Math 122 - Problem Set 3

This problem set consists not only of problems similar to what you’ve seen, but also of unique problems
you may not have seen before. The purpose of the latter is for you to apply the concepts you’ve previously

learned to new, unfamiliar, and usually more interesting situations. In some cases, problems connect ideas

from multiple learning objectives. Write full, clear solutions to the problems below. It is important that the

logic of how you solved these problems is clear. Although the final answer is important, being able to convey
you understand the underlying concepts is more important. The point weight of each problem is indicated

prior to each question. This problem set is graded out of 50 total points.

1. (5 points) Find the area between the circles x2 + y 2 = 2 and (x 1)2 + y 2 = 1.

2. (5 points) If the birth rate of a population is b(t) = 2200e0.0024t people per year and the death rate is

d(t) = 1460e0.018t people per year, find the area between these curves for 0  t  10. What does this
area represent?

3. (5 points) A Bundt cake, well known for having a ringed shape, is formed by revolving around the
p y-axis
the region bounded by the graph of y = sin(x2 1) and the x-axis over the interval 1  x  1 + ⇡.

Find the volume of the cake.

4. (5 points) Find the volume of a solid whose base is a circle of radius r and each cross-section perpen-

dicular to the base is an isosceles triangle with height h.

5. (5 points) A torus is generated when the region inside the circle x2 + y 2 = a2 is rotated about the line

x = b for a < b. Find the volume of the torus.

6. (5 points) Use the integral formula for arc length to show that the shortest distance between two points

is a line.

7. (10 points) Gabriel’s Horn is defined to be the region obtained by rotating the region below the graph

of f (x) = 1/x from x 1 about the x-axis.

1. Show that the horn has finite volume.

2. Use the formula a 2⇡f (x) 1 + [f 0 (x)]2 dx for the surface area of a solid of revolution rotated about

the x-axis to show that the horn has infinite surface area. See § 7.5 for details on how this formula

is derived.

In other words, “Gabriel’s horn can be filled with paint, but it cannot be painted!”

8. (10 points) Experimental measurements of animal tumors indicate that the growth of cancerous tumors

can be modeled by the Gompertz law:

dN

dt
= aN ln(bN ),

where N (t) is proportional to the number of cells in the tumor, and a, b > 0 are parameters. The

predictions of this simple model agree surprisingly well with data on tumor growth, as long as N is not

too small.

1. Use the Gompertz law to solve for N (t) with initial value N (0) = 1.

2. Compute lim N (t), and interpret what this limit means biologically.
