Chapter 7: Problem 49

Evaluate the following integrals or state that they diverge. $$\int_{-2}^{2} \frac{d p}{\sqrt{4-p^{2}}}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
If it converges, what is its value? Answer: The integral converges, and its value is $$\pi$$.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Trigonometric Substitution

In order to evaluate the integral, we need to find a suitable trigonometric substitution to convert the expression into a simpler form. Since it is of the form $$\int \frac{d p}{\sqrt{4-p^{2}}},$$ we can use the substitution $$p = 2\sin\theta.$$ The reason is that in this case, the expression $$4 - p^2$$ becomes $$4\cos^2\theta,$$ which simplifies the square root.
02

Find the Differential Substitution

Now that we have chosen the substitution $$p = 2\sin\theta$$, we need to find the differential substitution. Differentiate with respect to $$\theta$$ to find $$dp$$: $$dp = 2\cos\theta d\theta.$$
03

Change the Limits of Integration

Since we are changing the variable from $$p$$ to $$\theta$$, we need to find the new limits of integration. For the lower limit, we have $$p = -2 \Rightarrow -2 = 2\sin\theta \Rightarrow \sin\theta = -1 \Rightarrow \theta = -\frac{\pi}{2}.$$ For the upper limit, we have $$p = 2 \Rightarrow 2 = 2\sin\theta \Rightarrow \sin\theta = 1 \Rightarrow \theta = \frac{\pi}{2}.$$ Therefore, the new limits of integration are $$-\frac{\pi}{2}$$ and $$\frac{\pi}{2}$$.
04

Substitute and Simplify the Integral

Now, we substitute $$p$$ and $$dp$$ into the integral and simplify the expression: $$\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{2\cos\theta d\theta}{\sqrt{4-4\sin^2 \theta }} = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{2\cos\theta d\theta}{\sqrt{4(1-\sin^2 \theta )}} = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{2\cos\theta d\theta}{\sqrt{4\cos^2 \theta }}.$$ The square root simplifies as: $$\sqrt{4\cos^2\theta} = 2\cos\theta.$$ Our integral then becomes $$\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} d\theta.$$
05

Evaluate the Integral

Evaluating the integral, we have $$\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} d\theta = \left[\theta \right]_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) - \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = \pi.$$ Thus, the given integral converges and its value is $$\pi$$.

Evaluate the following integrals. $$\int_{0}^{a} x^{x}(\ln x+1) d x, a>0$$

The reaction of chemical compounds can often be modeled by differential equations. Let \(y(t)\) be the concentration of a substance in reaction for \(t \geq 0\) (typical units of \(y\) are moles/L). The change in the concentration of the substance, under appropriate conditions, is \(\frac{d y}{d t}=-k y^{n},\) where \(k>0\) is a rate constant and the positive integer \(n\) is the order of the reaction. a. Show that for a first-order reaction \((n=1),\) the concentration obeys an exponential decay law. b. Solve the initial value problem for a second-order reaction \((n=2)\) assuming \(y(0)=y_{0}\). c. Graph and compare the concentration for a first-order and second-order reaction with \(k=0.1\) and \(y_{0}=1\).

A total charge of \(Q\) is distributed uniformly on a line segment of length \(2 L\) along the \(y\) -axis (see figure). The \(x\) -component of the electric field at a point \((a, 0)\) is given by $$E_{x}(a)=\frac{k Q a}{2 L} \int_{-L}^{L} \frac{d y}{\left(a^{2}+y^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}$$ where \(k\) is a physical constant and \(a>0\) a. Confirm that \(E_{x}(a)=\frac{k Q}{a \sqrt{a^{2}+L^{2}}}\) b. Letting \(\rho=Q / 2 L\) be the charge density on the line segment, show that if \(L \rightarrow \infty,\) then \(E_{x}(a)=2 k \rho / a\) (See the Guided Project Electric field integrals for a derivation of this and other similar integrals.)

A differential equation and its direction field are given. Sketch a graph of the solution that results with each initial condition. $$\begin{aligned}&y^{\prime}(t)=\frac{t^{2}}{y^{2}+1},\\\&y(0)=-2 \text { and }\\\&y(-2)=0\end{aligned}$$
