integration to match $u$ avoids ever having to substitute back to $x$: once the limits are in terms of $u$, evaluate directly there. Forgetting to convert the limits and plugging the original $x$-limits into the antiderivative in $u$ is a common, entirely avoidable error.将积分限换成 $u$ 的限,就无需再代回 $x$:一旦积分限用 $u$ 表示,可直接在那里求值。忘记换限、直接把原来的 $x$ 限代入以 $u$ 表示的原函数,是一个常见但完全可以避免的错误。
Q10MEDIUM 6.3 Riemann to Integral6.3 黎曼和化定积分No Calculator[2 marks]

Which definite integral equals $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\!\left(1+\dfrac{2i}{n}\right)^{2}\!\cdot\dfrac{2}{n}$?下列哪个定积分等于 $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\!\left(1+\dfrac{2i}{n}\right)^{2}\!\cdot\dfrac{2}{n}$?

Answer:答案: (B) $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{3}x^{2}\,dx$

Read off $\Delta x$, then the sample point and interval读出 $\Delta x$,再确定采样点与区间 M1·A1

The factor $\tfrac{2}{n}$ multiplying the sum is $\Delta x=\tfrac{b-a}{n}$, so $b-a=2$. The sample point $x_{i}=1+\tfrac{2i}{n}=a+i\Delta x$ identifies $a=1$, hence $b=3$. (M1)乘在求和外的因子 $\tfrac{2}{n}$ 即为 $\Delta x=\tfrac{b-a}{n}$,故 $b-a=2$。采样点 $x_{i}=1+\tfrac{2i}{n}=a+i\Delta x$ 表明 $a=1$,从而 $b=3$。(M1)

The summand $\left(1+\tfrac{2i}{n}\right)^{2}=x_{i}^{2}$ matches $f(x)=x^{2}$, so the limit is the right Riemann sum limit $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{3}x^{2}\,dx$. (A1)被求和项 $\left(1+\tfrac{2i}{n}\right)^{2}=x_{i}^{2}$ 对应 $f(x)=x^{2}$,故该极限即为右黎曼和的极限 $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{3}x^{2}\,dx$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Reverse-engineering a Riemann sum limit into an integral is a three-step read: the coefficient of the sum is $\Delta x$, which fixes the interval width $b-a$; the sample point $x_i=a+i\Delta x$ fixes the starting point $a$; and whatever expression is built from $x_i$ is $f(x)$. Option (D) is the same integral after a shift of variable, showing the decomposition is not unique in appearance but is unique once simplified.将黎曼和极限逆推为积分分三步读取:求和外的系数即为 $\Delta x$,从而确定区间宽度 $b-a$;采样点 $x_i=a+i\Delta x$ 确定起点 $a$;由 $x_i$ 构成的表达式即为 $f(x)$。选项 (D) 经过变量代换后其实是同一个积分,说明这种分解在形式上不唯一,但化简后是唯一确定的。
Q11HARD 6.2 Over/Underestimate6.2 高估与低估No Calculator[2 marks]

$f$ is positive, increasing, and concave down on $[a,b]$. Using only the fact that $f$ is increasing, which of the following is guaranteed to underestimate $\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx$?$f$ 在 $[a,b]$ 上为正、单调递增且凹(下凸)。仅利用 $f$ 单调递增这一性质,下列哪项一定低估 $\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx$?

Answer:答案: (A) Left Riemann sum左黎曼和

Increasing alone already forces the left sum below the true value仅凭单调递增,左黎曼和便一定低于真值 M1·A1

On any subinterval, an increasing $f$ satisfies $f(\text{left endpoint})\le f(x)$ for every $x$ in that subinterval, so a left-endpoint rectangle never overshoots the true area under the curve there. (M1)在任意子区间上,因 $f$ 单调递增,对该子区间内所有 $x$ 均有 $f(\text{左端点})\le f(x)$,故左端点矩形的面积在该子区间上绝不会超过曲线下的真实面积。(M1)

Summing over all subintervals, the left Riemann sum is $\le\displaystyle\int_a^b f(x)\,dx$ whenever $f$ is increasing, with no need for any concavity assumption at all. (A1)对所有子区间求和后,只要 $f$ 单调递增,左黎曼和便 $\le\displaystyle\int_a^b f(x)\,dx$,完全不需要凹凸性的假设。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Monotonicity alone governs Left/Right sums; concavity alone governs Trapezoidal/Midpoint sums; the two properties are independent tools. Restricting the guarantee to "increasing alone" is what makes (A) the unique correct choice here: the Trapezoidal sum's over/underestimate direction depends on concavity, not monotonicity, so it cannot be justified from the increasing hypothesis by itself. (Using the full hypothesis, concave down also forces the Trapezoidal sum below the integral, giving the fuller ranking $\text{Left}\le\text{Trapezoidal}\le\int_a^b f\le\text{Midpoint}\le\text{Right}$, but that extra fact is not what this question is testing.)单调性单独决定左/右黎曼和的高低估;凹凸性单独决定梯形和/中点和的高低估,二者是相互独立的工具。将结论限定为"仅凭单调递增"正是 (A) 成为唯一正确选项的原因:梯形和的高低估方向取决于凹凸性而非单调性,故无法仅由单调递增这一条件得出。(若使用完整条件,凹函数还可推出梯形和也低于积分值,从而得到更完整的排序 $\text{左黎曼和}\le\text{梯形和}\le\int_a^b f\le\text{中点和}\le\text{右黎曼和}$,但这并非本题所考查的内容。)
Q12MEDIUM 6.10 Long Division6.10 多项式长除法No Calculator[2 marks]

$\displaystyle\int \dfrac{x^{2}+1}{x+1}\,dx =$

Answer:答案: (A) $\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}-x+2\ln|x+1|+C$

Divide first, since the numerator's degree is not less than the denominator's先做除法,因分子次数不低于分母次数 M1·A1

Since $\deg(x^{2}+1)\ge\deg(x+1)$, the fraction is improper: perform polynomial long division first. $x^{2}+1=(x+1)(x-1)+2$, so $\dfrac{x^{2}+1}{x+1}=x-1+\dfrac{2}{x+1}$. (M1)因 $\deg(x^{2}+1)\ge\deg(x+1)$,此分式为假分式,须先进行多项式长除法。$x^{2}+1=(x+1)(x-1)+2$,故 $\dfrac{x^{2}+1}{x+1}=x-1+\dfrac{2}{x+1}$。(M1)

Integrate term by term: $\displaystyle\int\left(x-1+\frac{2}{x+1}\right)dx=\frac{x^{2}}{2}-x+2\ln|x+1|+C$. (A1)逐项积分:$\displaystyle\int\left(x-1+\frac{2}{x+1}\right)dx=\frac{x^{2}}{2}-x+2\ln|x+1|+C$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 A rational integrand always needs a "shape check" first: if the numerator's degree is $\ge$ the denominator's, long division is mandatory before anything else, since $u$-substitution alone cannot handle an improper fraction. The remainder term $\tfrac{2}{x+1}$ is exactly the form that produces a logarithm.对有理函数被积式,总须先做"形态检查":若分子次数 $\ge$ 分母次数,必须先做长除法,因为单靠换元法无法处理假分式。余项 $\tfrac{2}{x+1}$ 正是产生对数的标准形式。
Q13HARD 6.2 / 6.4 Accumulation6.2 / 6.4 累积函数No Calculator[2 marks]

