an elephant eats about 2500 pounds of food in 10 days. About how muck food does an elephant eat in 1000 days

1 answer:

2500/10=250
250 represents how much the elephant can eat in one day. Since they want to know how much the elephant can eat in 1000 days you would multiply 250 and 1000 which leaves you with 250,000 pounds of food.

The elephant can eat 250,000 pounds of food in 10 days. :)

Calculus 3 help please.

I assume each path $C$ is oriented positively/counterclockwise.

(a) Parameterize $C$ by

$\begin{cases} x(t) = 4\cos(t) \\ y(t) = 4\sin(t)\end{cases} \implies \begin{cases} x'(t) = -4\sin(t) \\ y'(t) = 4\cos(t) \end{cases}$

with $-\frac\pi2\le t\le\frac\pi2$ . Then the line element is

$ds = \sqrt{x'(t)^2 + y'(t)^2} \, dt = \sqrt{16(\sin^2(t)+\cos^2(t))} \, dt = 4\,dt$

and the integral reduces to

$\displaystyle \int_C xy^4 \, ds = \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} (4\cos(t)) (4\sin(t))^4 (4\,dt) = 4^6 \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \cos(t) \sin^4(t) \, dt$

The integrand is symmetric about $t=0$ , so

$\displaystyle 4^6 \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \cos(t) \sin^4(t) \, dt = 2^{13} \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos(t) \sin^4(t) \,dt$

Substitute $u=\sin(t)$ and $du=\cos(t)\,dt$ . Then we get

$\displaystyle 2^{13} \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos(t) \sin^4(t) \, dt = 2^{13} \int_0^1 u^4 \, du = \frac{2^{13}}5 (1^5 - 0^5) = \boxed{\frac{8192}5}$

(b) Parameterize $C$ by

$\begin{cases} x(t) = 2(1-t) + 5t = 3t - 2 \\ y(t) = 0(1-t) + 4t = 4t \end{cases} \implies \begin{cases} x'(t) = 3 \\ y'(t) = 4 \end{cases}$

with $0\le t\le1$ . Then

$ds = \sqrt{3^2+4^2} \, dt = 5\,dt$

and

$\displaystyle \int_C x e^y \, ds = \int_0^1 (3t-2) e^{4t} (5\,dt) = 5 \int_0^1 (3t - 2) e^{4t} \, dt$

Integrate by parts with

$u = 3t-2 \implies du = 3\,dt \\\\ dv = e^{4t} \, dt \implies v = \frac14 e^{4t}$

$\displaystyle \int u\,dv = uv - \int v\,du$

$\implies \displaystyle 5 \int_0^1 (3t-2) e^{4t} \,dt = \frac54 (3t-2) e^{4t} \bigg|_{t=0}^{t=1} - \frac{15}4 \int_0^1 e^{4t} \,dt \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac54 (e^4 + 2) - \frac{15}{16} e^{4t} \bigg|_{t=0}^{t=1} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \frac54 (e^4 + 2) - \frac{15}{16} (e^4 - 1) = \boxed{\frac{5e^4 + 55}{16}}$

$\begin{cases} x(t) = 3(1-t)+t = -2t+3 \\ y(t) = (1-t)+2t = t+1 \\ z(t) = 2(1-t)+5t = 3t+2 \end{cases} \implies \begin{cases} x'(t) = -2 \\ y'(t) = 1 \\ z'(t) = 3 \end{cases}$

with $0\le t\le1$ . Then

$ds = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + 1^2 + 3^2} \, dt = \sqrt{14} \, dt$

and

$\displaystyle \int_C y^2 z \, ds = \int_0^1 (t+1)^2 (3t+2) \left(\sqrt{14}\,ds\right) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \sqrt{14} \int_0^1 \left(3t^3 + 8t^2 + 7t + 2\right) \, dt \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \sqrt{14} \left(\frac34 t^4 + \frac83 t^3 + \frac72 t^2 + 2t\right) \bigg|_{t=0}^{t=1} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \sqrt{14} \left(\frac34 + \frac83 + \frac72 + 2\right) = \boxed{\frac{107\sqrt{14}}{12}}$
