These are tips for the fifth assignment in the Distance/Online Math 1500 course, but I strongly recommend that you do this assignment as homework even if you are taking the classroom lecture section of the course.  These assignments are very good (and challenging) practice.

Here is a link to the actual assignment, in case you don't have it:

Note that you need to study Lesson 10 (Max/Min Word Problems)  and Lesson 11 (Antiderivatives and Integrals) from my Intro Calculus book to prepare for this assignment.

Don't have my book? You can download a sample containing lessons1 and 2 here:

First, make sure you have read my previous email about finding the domain in Max/Min Word Problems.  Be sure you do state the domain as part of your answer to this question:

This question is similar to my Practise Problems 1 and 2 in Lesson 10 except it is easier because you have been given the Q equation.  Note, being told that x and y are nonnegative means that x and y are both > 0.

Similar to my question 3 in Lesson 10.  Don't forget to include your domain.

This question is similar to my Practise Problem 15 in Lesson 10.  Don't forget to include the domain.

This is just standard antiderivative and indefinite integral stuff like what I am doing in my Lecture Problem 1 in Lesson 11.  Simply use the Antiderivative Formulas given at the start of the lesson.

This question is just like my Lecture Problem 2 in Lesson 11.

This question requires the method I use in Lecture Problem 13 in Lesson 11.  Your question is actually more pleasant than either of my two examples.  I suggest you do this question open book.  Note, you can check your answer by doing the definite integral of x dx from x=0 to x=2.

This question is NOT to be solved using antiderivative formulas! You couldn't solve part (b) that way anyway.  You can solve part (a) that way and you can use that answer as a check, but you will get no credit for that method. 

For part (a), you have to draw a graph of f(x) = x+1 from x=0 to x=4, then find the area between the vertical lines x=0 and x=4, below the graph of f(x) and above the x-axis using geometric methods.  You should notice the shape is a trapezoid, so you can find the area by cutting it into a rectangle and triangle. 

Again, in part (b) , draw the graph of f(x) = square root of (4 - x^2) from x=-2 to x=2 and find the area between the curve and the x-axis.  Hint: the graph is a semicircle.

This is just more standard antiderivative stuff like what I am doing in my Lecture Problem 1 in Lesson 11.  This time they are definite integrals.  Simply use the Antiderivative Formulas given at the start of the lesson.  But then sub in the given endpoints to evaluate the definite integrals.
