Velocity in a Resisting Medium The velocity \(v\) of an object falling through a resisting medium such as air or water is given by $$v=\frac{32}{k}\left(1-e^{-k t}+\frac{v_{0} k e^{-k t}}{32}\right)$$ where \(v_{0}\) is the initial velocity, \(t\) is the time in seconds, and \(k\) is the resistance constant of the medium. Use L'Hopital's Rule to find the formula for the velocity of a falling body in a vacuum by fixing \(v_{0}\) and \(t\) and letting \(k\) approach zero. (Assume that the downward direction is positive.)
Extended Mean Value Theorem In Exercises \(91-94\) , apply the Extended Mean Value Theorem to the functions \(f\) and \(g\) on the given interval. Find all values \(c\) in the interval \((a, b)\) such that $$\frac{f^{\prime}(c)}{g^{\prime}(c)}=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{g(b)-g(a)}$$ $$ f(x)=\frac{1}{x}, \quad g(x)=x^{2}-4 \quad[1,2] $$
Surface Area Find the area of the surface formed by revolving the graph of \(y=2 e^{-x}\) on the interval \([0, \infty)\) about the \(x\) -axis.
Evaluating an Improper Integral In Exercises \(33-48\) determine whether the improper integral diverges or converges. Evaluate the integral if it converges, and check your results with the results obtained by using the integration capabilities of a graphing utility. $$ \int_{0}^{8} \frac{3}{\sqrt{8-x}} d x $$
Exploration Consider the integral $$\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{4}{1+(\tan x)^{n}} d x$$ where \(n\) is a positive integer. (a) Is the integral improper? Explain. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the integrand for \(n=2,4\) \(8,\) and \(12 .\) (c) Use the graphs to approximate the integral as \(n \rightarrow \infty\) . (d) Use a computer algebra system to evaluate the integral for the values of \(n\) in part (b). Make a conjecture about the value of the integral for any positive integer \(n .\) Compare your results with your answer in part (c).
