Find the area of the following regions. In each case, graph the relevant curves and show the region in question. The region bounded entirely by the curve \(y=\frac{x^{2}-4 x-4}{x^{2}-4 x-5}\) and the \(x\) -axis.
Three cars, \(A, B,\) and \(C,\) start from rest and accelerate along a line according to the following velocity functions: $$v_{A}(t)=\frac{88 t}{t+1}, \quad v_{B}(t)=\frac{88 t^{2}}{(t+1)^{2}}, \quad \text { and } \quad v_{C}(t)=\frac{88 t^{2}}{t^{2}+1}$$ a. Which car has traveled farthest on the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 1 ?\) b. Which car has traveled farthest on the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 5 ?\) c. Find the position functions for the three cars assuming that all cars start at the origin. d. Which car ultimately gains the lead and remains in front?
\(\pi < \frac{22}{7}\) One of the earliest approximations to \(\pi\) is \(\frac{22}{7} .\) Verify that \(0 < \int_{0}^{1} \frac{x^{4}(1-x)^{4}}{1+x^{2}} d x=\frac{22}{7}-\pi .\) Why can you conclude that \(\pi < \frac{22}{7} ?\)
\(A\) powerful tool in solving problems in engineering and physics is the Laplace transform. Given a function \(f(t),\) the Laplace transform is a new function \(F(s)\) defined by $$ F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} f(t) d t $$ where we assume that s is a positive real number. For example, to find the Laplace transform of \(f(t)=e^{-t},\) the following improper integral is evaluated: $$ F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} e^{-t} d t=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-(s+1) t} d t=\frac{1}{s+1} $$ Verify the following Laplace transforms, where a is a real number. $$f(t)=t \longrightarrow F(s)=\frac{1}{s^{2}}$$
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. $$A: d x=\frac{2}{1+u^{2}} d u \quad B: \sin x=\frac{2 u}{1+u^{2}} \quad C: \cos x=\frac{1-u^{2}}{1+u^{2}}$$ $$\text { Evaluate } \int \frac{d x}{1+\sin x+\cos x}$$