Selected values of the differentiable function $f$ are given. Let $g(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x}f(t)\,dt$.可微函数 $f$ 的部分函数值如下表。设 $g(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x}f(t)\,dt$。

Using a midpoint Riemann sum with two subintervals of equal length, the approximation for $g(8)$ is用两个等长子区间的中点黎曼和近似 $g(8)$ 的值为

Answer:答案: (A) $-4$

Split $[0,8]$ into two width-$4$ pieces and read the midpoints将 $[0,8]$ 分为两个宽度为 $4$ 的子区间并取中点 M1·A1

Two equal subintervals of $[0,8]$ are $[0,4]$ and $[4,8]$, each width $4$, with midpoints $x=2$ and $x=6$ respectively, both of which are tabulated. (M1)$[0,8]$ 的两个等分子区间为 $[0,4]$ 和 $[4,8]$,宽度均为 $4$,中点分别为 $x=2$ 和 $x=6$,两者均在表中给出。(M1)

$g(8)\approx f(2)\cdot 4+f(6)\cdot 4=3(4)+(-4)(4)=12-16=-4$. (A1)$g(8)\approx f(2)\cdot 4+f(6)\cdot 4=3(4)+(-4)(4)=12-16=-4$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 A midpoint sum only works cleanly from a table when the midpoint of each subinterval happens to be a tabulated $x$-value, exactly as engineered here. Always compute the subinterval width first, then check which listed $x$-values are true midpoints, rather than guessing.只有当每个子区间的中点恰好是表中给出的 $x$ 值时(本题正是如此设计),才能直接从表格干净地算出中点和。务必先算出子区间宽度,再核对哪些表中 $x$ 值确实是中点,而非凭猜测。
Q14MEDIUM 6.5 Behavior of $g$6.5 累积函数 $g$ 的行为No Calculator[2 marks]

Let $g(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x}f(t)\,dt$, where $f$ is continuous and is positive on $(0,3)$, zero at $x=3$, and negative on $(3,5)$. At what value of $x$ does $g$ attain its maximum on $[0,5]$?设 $g(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x}f(t)\,dt$,其中 $f$ 连续,在 $(0,3)$ 上为正,在 $x=3$ 处为零,在 $(3,5)$ 上为负。$g$ 在 $[0,5]$ 上于哪个 $x$ 值处取得最大值?

Answer:答案: (B) $3$

Track the sign of $g'=f$追踪 $g'=f$ 的符号 M1·A1

By FTC 1, $g'(x)=f(x)$. Since $f>0$ on $(0,3)$, $g$ is increasing there; since $f<0$ on $(3,5)$, $g$ is decreasing there. (M1)由微积分基本定理第一部分,$g'(x)=f(x)$。因 $f>0$ 于 $(0,3)$,$g$ 在此区间递增;因 $f<0$ 于 $(3,5)$,$g$ 在此区间递减。(M1)

$g$ switches from increasing to decreasing exactly at $x=3$, so this is a local (and here, global) maximum on $[0,5]$. (A1)$g$ 恰好在 $x=3$ 处由递增转为递减,故此处为极大值(在此为 $[0,5]$ 上的最大值)。(A1)

Insight.要点。 This is the First Derivative Test disguised as an accumulation problem: because $g'=f$, every fact about where $f$ is positive/negative/zero translates directly into where $g$ increases/decreases/has a critical point. Reading a sign chart for $f$ is the same skill as reading one for $g'$ in Unit 4, just relabeled.这其实是伪装成累积问题的一阶导数检验:因 $g'=f$,$f$ 为正/为负/为零的每一处信息都直接对应 $g$ 递增/递减/驻点的信息。读取 $f$ 的符号表,与第四单元中读取 $g'$ 的符号表是完全相同的技巧,只是换了名称。
Q15EASY 6.1 Accumulation Units6.1 累积量的单位No Calculator[2 marks]

Water flows into a tank at a rate $r(t)$ gallons per minute, where $t$ is in minutes. The most appropriate units of $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{10}r(t)\,dt$ are水以 $r(t)$ 加仑/分钟的速率流入水箱,其中 $t$ 以分钟计。$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{10}r(t)\,dt$ 最合适的单位是

Answer:答案: (C) gallons加仑

Multiply the units of $r(t)$ by the units of $dt$将 $r(t)$ 的单位与 $dt$ 的单位相乘 M1·A1

An integral's units are always (units of the integrand) $\times$ (units of the variable of integration): here that is $\dfrac{\text{gallons}}{\text{minute}}\times\text{minutes}$. (M1)积分的单位恒为(被积函数单位)$\times$(积分变量单位):此处即 $\dfrac{\text{加仑}}{\text{分钟}}\times\text{分钟}$。(M1)

The minutes cancel, leaving gallons: the integral gives the total volume of water that entered the tank over the $10$ minutes. (A1)分钟单位相互抵消,只剩加仑:该积分给出这 $10$ 分钟内流入水箱的总水量。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Integrating a rate always recovers the accumulated total quantity, and the units tell you so directly: a rate's units always have "per [variable of integration]" in the denominator, which the $dt$ cancels. This is the same reasoning that turns velocity (mi/hr) integrated over time (hr) into displacement (mi).对速率积分总能得到累积总量,单位分析直接说明了这一点:速率的单位分母中总含有"每 [积分变量]",恰好被 $dt$ 抵消。这与将速度(英里/小时)对时间(小时)积分得到位移(英里)是完全相同的推理。

Answer:答案: (A) $\dfrac{1}{2}\arctan\!\left(\dfrac{x+1}{2}\right)+C$

Complete the square to reach the arctangent form配方以化为反正切标准形式 M1·A1

The denominator does not factor over the reals (discriminant $4-20<0$), so complete the square instead: $x^{2}+2x+5=(x+1)^{2}+4$. (M1)分母在实数范围内不可因式分解(判别式 $4-20<0$),故改用配方:$x^{2}+2x+5=(x+1)^{2}+4$。(M1)

This matches the standard form $\displaystyle\int\frac{du}{u^{2}+a^{2}}=\frac{1}{a}\arctan\!\left(\frac{u}{a}\right)+C$ with $u=x+1$, $a=2$: $\dfrac{1}{2}\arctan\!\left(\dfrac{x+1}{2}\right)+C$. (A1)令 $u=x+1$,$a=2$,可套用标准形式 $\displaystyle\int\frac{du}{u^{2}+a^{2}}=\frac{1}{a}\arctan\!\left(\frac{u}{a}\right)+C$:$\dfrac{1}{2}\arctan\!\left(\dfrac{x+1}{2}\right)+C$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 An irreducible quadratic denominator is the signal to complete the square, never to factor: $x^{2}+2x+5$ has no real roots, so long division and partial fractions do not apply. The $\tfrac{1}{a}$ out front is easy to drop; always double-check it against the memorized arctangent formula.不可约二次分母正是提示应配方而非因式分解:$x^{2}+2x+5$ 无实根,长除法与部分分式在此均不适用。式前的 $\tfrac{1}{a}$ 很容易被遗漏;务必对照记忆中的反正切公式仔细核对。
Q17MEDIUM 6.14 Selecting a Technique6.14 选择积分方法No Calculator[2 marks]

Which technique is most appropriate for evaluating $\displaystyle\int x\sec^{2}(x^{2})\,dx$?计算 $\displaystyle\int x\sec^{2}(x^{2})\,dx$ 最合适的方法是哪种?

