The Length of a Curve

Using the curve y=2x^(3/2) +3 (3/2 is the power on x) from x=0 to x=4 : A.) estimate the length of the curve by computing the straight line distance between the endpoints. *I found the answer to be sq root of 272 or approx. 16.4924. Sound correct? B.) Compute exact length of the curve. *I'm using S = The Integral ...continues

Work Done to Pump Water out of a Tank

A tank is in the shape of an inverted cone (pointy at the top) 6 feet high and 8 feet across at the base. The tank is filled to a depth of 3 feet. How much work is done in emptying the tank through a hole at the top? (Weight density of water is 62.4 lb/ft^3). *I found the distance to be 6-y and used the disk method to solve ...continues

Finding a Centroid of a Region

Find the coordinates of the centroid of the region bounded by the curves y=3-x and y=-x^2+2x+3. *I first found m or area, by rho(Integral 0 to 3)[(-x^(2) +2x +3) - (3-x)]dx and the result was 9rho/2. Second, I found Mx, by rho (Integral 0 to 3) [(-x^2 +2x +3)+(3-x)/2][(-x^2 +2x +3)-(3-x)]dx and the result was 54rho/5, ...continues

Work done to pump water out of tank

Would like second opinion or other way to solve problem, hopefully using Disk method - OTA #103642 answered last time. Perhaps OTA #103642 could send me email regarding this formula? Problem - A tank is in the shape of an inverted cone (pointy at the top) 6 feet high and 8 feet across at the base. The tank is filled to a de ...continues

The Convergence of Darbox Sums and Riemann Sums

1. Let k >= 1 be an integer, and define Cn = SIGMA (1/(n+i)) as i=1 to kn (a)Prove that {Cn} converges by showing it is monotonic and bounded. (b)Evaluate LIMIT (Cn) as n approach to the infinity

Real Analysis : Mean Value Theorem

Let f(x) be integrable on [a,b], and let g(x) be nondecreasing and continuously differentiable on [a,b]. Let {p be element of P} be a partition of [a,b], and define U(f,g,p) = SIGMA (Mi(g(the ith term of x) - g(the (i-1)th term of x))) as i=1 to n L(f,g,p) = SIGMA (Ni(g(the ith term of x)-g(the (i-1)th term of x))) as i=1 t ...continues

Approximation of Integrals and Taylor Polynomials

Given ( INTEGRAL ln square(x)dx, as x from n to n+1 ) = ( INTEGRAL ln square (n+x)dx, as x from 0 to 1 ) = ( INTEGRAL [[ln(n+x) - ln(x) + ln(n)]square] dx, as x from 0 to 1 ), (a) Verify that ( LIMIT (n/ln(n)) [INTEGRAL (ln square (x)dx) - (ln square (n))] as n approach to the infinity ) = 1 (b) Compute LIMIT ((n square)/ ...continues

Limitation

Let X(n)=Sum{1/(n+i), i=1->n}, find the limit of X(n) as n tends to infinity

The Slope of the Tangent Line to a Curve

Find the slope of the tangent line to the curve f(x) = 1/sq root of x^2+4 at the point where x=2.

Indefinite Integral

Find the indefinite integral (3-x)/sq root of 9-x^2 dx(dx would be in the numerator). I tried to split this problem apart. First part was: The integral of 3/sq root of 9-x^2 dx and found 3 arcsin x/3 + C, then Second part was: The integral of -x/sq root of 9-x^2 dx and found -3/4 -x + C. I then put them back together to ge ...continues
