The cycloid is the curve traced by a point on the rim of a rolling wheel. Imagine a wire shaped like an inverted cycloid (see figure). A bead sliding down this wire without friction has some remarkable properties. Among all wire shapes, the cycloid is the shape that produces the fastest descent time (see the Guided Project The amazing cycloid for more about the brachistochrone property). It can be shown that the descent time between any two points \(0 \leq a
Approximate the following integrals using Simpson's Rule. Experiment with values of \(n\) to ensure that the error is less than \(10^{-3}\). \(\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{4 \cos x}{5-4 \cos x} d x=\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)
Imagine that today you deposit \(\$ B\) in a savings account that earns interest at a rate of \(p \%\) per year compounded continuously (Section 6.9). The goal is to draw an income of \(\$ I\) per year from the account forever. The amount of money that must be deposited is \(B=I \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-n} d t,\) where \(r=p / 100 .\) Suppose you find an account that earns \(12 \%\) interest annually and you wish to have an income from the account of \(\$ 5000\) per year. How much must you deposit today?
Compute \(\int_{0}^{1} \ln x d x\) using integration by parts. Then explain why \(-\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x} d x\) (an easier integral) gives the same result.
Many methods needed Show that \(\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\sqrt{x} \ln x}{(1+x)^{2}} d x=\pi\) in the following steps. a. Integrate by parts with \(u=\sqrt{x} \ln x\) b. Change variables by letting \(y=1 / x\) c. Show that \(\int_{0}^{1} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} d x=-\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} d x\) (and that both integrals converge). Conclude that \(\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\ln x}{\sqrt{x}(1+x)} d x-0\) d. Evaluate the remaining integral using the change of variables \(z=\sqrt{x}\)
