A certain biochemical compound accumulates in an experimental bioreactor starting at time \(t = 0\) hours. The total mass of the compound in the bioreactor is modeled by the differentiable function \(M\) defined by \(M(t) = 9.6 \arctan(0.25t)\), where \(M(t)\) is measured in grams and \(t\) is measured in hours for \(t \ge 0\). It can be shown that \(M'(t) = \frac{38.4}{16 + t^2}\).

(Note: Your calculator should be in radian mode.)

A. Find the average mass of the compound in the bioreactor from time \(t = 0\) to time \(t = 6\) hours. Show the setup for your calculations.

B. Find the time \(t\) when the instantaneous rate of change of \(M\) equals the average rate of change of \(M\) over the time interval \(0 \le t \le 6\). Show the setup for your calculations.

C. Assume that the compound continues to accumulate according to the given model for all times \(t > 0\). Write a limit expression that describes the end behavior of the rate of change of the mass of the compound in the bioreactor. Evaluate this limit expression.

D. At time \(t = 6\) hours after the process begins, a neutralizing agent begins filtering the compound from the bioreactor. The function \(B\), defined by \(B(t) = M(t) - \int_6^t 0.15 \ln(x^2 + 1)\, dx\), models the mass of the compound in the bioreactor over the time interval \(6 \le t \le 24\). At what time \(t\), for \(6 \le t \le 24\), does \(B\) attain its maximum value? Justify your answer.

解题

Part A
The average mass of the compound over the interval \(0 \le t \le 6\) is given by the average value formula:
$$\text{Average mass} = \frac{1}{6 - 0} \int_0^6 M(t)\, dt = \frac{1}{6} \int_0^6 9.6 \arctan(0.25t)\, dt$$
Evaluating the definite integral using a graphing calculator:
$$\frac{1}{6}(33.97874) = 5.663123$$
From time \(t = 0\) to \(t = 6\) hours, the average mass of the compound in the bioreactor was \(5.663\) grams.

Part B
The average rate of change of \(M\) over the interval \([0, 6]\) is:
$$\frac{M(6) - M(0)}{6 - 0} = \frac{9.6 \arctan(1.5) - 0}{6} = 1.572470$$
To find when the instantaneous rate of change equals the average rate of change, set \(M'(t)\) equal to this value:
$$M'(t) = \frac{38.4}{16 + t^2} = 1.572470$$
Using a calculator to solve for \(t\) on \(0 \le t \le 6\):
$$16 + t^2 = 24.420177 \implies t^2 = 8.420177 \implies t = 2.901754$$
The instantaneous rate of change of \(M\) equals the average rate of change at time \(t = 2.902\) hours.

Part C
The end behavior of the rate of change of the mass is described by the limit as \(t \to \infty\) of \(M'(t)\):
$$\lim_{t \to \infty} M'(t) = \lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{38.4}{16 + t^2} = 0$$

Part D
By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:
$$B'(t) = M'(t) - 0.15 \ln(t^2 + 1) = \frac{38.4}{16 + t^2} - 0.15 \ln(t^2 + 1)$$
Setting \(B'(t) = 0\) on the interval \(6 \le t \le 24\):
$$\frac{38.4}{16 + t^2} = 0.15 \ln(t^2 + 1) \implies t = 7.023547$$
Testing critical points and endpoints on \(6 \le t \le 24\):
- \(B(6) = M(6) = 9.434820\)
- \(B(7.023547) = M(7.023547) - \int_6^{7.023547} 0.15 \ln(x^2 + 1)\, dx \approx 10.117178 - 0.603099 = 9.514079\)
- \(B(24) = M(24) - \int_6^{24} 0.15 \ln(x^2 + 1)\, dx \approx 13.504104 - 15.688267 = -2.184163\)

Alternatively, \(B'(t) > 0\) for \(6 \le t < 7.024\) and \(B'(t) < 0\) for \(7.024 < t \le 24\). Therefore, \(B\) attains its absolute maximum at time \(t = 7.024\) (or \(7.023\)) hours.

