Recall that the substitution \(x=a \sec \theta\) implies either \(x \geq a\) (in which case \(0 \leq \theta<\pi / 2\) and \(\tan \theta \geq 0)\) or \(x \leq-a\) (in which case \(\pi / 2<\theta \leq \pi\) and \(\tan \theta \leq 0\) ). Graph the function \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x \sqrt{x^{2}-36}}\) on its domain. Then find the area of the region \(R_{1}\) bounded by the curve and the \(x\) -axis on \([-12,-12 / \sqrt{3}]\) and the area of the region \(R_{2}\) bounded by the curve and the \(x\) -axis on \([12 / \sqrt{3}, 12] .\) Be sure your results are consistent with the graph.
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 7.2 and an illustration.
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. \(\int_{1}^{e} \ln x d x=1\)
Consider the family of functions \(f(x)=1 / x^{p},\) where \(p\) is a real number. For what values of \(p\) does the integral \(\int_{0}^{1} f(x) d x\) exist? What is its value?
\(\pi<\frac{22}{7}\) 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 \(\pi<\frac{22}{7} ?\)
