Evaluate each definite integral. a) \(\int_{-2}^{4}(x+1)\,dx\) b) \(\int_{0}^{5}(2-0.8t)\,dt\) c) \(\int_{4}^{1}(1.5u-3)\,du\)

Hints

- Find an antiderivative of each integrand. - Substitute the upper and lower limits carefully. - Pay special attention when the upper limit is less than the lower limit. - Integrate each term separately.

Solution

1. For a), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2+x\). Thus, \(F(4)-F(-2)=12-0=12\). 2. For b), an antiderivative is \(F(t)=2t-0.4t^2\). Thus, \(F(5)-F(0)=10-10=0\). 3. For c), an antiderivative is \(F(u)=0.75u^2-3u\). Thus, \(F(1)-F(4)=-2.25-0=-2.25\).

Let \(f\) be continuous and let \(F\) be an antiderivative of \(f\). Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to justify why reversing the limits changes the sign of a definite integral: \(\int_a^b f(x) \, dx=-\int_b^a f(x) \, dx\).

Hints

- How do you evaluate a definite integral when an antiderivative is known? - Write each integral separately using \(F\). - Pay attention to the order of the limits when substituting into \(F\). - What happens to every sign inside brackets preceded by a minus sign?

Solution

1. By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a)\). 2. Reversing the limits gives \(\int_b^a f(x)\,dx=F(a)-F(b)\). 3. Therefore, \(-\int_b^a f(x)\,dx=-[F(a)-F(b)]=F(b)-F(a)\), which equals \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\).

Answer

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus gives \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a)\) and \(-\int_b^a f(x)\,dx=-[F(a)-F(b)]=F(b)-F(a)\). Thus the two expressions are equal.

52517912
Consider the family of cumulative distribution functions \(\Phi_{\mu,\sigma}\) for normal distributions. 1. Describe how the graph changes when \(\mu\) increases while \(\sigma\) remains constant. 2. Explain how increasing \(\sigma\) affects the maximum slope of the graph at \(x=\mu\). 3. For fixed \(\mu\), give the coordinates of the point where every graph in the family has the same function value, regardless of \(\sigma\).

Hints

- How does changing the value subtracted from \(x\) affect a graph horizontally? - The derivative of a cumulative distribution function is its density. - What cumulative probability lies at the mean of a symmetric normal distribution? - Use the symmetry of the normal curve.

Solution

1. Increasing \(\mu\) shifts the entire cumulative distribution graph to the right without changing its shape. 2. The derivative of the cumulative distribution function is the normal density. At \(x=\mu\), the slope is \(\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\). Therefore, increasing \(\sigma\) decreases the maximum slope and makes the center of the graph less steep. 3. By symmetry, \(\Phi_{\mu,\sigma}(\mu)=0.5\) for every \(\sigma>0\). Thus, all graphs with fixed \(\mu\) pass through \((\mu, 0.5)\).

Answer

1. The graph shifts to the right. 2. The maximum slope decreases as \(\sigma\) increases. 3. \((\mu, 0.5)\)

Figure for problem 534667

Hints

- Read the values of \(g\) at both integration limits. - Use \(\int_a^bf(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a)\). - Equal endpoint values give an integral of \(0\).

Solution

1. By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, \(\int_{-2}^{2}f(x)\,dx=g(2)-g(-2)\). 2. The graph shows \(g(2)=0\) and \(g(-2)=0\). 3. Therefore, the integral is \(0-0=0\).

Let \(f(x)=-\frac{1}{4}x+1\). Evaluate \(I=\int_{0}^{8}f(x)\,dx\). Interpret the result as the net signed area between the graph of \(f\) and the \(x\)-axis on \([0,8]\).

Hints

- First evaluate the integral using an antiderivative. - Find where the graph crosses the \(x\)-axis. - Identify which part of the graph lies above the axis and which part lies below it. - Interpret what an integral value of zero means about the two signed-area contributions.

Solution

1. An antiderivative of \(f(x)=-\frac{1}{4}x+1\) is \(F(x)=-\frac{1}{8}x^2+x\). Therefore, \(I=F(8)-F(0)=\left(-\frac{1}{8}\cdot 64+8\right)-0=-8+8=0\). 2. The graph crosses the \(x\)-axis at \(x=4\). On \([0,4]\), the graph is above the axis and contributes signed area \(\int_{0}^{4}f(x)\,dx=2\). On \([4,8]\), it is below the axis and contributes signed area \(\int_{4}^{8}f(x)\,dx=-2\). These contributions cancel, so the net signed area is \(0\).

Answer

The integral is \(I=0\). The positive area above the \(x\)-axis on \([0,4]\) equals the magnitude of the negative area below the \(x\)-axis on \([4,8]\), so the net signed area is zero.

Evaluate each definite integral. Briefly interpret the result in part b) as a net area. a) \(\int_{-1}^{2}(x^2-2x-3)\,dx\) b) \(\int_{0}^{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}x^3-4x\right)\,dx\)

Hints

- Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. - Evaluate the antiderivative at the upper limit and subtract its value at the lower limit. - Recall how portions of a graph below the x-axis contribute to a definite integral. - Consider what a net area of zero means.

