The global numbers of personal computers \(x\) (in millions) and Internet users \(y\) (in millions) from 1999 through 2005 are shown in the table. $$ \begin{aligned} &\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Year } & 1999 & 2000 & 2001 & 2002 \\ \hline \text { Personal computers, } x & 394.1 & 465.4 & 526.7 & 575.5 \\ \hline \text { Internet users, } y & 275.5 & 390.3 & 489.9 & 618.4 \\ \hline \end{array}\\\ &\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Year } & 2003 & 2004 & 2005 \\ \hline \text { Personal computers, } x & 636.6 & 776.6 & 808.7 \\ \hline \text { Internet users, } y & 718.8 & 851.8 & 982.5 \\ \hline \end{array} \end{aligned} $$ (a) Use a graphing utility or a spreadsheet to create a scatter plot of the data. (b) Use the regression capabilities of a graphing utility or a spreadsheet to find an appropriate model for the data. (c) Explain why you chose the type of model that you created in part (b).
Use a symbolic integration utility to evaluate the double integral. $$ \int_{1}^{2} \int_{y}^{2 y} \ln (x+y) d x d y $$
Evaluate the double integral. $$ \int_{0}^{2} \int_{3 y^{2}-6 y}^{2 y-y^{2}} 3 y d x d y $$
Plot the points and determine whether the data have positive, negative, or no linear correlation (see figures below). Then use a graphing utility to find the value of \(r\) and confirm your result. The number \(r\) is called the correlation coefficient. It is a measure of how well the model fits the data. Correlation coefficients vary between \(-1\) and 1, and the closer \(|r|\) is to 1, the better the model. $$ (0.5,9),(1,8.5),(1.5,7),(2,5.5),(2.5,5),(3,3.5) $$
Use a double integral to find the volume of the solid bounded by the graphs of the equations. $$ z=x y, z=0, y=0, y=4, x=0, x=1 $$
