Shortcut for the Trapezoid Rule Prove that if you have \(M(n)\) and \(T(n)\) (a Midpoint Rule approximation and a Trapezoid Rule approximation with \(n\) subintervals), then \(T(2 n)=(T(n)+M(n)) / 2\).
\(A\) 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 \(E_{x}(a)=2 k \rho / a\)
Find the volume of the following solids. The region bounded by \(y=1 /(x+2), y=0, x=0,\) and \(x=3\) is revolved about the line \(x=-1\)
Use the indicated substitution to convert the given integral to an integral of a rational function. Evaluate the resulting integral. $$\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{1+\sqrt{x}}} ; x=\left(u^{2}-1\right)^{2}$$
Refer to the summary box (Partial Fraction Decompositions) and evaluate the following integrals. $$\int \frac{x^{3}+1}{x\left(x^{2}+x+1\right)^{2}} d x$$
