Student PROJECT Euler's Constant We have shown that the harmonic series § 1 diverges. Here we investigate the behavior of the partial sums Sk n=1 as k → 00. In particular, we show that they behave like the natural logarithm function by showing that there exists a constant y such that k 1 - Ink – yas k . n n=1 This constant y is known as Euler's constant. 1. Let Tk = 3 1 - Ink. Evaluate Tư for various values of k. n=1 2. For Tk as defined in part 1. show that the sequence (Tx} converges by using the following steps. a. Show that the sequence Tx} is monotone decreasing. (Hint: Show that In(1 + 1/k > 1/(k + 1)) b. Show that the sequence (Tk) is bounded below by zero. (Hint: Express Ink as a definite integral.) C. Use the Monotone Convergence Theorem to conclude that the sequence {T} converges. The limit y is Euler's constant.
Student PROJECT The Witch of Agnesi Many plane curves in mathematics are named after the people who first investigated them, like the folium of Descartes or the spiral of Archimedes. However, perhaps the strangest name for a curve is the witch of Agnesi. Why a witch? Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718–1799) was one of the few recognized women mathematicians of eighteenth-century Italy. She wrote a popular book on analytic geometry, published in 1748, which included an interesting curve that had been studied by Fermat in 1630. The mathematician Guido Grandi showed in 1703 how to construct this curve, which he later called the "versoria," a Latin term for a rope used in sailing. Agnesi used the Italian term for this rope, "versiera," but in Latin, this same word means a "female goblin.” When Agnesi's book was translated into English in 1801, the translator used the term "witch” for the curve, instead of rope. The name “witch of Agnesi” has stuck ever since. The witch of Agnesi is a curve defined as follows: Start with a circle of radius a so that the points (0,0) and (0, 2a) are points on the circle (Figure 7.12). Let O denote the origin. Choose any other point A on the circle, and draw the secant line OA. Let B denote the point at which the line OA intersects the horizontal line through (0, 2a). The vertical line through B intersects the horizontal line through A at the point P. As the point A varies, the path that the point P travels is the witch of Agnesi curve for the given circle. Witch of Agnesi curves have applications in physics, including modeling water waves and distributions of spectral lines. In probability theory, the curve describes the probability density function of the Cauchy distribution. In this project you will parameterize these curves. У. (0, 2a) B A O Figure 7.12 As the point A moves around the circle, the point P traces out the witch of Agnesi curve for the given circle. 1. On the figure, label the following points, lengths, and angle: a. C is the point on the x-axis with the same x-coordinate as A. b. x is the x-coordinate of P, and y is the y-coordinate of P. C. E is the point (0, a). d. Fis the point on the line segment OA such that the line segment EF is perpendicular to the line segment ОА. e. b is the distance from 0 to F. f. c is the distance from F to A. g. d is the distance from 0 to B. h. O is the measure of angle ZCOA. The goal of this project is to parameterize the witch using @ as a parameter. To do this, write equations for x and y in terms of only 0.
2. Show that d = 2a sin 3. Note that x = d cos 0. Show that x = 2a cot 0. When you do this, you will have parameterized the x-coordinate of the curve with respect to 0. If you can get a similar equation for y, you will have parameterized the curve. 4. In terms of 0, what is the angle ZEOA? 5. Show that b+c = 2a cos(1 - 0).
