Packet 11: Tossup 4

M. L. Glasser’s “master theorem” (-5[1])showed that this technique can simplify problems (-5[1])construed as Cauchy principal values. The first step of Cardano’s method eliminates a square term by performing this technique. (0[1])Lambda calculus (15[1]-5[1])is based on binding and this technique (15[2])for variables. The expression, (15[1])“a squared (-5[1])minus (-5[1])x squared” (-5[1])in (*) integrals typically suggests the use of this technique (10[1])with sine of x. (10[1])In AP Calculus, (10[1])the (10[2])variable (10[2])u (10[2])is (10[1])commonly used (10[2])as part of this technique during integration. (10[1])For 10 points, (0[1])solving an equation by replacing (10[1])a complicated expression (10[1])with an equivalent term is an example of what technique? ■END■ (10[1])
