See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to estimate the definite integral:

$\displaystyle \int_1^47\sqrt{\ln(x)}\, dx$

Using the Trapezoidal Rule, Midpoint Rule, and Simpson's Rule with six equal subdivisions.

The trapezoidal rule is given by:

$\displaystyle \int_{a}^bf(x)\, dx\approx\frac{\Delta x}{2}\Big(f(x_0)+2f(x_1)+...+2f(x_{n-1})+f(x_n)\Big)$

Our limits of integration are from x = 1 to x = 4. With six equal subdivisions, each subdivision will measure:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\frac{4-1}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the trapezoidal approximation is:

$\displaystyle =\frac{1/2}{2}\Big(f(1)+2f(1.5)+2f(2)+2f(2.5)+2f(3)+2f(3.5)+2f(4)\Big)$

Evaluate:

$\displaystyle =\frac{1}{4}(7)(\sqrt{\ln(1)}+2\sqrt{\ln(1.5)}+...+2\sqrt{\ln(3.5)}+\sqrt{\ln(4)})\\\\\approx18.139337$

The midpoint rule is given by:

$\displaystyle \int_a^bf(x)\, dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^nf\Big(\frac{x_{i-1}+x_i}{2}\Big)\Delta x$

Thus:

$\displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}\Big(f\Big(\frac{1+1.5}{2}\Big)+f\Big(\frac{1.5+2}{2}\Big)+...+f\Big(\frac{3+3.5}{2}\Big)+f\Big(\frac{3.5+4}{2}\Big)\Big)$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}(7)\Big(f(1.25)+f(1.75)+...+f(3.25)+f(3.75)\Big)\\\\ =\frac{1}{2}(7) (\sqrt{\ln(1.25)}+\sqrt{\ln(1.75)}+...+\sqrt{\ln(3.25)}+\sqrt{\ln(3.75)})\\\\\approx 18.767319$

Simpson's Rule is given by:

$\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x)\, dx\approx\frac{\Delta x}{3}\Big(f(x_0)+4f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+4f(x_3)+...+4f(x_{n-1})+f(x_n)\Big)$

So:

$\displaystyle =\frac{1/2}{3}\Big((f(1)+4f(1.5)+2f(2)+4f(2.5)+...+4f(3.5)+f(4)\Big)$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle =\frac{1}{6}(7)(\sqrt{\ln(1)}+4\sqrt{\ln(1.5)}+2\sqrt{\ln(2)}+4\sqrt{\ln(2.5)}+...+4\sqrt{\ln(3.5)}+\sqrt{\ln(4)})\\\\\approx 18.423834$

Answer from: Quest

i believe the answer is letter c) 8

step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: Quest

part a

answer: a reasonable domain is $0 \le n \le 10$ where n is a real number. so n can be between 0 and 10. both endpoints are included.

work shown:

n is the number of days after the experiment starts. the smallest n can be is n = 0 which means that 0 days have gone by, and we're at the start. to find out how large n should be, then replace f(n) with 16.13 and solve for n. use logarithms to isolate the exponent.

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13 = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13/12 = (1.03)^n

1.34416666666667 = (1.03)^n

(1.03)^n = 1.34416666666667

log[ (1.03)^n ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n*log[ 1.03 ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]/log[ 1.03 ]

n = 10.0062999823929

this rounds to n = 10 which is fairly close but not 100% perfect. so this is the largest n can be.

note: if you plug n = 10 into f(n), you'll get roughly 16.127 which rounds to 16.13 (this comes up again in part c)

=====================================

part b

answer: the y intercept is 12. it represents the starting height of the plant in cm.

work shown:

plug n = 0 into the f(n) function. simplify

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(0) = 12*(1.03)^0

f(0) = 12*(1)

f(0) = 12

on day n = 0, aka the starting point, the height f(n) is 12 cm

=====================================

part c

answer: the average rate of change is approximately 0.43061036458991 (round however you need to). this represents the average growth rate from day n = 3 to day n = 10. so the plant grew roughly 0.43 cm per day during this timespan, assuming you round to 2 decimal places.

work shown:

compute f(3)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(3) = 12*(1.03)^3

f(3) = 13.112724 < we'll use this later

compute f(10)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(10) = 12*(1.03)^10

f(10) = 16.1269965521294 < we'll use this later

now use the formula below with a = 3 and b = 10

aroc = average rate of change

aroc = [ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]

aroc = [ f(10) - f(3) ]/[ 10 - 3 ]

aroc = (16.1269965521294 - 13.112724)/(10 - 3)

aroc = 3.0142725521294/7

aroc = 0.43061036458991

round this however you need to

note: the plant grew approximately 3.01 cm over 7 days, so roughly 0.43 cm per day is the average growth rate (if you were to round to 2 decimal places).