Solution

1. For a), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{3}x^3-x^2-3x\). Then \(F(2)=-\frac{22}{3}\) and \(F(-1)=\frac{5}{3}\), so \(F(2)-F(-1)=-\frac{22}{3}-\frac{5}{3}=-9\). 2. For b), an antiderivative is \(G(x)=\frac{1}{8}x^4-2x^2\). Since \(G(4)=0\) and \(G(0)=0\), the integral is \(0\). 3. A net area of \(0\) means that the positive and negative signed areas on \([0,4]\) have equal magnitudes and cancel.

Answer

a) \(-9\) b) \(0\). The signed areas above and below the x-axis on \([0,4]\) cancel.

Hints

- Treat \(k\) as a constant while integrating. - Find an antiderivative first. - Apply the bounds and form an equation in \(k\). - Solve the resulting linear equation.

Solution

1. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{kx^2}{2}+x\). 2. Apply the Fundamental Theorem: \(F(3)-F(1)=\left(\frac{9k}{2}+3\right)-\left(\frac{k}{2}+1\right)=4k+2\). 3. Set the result equal to \(10\): \(4k+2=10\), so \(k=2\).

Answer

Find the derivative of each function. a) \(I(x)=\int_{x}^{10}\cos(z^2)\,dz\) b) \(A(u)=\int_{-2}^{u}\frac{e^s}{s+3}\,ds\), for \(u>-3\) c) \(F(y)=\int_{0}^{y}k\sin(x)\,dx\), where \(k\in\mathbb{R}\)

Hints

- Identify the function variable and the dummy variable of integration. - Reversing the limits changes the sign of an integral. - Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus at the variable upper limit.

Solution

1. For a), reverse the limits: \(I(x)=-\int_{10}^{x}\cos(z^2)\,dz\). Therefore, \(\frac{dI}{dx}=-\cos(x^2)\). 2. For b), the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus gives \(\frac{dA}{du}=\frac{e^u}{u+3}\). 3. For c), treat \(k\) as a constant. Then \(\frac{dF}{dy}=k\sin(y)\).

Answer

a) \(\frac{dI}{dx}=-\cos(x^2)\) b) \(\frac{dA}{du}=\frac{e^u}{u+3}\) c) \(\frac{dF}{dy}=k\sin(y)\)
52464512
Three students evaluate \(\int_{-1}^{2}(2-3x^2)\,dx\) and obtain different results. Luke: \((2\cdot2-2^3)-(2\cdot(-1)-(-1)^3)=-4-(-1)=-3\) Maya: \((2\cdot(-1)-(-1)^3)-(2\cdot2-2^3)=-1-(-4)=3\) Tom: \((2\cdot2-2^3)-(2\cdot(-1)-1^3)=-4-(-3)=-1\) Determine who evaluated the integral correctly. For each of the other two students, describe the mathematical error.

Hints

- First verify the antiderivative. - Check the required order for subtracting endpoint values. - Use parentheses when substituting a negative number. - Review how an odd power affects a negative number.

Solution

1. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=2x-x^3\). 2. The endpoint values are \(F(2)=4-8=-4\) and \(F(-1)=-2-(-1)=-1\). 3. Therefore, \(F(2)-F(-1)=-4-(-1)=-3\), so Luke is correct. 4. Maya reversed the order of subtraction and computed \(F(-1)-F(2)\). 5. Tom substituted \(1^3\) instead of \((-1)^3\) at the lower limit, causing a sign error.

Answer

Luke is correct. Maya reversed the limits by computing \(F(-1)-F(2)\) instead of \(F(2)-F(-1)\). Tom used \(1^3\) instead of \((-1)^3\) when substituting the lower limit.
52464612
A student evaluates \(\int_{-2}^{-1}\frac{4}{x^3}\,dx\) as follows: 1. \(\int_{-2}^{-1}4x^{-3}\,dx\) 2. \(\left[-2x^{-2}\right]_{-2}^{-1}\) 3. \((-2\cdot(-1)^{-2})-(-2\cdot(-2)^{-2})\) 4. \((-2\cdot1)-(-2\cdot4)\) 5. \(-2+8=6\) Identify the first incorrect step. Correct the work from that point and give the value of the integral.

Hints

- Check each transformation separately. - Recall that \(a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}\). - Pay close attention to both the negative base and the negative exponent. - After evaluating the antiderivative, subtract the lower-limit value from the upper-limit value.

Solution

1. Steps 1 through 3 are correct. The integrand is \(4x^{-3}\), and an antiderivative is \(-2x^{-2}\). 2. The first error is in step 4. The student used \((-2)^{-2}=4\), but \((-2)^{-2}=\frac{1}{(-2)^2}=\frac{1}{4}\). 3. Correcting the endpoint values gives \(F(-1)=-2\cdot1=-2\) and \(F(-2)=-2\cdot\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{1}{2}\). 4. Therefore, \(F(-1)-F(-2)=-2-\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)=-\frac{3}{2}\).

Answer

The first error occurs in step 4 because \((-2)^{-2}=\frac{1}{4}\), not \(4\). The corrected value is \(-\frac{3}{2}\), or \(-1.5\).
52466112
Evaluate \(\int_{-2}^{1}(x-2)^2(x+1)\,dx\).

