A differential equation of the form \(y^{\prime}(t)=F(y)\) is said to be autonomous (the function \(F\) depends only on \(y\) ). The constant function \(y=y_{0}\) is an equilibrium solution of the equation provided \(F\left(y_{0}\right)=0\) (because then \(y^{\prime}(t)=0,\) and the solution remains constant for all \(t\) ). Note that equilibrium solutions correspond to horizontal line segments in the direction field. Note also that for autonomous equations, the direction field is independent of \(t\). Consider the following equations. a. Find all equilibrium solutions. b. Sketch the direction field on either side of the equilibrium solutions for \(t \geq 0\). c. Sketch the solution curve that corresponds to the initial condition \(y(0)=1\). $$y^{\prime}(t)=y(y-3)$$
Apply Simpson's Rule to the following integrals. It is easiest to obtain the Simpson's Rule approximations from the Trapezoid Rule approximations, as in Example \(7 .\) Make \(a\) table similar to Table 7.8 showing the approximations and errors for \(n=4,8,16,\) and \(32 .\) The exact values of the integrals are given for computing the error. \(\int_{1}^{e} \ln x d x=1\)
A remarkable integral It is a fact that \(\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{d x}{1+\tan ^{m} x}=\frac{\pi}{4}\) for all real numbers \(m .\) a. Graph the integrand for \(m=-2,-3 / 2,-1,-1 / 2,0,1 / 2\) \(1,3 / 2,\) and \(2,\) and explain geometrically how the area under the curve on the interval \([0, \pi / 2]\) remains constant as \(m\) varies. b. Use a computer algebra system to confirm that the integral is constant for all \(m.\)
An important function in statistics is the Gaussian (or normal distribution, or bell-shaped curve), \(f(x)=e^{-\alpha x^{2}}\). a. Graph the Gaussian for \(a=0.5,1,\) and 2 b. Given that \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-a x^{2}} d x=\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a}},\) compute the area under the curves in part (a). c. Complete the square to evaluate \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-\left(a x^{2}+b x+c\right)} d x,\) where \(a>0, b,\) and \(c\) are real numbers.
Use integration by parts to evaluate the following integrals. $$\int_{0}^{\infty} x e^{-x} d x$$
