Problem 3
Given the velocity function \(v\) of an object moving along a line, explain how definite integrals can be used to find the displacement of the object.
Problem 3
Setting up arc length integrals Write and simplify, but do not evaluate, an integral with respect to \(x\) that gives the length of the following curves on the given interval. $$y=x^{3}+2 \text { on }[-2,5]$$
Problem 5

Problem 8
Use the general slicing method to find the volume of the following solids. The solid whose base is the region bounded by the semicircle \(y=\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\) and the \(x\) -axis, and whose cross sections through the solid perpendicular to the \(x\) -axis are squares.
Problem 11
Devise the exponential growth function that fits the given data; then answer the accompanying questions. Be sure to identify the reference point \((t=0)\) and units of time. The population of a town with a 2010 population of 90,000 grows at a rate of \(2.4 \% /\) yr. In what year will the population double its initial value (to \(180,000) ?\)
Problem 14
Devise the exponential growth function that fits the given data; then answer the accompanying questions. Be sure to identify the reference point \((t=0)\) and units of time. How long will it take an initial deposit of \(\$ 1500\) to increase in value to \(\$ 2500\) in a saving account with an APY of 3.1 \(\%\) ? Assume the interest rate remains constant and no additional deposits or withdrawals are made.
