Legacy Cycle
OBJECTIVE

By the next class period, students will be able to: numerically integrate use the method of substitution use the method of integration by parts The objectives will require that students be able to: know and use rectangle area formula for numerical integration know derivatives, and antiderivatives, for evaluating integrals know the fundamental theorem of calculus identify the method to be used for a given integral

THE CHALLENGE

You are the CEO of a car company and you have to decide on the car model to be manufactured next. There are two car models you have to choose from. Car market is highly competitive, and the right decision will result in billions of dollars profit. The performance criterion is the distance covered by the car in 10 seconds. The maximum acceleration provided by the engines of the two models are a1=25(1-exp(-2t)), and a2=25(t^2+2t)/(t+1)^2.

GENERATE IDEAS

Students will be asked to brainstorm on

-	what do you know to solve the challenge -	what else do you need to solve the challenge -	how relevant is the given information to the challenge -	is the information sufficient

We anticipate that students will come up with


 * 1) very practical things like direct measurements or testing
 * 2) using a calculator to integrate
 * 3) their experience from physics and differential calculus in terms of velocity and acceleration
 * 4) seeing this as an inverse problem of differentiating
 * 5) numerical approach
 * 6) graphing the curves

MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES

The student is asked to explore ideas about the challenge from experts, and he should be


 * 1) shown a car racing video
 * 2) seeking references regarding simple methods of numerical integration
 * 3) seeking references regarding more complicated methods of integration (rules, chain, substitution)

RESEARCH & REVISE

Materials to help the student exploring the challenge and amend their original ideas will be introduced. Also, lectures will be provided and they will include


 * 1) the area problem (including numerical methods and Riemann sums
 * 2) the distance problem
 * 3) definite integral
 * 4) the fundamental theorem of calculus
 * 5) the substitution rule

TEST YOUR METTLE

Check students understanding by using


 * 1) quizzes
 * 2) structured response – clicker response
 * 3) dialog

GO PUBLIC


 * 1) exams
 * 2) presentations to the class
 * 3) projects
 * 4) posters

Pre-Lesson Quiz

 * 1) what is the definition of velocity?
 * 2) what is the definition of acceleration
 * 3) can you find the area under y=x^2 for x between 1 and 3 through geometrical approximation
 * 4) would it be possible to find the total distance traveled by a car if the velocity is given? If yes, how?

Test Your Mettle Quiz

 * 1) Find the total distance traveled by a car in 10 sec if its velocity is given by v=3(1+t)
 * 2) Find the total distance traveled by a car in 10 sec if its velocity is given by v=3(1+t)/(1+t^2)
 * 3) Find the area between y=x(ln(x)) and x axis for x between 1 and 2.
