Evaluating a Definite Integral In Exercises \(55-62\) , evaluate the definite integral. Use a graphing utility to verify your result. $$ \int_{1}^{5} \frac{x}{\sqrt{2 x-1}} d x $$
Even and Odd Functions In Exercises \(69-72,\) evaluate the integral using the properties of even and odd functions as an aid. $$ \int_{-2}^{2} x^{2}\left(x^{2}+1\right) d x $$
Work To determine the size of the motor required to operate a press, a company must know the amount of work done when the press moves an object linearly 5 feet. The variable force to move the object is \(F(x)=100 x \sqrt{125-x^{3}}\) where \(F\) is given in pounds and \(x\) gives the position of the unit in feet. Use Simpson's Rule with \(n=12\) to approximate the work \(W(\text { in foot- pounds) done through one cycle when }\) \(W=\int_{0}^{5} F(x) d x\)
In Exercises 85 and \(86,\) the function $$f(x)=k x^{n}(1-x)^{m}, \quad 0 \leq x \leq 1$$ where \(n>0, m>0,\) and \(k\) is a constant, can be used to represent various probability distributions. If \(k\) is chosen such that $$\int_{0}^{1} f(x) d x=1$$ then the probability that \(x\) will fall between \(a\) and \(b\) \((0 \leq a \leq b \leq 1)\) is $$P_{a, b}=\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x$$ The probability that ore samples taken from a region contain between 100\(a \%\) and 100\(b \%\) iron is $$P_{a, b}=\int_{a}^{b} \frac{1155}{32} x^{3}(1-x)^{3 / 2} d x$$ where \(x\) represents the proportion of iron. (See figure.) What is the probability that a sample will contain between (a) 0\(\%\) and 25\(\%\) iron? \(\quad\) (b) 50\(\%\) and 100\(\%\) iron?
Proof Prove that you can find a polynomial $$p(x)=A x^{2}+B x+C$$ that passes through any three points \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right),\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right),\) and \(\left(x_{3}, y_{3}\right),\) where the \(x_{i}^{\prime}\) s are distinct.