Hints

- Simplify the integrand before finding an antiderivative. - Use the binomial formula and the distributive property to expand the product. - When substituting the negative lower limit, check the signs of its powers carefully.

Solution

1. Expand the integrand: \((x-2)^2(x+1)=(x^2-4x+4)(x+1)=x^3-3x^2+4\). 2. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^4-x^3+4x\). 3. Evaluate at the limits: \(F(1)=\frac{1}{4}-1+4=\frac{13}{4}\) and \(F(-2)=4+8-8=4\). 4. Therefore, \(F(1)-F(-2)=\frac{13}{4}-4=-\frac{3}{4}\).

Answer

\(-\frac{3}{4}\), or \(-0.75\)
52466312
Let \(F(x)=\ln(x^2+4)\). First verify that \(F\) is an antiderivative of the integrand in \(\int_{0}^{2}\frac{2x}{x^2+4}\,dx\). Then evaluate the integral.

Hints

- Differentiate \(F\) to check whether it is an antiderivative. - Use the chain rule for the logarithm of a function. - Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus at the two limits. - Use a logarithm property to simplify the difference.

Solution

1. Differentiate using the chain rule: \(F'(x)=\frac{1}{x^2+4}\cdot2x=\frac{2x}{x^2+4}\). Therefore, \(F\) is an antiderivative of the integrand. 2. By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, \(\int_{0}^{2}\frac{2x}{x^2+4}\,dx=F(2)-F(0)\). 3. Evaluate: \(F(2)=\ln(8)\) and \(F(0)=\ln(4)\). 4. Thus, \(\ln(8)-\ln(4)=\ln\left(\frac{8}{4}\right)=\ln(2)\).

Answer

\(\ln(2)\)

Differentiate to verify that \(F(x)=(2x-1)e^x\) is an antiderivative of \(f(x)=(2x+1)e^x\). Then evaluate \(\int_{0}^{1}(2x+1)e^x\,dx\).

Hints

- Use the product rule to differentiate \(F\). - To verify an antiderivative, show that its derivative equals the integrand. - Evaluate the antiderivative at the upper and lower limits. - Use parentheses when subtracting the lower-limit value.

Solution

1. Differentiate \(F\) using the product rule: \(F'(x)=2e^x+(2x-1)e^x\). 2. Combine like terms: \(F'(x)=e^x(2+2x-1)=(2x+1)e^x=f(x)\). Therefore, \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\). 3. Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: \(\int_{0}^{1}f(x)\,dx=F(1)-F(0)\). 4. Since \(F(1)=e\) and \(F(0)=-1\), the integral is \(e-(-1)=e+1\).

Answer

\(e+1\)
52467212
Let \(f\) and \(g\) be continuous on \([a, b]\), with antiderivatives \(F\) and \(G\), respectively. Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to prove the sum rule \(\int_a^b [f(x)+g(x)] \, dx=\int_a^b f(x) \, dx+\int_a^b g(x) \, dx\).

Hints

- Which function is an antiderivative of \(f+g\)? - Recall the derivative rule for a sum. - Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to each integral. - Rearrange the resulting terms so the two sides have the same form.

Solution

1. Since \((F+G)'=F'+G'=f+g\), the function \(F+G\) is an antiderivative of \(f+g\). 2. Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to the left side: \(\int_a^b [f(x)+g(x)]\,dx=[F(x)+G(x)]_a^b=F(b)+G(b)-F(a)-G(a)\). 3. Apply the theorem to the right side: \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx+\int_a^b g(x)\,dx=[F(b)-F(a)]+[G(b)-G(a)]\). 4. Rearranging the right side gives \(F(b)+G(b)-F(a)-G(a)\), which is the same expression as the left side.

Answer

Because \(F+G\) is an antiderivative of \(f+g\), the left side equals \(F(b)+G(b)-F(a)-G(a)\). Evaluating the two integrals on the right gives \([F(b)-F(a)]+[G(b)-G(a)]\), which simplifies to the same expression.

Simplify the integrand first, and then evaluate \(\int_{1}^{2}\left(\sqrt{3x}\sqrt{12x}-\frac{4}{x^3}\right)\,dx\).

Hints

- Combine the square roots into one radical. - Rewrite the fraction using a negative exponent. - Apply the power rule to each term. - Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate the definite integral.

Solution

1. On \([1,2]\), \(x>0\), so \(\sqrt{3x}\sqrt{12x}=\sqrt{36x^2}=6x\). Also, \(\frac{4}{x^3}=4x^{-3}\). Thus, the integrand is \(6x-4x^{-3}\). 2. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=3x^2+2x^{-2}=3x^2+\frac{2}{x^2}\). 3. Evaluate: \(F(2)=12+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{25}{2}\) and \(F(1)=3+2=5\). 4. Therefore, \(F(2)-F(1)=\frac{25}{2}-5=\frac{15}{2}=7.5\).

Answer

\(\frac{15}{2}\), or \(7.5\)
52469812
Use exponent properties to simplify the integrand, and then evaluate \(\int_{0}^{1}\frac{e^{3x}+e^x}{e^{2x}}\,dx\).

Hints

- Split the numerator so that each term is divided by the denominator. - Use the quotient rule for exponents with the same base. - Check the derivative of \(e^{-x}\) when finding an antiderivative. - Recall the value of a nonzero base raised to the zero power.

