Compute the following derivatives using the method of your choice. $$\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{\left(x^{10}\right)}\right)$$
Evaluate the following definite integrals. Use Theorem 10 to express your answer in terms of logarithms. \(\int_{-2}^{2} \frac{d t}{t^{2}-9}\)
Refer to Exercise \(95,\) which gives the position function for a falling body. Use \(m=75 \mathrm{kg}\) and \(k=0.2\) a. Confirm that the base jumper's velocity \(t\) seconds after $$\text { jumping is } v(t)=d^{\prime}(t)=\sqrt{\frac{m g}{k}} \tanh (\sqrt{\frac{k g}{m}} t)$$ b. How fast is the BASE jumper falling at the end of a 10 s delay? c. How long does it take for the BASE jumper to reach a speed of \(45 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \text { (roughly } 100 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}) ?\)
When an object falling from rest encounters air resistance proportional to the square of its velocity, the distance it falls (in meters) after \(t\) seconds is given by \(d(t)=\frac{m}{k} \ln [\cosh (\sqrt{\frac{k g}{m}} t)],\) where \(m\) is the mass of the object in kilograms, \(g=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \(k\) is a physical constant. a. A BASE jumper \((m=75 \mathrm{kg})\) leaps from a tall cliff and performs a ten-second delay (she free-falls for 10 s and then opens her chute). How far does she fall in \(10 \mathrm{s} ?\) Assume \(k=0.2\) b. How long does it take for her to fall the first \(100 \mathrm{m} ?\) The second 100 \(\mathrm{m} ?\) What is her average velocity over each of these intervals?
The harmonic sum is \(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\dots+\frac{1}{n} .\) Use a right Riemann sum to approximate \(\int_{1}^{n} \frac{d x}{x}(\) with unit spacing between the grid points) to show that \(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n}>\ln (n+1)\) Use this fact to conclude that \(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n}\right)\) does not exist.