Answer:答案: (B) $u$-substitution with-代换,令 $u=x^{2}$

Look for a composite function and its derivative factor寻找复合函数及其导数因子 M1·A1

The integrand contains $\sec^{2}$ applied to the composite argument $x^{2}$, and the leftover factor $x$ is (up to a constant) exactly the derivative of $x^{2}$. (M1)被积式中 $\sec^{2}$ 作用于复合的自变量 $x^{2}$,而剩余因子 $x$(相差一个常数)恰是 $x^{2}$ 的导数。(M1)

This is the exact signature of $u$-substitution: let $u=x^{2}$, $du=2x\,dx$, giving $\tfrac{1}{2}\displaystyle\int\sec^{2}u\,du=\tfrac{1}{2}\tan u+C$. Long division and completing the square do not apply to a trig composite, and no simple power rule fits either. (A1)这正是换元法的典型标志:令 $u=x^{2}$,$du=2x\,dx$,得 $\tfrac{1}{2}\displaystyle\int\sec^{2}u\,du=\tfrac{1}{2}\tan u+C$。长除法与配方法均不适用于三角复合函数,简单幂法则也不适用。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Technique selection follows a checklist: is it a direct power/trig/exponential rule? Does a leftover factor match the derivative of an inner function ($u$-sub)? Is it a rational function needing division or partial fractions? Is the denominator an irreducible quadratic (complete the square)? Running through this list in order avoids wasted attempts.选择积分方法应遵循一份清单:是否可直接套用幂/三角/指数法则?剩余因子是否匹配某内层函数的导数(换元法)?是否为需要长除法或部分分式的有理函数?分母是否为不可约二次式(配方法)?按此顺序逐一排查可避免无谓的尝试。

If $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}\bigl[\,2f(x)-3\,\bigr]\,dx = 14$ and $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx = ?$若 $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}\bigl[\,2f(x)-3\,\bigr]\,dx = 14$,则 $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx = ?$

Answer:答案: (B) $\dfrac{23}{2}$

Split by linearity, then isolate the unknown integral用线性性质拆分,再解出未知积分 M1·A1

By linearity, $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}\bigl[2f(x)-3\bigr]dx=2\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx-\int_{1}^{4}3\,dx=2\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx-3(4-1)$. (M1)由线性性质,$\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}\bigl[2f(x)-3\bigr]dx=2\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx-\int_{1}^{4}3\,dx=2\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx-3(4-1)$。(M1)

So $2\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx-9=14$, giving $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx=\frac{23}{2}$. (A1)故 $2\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx-9=14$,解得 $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4}f(x)\,dx=\frac{23}{2}$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 The constant term $-3$ integrates to $-3(b-a)$, not simply $-3$: it is easy to forget to multiply by the interval length. Once split, this is ordinary algebra: treat $\int_1^4 f(x)\,dx$ as a single unknown and solve the linear equation.常数项 $-3$ 积分后为 $-3(b-a)$,而非仅仅 $-3$:很容易忘记要乘以区间长度。一旦拆分完毕,剩下的就是普通代数:将 $\int_1^4 f(x)\,dx$ 视为一个未知量,解此线性方程即可。

Answers:答案:  (a) $7$  ·  (b) $\dfrac{1}{3}\sin(3x)+C$  ·  (c) $\dfrac{1}{2}e^{x^{2}}+C$

(a) Antidifferentiate term by term, then evaluate at the limits(a) 逐项求原函数,再代入上下限 M1·A1

An antiderivative is $x^{4}-3x^{2}+x$. (M1)原函数为 $x^{4}-3x^{2}+x$。(M1)

$$ \bigl[x^{4}-3x^{2}+x\bigr]_{1}^{2}=(16-12+2)-(1-3+1)=6-(-1)=7. $$

(A1)

(b) Adjust for the inner coefficient(b) 修正内层系数 M1·A1

Since $\dfrac{d}{dx}\sin(3x)=3\cos(3x)$, dividing by the extra factor $3$ compensates: $\displaystyle\int\cos(3x)\,dx=\frac{1}{3}\sin(3x)+C$. (M1) Verify by differentiating back: $\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[\tfrac{1}{3}\sin(3x)\right]=\tfrac{1}{3}\cdot 3\cos(3x)=\cos(3x)$. (A1)因 $\dfrac{d}{dx}\sin(3x)=3\cos(3x)$,除以多余的因子 $3$ 即可补偿:$\displaystyle\int\cos(3x)\,dx=\frac{1}{3}\sin(3x)+C$。(M1) 求导验证:$\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[\tfrac{1}{3}\sin(3x)\right]=\tfrac{1}{3}\cdot 3\cos(3x)=\cos(3x)$。(A1)

(c) Recognize the $u$-substitution for a Gaussian-type integrand(c) 识别高斯型被积函数的换元 M1·A1

Let $u=x^{2}$, so $du=2x\,dx$, i.e. $x\,dx=\tfrac{1}{2}du$. (M1)令 $u=x^{2}$,则 $du=2x\,dx$,即 $x\,dx=\tfrac{1}{2}du$。(M1)

$$ \int x\,e^{x^{2}}\,dx=\frac{1}{2}\int e^{u}\,du=\frac{1}{2}e^{u}+C=\frac{1}{2}e^{x^{2}}+C. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 Three antiderivative "reflexes" in one problem: the power rule for a polynomial, the chain-rule adjustment factor $\tfrac{1}{k}$ whenever the inner function of a trig or exponential term is $kx$ (or more generally any linear function), and $u$-substitution when a leftover factor is (up to a constant) the derivative of the exponent. Checking by differentiating the answer is the fastest way to catch a missing $\tfrac{1}{k}$.一道题中出现三种求原函数的"反射动作":多项式用幂法则;每当三角或指数项的内层函数是 $kx$(或更一般的线性函数)时,需乘以链式法则修正因子 $\tfrac{1}{k}$;当剩余因子(相差一个常数)恰是指数的导数时,用换元法。对答案求导验证,是发现遗漏 $\tfrac{1}{k}$ 因子最快的方法。

The rate at which water enters a reservoir is modeled by the differentiable function $R(t)$, where $R$ is in thousands of gallons per hour and $t$ is in hours since midnight. Selected values of $R$:水流入水库的速率由可微函数 $R(t)$ 建模,其中 $R$ 以千加仑/小时为单位,$t$ 为午夜后的小时数。$R$ 的部分值如下:

$t$ (hr)$0$$3$$6$$9$$12$
$R(t)$$5.2$$6.8$$8.1$$7.4$$4.5$
Answers:答案:  (a) $82.5$ thousand gal千加仑  ·  (b) $81.45$ thousand gal千加仑  ·  (c) cannot be determined from monotonicity alone仅凭单调性无法判断  ·  (d) $W(12)=80+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}\bigl[R(t)-4\bigr]\,dt$

(a) Left Riemann sum, then state its meaning with units(a) 左黎曼和,并用单位说明其含义 M1·A1·R1

