Determine whether the improper integral diverges or converges. Evaluate the integral if it converges. $$ \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{e^{\sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{x}} d x $$
MAKE A DECISION: SCHOLARSHIP FUND You want to start a scholarship fund at your alma mater. You plan to give one \(\$ 18,000\) scholarship annually beginning one year from now and you have at most \(\$ 400,000\) to start the fund. You also want the scholarship to be given out indefinitely. Assuming an annual interest rate of \(5 \%\) compounded continuously, do you have enough money for the scholarship fund?
Prove that Simpson's Rule is exact when used to approximate the integral of a cubic polynomial function, and demonstrate the result for \(\int_{0}^{1} x^{3} d x, n=2\).
Revenue The revenue (in dollars per year) for a new product is modeled by \(R=10,000\left[1-\frac{1}{\left(1+0.1 t^{2}\right)^{1 / 2}}\right]\) where \(t\) is the time in years. Estimate the total revenue from sales of the product over its first 2 years on the market.
Lumber Use The table shows the amounts of lumber used for residential upkeep and improvements (in billions of board-feet per year) for the years 1997 through \(2005 .\) (Source: U.S. Forest Service) \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline Year & 1997 & 1998 & 1999 & 2000 & 2001 \\ \hline Amount & \(15.1\) & \(14.7\) & \(15.1\) & \(16.4\) & \(17.0\) \\ \hline \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|} \hline Year & 2002 & 2003 & 2004 & 2005 \\ \hline Amount & \(17.8\) & \(18.3\) & \(20.0\) & \(20.6\) \\ \hline \end{tabular} (a) Use Simpson's Rule to estimate the average number of board-feet (in billions) used per year over the time period. (b) A model for the data is $$ L=6.613+0.93 t+2095.7 e^{-t}, \quad 7 \leq t \leq 15 $$ where \(L\) is the amount of lumber used and \(t\) is the year, with \(t=7\) corresponding to 1997 . Use integration to find the average number of board- feet (in billions) used per year over the time period. (c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b).
