Accepted Answer

$$F(b) - F(a)$$

Question 5

A management service found that maintenance costs increase at a rate of $$M'(x) = 90x^2$ + 5,000. $$What definite integral represents the total maintenance cost from the end of year 2 to the end of year 7?

Accepted Answer

$$\$$int_2$$^7 (90x^2$ + 5,000)\,dx$$

Question 6

Evaluate $$\$$int_0$$^1 (2x + 4)\,dx$$ using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Accepted Answer

$$[x^2$ + 4x]_0^1$ = (1 + 4) - (0 + 0) = 5$$

Question 7

Which of the following best describes the relationship between the area under the marginal cost curve and the change in total cost?

Accepted Answer

The area under the marginal cost curve from $$x = a to$$ $$x = b$$ equals the change in total cost from $$x = a to$$ $$x = b.$$

Question 8

Find the average value of $$f(x) = 6x^2$ - 2x$$ over the interval $$[-3, 2].$$

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{1}{2 - (-3)} \int_{-3}^2 (6x^2$ - 2x)\,dx$$

Question 9

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{1}{35 - 25} \int_{25}^{35} 10e$$^{0.05x}$$\,dx$$

Question 10

Which substitution is appropriate for evaluating $$\$$int_0$$^1 \frac{1}{2x + 4}\,dx$$?

Accepted Answer

Let $$u = 2x + 4$$, then $$du = 2dx$$

Question 13

Which of the following is NOT a correct application of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?

Accepted Answer

$$\int_a^b f(x)\,dx = F(a) + F(b)$$ where $$F'(x) = f(x)$$

Question 14

If $$C(x) is a $$cost function and $$C'(x) is $$its marginal cost, what does $$\$$int_5$$^{10} C'(x)\,dx$$ compute?

Accepted Answer
