Fourth Exam Review. The fourth exam is Wednesday, April 28

You will need a calculator that is capable of doing logarithms and exponentials. Any calculator capable of doing symbolic differentiation will not be allowed (for example the TI-89 and above). You will not have any notes or formulas available to you. Here is a summary of topics covered in the fourth part of the course. There may be other topics not listed here. You are responsible for all material covered in class and on homework.

1. Section 9.1 Anti-derivatives. The common formulas for integrals and computing the indefinite integral (remember the $+ C$). You may in some cases need to calculate the value of the constant, $C$.

2. Section 9.2 Anti-derivatives involving exponentials and logarithms. There are two primary formulas in this section.

3. Section 9.3 Definite Integrals. You will need to know how to compute the area underneath a curve and how to calculate the definite integral. I could solve the indefinite integral for you and then ask you to evaluate the definite integral.

4. Section 9.4 More Definite Integrals. You should be able to find the average value of a function. You will need to be able to solve an integral that will allow us to find the area between two curves or the area under a single curve.

5. Section 9.6 Substitution. You need to know how to use this technique and be able to recognize the times when it will not work.

There are going to be a lot of integrals on the exam.
