Chapter 4: Problem 44

Find the average value of the function over the given interval and all values of \(x\) in the interval for which the function equals its average value. $$ f(x)=\frac{4\left(x^{2}+1\right)}{x^{2}}, \quad[1,3] $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The average value of the function over the given interval is \(2 - 2 \log 3\). Now, by equating this value to the function and simplifying, we can find the specific values of \(x\) in the interval [1, 3] for which the function equals its average value. This part will need some algebraic manipulation and possibly the use of a numerical method.

Step by step solution

01

Compute the average value of function f(x)

The average value of \( f(x) \) over the interval \([a, b]\) is given by the formula: \[ \textup{Average value} = \frac{1}{b - a} \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx \] Therefore, the average value of the given function \(f(x) = \frac{4\left(x^{2}+1\right)}{x^{2}} \) over the interval \([1,3]\) is computed as follows: \[ \textup{Average value} = \frac{1}{3 - 1} \int_{1}^{3} \frac{4\left(x^{2}+1\right)}{x^{2}} dx = \frac{1}{2} \left[\frac{4x}{x^{2}} + 4\log |x|\right]_1^3 = \frac{1}{2}[(8 - 4\log |1|) - (4 - 4\log |3|)] = 2 - 2 \log 3 \]
02

Find values of x for which f(x) equals its average value

To find values of \(x\) for which \(f(x)\) equals its average value, we should equate \(f(x)\) to the computed average value and solve for \(x\): \[ \frac{4\left(x^{2}+1\right)}{x^{2}} = 2 - 2 \log 3 \] Simplify and solve the above equation for \(x\) and only consider values in the interval [1, 3]. This step involves some algebraic manipulations and possibly the use of a numerical method to find the roots.

Find the limit. \(\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \operatorname{sech} x\)

(a) integrate to find \(F\) as a function of \(x\) and (b) demonstrate the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus by differentiating the result in part (a). $$ F(x)=\int_{-1}^{x} e^{t} d t $$

In Exercises \(73-78,\) use the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find \(F^{\prime}(x)\). $$ F(x)=\int_{-2}^{x}\left(t^{2}-2 t\right) d t $$

Find \(F^{\prime}(x)\). $$ F(x)=\int_{0}^{x^{2}} \sin \theta^{2} d \theta $$

Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. If \(f\) is continuous on \([a, b]\), then \(f\) is integrable on \([a, b]\).
