Quantities that have magnitude and direction but not position. Some examples of vectors are velocity, displacement, acceleration, and force. They are sometimes called Euclidean or spatial vectors.
A small company of science writers found that its rate of profit (in thousands of dollars) after t years of operation is given by P'(t) = (5t + 15) (t² + 6t+9) ³.
(a) Find the total profit in the first three years.
(b) Find the profit in the sixth year of operation.
(c) What is happening to the annual profit over the long run?
(a) The total profit in the first three years is $
(Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)
Find the area between the curves.
x= -2, x = 7, y=2x² +3, y=0
Set up the integral (or integrals) needed to compute this area. Use the smallest possible number
of integrals. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
A.

S [ ] dx
The area between the curves is
(Simplify your answer.)
The rate at which a substance grows is given by R'(x) = 105e0.3x, where x is the time (in days).
What is the total accumulated growth during the first 2.5 days?
Set up the definite integral that determines the accumulated growth during the first 2.5 days.
2.5
Growth = (105e0.3x) dx
0
(Type exact answers in terms of e.)
Evaluate the definite integral.
Growth=
(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to one decimal place as needed.)
