Question 6

Suppose the marginal profit for selling $$x$$ units is $$P'(x) = \sqrt{x} - 6. $$What does the definite integral $$\$$int_0$$^{60} (\sqrt{x} - 6) dx$$ represent in a business context?

Accepted Answer

The total profit from selling 60 units.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

$$\ln(4) - \ln(1) = \ln(4)$$, representing the total profit from 1,000 to 4,000 miles.

Question 8

Which of the following is the correct application of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus for a continuous function $$f$$ with antiderivative $$F$$ over $$[a, b]$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\int_a^b f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)$$

Accepted Answer

$$1$$

Question 10

A company’s weekly revenue (in thousands of dollars) is modeled by $$R(x) = 0.05x^4$ - 1.2x^3$ + 9.6x^2$ - 28.6x + 38.3$$, where $$x is $$the number of weeks since the start of the year. What does the moving average $$R_{av}(x) = \frac{1}{3} \int_{x-3}^x R(t) dt$$ represent?

Accepted Answer

The average weekly revenue over the most recent 3-week period ending at week $$x.$$

Question 11

Evaluate $$\int (3x^2$ + 2x - 5) dx.$$

Accepted Answer

$$x^3$$ + $$x^2 - 5x + C$

Question 12

Which substitution would you use to evaluate $$\int x e$$^{x^2}$$ dx$$?

The area between the curves $$f(x)$$ and $$g(x)$$ from $$x = a to$$ $$x = b.$$

Question 15

Evaluate $$\$$int_0$$^2 (3x + 2) dx$$ using the geometric interpretation (area under the line).

Accepted Answer

$$10$$

Question 16

Which of the following is a correct substitution for evaluating $$\int \frac{2x}{x^2$ + 1} dx$$?

Accepted Answer

Let $$u = x^2$ + 1$$, so $$du = 2x dx$$

Question 17
