6.2, #4. |x| is non-negative, so ò-11 |x| dx
is the area of two triangles: the first has sides on the lines
y = -x, x = -1, y = 0; the second has sides on the lines
y = x, x = 1, y = 0. Clearly ò-11 |x| dx = 1
6.2, #5. a) [1/( Ö{2p})]ò31 e-[(x2)/ 2]dx = [1/( Ö{2p})]ò30 e-[(x2)/ 2]dx -
[1/( Ö{2p})]ò10 e-[(x2)/ 2]dx = 0.4987 - 0.3413 = 0.1574.
b) [1/( Ö{2p})]ò3-2 e-[(x2)/ 2]dx = [1/( Ö{2p})]ò0-2 e-[(x2)/ 2]dx + [1/( Ö{2p})]ò30 e-[(x2)/ 2]dx
= [1/( Ö{2p})]ò20 e-[(x2)/ 2]dx + [1/( Ö{2p})]ò30 e-[(x2)/ 2]dx = 0.4772 + 0.4987 = 0.9759.
6.3, #2. F¢(x) = f(x) is negative on [0,1] and positive on
[1,¥),
so F(x) is decreasing on (0,1) and increasing on (1,¥).
F¢¢(x) = f¢(x) = 1 is always positive, F(x) is concave up on
[0,¥).
6.3, #3. F¢(x) = f(x) is positive on [0,¥),
so F(x) is increasing on [1,¥).
F¢¢(x) = f¢(x) is -1 on [0,1) and 1 on (1,¥). So F(x)
is concave-down on (0,1) and concave-up
(1,¥).
6.3, #6 F¢(x) = f(x) > 0 for x > 0 so F(x) is increasing. F¢(x) = f(x) is also increasing so the graph of y = F(x) is concave up.
6.3, #11. The cork is oscillating relative to the sea floor. Its position above the sea floor is the signed area bounded by the velocity graph. So at point B the cork is at its crest, at point D the cork is at its trough. At points A and C the cork is halfway between its crest and its trough. The acceleration is zero at points A and C, where the tangent line to the velocity graph is horizontal. The function giving the position of the cork above the sea floor has form -cost+C for some constant C.