The four subintervals shown each have width $3$. The left Riemann sum uses the left endpoint of each: (M1)图表给出的四个子区间宽度均为 $3$。左黎曼和取每个子区间的左端点:(M1)

$$ L=3\bigl[R(0)+R(3)+R(6)+R(9)\bigr]=3(5.2+6.8+8.1+7.4)=3(27.5)=82.5. $$

So $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}R(t)\,dt\approx 82.5$ thousand gallons. (A1)故 $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}R(t)\,dt\approx 82.5$ 千加仑。(A1)

In context, this approximates the total amount of water, in thousands of gallons, that entered the reservoir from midnight ($t=0$) to noon ($t=12$). (R1)在情境中,此值近似表示从午夜($t=0$)到正午($t=12$)流入水库的总水量,单位为千加仑。(R1)

(b) Trapezoidal sum(b) 梯形和 M1·A1

With the same four subintervals of width $3$: (M1)仍用相同的四个宽度为 $3$ 的子区间:(M1)

$$ T=\frac{3}{2}\Bigl[R(0)+2R(3)+2R(6)+2R(9)+R(12)\Bigr]=1.5\bigl[5.2+13.6+16.2+14.8+4.5\bigr]=1.5(54.3)=81.45. $$

(A1)

(c) Check whether $R$ is monotonic on the whole interval(c) 检验 $R$ 是否在整个区间上单调 M1·R1

$R$ increases from $t=0$ to $t=6$ (from $5.2$ to $8.1$) but decreases from $t=6$ to $t=12$ (from $8.1$ to $4.5$), so $R$ is not monotonic on all of $[0,12]$. (M1)$R$ 在 $t=0$ 到 $t=6$ 期间递增(从 $5.2$ 增至 $8.1$),但在 $t=6$ 到 $t=12$ 期间递减(从 $8.1$ 降至 $4.5$),故 $R$ 在整个 $[0,12]$ 上不单调。(M1)

The left sum underestimates on the increasing piece $[0,6]$ but overestimates on the decreasing piece $[6,12]$; without knowing the concavity of $R$ on each piece (or the relative size of the two effects), the net over/underestimate on $[0,12]$ cannot be determined from the table alone. (R1)左黎曼和在递增段 $[0,6]$ 上低估,但在递减段 $[6,12]$ 上高估;若不知道 $R$ 在各段的凹凸性(或两种效应的相对大小),仅凭表格数据无法判断在整个 $[0,12]$ 上净效应是高估还是低估。(R1)

(d) Set up $W(12)$ as an accumulation with a net rate(d) 用净速率将 $W(12)$ 写成累积表达式 M1·A1

Water enters at rate $R(t)$ and leaves at a constant rate of $4$ thousand gal/hr, so the net rate of change is $R(t)-4$. (M1)水以速率 $R(t)$ 流入,并以恒定速率 $4$ 千加仑/小时流出,故净变化速率为 $R(t)-4$。(M1)

By the Net Change Theorem, $W(12)=W(0)+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}\bigl[R(t)-4\bigr]\,dt=80+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}\bigl[R(t)-4\bigr]\,dt$. (A1)由净变化定理,$W(12)=W(0)+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}\bigl[R(t)-4\bigr]\,dt=80+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}\bigl[R(t)-4\bigr]\,dt$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Part (c) is the trap: students who memorize "increasing $\Rightarrow$ left sum underestimates" often forget that conclusion needs $R$ increasing on the entire interval, not just part of it. Whenever a table shows a rate that rises then falls, over/under-estimate questions about the whole interval usually require the honest answer "cannot be determined," unless the two effects are quantified. Part (d) is the Net Change Theorem: $W(12)-W(0)=\int_0^{12}W'(t)\,dt$, and $W'(t)$ is the net rate in minus rate out, $R(t)-4$.(c) 是陷阱题:机械记忆"递增 $\Rightarrow$ 左黎曼和低估"的学生常忘记该结论要求 $R$ 在整个区间上递增,而非仅部分区间。当表格显示速率先升后降时,关于整个区间高估/低估的问题通常应诚实地回答"无法确定",除非能量化两种效应的大小。(d) 是净变化定理的应用:$W(12)-W(0)=\int_0^{12}W'(t)\,dt$,而 $W'(t)$ 即为流入速率减流出速率,即 $R(t)-4$。

(a) Read $g$ as accumulated signed area(a) 将 $g$ 视为累积带符号面积 M1·M1·A1

On $[0,4]$, $f$ traces a triangle above the axis with vertices $(0,0)$, $(2,1.5)$, $(4,0)$: base $4$, height $1.5$, area $\tfrac{1}{2}(4)(1.5)=3$. Since $(0,2)$ is half this triangle, $g(2)=\tfrac{1}{2}(2)(1.5)=\tfrac{3}{2}$, and $g(4)=3$. (M1)在 $[0,4]$ 上,$f$ 描出一个位于 $x$ 轴上方的三角形,顶点为 $(0,0)$、$(2,1.5)$、$(4,0)$:底为 $4$,高为 $1.5$,面积 $\tfrac{1}{2}(4)(1.5)=3$。因 $(0,2)$ 为该三角形的一半,$g(2)=\tfrac{1}{2}(2)(1.5)=\tfrac{3}{2}$,$g(4)=3$。(M1)

On $[4,6]$, $f$ traces the quarter circle below the axis: its geometric area is $\tfrac{1}{4}\pi(2)^{2}=\pi$, contributing $-\pi$ to $g$. On $[6,8]$, $f=-2$ (constant), contributing $-2(2)=-4$. (M1)在 $[4,6]$ 上,$f$ 描出 $x$ 轴下方的四分之一圆:其几何面积为 $\tfrac{1}{4}\pi(2)^{2}=\pi$,对 $g$ 贡献 $-\pi$。在 $[6,8]$ 上,$f=-2$(常数),贡献 $-2(2)=-4$。(M1)

$g(8)=g(4)+(-\pi)+(-4)=3-\pi-4=-1-\pi$. (A1)$g(8)=g(4)+(-\pi)+(-4)=3-\pi-4=-1-\pi$。(A1)

(b) $g$ increases exactly where $f>0$(b) $g$ 恰在 $f>0$ 处递增 M1·A1

By FTC 1, $g'(x)=f(x)$. From the graph, $f\ge 0$ on $[0,4]$ (positive on the open interval, zero only at the endpoints) and $f<0$ on $(4,8)$. (M1)由微积分基本定理第一部分,$g'(x)=f(x)$。由图可知,$f\ge 0$ 于 $[0,4]$(开区间上为正,仅在端点处为零),且 $f<0$ 于 $(4,8)$。(M1)

So $g$ is increasing on $[0,4]$ and decreasing on $[4,8]$. (A1)故 $g$ 在 $[0,4]$ 上递增,在 $[4,8]$ 上递减。(A1)

(c) Locate where $g$ switches from increasing to decreasing(c) 找出 $g$ 由递增转为递减之处 M1·R1

From part (b), $g$ increases on $[0,4]$ and decreases on $[4,8]$. (M1)由 (b),$g$ 在 $[0,4]$ 上递增,在 $[4,8]$ 上递减。(M1)

