Practice Exam B

Exercise

Find the area enclosed by y=x+2y=x+2 and y=x2y=x^2.

Exercise

Rotate the region under y=1x2y=1-x^2, 0x10\le x\le1, around the xx-axis. Find the volume.

Exercise

Rotate the same region around the yy-axis using cylindrical shells.

Exercise

A solid has semicircular cross-sections perpendicular to the xx-axis. The diameter at xx is 2x2\sqrt{x} for 0x40\le x\le4. Find the volume.

Exercise

Find the surface area generated by rotating y=xy=x, 0x10\le x\le1, around the xx-axis.

Exercise

A rod occupies [0,1][0,1] and has density λ(x)=1+x2\lambda(x)=1+x^2. Find its mass and center of mass.

Exercise

A spring has constant k=200N/mk=200\,\mathrm{N/m}. Find the work required to stretch it from 0.10 m to 0.30 m beyond equilibrium.

Exercise

A vertical cylindrical tank has radius 1 m and height 2 m and is full of water. Pump the water to an outlet 1 m above the top. Set up and evaluate the work.

Exercise

A triangular gate has its top edge at the water surface, width 4 m at the surface, and vertex 3 m below the surface. Find the hydrostatic force.

Exercise

If C(q)=15+0.02qC'(q)=15+0.02q and C(0)=2000C(0)=2000, find C(300)C(300).

Exercise

The density p(x)=3x2p(x)=3x^2 is defined on [0,1][0,1]. Verify normalization and find E[X]E[X].

Exercise

For the region under y=1x2y=1-x^2 on [0,1][0,1], explain why shells are natural about the yy-axis while disks are natural about the xx-axis.

Exercise

Critique this statement: "Once an integral is written, units and geometry no longer matter." Give at least two concrete reasons it is false.

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?
