Answer: Solution: SOLUTION The average value of a function f on the interval [ a , b ] is f ave = 1 b - a Z b a f ( x ) dx . So the average value of f ( x ) = cos ( 16 x ) on the interval [ 0 , π / 2 ] is f ave = 1 ( π / 2 - 0 ) Z π / 2 0 cos ( 16 x ) dx . And we have f ave = 1 ( π / 2 - 0 ) Z π / 2 0 cos ( 16 x ) dx = 2 π h sin ( 16 x ) 16 i π / 2 0 = 2 π h sin ( 8 π ) - sin ( 0 ) 16 i = 2 π 0 - 0 16 = 0 Answer(s) submitted: 0 (correct) Correct Answers: 0 20. (1 point) Find the average value of the function f ( t ) = - 2 te - t 2 for the interval [ 0 , 8 ] . Answer: Solution: SOLUTION The average value of a function f on the interval [ a , b ] is f ave = 1 b - a Z b a f ( t ) dt . So the average value of f ( t ) = - 2 te - t 2 on the interval [ 0 , 8 ] is f ave = 1 8 - 0 Z 8 0 - 2 te - t 2 dt . We use a substitution to evaluate the integral Z 8 0 - 2 te - t 2 dt . We let u = - t 2 , so that du = - 2 t dt . Changing the limits to match the new variable, the lower limit of x = 0 corresponds to u = 0, and the upper limit of x = 8 cor- responds to u = - 64. Therefore Z 8 0 - 2 te - t 2 dt = Z - 64 0 e u du = e u - 64 0 = e - 64 - 1 = - ( 1 - e - 64 ) And the average value of f is f ave = 1 8 - 0 Z 8 0 - 2 te - t 2 dt = - 1 8 1 - e - 64 Answer(s) submitted: -(1/8)(1-eˆ-64) (correct) Correct Answers: [eˆ(-8ˆ2)-1]/8 21. (1 point) In a certain city the temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) t hours after 9am was approximated by the function T ( t ) = 30 + 5sin π t 12 Determine the temperature at 9 am. Determine the temperature at 3 pm. Find the average temperature during the period from 9 am to 9 pm. Solution: SOLUTION The temperature at 9 am is T ( 0 ) = 30. The temperature at 3 pm is T ( 6 ) = 30 + 5sin ( π 2 ) = 30 + 5 = 35. The average temperature during the period from 9 am to 9 pm is 1 12 Z 12 0 30 + 5sin π t 12 dt To evaluate this integral we perform the substitution u = π t 12 . Then du = π 12 dt , so 1 12 Z 12 0 30 + 5sin π t 12 dt = 1 12 Z π 0 ( 30 + 5sin u ) 12 π du = 1 π Z π 0 ( 30 + 5sin u ) du = 1 π 30 u - 5cos u π 0 = 1 π [ 30 π - 5cos ( π ) - ( - 5cos0 )] = 1 π [ 30 π + 2 ( 5 )] = 30 + 10 π = 33 . 1831 F Answer(s) submitted: 30 35 (score 0.666666686534882) Correct Answers: 30 35 33.1830988618379 6