Solution

1. Split the fraction and subtract exponents: \(\frac{e^{3x}}{e^{2x}}+\frac{e^x}{e^{2x}}=e^x+e^{-x}\). 2. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=e^x-e^{-x}\). 3. Evaluate at the limits: \(F(1)=e-e^{-1}=e-\frac{1}{e}\) and \(F(0)=1-1=0\). 4. Therefore, the integral equals \(e-\frac{1}{e}\).

Answer

\(e-\frac{1}{e}\)

Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the exact value of \(\int_{1}^{4}\left(\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{x}+\frac{2}{x^2}\right)\,dx\).

Hints

- Rewrite the radical and the fraction using rational and negative exponents. - Apply the power rule to find an antiderivative. - Evaluate at the upper limit and subtract the value at the lower limit. - Be careful when subtracting a negative endpoint value.

Solution

1. Rewrite the integrand as \(\frac{3}{2}x^{1/2}+2x^{-2}\). 2. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=x^{3/2}-2x^{-1}=x\sqrt{x}-\frac{2}{x}\). 3. Evaluate: \(F(4)=8-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}\) and \(F(1)=1-2=-1\). 4. Thus, \(F(4)-F(1)=\frac{15}{2}-(-1)=\frac{17}{2}\).

Answer

Find the exact value of \(\int_{0}^{\pi}\left(\sin(x)-\frac{1}{3}e^x\right)\,dx\).

Hints

- Recall antiderivatives of sine and the exponential function. - Use the exact sine and cosine values at \(0\) and \(\pi\). - Recall that \(e^0=1\). - Subtract the entire lower-limit value carefully.

Solution

1. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=-\cos(x)-\frac{1}{3}e^x\). 2. At the upper limit, \(F(\pi)=1-\frac{1}{3}e^{\pi}\). 3. At the lower limit, \(F(0)=-1-\frac{1}{3}=-\frac{4}{3}\). 4. Therefore, \(F(\pi)-F(0)=1-\frac{1}{3}e^{\pi}+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{7-e^{\pi}}{3}\).

Answer

\(\frac{7-e^{\pi}}{3}\)
52471912

Hints

- Rewrite the radical and fraction using exponents. - Use the power rule to find an antiderivative. - Evaluate the antiderivative at the upper and lower limits. - Subtract the lower-limit value from the upper-limit value.

Solution

1. Rewrite the integrand as \(x^{-1/2}+2x^{-2}\). 2. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=2x^{1/2}-2x^{-1}=2\sqrt{x}-\frac{2}{x}\). 3. Evaluate: \(F(4)=4-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\) and \(F(1)=2-2=0\). 4. Therefore, \(F(4)-F(1)=\frac{7}{2}\).

Answer

\(\frac{7}{2}\), or \(3.5\)

Let \(f(x)=\ln(x)+2\) for \(x>0\). a) Differentiate to verify that \(F(x)=x\ln(x)+x\) is an antiderivative of \(f\). b) Use \(F\) to evaluate \(\int_{1}^{e}f(x)\,dx\).

Hints

- Use the product rule to differentiate \(x\ln(x)\). - Recall the derivative of \(\ln(x)\). - Use the antiderivative to evaluate the definite integral. - Recall the values of \(\ln(e)\) and \(\ln(1)\).

Solution

1. For a), use the product rule: \(F'(x)=\ln(x)+x\cdot\frac{1}{x}+1=\ln(x)+2=f(x)\). Thus, \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\). 2. For b), apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: \(\int_{1}^{e}f(x)\,dx=F(e)-F(1)\). 3. Since \(F(e)=e\ln(e)+e=2e\) and \(F(1)=\ln(1)+1=1\), the integral is \(2e-1\).

Answer

a) \(F'(x)=\ln(x)+2=f(x)\), so \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\). b) \(2e-1\)

Let \(f(x)=\frac{\ln(x)}{x}\) for \(x>0\). a) Verify that \(F(x)=\frac{1}{2}(\ln(x))^2\) is an antiderivative of \(f\). b) Find the exact value of \(\int_{1}^{e^2}f(x)\,dx\).

Solution

1. For a), differentiate using the chain rule: \(F'(x)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot2\ln(x)\cdot\frac{1}{x}=\frac{\ln(x)}{x}=f(x)\). Therefore, \(F\) is an antiderivative of \(f\). 2. For b), \(\int_{1}^{e^2}f(x)\,dx=F(e^2)-F(1)\). 3. Evaluate: \(F(e^2)=\frac{1}{2}(\ln(e^2))^2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot2^2=2\), and \(F(1)=0\). 4. The integral equals \(2\).

Find the positive integer \(a\) that satisfies \(\int_0^4\frac{8}{(x+a)^2}\,dx=1\).

Hints

- Rewrite the integrand using a negative exponent. - Apply the bounds to the antiderivative. - Clear the fractions in the resulting equation. - Use the condition that \(a\) is a positive integer.

Solution

1. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=-\frac{8}{x+a}\). 2. Apply the bounds: \(\frac{8}{a}-\frac{8}{a+4}=1\). 3. Combine the fractions: \(\frac{32}{a(a+4)}=1\), so \(a^2+4a-32=0\). 4. Factor: \((a-4)(a+8)=0\). The positive integer solution is \(a=4\).

