Set up and evaluate the definite integral that gives the area of the region bounded by the graph of the function and the tangent line to the graph at the given point. $$ y=x^{3}-2 x, \quad(-1,1) $$
The area of the region bounded by the graphs of \(y=x^{3}\) and \(y=x\) cannot be found by the single integral \(\int_{-1}^{1}\left(x^{3}-x\right) d x\). Explain why this is so. Use symmetry to write a single integral that does represent the area.
Use the integration capabilities of a graphing utility to approximate the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the equations about the \(x\) -axis. $$ y=\sqrt{2 x}, \quad y=x^{2} $$
The chief financial officer of a company reports that profits for the past fiscal year were \(\$ 893,000\). The officer predicts that profits for the next 5 years will grow at a continuous annual rate somewhere between \(3 \frac{1}{2} \%\) and \(5 \%\). Estimate the cumulative difference in total profit over the 5 years based on the predicted range of growth rates.
Determine which value best approximates the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the equations about the \(x\) -axis. (Make your selection on the basis of a sketch of the solid and not by performing any calculations.) \(y=\arctan x, \quad y=0, \quad x=0, \quad x=1\) (a) 10 (b) \(\frac{3}{4}\) (c) 5 (d) -6 (e) 15
