Mathematical Analysis 1: theory and solved exercises

By Alessio Mangoni

This book on mathematical analysis is intended for both high school and college students to prepare for math exams. The main topics covered are trigonometry, limits, sequences and series, derivatives, integrals. The text contains graphs, figures and examples of application of the theory with various recall to physics. In the second part of the book we propose and solve various original exercises.

Trigonometry

Trigonometric functions

The basic trigonometric functions are the sine and cosine of an angle. Consider the circumference, of unit radius, shown in the figure



Given a point P on the circumference, consider the angle whose measure, in radians, is indicated by x in the figure. We define sine of the angle x, denoted by



the length, without unit of measure, of the ordinate of the point P. This function, has domain and range respectively



and



and is periodic of period



In the figure is shown the plot of the function.



Similarly we define cosine of the angle x, and denoted by



the length, always without unit of measure, of the abscissa of the point P. This function has, like sin x, domain and range



and



and is periodic of period



In the figure is shown the plot of the function.



We observe that the plots of the sine and cosine functions are one coincident with the other translated by an amount of



i.e.



If the circumference in the figure were of not unitary radius R, since the angle x is invariant, the abscissa and the ordinate of the point P would be



and



respectively.

We now define the tangent of the angle x. The tangent of the angle x is defined as follows



This function has domain and range



due to zeroes in the denominator and



is periodic of period



In the figure is shown the plot of the function.



There are also other functions, of secondary use, related to those introduced so far. The secant of the angle x is defined as



This function has domain and range





and is periodic of period



In the figure is shown the plot of the function.



The cosecant of the angle x is defined as



This function has domain and range