52479912
Let \(f(x)=\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}x\right)\). a) Give two consecutive zeros of \(f\). b) Evaluate \(\int_{0}^{3}f(x)\,dx\). Explain why this value is not the total area between the graph of \(f\) and the \(x\)-axis on \([0,3]\).

Hints

- Recall where the cosine function equals zero. - Adapt the general cosine-zero formula to the argument in this function. - Reverse the chain rule when finding an antiderivative. - Determine where the graph is above and below the \(x\)-axis. - Distinguish between net signed area and total geometric area.

Solution

1. For a), solve \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}x\right)=0\). Since cosine is zero when its argument is \(\frac{\pi}{2}+k\pi\), \(\frac{\pi}{3}x=\frac{\pi}{2}+k\pi\), so \(x=\frac{3}{2}+3k\), where \(k\in\mathbb{Z}\). Two consecutive zeros are \(x=1.5\) and \(x=4.5\). 2. For b), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{3}{\pi}\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}x\right)\). Therefore, \(\int_{0}^{3}f(x)\,dx=\frac{3}{\pi}\left(\sin(\pi)-\sin(0)\right)=0\). 3. The graph is above the \(x\)-axis on \([0,1.5]\) and below it on \([1.5,3]\). The definite integral adds signed areas, so the equal positive and negative contributions cancel. Total geometric area would add their magnitudes instead.

Answer

a) Two consecutive zeros are, for example, \(x=1.5\) and \(x=4.5\). b) \(\int_{0}^{3}f(x)\,dx=0\). The graph lies both above and below the \(x\)-axis, so the definite integral gives net signed area rather than total geometric area.
52480012
Let \(g(x)=e^{0.5x}-e\). a) Find the zero of \(g\). b) Evaluate \(\int_{0}^{4}g(x)\,dx\). Explain, in terms of net signed area, why this value is not the total area between the graph and the \(x\)-axis on \([0,4]\).

Hints

- Solve the exponential equation by comparing exponents or taking logarithms. - Use the antiderivative rule for a function of the form \(e^{ax}\). - Determine the sign of the function on each side of its zero. - Recall how regions below the \(x\)-axis contribute to a definite integral.

Solution

1. For a), solve \(e^{0.5x}-e=0\). Then \(e^{0.5x}=e^1\), so \(0.5x=1\) and \(x=2\). 2. For b), an antiderivative is \(G(x)=2e^{0.5x}-ex\). Thus, \(\int_{0}^{4}g(x)\,dx=G(4)-G(0)=\left(2e^2-4e\right)-2=2e^2-4e-2\approx 1.90\). 3. The function is negative on \([0,2)\) and positive on \((2,4]\). The definite integral subtracts the area below the \(x\)-axis from the area above it. Total geometric area would require adding the absolute values of the two contributions.

Answer

a) The zero is \(x=2\). b) \(\int_{0}^{4}g(x)\,dx=2e^2-4e-2\approx 1.90\). This is net signed area, not total geometric area, because the function changes sign at \(x=2\).

Hints

- In part a), consider the symmetry of the integrand. - For a linear expression in an exponent or angle, account for its derivative when finding an antiderivative. - Check signs carefully when integrating sine and cosine. - Use exponent and logarithm properties to simplify part b).

Solution

1. For a), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{16}x^4-\frac{1}{2}x^2\). Because \(F(2)=F(-2)=-1\), the integral is \(0\). 2. For b), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{3}e^{3x}\). Therefore, \(F(\ln(2))-F(0)=\frac{1}{3}e^{3\ln(2)}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{3}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}\). 3. For c), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=-2\cos(x)-\frac{1}{2}\sin(2x)\). Thus, \(F\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-F(0)=0-(-2)=2\).

Hints

- Recall antiderivative rules for powers, exponential functions, and trigonometric functions. - Evaluate the antiderivative at the upper limit and subtract its value at the lower limit. - In part b), rewrite the fraction using a negative exponent. - In part c), account for the coefficient in the exponent.

Solution

1. For a), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=2\sin(x)+\cos(x)\). Thus, \(F\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-F(0)=2-1=1\). 2. For b), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=-2x^{-2}+2x=-\frac{2}{x^2}+2x\). Thus, \(F(2)-F(1)=\frac{7}{2}-0=\frac{7}{2}\). 3. For c), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}+\frac{1}{2}x^2\). Thus, \(F(1)-F(0)=\left(\frac{1}{2}e^2+\frac{1}{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}e^2\).

Hints

- Rewrite the radical as a power before using the power rule. - Recall the antiderivative of \(\frac{1}{x}\). - Use parentheses when substituting negative values into powers. - In part c), symmetry can simplify part of the integral.

Solution

1. For a), rewrite the integrand as \(3x^{1/2}-1\). An antiderivative is \(F(x)=2x^{3/2}-x\). Therefore, \(F(4)-F(1)=12-1=11\). 2. For b), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=2\ln(x)\) on the interval. Thus, \(F(e^2)-F(e)=4-2=2\). 3. For c), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{6}x^6-x^3\). Therefore, \(F(1)-F(-1)=-\frac{5}{6}-\frac{7}{6}=-2\).

