Approximating the displacement Suppose the velocity in m/s of an objectmoving along a line is given by the function v = t2, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 8. Approximate the displacement of the object by dividing the time interval [0, 8] into n subintervals of equal length. On each subinterval, approximate the velocity with a constant equal to the value of v evaluated at the midpoint of the subinterval.Solve by dividing [0, 8] into n = 2 subintervals: [0, 4] and [4, 8].

Decay of Litter Litter such as leaves falls to the forest floor, where the action of insects and bacteria initiates the decay process. Let A be the amount of litter present, in grams per square meter, as a function of time t in years. If the litter falls at a constant rate of L grams per square meter per year, and if it decays at a constant proportional rate of k per year, then the limiting value of A is R=L/k. For this exercise and the next, we suppose that at time t=0, the forest floor is clear of litter. a. If D is the difference between the limiting value and A, so that D=RA, then D is an exponential function of time. Find the initial value of D in terms of R. b. The yearly decay factor for D is ek. Find a formula for D in term of R and k. Reminder:(ab)c=abc. c. Explain why A=RRekt.

Divide the interval [1, 7] into n = 3 subintervals, [1, 3],[3, 5], and [5, 7]. On each subinterval, assume the objectmoves at a constant velocity equal to v evaluated at the midpointof the subinterval, and use these approximations to estimatethe displacement of the object on [1, 7]b. Repeat part (a) for n = 6 subintervals

Pollution from a factory is entering a lake. The rate of concentration of the pollutant at time t is given by P ' ( t ) =175 t 1/2 , where t is the number of years since the factory started introducing pollutants into the lake. Ecologists estimate that the lake can accept a level of pollution of 4850 units before all fish life in the lake ends. Can the factory operate for 5 years without killing all the fish in the lake? Set up the definite integral that gives the total pollutant concentration in the lake after 5 years.
A small island is 5 miles from the nearest point P on the straight shoreline of a large lake. If a woman on the island can row a boat 3 miles per hour and can walk 4 miles per hour, where should the boat be landed in order to arrive at a town 11 miles down the shore from P in the least time?
