March 7, 2013

Name:
Honor Code Statement:

Additional Honor Code Statement: I have not observed another violating the Honor
Code.

Directions: Complete all problems. Justify all answers/solutions. Calculators are not
permitted. Upon completing the exam, complete and sign the honor code and the addi-
tional statement given above.

1. [10 points] Voltage in a discharging capacitor Suppose that electricity is draining


from a capacitor at a rate that is proportional to the voltage V across its terminals
and that, if t is measured in scones,
dV 1
= − V.
dt 40
Solve this equation for V , using V0 to denote the value of V when t = 0. How long
will it take the voltage to drop to 10% of its original value? (As calculators are not
allowed, leave the answer in terms of powers and logs.)

trate the statement.

• [5 points] Give the statement of Theorem 7 of Section 6.1 and draw a picture
that helps illustrate the statement.

6. [10 points] One of the Laws of Logarithms is: if x is a positive real number and r a
rational number, then ln(xr ) = r ln(x). Help finish the proof, a sketch of which is
below, by filling in the blanks.
Proof: Let f (x) = ln(xr ) and g(x) = r ln(x).

We have f 0 (x) =

We also have g 0 (x) =


Since these derivatives are the same, f (x) and g(x) differ by .
That is,
ln(xr ) + C = r ln(x).

Now, let x = 1. We get ln(1r )+C = r ln(1). So by the fact that


C equals .
Thus, ln(xr ) = r ln(x).
