Answer:
(d) Find the value of k that makes the following antidifferentiation formula true: ∫ 7 5 − 2 x
dx = k ln | 5 − 2 x| + c,
where c is a constant.

(l) Let f (x) = k
x, where k is a constant. Find the value of k such that f (x) = k
x is a probability density function on 0 ≤ x ≤ 4.
Answer:
(m) A random variable x has a probability density function f (x) =
, 0 ≤ x ≤ 5. Find b such that Pr (0 ≤ x ≤ b) = 0.3.
Answer:
(n) Find the expected value of the random variable x whose probability density function is f (x) = 4x−^5 , x ≥ 1.
Answer:

[14] 2. Find the area of the shaded region bounded by y = 8 − x^2 , y = − 2 x and y = − 7 x. The shaded region is given in the following figure.
[12] 4. A continuous stream of income is produced at the rate of 10 + 2t thousand dollars per year at time t, and invested money earns 5% interest.
(a) Write a definite integral that gives the present value of this stream of income over the time from t = 0 to t = 3 years.
(b) Compute the present value described in part (a).
[12] 5. A person deposits $5000 in a bank account and decides to make additional deposits at the rate of B dollars per year, where B is a constant. Suppose that the bank compounds interest continuously at the annual rate of 8% and that the deposits are made continuously into the account.
(a) Set up a differential equation that is satisfied by the amount f (t) in the account at time t.
(b) Determine f (t) (as a function of B).
(c) Determine B if the initial deposit is to double in seven years.