Let region \(M\) be bounded by the graphs of the functions \(p(x) = 3 + 2\sin x\) and \(q(x) = e^{0.4x}\) for \(0 \le x \le k\), where \(k\) is the \(x\)-coordinate of the first point of intersection of the two graphs for \(x > 0\).

查看答案详解

解题

A. The intersection occurs where \(p(x) = q(x)\), which gives \(3 + 2\sin x = e^{0.4x}\). Using a graphing calculator, the positive intersection point is \(k = 2.988533\approx 2.989\).

The area of \(M\) is given by:
\[\text{Area} = \int_0^k (p(x) - q(x))\,dx = \int_0^{2.988533} \left(3 + 2\sin x - e^{0.4x}\right)dx \approx 7.180 \text{ (or } 7.179\text{)}.\]

B. The area of an isosceles right triangle with leg length \(b(x) = p(x) - q(x)\) is \(A(x) = \frac{1}{2}(b(x))^2 = \frac{1}{2}(p(x) - q(x))^2\).

The volume of the solid is:
\[\text{Volume} = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^k (p(x) - q(x))^2\,dx = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^{2.988533} \left(3 + 2\sin x - e^{0.4x}\right)^2dx \approx 7.126 \text{ (or } 7.125\text{)}.\]

C. The outer radius is \(R(x) = 5 - q(x)\) and the inner radius is \(r(x) = 5 - p(x)\).

The volume of the solid of revolution is:
\[\text{Volume} = \pi \int_0^k \left((5 - q(x))^2 - (5 - p(x))^2\right)dx\]
(or \(\pi \int_0^{2.989} \left((5 - e^{0.4x})^2 - (2 - 2\sin x)^2\right)dx\)).

D. The vertical distance between the two curves is given by \(D(x) = p(x) - q(x)\) for \(0 \le x \le k\).

\(D'(x) = p'(x) - q'(x) = 2\cos x - 0.4e^{0.4x}\).

Setting \(D'(x) = 0\) gives \(2\cos x - 0.4e^{0.4x} = 0\). Solving on the interval \(0 < x < k\) yields \(x = 1.237372 \approx 1.237\) (or \(1.238\)).

Justification:
- At \(x = 0\), \(D(0) = p(0) - q(0) = 3 - 1 = 2\).
- At \(x = 1.237372\), \(D(1.237372) \approx 4.890 - 1.640 = 3.250\).
- At \(x = k\), \(D(k) = 0\).

Alternatively, \(D'(x) > 0\) for \(0 < x < 1.237\) and \(D'(x) < 0\) for \(1.237 < x < k\). Because \(D'(x)\) changes from positive to negative at \(x = 1.237\) and this is the only critical point on the interval, the vertical distance attains its absolute maximum at \(x = 1.237\) (or \(1.238\)).

评分标准

Part A (2 points):
- Point 1 (P1): Correct integrand and limits in a definite integral setup \(\int_0^k (p(x) - q(x))\,dx\).
- Point 2 (P2): Correct numerical answer of \(7.180\) (or \(7.179\)) with \(k = 2.989\) (or \(2.988\)).

解题

Part A:
Using the average rate of change of \( R \) on \([3, 7]\):
\[ R'(5) \approx \frac{R(7) - R(3)}{7 - 3} = \frac{30 - 18}{4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3 \text{ gallons per hour per hour (or } \text{gal/hr}^2\text{)} \]

Part B:
Because \( R \) is differentiable, \( R \) is continuous on the interval \([0, 12]\).
Since \( R(0) = 12 \) and \( R(12) = 38 \), and \( 12 < 25 < 38 \) (or since \( R(3) = 18 < 25 < 30 = R(7) \)), by the Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT), there must exist at least one value \( c \) in \( (0, 12) \) such that \( R(c) = 25 \).

