Use integration by substitution to solve the integral below:

\(\int4e^{-7x}dx\)

Solution:

We will use substitution \(u=e^x\). \(u'=e^x\).

\(\int4e^{-7x}dx=\int4u^{-8}du=\frac{-4u^{-7}}{7}+c=\frac{-4e^{-7x}}{7}+c\)

Biologists are treating a pond contaminated with bacteria. The level of contamination is changing at a rate of \(\frac{dN}{dt}=\frac{-3150}{t^4}-220\) bacteria per cubic centimeter per day, where t is the number of days since treatment began. Find a function N(t) to estimate the level of contamination if the level after 1 day was 6530 bacteria per cubic centimeter.

Solution:

\(N(t)=\int-3150/t^4-220dt=3150/(3t^3)-220t+c\)

\(N(1)=6530=3150/3-220+c\), or \(c=5260\)

\(N(t)=3150/(3t^3)-220t+5260\)

6530-3150/3-220

Find the total area of the red rectangles in the figure below, where the equation of the line is \(f(x)=2x-9\).

Solution:

\(\int_{4.5}^{8.5} 2x-9dx=x^2-9x=8.5^2-8.5*9-4.5^2+4.5*9=16\)

8.5^2-8.5*9-4.5^2+4.5*9

Find the area of the region bounded by the graphs of the given equations.

\(y=x^2-2x-2\)

\(y=x+2\)

Solution:

Let us first plot our functions.

\(x^2-2x-2=0\)

Points were the first function crosses x axis.

\(x_1=(2+\sqrt{2^2+4*2})/2=2.732\)

\(x_2=(2-\sqrt{2^2+4*2})/2=-0.732\)

## [1] 2.732051
## [1] -0.7320508

\(x^2-2x-2=x+2\)

\(x^2-3x-4=0\)

Points were two functions cross each other.

\(x_1=(3+\sqrt{3^2+4*4})/2=4\)

\(x_2=(3-\sqrt{3^2+4*4})/2=-1\)

Areas under the curves are:

\(\int_{-1}^{-0.732} x^2-2x-2dx=(1/3)x^3-x^2-2x=0.131\)

\(\int_{-0.732}^{2.732} x^2-2x-2dx=(1/3)x^3-x^2-2x=6.928\)

\(\int_{2.732}^{4} x^2-2x-2dx=(1/3)x^3-x^2-2x=3.464\)

\(\int_{-1}^4 x+2dx=x^2/2+2x=17.5\)

A beauty supply store expects to sell 110 flat irons during the next year. It costs $3.75 to store one flat iron for one year. There is a fixed cost of $8.25 for each order. Find the lot size and the number of orders per year that will minimize inventory costs.

Solution:

\(f(x)=8.25x+(110/x)3.75\), where x is number of orders, 0<x<111

\(f'(x)=8.25-(110/x^2)3.75=0\)

\(x=\sqrt{110*3.75/8.75}=6.9\)

Use integration by parts to solve the integral below

\(\int ln(9x)x^6dx\)

Solution:

\(u=x^7\); \(u'=7x^6\); \(v=ln(9x)/7\)

\(\int ln(9x)x^6dx=\int vdu=vu-\int udv=x^7 ln(9x)/7-\int x^7dln(9x)/7=x^7ln(9x)/7-\int x^6/7dx=x^7ln(9x)/7-x^7/49+c\)

Answer: \(x^7ln(9x)/7-x^7/49+c\)

Determine whether \(f(x)\) is a probability density function on the interval \([1,e^6]\). If not, determine the value of the definite integral.

\(f(x)=\frac{1}{6x}\)

Solution:

\(\int_1^{e^6} 1/6xdx=lnx/6=6/6=1\), as integral of our function is equal to 1 on interval \([1,e^6]\), \(f(x)\) is a probability density function.