- Express a general normal cumulative distribution function in terms of the standard normal function. - Compare the density values at each distribution's mean. - What cumulative probability is reached when the upper endpoint moves without bound? - A larger \(\sigma\) produces a wider distribution.

Solution

1. First stretch the graph horizontally by a factor of \(2\), producing \(\Phi_{0,1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\). Then shift it \(5\) units to the right, giving \(F_2(x)=\Phi_{0,1}\left(\frac{x-5}{2}\right)\). 2. At the mean, the slope of a normal cumulative distribution function is \(\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\). Since \(1<2\), \(F_1\) has the greater slope at its mean. 3. Both functions approach \(1\) as \(x\to\infty\). This represents the total probability of all possible values.

Answer

1. Stretch horizontally by a factor of \(2\), then shift \(5\) units right. 2. The slope at the mean is inversely proportional to \(\sigma\), so \(F_1\) is steeper. 3. The limit is \(1\), representing total probability.

Let \(f(x)=x^4-2x^2\). 1. Find the first and second derivatives of \(f\). 2. Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find \(G(x)=\int_{1}^{x}f''(t)\,dt\). 3. Differentiate \(G\), compare the result with \(f''(x)\), and briefly explain how this illustrates that integration and differentiation are inverse processes.

Hints

- Apply the power rule for derivatives. - Recognize an antiderivative of the second derivative. - Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus at the limits \(1\) and \(x\). - Differentiate the result and compare it with the integrand.

Solution

1. The derivatives are \(f'(x)=4x^3-4x\) and \(f''(x)=12x^2-4\). 2. Since \(f'\) is an antiderivative of \(f''\), \(G(x)=f'(x)-f'(1)\). Because \(f'(1)=4-4=0\), \(G(x)=4x^3-4x\). 3. Differentiating gives \(G'(x)=12x^2-4=f''(x)\). Integrating a derivative recovers the original function up to a constant, and differentiating an accumulation function recovers its integrand.

Answer

1. \(f'(x)=4x^3-4x\); \(f''(x)=12x^2-4\) 2. \(G(x)=4x^3-4x\) 3. \(G'(x)=12x^2-4=f''(x)\)

Prove the constant multiple rule for definite integrals: \(\int_a^b kf(x) \, dx=k\int_a^b f(x) \, dx\), where \(k\in\mathbb{R}\). Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and the corresponding derivative rule.

Hints

- Use the derivative rule for a constant multiple. - Identify an antiderivative of \(kf\) from an antiderivative of \(f\). - Apply the Fundamental Theorem at the endpoints. - Factor \(k\) from the resulting difference.

Solution

1. Let \(F\) be an antiderivative of \(f\), so \(F'(x)=f(x)\). 2. By the constant multiple rule for derivatives, \([kF(x)]'=kF'(x)=kf(x)\). Thus \(kF\) is an antiderivative of \(kf\). 3. By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, \(\int_a^b kf(x)\,dx=[kF(x)]_a^b=kF(b)-kF(a)\). 4. Factor out \(k\): \(k[F(b)-F(a)]=k\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\).

Answer

If \(F'=f\), then \((kF)'=kf\). Therefore, the Fundamental Theorem gives \(\int_a^b kf(x)\,dx=[kF(x)]_a^b=k[F(b)-F(a)]=k\int_a^b f(x)\,dx\).

Hints

- Differentiate the difference of two antiderivatives. - Use the derivative difference rule. - Apply the Fundamental Theorem to the difference. - Regroup the endpoint terms into two separate differences.

Solution

1. Let \(F'=f\) and \(G'=g\). By the difference rule for derivatives, \((F-G)'=F'-G'=f-g\). 2. Thus \(F-G\) is an antiderivative of \(f-g\). By the Fundamental Theorem, \(\int_a^b[f(x)-g(x)]\,dx=[F(x)-G(x)]_a^b\). 3. Expand the endpoint expression: \([F(b)-G(b)]-[F(a)-G(a)]\) \(=[F(b)-F(a)]-[G(b)-G(a)]\). 4. Applying the Fundamental Theorem to each difference gives the desired result.

Answer

Because \((F-G)'=f-g\), the Fundamental Theorem gives \(\int_a^b(f-g)\,dx=[F-G]_a^b=[F(b)-F(a)]-[G(b)-G(a)]=\int_a^b f\,dx-\int_a^b g\,dx\).

Hints

- Simplify the rational expression before integrating. - Divide each term in the numerator by the denominator. - Rewrite the remaining reciprocal term with a negative exponent. - Use parentheses when subtracting the lower-limit value.

Solution

1. Divide each numerator term by \(2x^2\): \(\frac{4x^4-3x^2+2}{2x^2}=2x^2-\frac{3}{2}+x^{-2}\). 2. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{2}{3}x^3-\frac{3}{2}x-x^{-1}\). 3. Evaluate: \(F(2)=\frac{16}{3}-3-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{6}\), and \(F(1)=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{2}-1=-\frac{11}{6}\). 4. Therefore, \(F(2)-F(1)=\frac{11}{6}+\frac{11}{6}=\frac{11}{3}\).

For b), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2+\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}\). Thus, \(F(4)-F(1)=\frac{40}{3}-\frac{7}{6}=\frac{73}{6}\). 3. For c), an antiderivative is \(F(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^4-\frac{1}{2}x^2\). Thus, \(F(2)-F(0)=2\).

