Consider the solution of the logistic equation in Example 6. a. From the general solution \(\ln \left|\frac{P}{300-P}\right|=0.1 t+C,\) show that the initial condition \(P(0)=50\) implies that \(C=-\ln 5\). b. Solve for \(P\) and show that \(P=\frac{300}{1+5 e^{-0.1 t}}\).
Another Simpson's Rule formula is \(S(2 n)=\frac{2 M(n)+T(n)}{3},\) for \(n \geq 1 .\) Use this rule to estimate \(\int_{1}^{e} 1 / x d x\) using \(n=10\) subintervals.
Use integration by parts to evaluate the following integrals. $$\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{\ln x}{x^{2}} d x$$
Use the indicated methods to solve the following problems with nonuniform grids. A hot-air balloon is launched from an elevation of 5400 ft above sea level. As it rises, its vertical velocity is computed using a device (called a variometer) that measures the change in atmospheric pressure. The vertical velocities at selected times are shown in the table (with units of \(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{min}\) ). $$\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline t \text { (min) } & 0 & 1 & 1.5 & 3 & 3.5 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Velocity } \\ \text { (ft/min) } \end{array} & 0 & 100 & 120 & 150 & 110 & 90 & 80 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ a. Use the Trapezoid Rule to estimate the elevation of the balloon after five minutes. Remember that the balloon starts at an elevation of \(5400 \mathrm{ft}\) b. Use a right Riemann sum to estimate the elevation of the balloon after five minutes. c. A polynomial that fits the data reasonably well is $$g(t)=3.49 t^{3}-43.21 t^{2}+142.43 t-1.75$$ Estimate the elevation of the balloon after five minutes using this polynomial.
Evaluating an integral without the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Evaluate \(\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \ln (1+\tan x) d x\) using the following steps. a. If \(f\) is integrable on \([0, b],\) use substitution to show that $$ \int_{0}^{b} f(x) d x=\int_{0}^{b / 2}(f(x)+f(b-x)) d x $$ b. Use part (a) and the identity \(\tan (\alpha+\beta)=\frac{\tan \alpha+\tan \beta}{1-\tan \alpha \tan \beta}\) to evaluate \(\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \ln (1+\tan x) d x\) (Source: The College Mathematics Journal 33, 4, Sep 2004).