Part C:
Using a trapezoidal sum with the subintervals \([0, 3]\), \([3, 7]\), and \([7, 12]\):
\[ \int_0^{12} R(t)\,dt \approx \frac{R(0) + R(3)}{2}(3 - 0) + \frac{R(3) + R(7)}{2}(7 - 3) + \frac{R(7) + R(12)}{2}(12 - 7) \]
\[ = \frac{12 + 18}{2}(3) + \frac{18 + 30}{2}(4) + \frac{30 + 38}{2}(5) \]
\[ = 15(3) + 24(4) + 34(5) = 45 + 96 + 170 = 311 \]

Part D:
The total amount of water drained from time \( t = 0 \) to \( t = 6 \) is given by:
\[ \int_0^6 D(t)\,dt = \int_0^6 \left( \frac{1}{4}t^2 - 2t + 20 \right) dt \]
\[ = \left[ \frac{1}{12}t^3 - t^2 + 20t \right]_0^6 \]
\[ = \left( \frac{1}{12}(6)^3 - (6)^2 + 20(6) \right) - \left( 0 - 0 + 0 \right) \]
\[ = \left( \frac{216}{12} - 36 + 120 \right) = 18 - 36 + 120 = 102 \text{ gallons} \]

The continuous function \( f \) is defined on the closed interval \(-4 \le x \le 8\). The graph of \( f \), consisting of one semicircle and three line segments, is described as follows:
- For \(-4 \le x \le 0\), the graph is a semicircle of radius \(2\) centered at \((-2, 0)\) lying below the \(x\)-axis.
- For \(0 \le x \le 3\), the graph is a line segment from \((0, 0)\) to \((3, 3)\).
- For \(3 \le x \le 6\), the graph is a line segment from \((3, 3)\) to \((6, -3)\).
- For \(6 \le x \le 8\), the graph is a line segment from \((6, -3)\) to \((8, 1)\).

Let \( h \) be the function defined by \( h(x) = \int_{0}^{x} f(t)\,dt \).

A. Find \( h'(4) \) and \( h''(4) \).

B. Find all values of \( x \) in the open interval \(-4 < x < 8\) at which the graph of \( h \) has a point of inflection. Give a reason for your answer.

C. Find the exact values of \( h(-4) \) and \( h(6) \). Label your answers.

D. Find the value of \( x \) at which \( h \) attains an absolute minimum on the closed interval \(-4 \le x \le 8\). Justify your answer.
查看答案详解

解题

A. By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, \( h'(x) = f(x) \) and \( h''(x) = f'(x) \).
For \( 3 \le x \le 6 \), the graph of \( f \) is a line segment with slope \( m = \frac{-3 - 3}{6 - 3} = -2 \).
The equation of the line segment is \( f(x) = 3 - 2(x - 3) = 9 - 2x \).
Therefore, \( h'(4) = f(4) = 9 - 2(4) = 1 \).
Since the slope of the line segment is \(-2\), \( h''(4) = f'(4) = -2 \).

B. The graph of \( h \) has a point of inflection where \( h''(x) = f'(x) \) changes sign, which corresponds to where \( f \) changes from increasing to decreasing or from decreasing to increasing.
- On \((-4, -2)\), \( f \) is decreasing, and on \((-2, 3)\), \( f \) is increasing, so \( f \) changes from decreasing to increasing at \( x = -2 \).
- On \((-2, 3)\), \( f \) is increasing, and on \((3, 6)\), \( f \) is decreasing, so \( f \) changes from increasing to decreasing at \( x = 3 \).
- On \((3, 6)\), \( f \) is decreasing, and on \((6, 8)\), \( f \) is increasing, so \( f \) changes from decreasing to increasing at \( x = 6 \).
Thus, the points of inflection of the graph of \( h \) occur at \( x = -2 \), \( x = 3 \), and \( x = 6 \).

C. \( h(-4) = \int_{0}^{-4} f(t)\,dt = -\int_{-4}^{0} f(t)\,dt \).
The region between the graph of \( f \) and the \( x \)-axis from \( x = -4 \) to \( x = 0 \) is a semicircle of radius \( 2 \) located below the \( x \)-axis. Its signed area is \(-\frac{1}{2}\pi(2^2) = -2\pi\).
Thus, \( h(-4) = -(-2\pi) = 2\pi \).

