- If
∫a−aex^1 dx=k, find∫a0ex^2 dxin terms
ofk.- A man wishes to pull a log over a
9-foot-high garden wall as shown in
Figure 13.7-1. He is pulling at a rate of
2 ft/sec. At what rate is the angle between
the rope and the ground changing when
there are 15 feet of rope between the top of
the wall and the log?

x^2 that is closest to the point (4, 1).- The velocity function of a particle moving
along thex-axis isv(t)=tcos(t^2 +1)
fort≥0.
(a) If att=0, the particle is at the origin,
find the position of the particle att=2.
(b) Is the particle moving to the right or
left att=2?
(c) Find the acceleration of the particle
att=2 and determine if the velocity of
the particle is increasing or decreasing.
Explain why.- (Calculator) Given f(x)=xexand
g(x)=cosx, find:
(a) The area of the region in the first
quadrant bounded by the graphs
f(x),g(x), andx=0.
(b) The volume obtained by revolving the
region in part (a) about thex-axis.13.8 Solutions to Practice Problems
Part A The use of a calculator is not
allowed.- (a) F(0)=

( 3 + 2 )( 4 )= 10
F(5)=
∫ 50f(t)dt=
∫ 30f(t)dt+∫ 53f(t)dt= 10 +(−4)= 6
(b) Since∫ 53f(t)dt≤0,Fis decreasing
on the interval [3, 5].
(c) Att=3,Fhas a maximum value.
(d)F′(x)=f(x),F′(x) is increasing on
(4, 5) which impliesF≤(x)>0.
Thus,Fis concave upward on (4, 5).
