Imagine that today you deposit \(\$ B\) in a savings account that earns interest at a rate of \(p \%\) per year compounded continuously. The goal is to draw an income of \(\$ I\) per year from the account forever. The amount of money that must be deposited is \(B=I \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-n t} d t,\) where \(r=p / 100 .\) Suppose you find an account that earns \(12 \%\) interest annully and you wish to have an income from the account of \(\$ 5000\) per year. How much must you deposit today?
Evaluate the following integrals. Consider completing the square. $$\int_{2+\sqrt{2}}^{4} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{(x-1)(x-3)}}$$
Use the following three identities to evaluate the given integrals. $$\begin{aligned}&\sin m x \sin n x=\frac{1}{2}[\cos ((m-n) x)-\cos ((m+n) x)]\\\&\sin m x \cos n x=\frac{1}{2}[\sin ((m-n) x)+\sin ((m+n) x)]\\\&\cos m x \cos n x=\frac{1}{2}[\cos ((m-n) x)+\cos ((m+n) x)]\end{aligned}$$ $$\int \sin 5 x \sin 7 x d x$$
Use the Trapezoid Rule (Section 7 ) to approximate \(\int_{0}^{R} e^{-x^{2}} d x\) with \(R=2,4,\) and 8. For each value of \(R\), take \(n=4,8,16,\) and \(32,\) and compare approximations with successive values of \(n .\) Use these approximations to approximate \(I=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}} d x.\)
Let \(R\) be the region between the curves \(y=e^{-c x}\) and \(y=-e^{-c x}\) on the interval \([a, \infty),\) where \(a \geq 0\) and \(c \geq 0 .\) The center of mass of \(R\) is located at \((\bar{x}, 0)\) where \(\bar{x}=\frac{\int_{a}^{\infty} x e^{-c x} d x}{\int_{a}^{\infty} e^{-c x} d x} .\) (The profile of the Eiffel Tower is modeled by the two exponential curves.) a. For \(a=0\) and \(c=2,\) sketch the curves that define \(R\) and find the center of mass of \(R\). Indicate the location of the center of mass. b. With \(a=0\) and \(c=2,\) find equations of the lines tangent to the curves at the points corresponding to \(x=0.\) c. Show that the tangent lines intersect at the center of mass. d. Show that this same property holds for any \(a \geq 0\) and any \(c>0 ;\) that is, the tangent lines to the curves \(y=\pm e^{-c x}\) at \(x=a\) intersect at the center of mass of \(R\) (Source: P. Weidman and I. Pinelis, Comptes Rendu, Mechanique \(332(2004): 571-584 .)\)
