1. Integrate the following integrands with respect to the variable x:

(a). x(x2 + 6) – 33 (b). x3 – 6ex – 3 √x + 11
5
(c). /x + 6/(1+x) - 41ex (d). x3/2 + x -1/2 + x-5/2

2. Use integration by parts to evaluate the following:

a. ln x dx

b. x2 ln x dx

c. x3 √(1 + x2) dx

3. Evaluate the integrals in question 2. above over the interval x = 1 and x = 3.

4. By means of a suitable substitution evaluate the following:

2x
a. / (x2 + 4) dx b. e√x
/ √x dx

c. x(x2 – 1)5 dx d. e4x dx

5. Using the result in question 4.d. and Integration by Parts evaluate the integral
x3 e4x dx.

6. Since time t = 0, a firm’s rate of cash inflow has been C = 12t – t2 + 160 thousand dollars
per month t.
a. Find the firm’s total cash inflow after t months
b. If the firm’s cash outflow since time t = 0 has been E = t2 + 70 thousands per
month, find the firm’s net cash flow after t months.

7. With t weeks of experience on the job, a worker can produce y = 200 – 100 e –0.3t units of
product per week. Find the worker’s average weekly productivity over his or her
a. first month on the job
b. second month on the job
c. fifth month on the job.