Answer

Evaluate \(\int_{-1}^{2}f(x) \, dx\) for the piecewise-defined function \(f(x)=\begin{cases}e^{2x},&x\le 0\\1-x,&x>0.\end{cases}\)

Hints

- Split the interval where the function definition changes. - Evaluate each piece using its own antiderivative. - Add the two definite integrals.

Solution

1. Split the integral where the formula changes: \(\int_{-1}^{0}e^{2x}\,dx+\int_0^2(1-x)\,dx\). 2. The first part is \([\frac{1}{2}e^{2x}]_{-1}^{0}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2e^2}\). 3. The second part is \([x-\frac{1}{2}x^2]_0^2=0\). 4. Therefore, the total is \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2e^2}\approx 0.432\).

Let \(f(x)=\frac{2}{x}\). a) Evaluate \(I_1=\int_{1}^{e^2}f(x)\,dx\). b) Evaluate \(I_2=\int_{-e}^{-1}f(x)\,dx\). c) Use the symmetry and position of the graph of \(f\) to explain why \(I_1\) is positive and \(I_2\) is negative.

Hints

- Recall the antiderivative of the reciprocal function. - Use absolute value inside the logarithm for negative limits. - Simplify logarithms of powers of \(e\). - Relate the sign of a definite integral to whether the graph lies above or below the x-axis.

Solution

1. An antiderivative on either interval is \(F(x)=2\ln|x|\). 2. For a), \(I_1=2\ln(e^2)-2\ln(1)=4\). 3. For b), \(I_2=2\ln|-1|-2\ln|-e|=0-2=-2\). 4. The function is odd because \(f(-x)=-f(x)\). Its graph lies above the x-axis for \(x>0\) and below the x-axis for \(x<0\). Therefore, the signed area in part a) is positive, while the signed area in part b) is negative.

Answer

a) \(I_1=4\) b) \(I_2=-2\) c) The graph is symmetric about the origin. It is above the x-axis on the interval for \(I_1\) and below the x-axis on the interval for \(I_2\), so the integrals have opposite signs.

Consider \(s(x)=\frac{1}{2}(e^x-e^{-x})\) and \(c(x)=\frac{1}{2}(e^x+e^{-x})\). 1. Use the derivative \(s'\) to explain why \(s\) is strictly increasing on \(\mathbb{R}\). 2. Substitute the definitions to prove that \(s(2x)=2s(x)c(x)\) for every real \(x\). 3. The graph of \(s\), the x-axis, and the line \(x=\ln(2)\) enclose a region in the first quadrant. Find its area.

Hints

- What sign must the derivative have for a function to be strictly increasing? - Multiply the two binomials and use a difference-of-squares identity. - Notice that \(c\) is an antiderivative of \(s\). - Use \(e^{\ln(a)}=a\) and \(e^{-\ln(a)}=\frac{1}{a}\).

Solution

1. \(s'(x)=\frac{1}{2}(e^x+e^{-x})\). Both exponential terms are positive for every real \(x\), so \(s'(x)>0\). Therefore, \(s\) is strictly increasing. 2. \(2s(x)c(x)=2\left[\frac{1}{2}(e^x-e^{-x})\right]\left[\frac{1}{2}(e^x+e^{-x})\right]\). Using the difference of squares, this becomes \(\frac{1}{2}(e^{2x}-e^{-2x})=s(2x)\). 3. Since \(s(x)\geq0\) on \([0,\ln(2)]\), the area is \(A=\int_0^{\ln(2)}s(x)\,dx\). An antiderivative of \(s\) is \(c\), so \(A=c(\ln(2))-c(0)\). 4. \(c(\ln(2))=\frac{1}{2}\left(2+\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{5}{4}\), and \(c(0)=1\). Therefore, \(A=\frac{5}{4}-1=\frac{1}{4}\).

Answer

1. \(s'(x)=\frac{1}{2}(e^x+e^{-x})>0\), so \(s\) is strictly increasing. 2. \(2s(x)c(x)=\frac{1}{2}(e^{2x}-e^{-2x})=s(2x)\) 3. \(A=\frac{1}{4}\) square units

Panel a) shows the graph of a function \(f\). Panel b) shows three curves labeled g, h, and k. One curve is a possible antiderivative \(F\) of \(f\). a) Identify the curve that represents \(F\). Justify your choice using critical points, zeros, and monotonicity. b) For the antiderivative \(F(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^3-\frac{3}{4}x^2+1\), calculate \(\int_0^2 f(x)\,dx\).
Figure for problem 532444

Hints

- Use \(F'=f\) to connect zeros of \(f\) with critical points of \(F\). - The sign of \(f\) tells whether \(F\) increases or decreases. - Compare those features with each candidate curve. - Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus for the definite integral.

Solution

1. Because \(F'=f\), the zeros of \(f\) at \(x=0\) and \(x=2\) must be critical points of \(F\). 2. The graph of \(f\) is positive for \(x<0\), negative for \(0<x<2\), and positive for \(x>2\). Therefore, \(F\) increases, then decreases, then increases. 3. Thus, \(F\) has a local maximum at \(x=0\) and a local minimum at \(x=2\). Only curve g has this behavior. 4. By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, \(\int_0^2 f(x)\,dx=F(2)-F(0)\). 5. \(F(2)=\frac{1}{4}(8)-\frac{3}{4}(4)+1=0\), and \(F(0)=1\). 6. Therefore, \(\int_0^2 f(x)\,dx=0-1=-1\).

