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 \(I=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}} d x.\)
The heights of U.S. men are normally distributed with a mean of 69 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches. This means that the fraction of men with a height between \(a\) and \(b\) (with \(a
When is the volume finite? Let \(R\) be the region bounded by the graph of \(f(x)=x^{-p}\) and the \(x\) -axis, for \(x \geq 1.\) a. Let \(S\) be the solid generated when \(R\) is revolved about the \(x\) -axis. For what values of \(p\) is the volume of \(S\) finite? b. Let \(S\) be the solid generated when \(R\) is revolved about the \(y\) -axis. For what values of \(p\) is the volume of \(S\) finite?
Show that \(L=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(\frac{1}{n} \ln n !-\ln n\right)=-1\) in the following steps. a. Note that \(n !=n(n-1)(n-2) \cdots 1\) and use \(\ln (a b)=\ln a+\ln b\) to show that $$ \begin{aligned} L &=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty}\left[\left(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^{n} \ln k\right)-\ln n\right] \\ &=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^{n} \ln \left(\frac{k}{n}\right) \end{aligned} $$ b. Identify the limit of this sum as a Riemann sum for \(\int_{0}^{1} \ln x d x\) Integrate this improper integral by parts and reach the desired conclusion.
Use the following three identities to evaluate the given integrals. $$\begin{aligned}&\sin m x \sin n x=\frac{1}{2}[\cos ((m-n) x)-\cos ((m+n) x)]\\\&\sin m x \cos n x=\frac{1}{2}[\sin ((m-n) x)+\sin ((m+n) x)]\\\&\cos m x \cos n x=\frac{1}{2}[\cos ((m-n) x)+\cos ((m+n) x)]\end{aligned}$$ $$\int \sin 3 x \cos 7 x d x$$
