Find the area of the region bounded by the graphs of the given equations. $$ y=\frac{-24}{x^{2}-16}, y=0, x=1, x=3 $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
-12ln(7) + 12ln(15)

Step by step solution

01

Write down the integral

The area A of the region bounded by the graphs can be represented by the definite integral of y with respect to x from x=1 to x=3, that is \[A = \int_{1}^{3} \frac{-24}{x^{2}-16} dx\]
02

Resolve the integral

The given integral can be resolved using the method of substitution. Let \(u = x^{2}-16\), then \(du = 2x\,dx\). After the substitution and dividing by 2 to balance the equation, we get the following integral \[A = -12 \int_{-15}^{-7} \frac{1}{u}\,du\]
03

Evaluate the integral

The integral of \( \frac{1}{u}\) is \( ln|u|\), so we have \[A = -12[ln|-7| - ln|-15|] = -12ln|\frac{-7}{-15}| = -12ln| \frac{7}{15} |\]
04

Simplify the answer

The natural logarithm can be simplified using properties of logarithms, so we get \[ A = -12ln(7) + 12ln(15) \]

Capitalized Cost In Exercises 51 and 52, find the capitalized cost \(C\) of an asset \((a)\) for \(n=5\) years, \((b)\) for \(n=10\) years, and (c) forever. The capitalized cost is given by \(C=C_{0}+\int_{0}^{n} c(t) e^{-r t} d t\) where \(C_{0}\) is the original investment, \(t\) is the time in years, \(r\) is the annual interest rate compounded continuously, and \(c(t)\) is the annual cost of maintenance (measured in dollars). [Hint: For part (c), see Exercises \(35-38 .]\) $$ C_{0}=\$ 650,000, c(t)=25,000, r=10 \% $$

Use the Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson's Rule to approximate the value of the definite integral for the indicated value of \(n\). Compare these results with the exact value of the definite integral. Round your answers to four decimal places. $$ \int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x} d x, n=4 $$

Determine whether the improper integral diverges or converges. Evaluate the integral if it converges. $$ \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{e^{\sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt{x}} d x $$

Use the definite integral below to find the required arc length. If \(f\) has a continuous derivative, then the arc length of \(f\) between the points \((a, f(a))\) and \((b, f(b))\) is \(\int_{b}^{a} \sqrt{1+\left[f^{\prime}(x)\right]^{2}} d x\) Arc Length A fleeing hare leaves its burrow \((0,0)\) and moves due north (up the \(y\) -axis). At the same time, a pursuing lynx leaves from 1 yard east of the burrow \((1,0)\) and always moves toward the fleeing hare (see figure). If the lynx's speed is twice that of the hare's, the equation of the lynx's path is \(y=\frac{1}{3}\left(x^{3 / 2}-3 x^{1 / 2}+2\right)\) Find the distance traveled by the lynx by integrating over the interval \([0,1]\).
