Suppose that the rate at which a company extracts oil is given by \(r(t)=r_{0} e^{-k t},\) where \(r_{0}=10^{7}\) barrels \(/ \mathrm{yr}\) and \(k=0.005 \mathrm{yr}^{-1} .\) Suppose also the estimate of the total oil reserve is \(2 \times 10^{9}\) barrels. If the extraction continues indefinitely, will the reserve be exhausted?
\(A\) total charge of \(Q\) is distributed uniformly on a line segment of length \(2 L\) along the \(y\) -axis (see figure). The \(x\) -component of the electric field at a point \((a, 0)\) on the \(x\) -axis is given by $$E_{x}(a)=\frac{k Q a}{2 L} \int_{-L}^{L} \frac{d y}{\left(a^{2}+y^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}$$ where \(k\) is a physical constant and \(a>0\) a. Confirm that \(E_{x}(a)=\frac{k Q}{a \sqrt{a^{2}+L^{2}}}\) b. Letting \(\rho=Q / 2 L\) be the charge density on the line segment, show that if \(L \rightarrow \infty,\) then \(E_{x}(a)=2 k \rho / a\)
An integrand with trigonometric functions in the numerator and denominator can often be converted to a rational integrand using the substitution \(u=\tan (x / 2)\) or \(x=2 \tan ^{-1} u .\) The following relations are used in making this change of variables. $$A: d x=\frac{2}{1+u^{2}} d u \quad B: \sin x=\frac{2 u}{1+u^{2}} \quad C: \cos x=\frac{1-u^{2}}{1+u^{2}}$$ $$\text { Evaluate } \int \frac{d \theta}{\cos \theta-\sin \theta}$$
The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \frac{x^{4}+1}{x^{3}+9 x} d x$$
Use the following three identities to evaluate the given integrals. $$\begin{aligned}&\sin m x \sin n x=\frac{1}{2}[\cos ((m-n) x)-\cos ((m+n) x)]\\\&\sin m x \cos n x=\frac{1}{2}[\sin ((m-n) x)+\sin ((m+n) x)]\\\&\cos m x \cos n x=\frac{1}{2}[\cos ((m-n) x)+\cos ((m+n) x)]\end{aligned}$$ $$\int \sin 3 x \cos 7 x d x$$