By the First Derivative Test, this switch means $x=4$ gives a local maximum, and since it is the only sign change of $g'=f$ on $[0,8]$, it is the absolute maximum. (R1)由一阶导数检验,这一转变意味着 $x=4$ 处取得极大值;因这是 $g'=f$ 在 $[0,8]$ 上唯一的符号变化,故为绝对最大值。(R1)

(d) Inflection points of $g$ are local extrema of $f$(d) $g$ 的拐点即 $f$ 的极值点 M1·A1·R1

$g''(x)=f'(x)$, so a point of inflection of $g$ occurs exactly where $f$ (i.e. $g'$) changes from increasing to decreasing or vice versa. (M1)$g''(x)=f'(x)$,故 $g$ 的拐点恰好出现在 $f$(即 $g'$)由增变减或由减变增之处。(M1)

$f$ increases on $(0,2)$ (slope $+0.75$) and decreases on $(2,4)$ (slope $-0.75$): a genuine local maximum of $f$ at $x=2$, so $g$ has an inflection point at $x=2$ (concavity of $g$ changes from up to down). (A1)$f$ 在 $(0,2)$ 上递增(斜率 $+0.75$),在 $(2,4)$ 上递减(斜率 $-0.75$):$f$ 在 $x=2$ 处取得真正的极大值,故 $g$ 在 $x=2$ 处有拐点($g$ 的凹凸性由凹变凸)。(A1)

At $x=4$, $f$ is decreasing on both sides (the line segment before and the quarter circle after), so there is no local extremum of $f$ there, hence no inflection of $g$: only a slope discontinuity. At $x=6$, $f$ decreases just before but is momentarily constant just after; since $f'$ never becomes positive after $x=6$ (only reaches $0$), $g''$ does not change sign there, so $x=6$ is not a genuine inflection point either. The only inflection point of $g$ on $(0,8)$ is $x=2$. (R1)在 $x=4$ 处,$f$ 在两侧均递减(前为线段,后为四分之一圆弧),故 $f$ 在此处并无极值,$g$ 也就没有拐点,只是斜率不连续。在 $x=6$ 处,$f$ 在此之前递减,此后瞬间变为常数;因 $f'$ 在 $x=6$ 之后从未变为正值(只是达到 $0$),$g''$ 在此处并未变号,故 $x=6$ 同样不是真正的拐点。$g$ 在 $(0,8)$ 上唯一的拐点是 $x=2$。(R1)

Insight.要点。 Part (d) is the classic mark-losing trap: students see a "kink" in the graph of $f$ at $x=4$ or $x=6$ and assume every kink produces an inflection point of $g$. It does not. Only a genuine sign change of $f'$ (i.e. $f$ actually reversing from increasing to decreasing, or vice versa) produces an inflection point; a kink where $f$ keeps moving in the same direction, or where $f'$ only touches $0$ without crossing it, leaves the concavity of $g$ unchanged.(d) 是典型的失分陷阱:学生看到 $f$ 的图像在 $x=4$ 或 $x=6$ 处出现"折角",便误以为每个折角都会产生 $g$ 的拐点,事实并非如此。只有 $f'$ 真正变号(即 $f$ 确实由递增转为递减,或反之)才会产生拐点;若 $f$ 在折角两侧仍朝同一方向变化,或 $f'$ 仅仅触碰到 $0$ 而未跨越它,$g$ 的凹凸性并不会改变。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\ln(x^{2}+3x+5)+C$  ·  (b) $\dfrac{1}{3}$  ·  (c) $\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}+2x+5\ln|x-2|+C$

(a) Spot that the numerator is the derivative of the denominator(a) 发现分子正是分母的导数 M1·A1

Let $u=x^{2}+3x+5$, so $du=(2x+3)\,dx$, exactly the numerator. (M1)令 $u=x^{2}+3x+5$,则 $du=(2x+3)\,dx$,恰为分子。(M1)

$\displaystyle\int\frac{du}{u}=\ln|u|+C=\ln|x^{2}+3x+5|+C$; since the discriminant $9-20<0$ makes $x^{2}+3x+5>0$ for all $x$, this is $\ln(x^{2}+3x+5)+C$. (A1)$\displaystyle\int\frac{du}{u}=\ln|u|+C=\ln|x^{2}+3x+5|+C$;因判别式 $9-20<0$,故 $x^{2}+3x+5>0$ 对所有 $x$ 成立,可写作 $\ln(x^{2}+3x+5)+C$。(A1)

(b) $u$-substitute and change the limits(b) 换元并换限 M1·M1·A1

Let $u=1-x^{2}$, $du=-2x\,dx$, so $x\,dx=-\tfrac{1}{2}du$. (M1)令 $u=1-x^{2}$,$du=-2x\,dx$,故 $x\,dx=-\tfrac{1}{2}du$。(M1)

Changing limits: $x=0\Rightarrow u=1$; $x=1\Rightarrow u=0$. (M1)换限:$x=0\Rightarrow u=1$;$x=1\Rightarrow u=0$。(M1)

$$ \int_{0}^{1}x\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\,dx=-\frac{1}{2}\int_{1}^{0}\sqrt{u}\,du=\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{u}\,du=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{2}{3}u^{3/2}\right]_{0}^{1}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}. $$

(A1)

(c) Long division on an improper rational integrand(c) 对假分式被积函数做长除法 M1·A1

Since $\deg(x^{2}+1)\ge\deg(x-2)$, divide: $x^{2}+1=(x-2)(x+2)+5$, so $\dfrac{x^{2}+1}{x-2}=x+2+\dfrac{5}{x-2}$. (M1)因 $\deg(x^{2}+1)\ge\deg(x-2)$,先做除法:$x^{2}+1=(x-2)(x+2)+5$,故 $\dfrac{x^{2}+1}{x-2}=x+2+\dfrac{5}{x-2}$。(M1)

Integrate term by term: $\displaystyle\int\left(x+2+\frac{5}{x-2}\right)dx=\frac{x^{2}}{2}+2x+5\ln|x-2|+C$. (A1)逐项积分:$\displaystyle\int\left(x+2+\frac{5}{x-2}\right)dx=\frac{x^{2}}{2}+2x+5\ln|x-2|+C$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Part (a) is the fastest possible integral once you recognize $\tfrac{u'}{u}$: no substitution notation is even strictly necessary once this pattern is automatic. Part (b) shows why converting the limits matters: it avoids ever writing $x$ again. Part (c) is the same long-division reflex as the multiple-choice questions, now paired with a definite-integral-free indefinite answer, so remember $+C$.一旦能识别 $\tfrac{u'}{u}$ 的模式,(a) 便是最快求出的积分:熟练后甚至无需写出换元记号。(b) 说明了换限的重要性:这样便再也不用写回 $x$。(c) 与选择题中的长除法反射动作相同,此处配对的是不定积分而非定积分,故须记得加 $+C$。

The integrand $f(x)+x\,f'(x)$ is exactly $\dfrac{d}{dx}\bigl[x\,f(x)\bigr]$ by the product rule, so the integral is an exact antiderivative evaluation, not a computation that needs $f$ itself. (M1)被积式 $f(x)+x\,f'(x)$ 恰好由乘积法则给出 $\dfrac{d}{dx}\bigl[x\,f(x)\bigr]$,故该积分是精确的原函数求值,无需知道 $f$ 的具体形式。(M1)

