Suppose \(f\) is positive and its first two derivatives are continuous on \([a, b] .\) If \(f^{\prime \prime}\) is positive on \([a, b],\) then is a Trapezoid Rule estimate of \(\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x\) an underestimate or overestimate of the integral? Justify your answer using Theorem 2 and an illustration.
Let \(R\) be the region between the curves \(y=e^{-c x}\) and \(y=-e^{-c x}\) on the interval \([a, \infty),\) where \(a \geq 0\) and \(c \geq 0 .\) The center of mass of \(R\) is located at \((\bar{x}, 0)\) where \(\bar{x}=\frac{\int_{a}^{\infty} x e^{-c x} d x}{\int_{a}^{\infty} e^{-c x} d x} .\) (The profile of the Eiffel Tower is modeled by the two exponential curves.) a. For \(a=0\) and \(c=2,\) sketch the curves that define \(R\) and find the center of mass of \(R\). Indicate the location of the center of mass. b. With \(a=0\) and \(c=2,\) find equations of the lines tangent to the curves at the points corresponding to \(x=0.\) c. Show that the tangent lines intersect at the center of mass. d. Show that this same property holds for any \(a \geq 0\) and any \(c>0 ;\) that is, the tangent lines to the curves \(y=\pm e^{-c x}\) at \(x=a\) intersect at the center of mass of \(R\) (Source: P. Weidman and I. Pinelis, Comptes Rendu, Mechanique \(332(2004): 571-584 .)\)
The following integrals require a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using partial fractions. Evaluate these integrals. $$\int \frac{d x}{\left(e^{x}+e^{-x}\right)^{2}}$$
Use the indicated substitution to convert the given integral to an integral of a rational function. Evaluate the resulting integral. $$\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{1+\sqrt{x}}} ; x=\left(u^{2}-1\right)^{2}$$
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. To evaluate \(\int \frac{4 x^{6}}{x^{4}+3 x^{2}} d x\), the first step is to find the partial fraction decomposition of the integrand. b. The easiest way to evaluate \(\int \frac{6 x+1}{3 x^{2}+x} d x\) is with a partial fraction decomposition of the integrand. c. The rational function \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}-13 x+42}\) has an irreducible quadratic denominator. d. The rational function \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}-13 x+43}\) has an irreducible quadratic denominator.