Solution

1. A local maximum of \(F\) occurs where \(f=F'\) changes from positive to negative. The graph shows this sign change at \(x=1\). 2. By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, \(\int_{-2}^{0}f(x)\,dx=F_1(0)-F_1(-2)\). 3. The signed area on \([-2,0]\) is \(4\). Therefore, \(4=3-F_1(-2)\). 4. Solving gives \(F_1(-2)=-1\).

The graph shows the cumulative distribution functions \(F_1\) and \(F_2\) of two normal random variables \(X_1\) and \(X_2\). a) Estimate the mean \(\mu\) and standard deviation \(\sigma\) for each distribution from the graph. Briefly explain your method. b) Find the maximum value of each corresponding probability density function. Round to two decimal places. c) What does each maximum density value represent geometrically on the graph of its cumulative distribution function?

Hints

- What cumulative probability occurs at the mean of a normal distribution? - What cumulative probability occurs at \(\mu+\sigma\)? - How are a density function and its cumulative distribution function related? - What does a maximum derivative value mean for the original graph?

Solution

1. a) A normal cumulative distribution function satisfies \(F(\mu)=0.5\). Also, \(F(\mu+\sigma)\approx 0.8413\). From the graph, \(F_1(1)=0.5\) and \(F_1(2)\approx 0.8413\), so \(\mu_1=1\) and \(\sigma_1=1\). Also, \(F_2(4)=0.5\) and \(F_2(6)\approx 0.8413\), so \(\mu_2=4\) and \(\sigma_2=2\). 2. b) The maximum of a normal density is \(\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\). Thus, the first maximum is \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\approx 0.40\), and the second is \(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}}\approx 0.20\). 3. c) Since \(F'(x)=f(x)\), the maximum density value is the maximum slope of the cumulative distribution graph. It is the slope of the tangent at the inflection point \((\mu, 0.5)\).

Answer

a) \(F_1\): \(\mu_1=1\), \(\sigma_1=1\); \(F_2\): \(\mu_2=4\), \(\sigma_2=2\) b) First density: approximately \(0.40\); second density: approximately \(0.20\) c) Each value is the maximum slope of the corresponding cumulative distribution function at \((\mu, 0.5)\).

Use the graph of the antiderivative \(F\) to evaluate \(\int_{0}^{3}f(x)\,dx\).
Figure for problem 534665

Hints

- Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus with the graphed antiderivative. - Read \(F(0)\) and \(F(3)\) from the graph. - Find the change in \(F\) between the two endpoints.

Solution

1. By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, \(\int_{0}^{3}f(x)\,dx=F(3)-F(0)\). 2. From the graph, \(F(3)=4\) and \(F(0)=4\). 3. Therefore, \(F(3)-F(0)=4-4=0\).

Answer

\(0\)

Let \(h\) be twice continuously differentiable, and define \(I(x)=\int_{a}^{x}h'(t)\,dt\). 1. Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to write \(I(x)\) without an integral sign. 2. Find the derivative of \(I\), and justify your result. 3. Use parts 1 and 2 to illustrate both meanings of the statement “integration is the inverse of differentiation”: a) Integrating a derivative recovers the original function up to a constant. b) Differentiating an accumulation function recovers the original integrand.

Hints

- Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in general form. - Identify an antiderivative of \(h'\). - Treat \(a\) and \(h(a)\) as constants. - Compare the roles of antiderivatives and derivatives.

Solution

1. Since \(h\) is an antiderivative of \(h'\), \(I(x)=h(x)-h(a)\). 2. Because \(h(a)\) is constant with respect to \(x\), \(\frac{dI}{dx}=h'(x)\). 3. For a), integrating \(h'\) gives \(h(x)\) plus the constant \(-h(a)\). For b), differentiating the accumulation function gives its integrand \(h'(x)\).

Answer

1. \(I(x)=h(x)-h(a)\) 2. \(\frac{dI}{dx}=h'(x)\) 3. Integration recovers \(h\) up to a constant, and differentiation of \(I\) recovers \(h'\).

Evaluate \(\int_{0}^{2}\frac{x^2+2x+5}{x^2+2x+1}\,dx\).

Hints

- Compare the numerator and denominator. - Rewrite the denominator as a perfect square. - Split the rational expression into simpler terms. - Express \(\frac{k}{(x+a)^2}\) using a negative exponent before integrating.

Solution

1. Recognize that \(x^2+2x+1=(x+1)^2\), and rewrite the numerator as \(x^2+2x+5=(x+1)^2+4\). 2. Then the integrand becomes \(1+\frac{4}{(x+1)^2}=1+4(x+1)^{-2}\). 3. An antiderivative is \(F(x)=x-\frac{4}{x+1}\). 4. Evaluate: \(F(2)=2-\frac{4}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\), and \(F(0)=-4\). 5. Therefore, \(F(2)-F(0)=\frac{2}{3}+4=\frac{14}{3}\).

Answer

\(\frac{14}{3}\)