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{8}\bigl[f(x)+x\,f'(x)\bigr]dx=\bigl[x\,f(x)\bigr]_{0}^{8}=8\,f(8)-0\cdot f(0)=8(-3)-0=-24$. (A1)$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{8}\bigl[f(x)+x\,f'(x)\bigr]dx=\bigl[x\,f(x)\bigr]_{0}^{8}=8\,f(8)-0\cdot f(0)=8(-3)-0=-24$。(A1)

(d) Apply FTC 1 with a composite upper limit(d) 对复合上限应用微积分基本定理第一部分 M1·A1

$H(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x^{2}}f(t)\,dt$ has upper limit $u(x)=x^{2}$, so by FTC 1 and the chain rule, $H'(x)=f(u(x))\cdot u'(x)$. (M1)$H(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x^{2}}f(t)\,dt$ 的上限为 $u(x)=x^{2}$,由微积分基本定理第一部分与链式法则,$H'(x)=f(u(x))\cdot u'(x)$。(M1)

$H'(x)=f(x^{2})\cdot 2x=2x\,f(x^{2})$. (A1)$H'(x)=f(x^{2})\cdot 2x=2x\,f(x^{2})$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Part (c) is designed to look like it needs an explicit formula for $f$; it does not, because the integrand is secretly an exact derivative (the product rule run in reverse), so FTC 2 collapses the whole integral to boundary values. This "spot the derivative" skill, recognizing $f+xf'$ as $(xf)'$, $2f f'$ as $(f^2)'$, and so on, is one of the highest-value patterns on the AP FRQ section. Part (d) is the same composite-limit chain rule as Q4.(c) 表面上看似需要 $f$ 的显式表达式,实则不然,因为被积式恰是某个函数的导数(乘积法则的逆用),微积分基本定理第二部分因此将整个积分化为边界值之差。这种"识别隐藏导数"的能力(识别 $f+xf'$ 即为 $(xf)'$、$2ff'$ 即为 $(f^2)'$ 等)是 AP 自由解答题部分价值最高的技巧之一。(d) 与 Q4 使用的是同一种复合上限链式法则。

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}x\,e^{x}\,dx=$

Answer:答案: (B) $1$

Choose $u=x$ by LIATE, then apply IBP按 LIATE 选 $u=x$,再应用分部积分法 M1·A1

Let $u=x$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$, so $du=dx$, $v=e^{x}$: $\displaystyle\int x\,e^{x}\,dx=x\,e^{x}-\int e^{x}\,dx=x\,e^{x}-e^{x}+C$. (M1)令 $u=x$,$dv=e^{x}\,dx$,则 $du=dx$,$v=e^{x}$:$\displaystyle\int x\,e^{x}\,dx=x\,e^{x}-\int e^{x}\,dx=x\,e^{x}-e^{x}+C$。(M1)

Evaluating: $\bigl[x\,e^{x}-e^{x}\bigr]_{0}^{1}=(e-e)-(0-1)=0+1=1$. (A1)求值:$\bigl[x\,e^{x}-e^{x}\bigr]_{0}^{1}=(e-e)-(0-1)=0+1=1$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 A polynomial times an exponential is the textbook IBP signal: choosing $u$ to be the algebraic factor (it differentiates to something simpler) and $dv$ to be the exponential (it integrates to itself) is exactly what LIATE prescribes.多项式乘以指数函数是分部积分法的典型信号:取 $u$ 为代数因子(求导后更简单)、$dv$ 为指数因子(积分后仍是自身),这正是 LIATE 所指示的选择。

The partial-fraction decomposition of $\dfrac{1}{x^{2}-1}$ is$\dfrac{1}{x^{2}-1}$ 的部分分式分解为

Answer:答案: (B) $\dfrac{1/2}{x-1}-\dfrac{1/2}{x+1}$

Factor, set up the decomposition, and solve for $A,B$因式分解、建立分解式并求解 $A,B$ M1·A1

$x^{2}-1=(x-1)(x+1)$, both distinct linear factors, so write $\dfrac{1}{(x-1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{A}{x-1}+\dfrac{B}{x+1}$, giving $1=A(x+1)+B(x-1)$. (M1)$x^{2}-1=(x-1)(x+1)$,为两个不同的一次因式,故设 $\dfrac{1}{(x-1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{A}{x-1}+\dfrac{B}{x+1}$,得 $1=A(x+1)+B(x-1)$。(M1)

Setting $x=1$: $1=2A\Rightarrow A=\tfrac{1}{2}$. Setting $x=-1$: $1=-2B\Rightarrow B=-\tfrac{1}{2}$. So the decomposition is $\dfrac{1/2}{x-1}-\dfrac{1/2}{x+1}$. (A1)令 $x=1$:$1=2A\Rightarrow A=\tfrac{1}{2}$。令 $x=-1$:$1=-2B\Rightarrow B=-\tfrac{1}{2}$。故分解式为 $\dfrac{1/2}{x-1}-\dfrac{1/2}{x+1}$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Plugging in the root of each linear factor (the "cover-up" trick) instantly isolates one unknown at a time, avoiding a full system of equations. Always double-check by recombining: $\tfrac{1/2}{x-1}-\tfrac{1/2}{x+1}=\tfrac{(x+1)-(x-1)}{2(x-1)(x+1)}=\tfrac{2}{2(x^2-1)}=\tfrac{1}{x^2-1}$.代入每个一次因式的根("覆盖法")可一次分离出一个未知量,避免求解完整方程组。务必通过合并验证:$\tfrac{1/2}{x-1}-\tfrac{1/2}{x+1}=\tfrac{(x+1)-(x-1)}{2(x-1)(x+1)}=\tfrac{2}{2(x^2-1)}=\tfrac{1}{x^2-1}$。

$\displaystyle\int_{1}^{\infty}\dfrac{1}{x^{2}}\,dx=$

Answer:答案: (B) $1$

Rewrite as a limit before evaluating先化为极限,再求值 M1·A1

$\displaystyle\int_{1}^{\infty}x^{-2}\,dx=\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{1}^{b}x^{-2}\,dx=\lim_{b\to\infty}\Bigl[-\frac{1}{x}\Bigr]_{1}^{b}=\lim_{b\to\infty}\left(-\frac{1}{b}+1\right)$. (M1)$\displaystyle\int_{1}^{\infty}x^{-2}\,dx=\lim_{b\to\infty}\int_{1}^{b}x^{-2}\,dx=\lim_{b\to\infty}\Bigl[-\frac{1}{x}\Bigr]_{1}^{b}=\lim_{b\to\infty}\left(-\frac{1}{b}+1\right)$。(M1)

As $b\to\infty$, $-\tfrac{1}{b}\to 0$, so the integral converges to $1$. (A1)当 $b\to\infty$ 时,$-\tfrac{1}{b}\to 0$,故积分收敛于 $1$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 This is the $p$-integral $\int_1^\infty x^{-p}\,dx$ with $p=2>1$, which always converges (to $\tfrac{1}{p-1}$); the same family diverges for $p\le 1$. Memorizing this threshold saves re-deriving it every time.这是 $p$-积分 $\int_1^\infty x^{-p}\,dx$ 在 $p=2>1$ 时的情形,此时恒收敛(收敛于 $\tfrac{1}{p-1}$);当 $p\le 1$ 时该积分族发散。记住这一临界值可省去每次重新推导。

Which of the following improper integrals diverge?下列哪些反常积分发散?

