Exercise

The region bounded by x=y2x=y^2 and x=y+2x=y+2 is described most naturally with horizontal slices. Find its area.

Exercise

Rotate the region under y=xy=\sqrt{x}, 0x40\le x\le4, around the xx-axis. Find the volume.

Exercise

Use cylindrical shells to rotate the region under y=4x2y=4-x^2, 0x20\le x\le2, around the yy-axis.

Exercise

A solid has square cross-sections perpendicular to the xx-axis. The side length is 2x2-x for 0x20\le x\le2. Find the volume.

Exercise

Find the arc length of y=2x+1y=2x+1 on [0,3][0,3].

Exercise

A rod occupies [0,3][0,3] and has density λ(x)=2+x\lambda(x)=2+x kg/m. Find its mass and center of mass.

Exercise

A force F(x)=10+3xF(x)=10+3x newtons moves an object from x=0x=0 to x=4x=4 meters. Find the work.

Exercise

A rectangular tank is 4 m long, 3 m wide, and 2 m deep, and is full of water. Water is pumped to an outlet 1 m above the top. Set up and evaluate the work using water weight density 9800N/m39800\,\mathrm{N/m^3}.

Exercise

A vertical rectangular gate is 2 m wide and extends from the water surface to a depth of 3 m. Find the hydrostatic force using water weight density 9800N/m39800\,\mathrm{N/m^3}.

Exercise

If marginal cost is C(q)=20+0.04qC'(q)=20+0.04q, find the added cost of increasing production from 100 to 200 units.

Exercise

The probability density is p(x)=2xp(x)=2x on [0,1][0,1]. Find P(X1/2)P(X\le1/2) and E[X]E[X].

Exercise

For one problem above, explain how the units of the slice contribution become the units of the final answer. Also give one independent reasonableness check.

After the explanation

Use the section idea

Reading lens

Mixed applications test modeling recognition: commit to a diagram and slice statement before looking for a familiar formula.

Mental model

A complete solution connects context, variable, bounds, slice contribution, integral, computation, units, interpretation, and a reasonableness check.

Decision

Classify the output and geometry first, solve from a blank start, then reveal one worked answer only to diagnose the earliest divergent decision.

Common trap

Reading a key before forming a setup or treating every wrong result as algebra when the real error was a radius, width, density, or bound.

Check yourself

Can you rebuild the setup without the answer open and defend every factor in a sentence?
