Solve all questions.

1. A farmer wants to fence in an area of 10000 square feet in a rectangular field and
then divide it in half with a fence parallel to one of the sides of the rectangle. How
can he do this so as to minimize the cost of the fence?

2. A fence 12 ft tall runs parallel to a tall building at a distance of 5 ft from the building
(Figure 1). What is the length of the shortest ladder that will reach from the ground
over the fence to the wall of the building?

3. Find the dimensions of a rectangle with perimeter 200 m whose area is as large as
possible.

4. Sketch the following functions.

(a) f (x) = cosh (x + 2) (b) f (x) = sinh (x) + 3 (c) f (x) = tanh (x − 1) + 1

5. A solid is obtained by revolving the shaded region (Figure 2) about the specified
line y = 9. Evaluate the integral to find the volume of the solid. Also, sketch the
solid and a typical disk or washer.

6. Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given
√
curves x = 2 y, x = 0, and y = 9 about the y-axis. Sketch the region, the solid,
and a typical disk or washer.

7. The region R enclosed by the curves y = x2 and x = y 2 is rotated about the line
y = −1. Find the volume of the resulting solid.

8. Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume generated by rotating the
region bounded by the curves y = 4x − x2 , and y = x about the y-axis.

9. Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume generated by the region
bounded by the given curves x = 2y 2 and x = y 2 + 1, rotating about y = −2.