Answer:答案: (A) I only仅 I

Apply the $p$-integral threshold to each对每一项应用 $p$-积分临界值 M1·A1

I. $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{\infty}x^{-1}\,dx$ has $p=1$, the boundary case, which diverges (it equals $\lim_{b\to\infty}\ln b=\infty$). II. $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{\infty}x^{-3/2}\,dx$ has $p=\tfrac{3}{2}>1$, so it converges. (M1)I. $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{\infty}x^{-1}\,dx$ 的 $p=1$,为临界情形,发散(其值为 $\lim_{b\to\infty}\ln b=\infty$)。II. $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{\infty}x^{-3/2}\,dx$ 的 $p=\tfrac{3}{2}>1$,故收敛。(M1)

III. $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}x^{-1/2}\,dx$ is improper at the lower limit with $p=\tfrac{1}{2}<1$; for integrals improper at a finite endpoint, $p<1$ converges (the opposite threshold direction from the infinite-limit case). So only I diverges. (A1)III. $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}x^{-1/2}\,dx$ 在下限处为反常积分,$p=\tfrac{1}{2}<1$;对于在有限端点处反常的积分,$p<1$ 时收敛(与无穷限情形的临界方向相反)。故仅 I 发散。(A1)

Insight.要点。 The $p$-test threshold flips depending on where the impropriety sits: for $\int_a^\infty x^{-p}dx$, convergence needs $p>1$ (the tail must shrink fast enough); for $\int_0^a x^{-p}dx$, convergence needs $p<1$ (the spike near $0$ must be mild enough). Confusing these two directions is the single most common BC error on this topic.$p$-判别法的临界方向取决于反常点的位置:对 $\int_a^\infty x^{-p}dx$,收敛要求 $p>1$(尾部须足够快地衰减);对 $\int_0^a x^{-p}dx$,收敛要求 $p<1$($0$ 附近的尖峰须足够温和)。混淆这两个方向是该考点中最常见的 BC 错误。

Evaluate each integral using integration by parts. State your choice of $u$ and $dv$ at every step.用分部积分法求以下各积分,每步均需写出 $u$ 和 $dv$ 的选取。

Answers:答案:  (a) $e^{x}\bigl(x^{2}-2x+2\bigr)+C$  ·  (b) $1$

(a) Apply IBP twice, reducing the power of $x$ each time(a) 两次应用分部积分法,每次降低 $x$ 的幂次 M1·M1·A1

First pass: $u=x^{2}$ (Algebraic, ranks above Exponential in LIATE), $dv=e^{x}\,dx$, so $du=2x\,dx$, $v=e^{x}$: $\displaystyle\int x^{2}e^{x}\,dx=x^{2}e^{x}-\int 2x\,e^{x}\,dx$. (M1)第一次:$u=x^{2}$(代数函数,在 LIATE 中排在指数函数之前),$dv=e^{x}\,dx$,则 $du=2x\,dx$,$v=e^{x}$:$\displaystyle\int x^{2}e^{x}\,dx=x^{2}e^{x}-\int 2x\,e^{x}\,dx$。(M1)

Second pass on $\int 2x\,e^{x}\,dx$: $u=2x$, $dv=e^{x}\,dx$, $du=2\,dx$, $v=e^{x}$: $\int 2x\,e^{x}\,dx=2x\,e^{x}-\int 2e^{x}\,dx=2x\,e^{x}-2e^{x}$. (M1)对 $\int 2x\,e^{x}\,dx$ 第二次应用:$u=2x$,$dv=e^{x}\,dx$,$du=2\,dx$,$v=e^{x}$:$\int 2x\,e^{x}\,dx=2x\,e^{x}-\int 2e^{x}\,dx=2x\,e^{x}-2e^{x}$。(M1)

Combining: $\displaystyle\int x^{2}e^{x}\,dx=x^{2}e^{x}-\bigl(2x\,e^{x}-2e^{x}\bigr)+C=e^{x}\bigl(x^{2}-2x+2\bigr)+C$. (A1)合并:$\displaystyle\int x^{2}e^{x}\,dx=x^{2}e^{x}-\bigl(2x\,e^{x}-2e^{x}\bigr)+C=e^{x}\bigl(x^{2}-2x+2\bigr)+C$。(A1)

(b) IBP with $dv=dx$(b) 取 $dv=dx$ 的分部积分 M1·A1

With $u=\ln x$, $dv=dx$: $du=\tfrac{1}{x}dx$, $v=x$, so $\displaystyle\int\ln x\,dx=x\ln x-\int x\cdot\frac{1}{x}\,dx=x\ln x-x+C$. (M1)取 $u=\ln x$,$dv=dx$:$du=\tfrac{1}{x}dx$,$v=x$,故 $\displaystyle\int\ln x\,dx=x\ln x-\int x\cdot\frac{1}{x}\,dx=x\ln x-x+C$。(M1)

Evaluating: $\bigl[x\ln x-x\bigr]_{1}^{e}=(e\cdot 1-e)-(1\cdot 0-1)=0-(-1)=1$. (A1)求值:$\bigl[x\ln x-x\bigr]_{1}^{e}=(e\cdot 1-e)-(1\cdot 0-1)=0-(-1)=1$。(A1)

(c) Explain the LIATE choices(c) 说明 LIATE 中的 $u$ 选取 M1·R1

LIATE ranks candidate $u$'s as Logarithmic > Inverse trig > Algebraic > Trig > Exponential, favoring the factor that gets simpler (or at least no worse) when differentiated, leaving a $dv$ that is easy to integrate repeatedly. (M1)LIATE 将候选 $u$ 按对数函数 > 反三角函数 > 代数函数 > 三角函数 > 指数函数排序,优先选取求导后变得更简单(或至少不更复杂)的因子,使剩下的 $dv$ 易于反复积分。(M1)

In (a), between $x^{2}$ (Algebraic) and $e^{x}$ (Exponential), Algebraic ranks higher, so $u=x^{2}$: differentiating drops its degree to $0$ in two steps, while $e^{x}$ integrates to itself indefinitely. In (b), $\ln x$ (Logarithmic) has no simpler antiderivative-friendly form, so it must be $u$, leaving $dv=dx$ (Algebraic, trivially integrable). (R1)在 (a) 中,$x^{2}$(代数函数)与 $e^{x}$(指数函数)相比,代数函数排位更高,故取 $u=x^{2}$:求导两次即可将其次数降为 $0$,而 $e^{x}$ 无论积分多少次都保持自身形式。在 (b) 中,$\ln x$(对数函数)没有更容易处理的原函数形式,故必须取为 $u$,剩下 $dv=dx$(代数函数,积分极易)。(R1)

Insight.要点。 LIATE is a heuristic, not a law: the real criterion is always "does $u$ get simpler under repeated differentiation while $dv$ stays integrable?" A degree-$n$ polynomial times $e^{x}$ or a trig function always needs exactly $n$ passes of IBP, since each pass reduces the polynomial's degree by $1$ until it vanishes, as seen going from $x^2\to 2x\to 2$ in part (a).LIATE 只是一种启发式规则,而非硬性法则:真正的判断标准始终是"$u$ 在反复求导后是否变得更简单,同时 $dv$ 仍可积?"次数为 $n$ 的多项式乘以 $e^{x}$ 或三角函数,总需要恰好 $n$ 次分部积分,因为每一次都使多项式次数降低 $1$,直至消失,正如 (a) 中 $x^2\to 2x\to 2$ 的过程所示。

