Let \(a>0\) and let \(R\) be the region bounded by the graph of \(y=e^{-a x}\) and the \(x\) -axis on the interval \([b, \infty)\) a. Find \(A(a, b),\) the area of \(R\) as a function of \(a\) and \(b\) b. Find the relationship \(b=g(a)\) such that \(A(a, b)=2\) c. What is the minimum value of \(b\) (call it \(b^{*}\) ) such that when \(b>b^{*}, A(a, b)=2\) for some value of \(a>0 ?\)
\(\pi<\frac{22}{7}\) 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 \(\pi<\frac{22}{7} ?\)
Sociologists model thespread of rumors using logistic equations. The key
assumption is that at any given time, a fraction \(y\) of the population, where
\(0 \leq y \leq 1,\) knows the rumor, while the remaining fraction \(1-y\) does
not. Furthermore, the rumor spreads by interactions between those who know the
rumor and those who do not. The number of such interactions is proportional to
\(y(1-y) .\) Therefore, the equation that models the spread of the rumor is
\(y^{\prime}(t)=k y(1-y)\), where \(k\) is a positive real number. The fraction of
people who initially know the rumor is \(y(0)=y_{0},\) where \(0
Find the volume of the described solid of revolution or state that it does not exist. The region bounded by \(f(x)=-\ln x\) and the \(x\) -axis on the interval (0,1] is revolved about the \(x\) -axis.
Given a Midpoint Rule approximation \(M(n)\) and a Trapezoid Rule approximation \(T(n)\) for a continuous function on \([a, b]\) with \(n\) subintervals, show that \(T(2 n)=(T(n)+M(n)) / 2\).
