Concept explainers
(a) Consider The statement “If Shakespeare didn’t write Hamlet then someone else did.” Explain why this statement is true.
(b) Consider the statement “If Shakespeare hadn’t written Hamlet, then someone else would have.” Explain why this statement should be false in any reasonable logic.
(c) If we let s represent “Shakespeare wrote Hamlet” and e represent “someone else wrote Hamlet,” then the logic of this chapter leads us to represent either the statement of part (a) or part (b) as ~s → e. Discuss the issue of how this statement could be true in part (a) but false in part (b). Source: Formal Logic: Its Scope and Limit.

- 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.

- Pollution from a factory is entering a lake. The rate of concentration of the pollutant at time t is 5 given by P'(t) = 126t², where t is the number of years since the factory started introducing pollutants into the lake. Ecologists estimate that the lake can accept a total level of pollution of 600 units before all the fish life in the lake ends. Can the factory operate for 2 years without killing all the fish in the lake? Set up the integral that would determine the pollution level after 2 years. 2 5 126t 2 dt Can the factory operate for 2 years without killing all the fish in the lake? Thee factory can operate for 2 years without killing all the fish in the lake because the value of the integral is , which is less than 600.