Consider $\displaystyle\int_{2}^{\infty}\dfrac{1}{x^{2}-x}\,dx$.考虑 $\displaystyle\int_{2}^{\infty}\dfrac{1}{x^{2}-x}\,dx$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\dfrac{1}{x-1}-\dfrac{1}{x}$  ·  (b) converges to收敛于 $\ln 2$  ·  (c) converges to收敛于 $0$

(a) Factor and solve the system for $A,B$(a) 因式分解并求解 $A,B$ 方程组 M1·A1

$x^{2}-x=x(x-1)$, so $\dfrac{1}{x(x-1)}=\dfrac{A}{x}+\dfrac{B}{x-1}$, giving $1=A(x-1)+Bx$. Setting $x=0$: $1=-A\Rightarrow A=-1$. Setting $x=1$: $1=B\Rightarrow B=1$. (M1)$x^{2}-x=x(x-1)$,故设 $\dfrac{1}{x(x-1)}=\dfrac{A}{x}+\dfrac{B}{x-1}$,得 $1=A(x-1)+Bx$。令 $x=0$:$1=-A\Rightarrow A=-1$。令 $x=1$:$1=B\Rightarrow B=1$。(M1)

So $\dfrac{1}{x^{2}-x}=\dfrac{1}{x-1}-\dfrac{1}{x}$. (A1)故 $\dfrac{1}{x^{2}-x}=\dfrac{1}{x-1}-\dfrac{1}{x}$。(A1)

(b) Integrate, take the limit, and simplify the log difference(b) 积分、取极限并化简对数差 M1·M1·A1

$\displaystyle\int_{2}^{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{x-1}-\frac{1}{x}\right)dx=\lim_{b\to\infty}\Bigl[\ln|x-1|-\ln|x|\Bigr]_{2}^{b}=\lim_{b\to\infty}\left[\ln\left|\frac{x-1}{x}\right|\right]_{2}^{b}$. (M1)$\displaystyle\int_{2}^{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{x-1}-\frac{1}{x}\right)dx=\lim_{b\to\infty}\Bigl[\ln|x-1|-\ln|x|\Bigr]_{2}^{b}=\lim_{b\to\infty}\left[\ln\left|\frac{x-1}{x}\right|\right]_{2}^{b}$。(M1)

$=\displaystyle\lim_{b\to\infty}\left[\ln\frac{b-1}{b}-\ln\frac{1}{2}\right]$. As $b\to\infty$, $\dfrac{b-1}{b}\to 1$, so $\ln\dfrac{b-1}{b}\to 0$. (M1)$=\displaystyle\lim_{b\to\infty}\left[\ln\frac{b-1}{b}-\ln\frac{1}{2}\right]$。当 $b\to\infty$ 时,$\dfrac{b-1}{b}\to 1$,故 $\ln\dfrac{b-1}{b}\to 0$。(M1)

The limit equals $0-\ln\tfrac{1}{2}=-\ln\tfrac{1}{2}=\ln 2$; the integral converges to $\ln 2$. (A1)该极限等于 $0-\ln\tfrac{1}{2}=-\ln\tfrac{1}{2}=\ln 2$;该积分收敛于 $\ln 2$。(A1)

(c) Split at the interior discontinuity, evaluate each one-sided limit(c) 在内部间断点处拆分,分别求单侧极限 M1·M1·A1

The integrand $(x-1)^{-1/3}$ is undefined at $x=1$, an interior point of $[0,2]$, so split: $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx=\int_{0}^{1}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx+\int_{1}^{2}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx$, with each piece a one-sided limit. An antiderivative is $\tfrac{3}{2}(x-1)^{2/3}$. (M1)被积函数 $(x-1)^{-1/3}$ 在 $x=1$($[0,2]$ 的内部点)处无定义,故须拆分:$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx=\int_{0}^{1}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx+\int_{1}^{2}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx$,每段各用单侧极限处理。一个原函数为 $\tfrac{3}{2}(x-1)^{2/3}$。(M1)

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx=\lim_{t\to 1^{-}}\Bigl[\tfrac{3}{2}(x-1)^{2/3}\Bigr]_{0}^{t}=\tfrac{3}{2}\bigl[0-(-1)^{2/3}\bigr]=\tfrac{3}{2}(0-1)=-\tfrac{3}{2}$, since $(-1)^{2/3}=\bigl[(-1)^{2}\bigr]^{1/3}=1$. (M1)$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx=\lim_{t\to 1^{-}}\Bigl[\tfrac{3}{2}(x-1)^{2/3}\Bigr]_{0}^{t}=\tfrac{3}{2}\bigl[0-(-1)^{2/3}\bigr]=\tfrac{3}{2}(0-1)=-\tfrac{3}{2}$,因 $(-1)^{2/3}=\bigl[(-1)^{2}\bigr]^{1/3}=1$。(M1)

$\displaystyle\int_{1}^{2}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx=\lim_{s\to 1^{+}}\Bigl[\tfrac{3}{2}(x-1)^{2/3}\Bigr]_{s}^{2}=\tfrac{3}{2}\bigl[1^{2/3}-0\bigr]=\tfrac{3}{2}$. Both pieces converge, so the total is $-\tfrac{3}{2}+\tfrac{3}{2}=0$. (A1)$\displaystyle\int_{1}^{2}(x-1)^{-1/3}dx=\lim_{s\to 1^{+}}\Bigl[\tfrac{3}{2}(x-1)^{2/3}\Bigr]_{s}^{2}=\tfrac{3}{2}\bigl[1^{2/3}-0\bigr]=\tfrac{3}{2}$。两段均收敛,总值为 $-\tfrac{3}{2}+\tfrac{3}{2}=0$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Part (b) shows the standard "combine logs before taking the limit" move: leaving $\ln(b-1)-\ln b$ unsimplified makes the $\infty-\infty$ limit look indeterminate, but $\ln\tfrac{b-1}{b}\to\ln 1=0$ resolves cleanly. Part (c) is the reminder that "improper" is not only about infinite limits: a vertical asymptote hiding inside the interval, at $x=1$, must be caught and split before integrating, exactly like a removable point that instead blows up. Both pieces converging to finite (even opposite-sign) values is what makes the total well-defined; if either one-sided limit had diverged, the whole integral would diverge, regardless of the other piece.(b) 展示了"先合并对数再取极限"的标准技巧:若不化简 $\ln(b-1)-\ln b$,会使 $\infty-\infty$ 型极限看似不定,但 $\ln\tfrac{b-1}{b}\to\ln 1=0$ 可干净地求出结果。(c) 提醒我们"反常"不仅限于无穷限的情形:区间内部隐藏的竖直渐近线(此处在 $x=1$)必须先被发现并拆分,才能进行积分,正如一个本应可去、却发散的点。两段均收敛于有限值(即使符号相反),才使总值有明确定义;若任一单侧极限发散,则无论另一段如何,整个积分都发散。
