\(A\) 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 \(E_{x}(a)=2 k \rho / a\)
\(\pi < \frac{22}{7}\) 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 \(\pi < \frac{22}{7} ?\)
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.
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
Refer to the summary box (Partial Fraction Decompositions) and evaluate the following integrals. $$\int \frac{x}{(x-1)\left(x^{2}+2 x+2\right)^{2}} d x$$