\( h(6) = \int_{0}^{6} f(t)\,dt = \int_{0}^{3} f(t)\,dt + \int_{3}^{4.5} f(t)\,dt + \int_{4.5}^{6} f(t)\,dt \).
- From \( t = 0 \) to \( t = 3 \), the region is a triangle with base \( 3 \) and height \( 3 \), so the integral is \( \frac{1}{2}(3)(3) = \frac{9}{2} \).
- From \( t = 3 \) to \( t = 4.5 \), the region is a triangle above the axis with base \( 1.5 \) and height \( 3 \), area \( \frac{1}{2}(1.5)(3) = \frac{9}{4} \).
- From \( t = 4.5 \) to \( t = 6 \), the region is a triangle below the axis with base \( 1.5 \) and height \( 3 \), signed area \( -\frac{9}{4} \).
Thus, \( h(6) = \frac{9}{2} + \frac{9}{4} - \frac{9}{4} = \frac{9}{2} \).

D. The function \( h \) is continuous on \([-4, 8]\), so its absolute minimum occurs at an endpoint or a critical point where \( h'(x) = f(x) = 0 \).
In the interval \([-4, 8]\), \( f(x) = 0 \) at \( x = -4, 0, 4.5, 7.5 \).
Evaluating \( h(x) \) at candidates:
- \( h(-4) = 2\pi \approx 6.283 \)
- \( h(0) = 0 \)
- \( h(4.5) = \frac{9}{2} + \frac{9}{4} = \frac{27}{4} = 6.75 \)
- \( h(7.5) = h(6) - \frac{1}{2}(1.5)(3) = \frac{9}{2} - \frac{9}{4} = \frac{9}{4} = 2.25 \)
- \( h(8) = h(7.5) + \frac{1}{2}(0.5)(1) = \frac{9}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \)

Comparing values, the absolute minimum value of \( h \) on \([-4, 8]\) is \( 0 \), which occurs at \( x = 0 \).

- Point 1 (P1): Considers \( h'(x) = f(x) \) and finds \( h'(4) = 1 \).

D. Particle \(B\) is at position \(x = -5\) at time \(t = 0\). Find the position of particle \(B\) at time \(t = 2\). Show the work that leads to your answer.
查看答案详解

解题

Part A:
The velocity of particle \(A\) is the derivative of its position function:
\[v_A(t) = x_A'(t) = \frac{d}{dt}\left[(3 - t)e^{2t}\right] = (-1)e^{2t} + (3 - t)(2e^{2t}) = (5 - 2t)e^{2t}\]
At \(t = 2\):
\[v_A(2) = (5 - 2(2))e^{2(2)} = (1)e^4 = e^4\]

Part B:
To determine the direction of motion, find when each velocity is positive or negative.
For particle \(A\):
\[v_A(t) = (5 - 2t)e^{2t} = 0 \implies t = \frac{5}{2}\]
Since \(e^{2t} > 0\) for all \(t\):
- \(v_A(t) > 0\) (moving right) for \(0 < t < \frac{5}{2}\)
- \(v_A(t) < 0\) (moving left) for \(\frac{5}{2} < t < 4\)

For particle \(B\):
\[v_B(t) = 6t^2(t^3 - 8) = 0 \implies t = 0 \text{ or } t = 2\]
On the interval \(0 < t < 4\):
- \(v_B(t) < 0\) (moving left) for \(0 < t < 2\)
- \(v_B(t) > 0\) (moving right) for \(2 < t < 4\)

Comparing the signs:
- For \(0 < t < 2\): \(v_A(t) > 0\) and \(v_B(t) < 0\) (opposite directions)
- For \(2 < t < \frac{5}{2}\): \(v_A(t) > 0\) and \(v_B(t) > 0\) (same direction)
- For \(\frac{5}{2} < t < 4\): \(v_A(t) < 0\) and \(v_B(t) > 0\) (opposite directions)

Therefore, particles \(A\) and \(B\) are moving in opposite directions on the open intervals \(0 < t < 2\) and \(\frac{5}{2} < t < 4\).

