Evaluate \(\int \frac{d y}{y(\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{y})},\) for \(a > 0\). (Hint: Use the substitution \(u=\sqrt{y}\) followed by partial fractions.)
\(\pi < \frac{22}{7}\) 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 \(\pi < \frac{22}{7} ?\)
Use numerical methods or a calculator to approximate the following integrals as closely as possible. $$\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \ln (\sin x) d x=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \ln (\cos x) d x=-\frac{\pi \ln 2}{2}$$
Imagine that today you deposit \(\$ B\) in a savings account that earns interest at a rate of \(p \%\) per year compounded continuously. The goal is to draw an income of \(\$ I\) per year from the account forever. The amount of money that must be deposited is \(B=I \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-n t} d t,\) where \(r=p / 100 .\) Suppose you find an account that earns \(12 \%\) interest annully and you wish to have an income from the account of \(\$ 5000\) per year. How much must you deposit today?
Recall that the substitution \(x=a \sec \theta\) implies that \(x \geq a\) (in which case \(0 \leq \theta<\pi / 2\) and \(\tan \theta \geq 0\) ) or \(x \leq-a\) (in which case \(\pi / 2<\theta \leq \pi\) and \(\tan \theta \leq 0\) ). $$ \begin{array}{l} \text { Show that } \int \frac{d x}{x \sqrt{x^{2}-1}}= \\ \qquad\left\\{\begin{array}{ll} \sec ^{-1} x+C=\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{x^{2}-1}+C & \text { if } x>1 \\ -\sec ^{-1} x+C=-\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{x^{2}-1}+C & \text { if } x<-1 \end{array}\right. \end{array} $$
