A particle is moved along the x-axis by a force that measures 10/(1+x)^2 pounds at a point x feet from the origin. Find the work (in ft-lb) done in moving the particle from the origin to a distance of 9 feet.

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.