Part C:
The acceleration of particle \(B\) is given by:
\[a_B(t) = v_B'(t) = \frac{d}{dt}\left[6t^5 - 48t^2\right] = 30t^4 - 96t\]
At \(t = 1\):
\[a_B(1) = 30(1)^4 - 96(1) = -66\]
\[v_B(1) = 6(1)^2(1^3 - 8) = 6(-7) = -42\]
Because \(v_B(1) < 0\) and \(a_B(1) < 0\), the velocity and acceleration have the same sign at \(t = 1\). Therefore, the speed of particle \(B\) is increasing at \(t = 1\).

Part D:
The position of particle \(B\) at \(t = 2\) is:
\[x_B(2) = x_B(0) + \int_0^2 v_B(t)\,dt = -5 + \int_0^2 6t^2(t^3 - 8)\,dt\]
Using the antiderivative:
\[\int_0^2 (6t^5 - 48t^2)\,dt = \left[ t^6 - 16t^3 \right]_0^2 = (2^6 - 16(2^3)) - 0 = 64 - 128 = -64\]
\[x_B(2) = -5 + (-64) = -69\]

解题

### Part A
Differentiate both sides of the equation \( 2y^3 - 3y^2 - 12y + x^2 = 3 \) implicitly with respect to \( x \):
\[ \frac{d}{dx}\left(2y^3 - 3y^2 - 12y + x^2\right) = \frac{d}{dx}(3) \]
\[ 6y^2\frac{dy}{dx} - 6y\frac{dy}{dx} - 12\frac{dy}{dx} + 2x = 0 \]
\[ (6y^2 - 6y - 12)\frac{dy}{dx} = -2x \]
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-2x}{6y^2 - 6y - 12} = \frac{-x}{3(y^2 - y - 2)} \]

---

### Part B
Evaluate the derivative at the point \( (4, 1) \):
\[ \left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right|_{(4,1)} = \frac{-4}{3(1^2 - 1 - 2)} = \frac{-4}{3(-2)} = \frac{2}{3} \]

The equation of the tangent line at \( (4, 1) \) is:
\[ y - 1 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 4) \implies y = 1 + \frac{2}{3}(x - 4) \]

Approximating the \( y \)-coordinate when \( x = 4.3 \):
\[ y \approx 1 + \frac{2}{3}(4.3 - 4) = 1 + \frac{2}{3}(0.3) = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2 \]

---

### Part C
For \( x > 0 \), the tangent line to curve \( C \) is vertical when the denominator of \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) is equal to \( 0 \) and the numerator is non-zero:
\[ 3(y^2 - y - 2) = 0 \]
\[ 3(y - 2)(y + 1) = 0 \implies y = 2 \text{ or } y = -1 \]

Since \( y > 0 \), it follows that \( y = 2 \).

---

### Part D
Differentiate both sides of \( x^2 y + 2\ln y = 16 \) implicitly with respect to \( t \):
\[ \frac{d}{dt}\left(x^2 y + 2\ln y\right) = \frac{d}{dt}(16) \]
\[ 2x\frac{dx}{dt}y + x^2\frac{dy}{dt} + \frac{2}{y}\frac{dy}{dt} = 0 \]

Substitute \( x = 4 \), \( y = 1 \), and \( \frac{dx}{dt} = -3 \):
\[ 2(4)(-3)(1) + (4)^2\frac{dy}{dt} + \frac{2}{1}\frac{dy}{dt} = 0 \]
\[ -24 + 16\frac{dy}{dt} + 2\frac{dy}{dt} = 0 \]
\[ 18\frac{dy}{dt} = 24 \implies \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{24}{18} = \frac{4}{3} \]
