Rather  than    simplifying this,   simply  plug    in  (0, 1)  to  find    .

We  get     =   1.

This    means   that    the slope   of  the tangent line    at  (0, 1)  is  1,  so  the slope   of  the normal  line    at  (0,
1) is the negative reciprocal, which is −1.


  1. B We can evaluate this integral using u-substitution. Let u = and du = dx, so 2du =


dx. Substituting into the integrand, we get 2∫ csc^2 u du = −2cot u + C. Now we substitute back:


−2cot   u   +   C   =   −2cot       +   C.


  1. C We will need to use the fact that = 1 to find the limit.


First,  rewrite the limit   as

Next,   break   the fraction    into

Now,    if  we  multiply    the top and bottom  of  the first   fraction    by  8,  we  get

Now,    we  can take    the limit,  which   gives   us  8(1)(1) =   8.


  1. D First, let’s graph the curve.
