III. A bluebook initially buried 1 meter underground suddenly got possessed and is floating in IMath
on a vertical path. The bluebook’s acceleration is given by a(t) = 6t − 6 m/s2 , and it has an
initial velocity of 3 m/s. When will it hit the ground? (4 points)
IV. Let R be the region bounded by the graphs of y = −x − 1, y = x3 + 1, the horizontal line y = 3,
and vertical line x = 1 as shown below.
y=3 (1, 3)
(−4, 3)
(1, 2)
R
y = −x − 1
y = x3 + 1
(−1, 0)
Total: 40 points
If you submit your work for the problem set 4, your final grade for the problem sets is
You may choose not to submit so you have one less thing to worry about during the holidays. Regardless
of your choice, still answer this problem set if you want to make bawi in the last long exam.
Hints:
1. Express |4−2x| as a piecewise function and use a property of definite integrals to solve the
problem as a sum of 2 definite integrals.
2. Solve first the indefinite integral using Substitution Rule. Then solve the definite integral
using the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
3. Expand the integrand as a sum of 3 terms. You may express the given as a sum of 3 inte-
grals or just integrate each term. Use reciprocal identities and Substitution Rule.
4. Use Substitution Rule, manipulate the equation involving u, and then use Laws of Expo-
nents to express everything in the integrand in terms of variable u.
5. The denominator is 2 degrees higher than the numerator so: Use completing the square
and Substitution Rule. The result involves an inverse trigonometric function.
6. The denominator is 1 degree higher than the numerator so: Use Substitution Rule, do
some magic in the numerator of the integrand by inserting some terms, then express as
a sum of 2 integrals. Use the Substitution on one of the integrals while the other integral
is solved using the case where the denominator is 2 degrees higher than the numerator.
II. Use the theorem first to find F ′ (x). Use a property of definite integrals for item 2.
III. The term “initial value” means that a value occured at time t = 0. Use integration to find
the velocity and position functions v(t) and s(t). Use the given initial values to determine the
exact values for the constants of integration when solving for v(t) and s(t). The position function
determines the height of the bluebook at any time t. Recall a familiar binomial expansion.
