True or false? (Assume all functions f and g are continuous over their domains.)

1. If f(x)<0,f(x)<0 for all x, then the right-hand rule underestimates the integral abf(x). Use a graph to justify your answer.

Solution

False

2.  abf(x)2dx=abf(x)dxabf(x)dx

3.  If f(x)g(x) for all x[a,b], then abf(x)abg(x).

Solution

True

4.  All continuous functions have an antiderivative.

Evaluate the Riemann sums L4 and R4 for the following functions over the specified interval. Compare your answer with the exact answer, when possible, or use a calculator to determine the answer.

5.  y=3x22x+1 over [1,1]

Solution

L4=5.25,R4=3.25, exact answer: 4

6.  y=x+1x over [1,4]

Evaluate the following integrals.

7.  11(x32x2+4x)dx

Solution

43

8.  043t1+6t2dt

Find the antiderivative using substitution.

9.  dx(x+4)3

Solution

12(x+4)2+C

Find the derivative.

10.  ddx1x34t2dt

11.  ddx1ln(x)(4t+et)dt

Solution

4lnxx+1

The following problems consider the historic average cost per gigabyte of RAM on a computer.

Year 5-Year Change ($)
1980 0
1985 -5,468,750
1990 -755,495
1995 -73,005
2000 -29,768
2005 -918
2010 -177

12.  If the average cost per gigabyte of RAM in 2010 is $12, find the average cost per gigabyte of RAM in 1980.

Solution

$6,328,113

13.  The average cost per gigabyte of RAM can be approximated by the function C(t)=8,500,000(0.65)t, where t is measured in years since 1980, and C is cost in US$. Find the average cost per gigabyte of RAM for 1980 to 2010.

14.  Find the average cost of 1GB RAM for 2005 to 2010.

Solution

$73.36

15.  The velocity of a bullet from a rifle can be approximated by v(t)=6400t26505t+2686, where t is seconds after the shot and v is the velocity measured in feet per second. This equation only models the velocity for the first half-second after the shot: 0t0.5. What is the total distance the bullet travels in 0.5 sec?

16.  What is the average velocity of the bullet for the first half-second?

Solution

1911712ft/sec,or1593ft/sec
