  • Calculus help - improper integrals?

    Determine if the improper integrals below are convergent or divergent. For a convergent integral calculate its value.

    a. ∫ dx/cube√x from 2 to ∞

    b. ∫ 3e^(1/2*x) dx from -∞ to 0

    Please help me to understand by explaining the steps you followed to reach your answer.

    Thanks in advance

  • Integration question - Constant revenue?

    I am looking for an answer to this question, and it is not a simple investment calculation. This is supposed to be using indefinite integrals to come up with the answer. So here goes:

    Money is flowing into an investment at a constant rate of R dollars per year. If interest is compounded continuously at 9% per annum, determine R so that the value of the investment after 10 years will be $27000.

    So, all that I know is:

    P(t)=Po*e^i*t

    where P(10) = 27000,

    i = .09

    t = 10

    based on this equation alone, I came up with an answer of $10977.38, but this is not all of the equation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Can you confirm this answer? (Integration)?

    Here is the question:

    A company has determined that its margina revenue from the sale of x units of its product is 4x-3/sqrtx.

    Find the total revenue function, if the revenue from the sale of 16 units of its product is $588.

    What I have is:

    R'(x)= 4x-3/sqrtx

    R(x)=∫R'(x)

    What I came for an answer is:

    R(x)=4*x^2/2-3lnx^(-1/2)+71.84

    Do you get the same result? If not, where am I going wrong? Please explain.

    Thanks,

  • Integration question (Indefinite Integrals)?

    Here's a question for you:

    Find the indefinite integrals:

    ∫x^2*e^-x dx

    I don’t know what to do next. I understand that:

    ∫x^r dx = [x^(r+1)/r+1] + C,

    provided that r ≠ -1, and

    ∫be^(ax) dx = b/a*e^(ax) + C

    Is it possible to integrate by combining the two so that I first isolate ∫x^2, then isolate ∫e^-x? If not, could you please explain why? Also, if you could explain how it should be done, that would be great, too.

    Thanks,

  • How do I do this? (Integration)?

    Ok,

    I'm starting to figure out the integration thing with regular numbers, etc. but how do you integrate natural log equations?

    This is what I have:

    ∫[ln(2x)]^2/2x dx

    I know that

    ∫x^-1 dx= ∫1/x dx = dx/x = ln x + C, x>0 and

    ∫x^-1 dx= ln |x| +C, x<0

    But how do I do it in reverse order? Can anyone help me?

  • Here's a question for you...(Integration)?

    Ok, here's what I've got:

    Find the indefinite integral:

    ∫((t+2)^2)/cuberoot t dx

    What I have so far is:

    = ∫((t+2)(t+2))/(t^1/3) dx

    = ∫(t^2+4t+4)/( t^1/3) dx

    = [t^(2+1)/(2+1) + 2t^(1+1) + 4+C]/(t^(1/3))

    = (t^3+2t^2+4+C)/t^(4/3)

    Am I even close? Please provide me with some help!!

    Thanks!

  • Integration Question?

    Hi,

    I am trying to figure out integration, and I am thoroughly stumped. I understand that integration is just a different term for reverse differentiation, but that's about all I have been able to grasp at this point. Can anyone help with this problem? Please show how you got your answer so that I can try it with another problem or two.

    ∫8x-3/2*√x+3/x^2+2dx

    Thanks in advance.

  • another compounding interest question - continuous?

    I think I almost have this one figured out. I am just trying to isolate Po from the equation.

    How much money must you put into an investment today to yeld a lump sum of $50,000 in 25 years time, if interest is compounded continuously at an apr of 5.25%?

    P(t)=Poe^(i*t)

    where t=25 years, i=.0525, and P(25)=$50,000.

    I have:

    50,000=Poe^(.0525*25)

    0=Poe^(1.3125)-50000

    Now I'm stuck. Do I divide by Po to get it on the right side of the equation? Please help!!!

    Thanks in advance.

  • Applied calculus help please? continuous compounding interest?

    A financial institution advertises that it will triple your money in 11 years. Assuming interest is compounded continuously, what is the annual interest rate?

    What I have for a base equation is:

    P=Poe^i*T

  • Applied Calculus - Please verify my answer?

    Two banks offer different investment opportunities. Bank A offers 8.75% compounded daily, and bank B offers 8.5% compounded continuously. Which is the better investment?Support your answer with appropriate details.

    This is the answer I came up with:

    Assume:

    P=$1

    t=1 year

    compounded daily:

    A=1(1+.0875/365)^365*1

    A=$1.09

    compounded continuously:

    e=lim n=>infinity (1+(1/n))^n

    therefore Bank a offers the better return on the investment in the long term, because as n gets larger without bound, A approaches e.

    Am I even close? Appreciate your input.

  • How to solve this Optimization question?

    I have been struggling with this one.

    A small business uses a minivan to make deliveries. The cost per hour of fuel for the van is C=v^2/600 dollars per hour, where v is the speed in miles per hour. If the driver is paid $6 per hour, find the speed of the van that minimizes the cost of a 100-mile trip. (Assume that there are no costs other than fuel and wages.)
