Single Variable Calculus, Chapter 5, 5.3, Section 5.3, Problem 6

Find $\displaystyle g'(x)$ of $\displaystyle g(x) = \int^x_0 (1 + \sqrt{t}) dt$

a.) Using 1st Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

When $g(x) = \int^x_a f(t) dt, g'(x) = f(x)$

Let $x = t$ to $f(t)$, so we have

$g'(x) = 1 + \sqrt{x}$

b.) Evaluate the integral using 2nd Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

$\displaystyle \int^b_a f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)$ where $f$ is any anti-derivative of $f$. Such that $F' = f$


$
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}

& \frac{d}{dx} \left[ g(x) = \int^x_0 (1 + \sqrt{t}) dt = F(x) - F(0) \right] \frac{d}{dx}
&& \text{By differentiating both sides}
\\
\\
& g'(x) = F'(x) - F'(0), \text{ So}
\\
\\
& g'(x) = f(x) - f(0)
&& \text{Since } \displaystyle \int^a_a \text{ of any function is so $f(0) = 0$, then}
\\
\\
& g'(x) = 1 + \sqrt{x}

\end{aligned}
\end{equation}

This differential equation can be solved by the method of separating variables. Multiply both sides by dt and divide both sides of the equation by L^2 . This will bring all terms depending on t to the right side and all terms depending on L to the left side: (dL)/L^2 = kln(t)dt Now both sides can be integrated. On the left side, we have an integral of a power function: int (dL)/L^2 = int L^(-2) dL = -1L^(-1) = -1/L (The constant of integration can be omitted for now.) On the right side, the integral of ln(t) equals int ln(t)dt = tln(t) - t (This can be verified by taking the derivative using the product rule and the fact that (ln(t))' = 1/t : (tln(t) - t)' = ln(t) + t/t - 1 = ln(t)) So the after the integration the equation becomes -1/L = k(tln(t) - t) + C The constant of integration C is added to the right side here. Since the initial condition is given, L(1) = -1, C can be found now: for t = 1, ln(t) = ln(1) = 0, and -1/(-1) = k(1*0 - 1) + C = -k + C 1 = -k + C, so from here...

In what ways might RFID technology be used to serve customers better? What problems might arise? Do you think that the technology might be valuable when implanted in animals or people?

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It is a type of wireless technology and basically has three components to it: a tag, a reader, and a computer system. The tag consists of a microchip and radio antenna. The microchip in the tag contains essential information about a product or item. To transmit this information to a reader, the tag uses radio signals. After picking up the signals, the reader delivers the information to a computer system. From the computer system, companies can easily track the kinds of products consumers like to buy. This allows companies to position advertisements, sales, and product placements in stores according to their customer's preferences. Also, using RFID technology increases productivity: it is much easier to use, is more accurate, and less error-prone than traditional bar-coding. Thus, increased productivity leads to greater profits for companies. As for consumers, the benefits of RFID technology are numerous. For example, it minimizes wait...

Single Variable Calculus, Chapter 7, 7.4-2, Section 7.4-2, Problem 52

Find the volume of the region under the curve $y = 10^{-x}$ from $x = 0$ to $x = 1$ that is rotated about the $x$-axis. By using vertical strips, notice that if you slice the figure, you'll get a cross section with radius $10^{-x}$, thus, the cross sectional area is $A = \pi (10^{-x})^2$. Hence, the volume is $ \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} V =& \int^1_0 A(x) dx \\ \\ V =& \int^1_0 \pi (10^{-x})^2 dx \\ \\ V =& \int^1_0 \pi \left( \frac{1}{10 x} \right)^2 dx \\ \\ V =& \pi \int^1_0 10^{-2x} dx \end{aligned} \end{equation} $ Let $u = -2x$, then $du = -2 dx$, so $\displaystyle dx = \frac{-du}{2}$. When $x = 0, u = 0$ and when $x = 1, u = -2$. Therefore, $ \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} V =& \pi \int^{-2}_0 10^u \cdot \frac{-du}{2} \\ \\ V =& \frac{- \pi}{2} \int^{-2}_0 10^u du \\ \\ V =& \frac{- \pi}{2} \left[ \frac{10^u}{\ln 10} \right]^{-2}_0 \\ \\ V =& \frac{- \pi}{2} \left[ \frac{10^{-2}}{\ln 10} - \frac{10^0}{\ln 10} \right] \\ \\ V =&...
