Solving an Equation Find, to three decimal places, the value of \(x\) such that \(e^{-x}=x\) . (Use Newton's Method or the zero or root feature of a graphing utility.)
Exercises 75–82, find the indefinite integral using the formulas from Theorem 5.20. $$ \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x} \sqrt{1+x}} d x $$
Probability The median waiting time (in minutes) for people waiting for service in a convenience store is given by the solution of the equation $$ \int_{0}^{x} 0.3 e^{-0.3 t} d t=\frac{1}{2} $$ What is the median waiting time?
Use a computer algebra system to find the linear approximation \(P_{1}(x)=f(a)+f^{\prime}(a)(x-a)\) and the quadratic approximation \(P_{2}(x)=f(a)+f^{\prime}(a)(x-a)+\frac{1}{2} f^{\prime \prime}(a)(x-a)^{2}\) of the function \(f\) at \(x=a\) . Sketch the graph of the function and its linear and quadratic approximations. \(f(x)=\arccos x, \quad a=0\)
Modeling Data A valve on a storage tank is opened for 4 hours to release a chemical in a manufacturing process. The flow rate \(R\) (in liters per hour) at time \(t\) (in hours) is given in the table. $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline t & {0} & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} \\ \hline R & {425} & {240} & {118} & {71} & {36} \\ \hline\end{array} $$ (a) Use the regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a linear model for the points \((t, \ln R) .\) Write the resulting equation of the form \(\ln R=a t+b\) in exponential form. (b) Use a graphing utility to plot the data and graph the exponential model. (c) Use the definite integral to approximate the number of liters of chemical released during the 4 hours.
