(b) What is the net change in distance over the first 3 seconds?
(c) What is the total distance traveled by the particle during the first 2 seconds? Show the set up AND your
answer.
4. A particle moves along a coordinate line. Its acceleration function is 𝑎 𝑡 6𝑡 22 for 𝑡 0. If 𝑣 0 24
find the velocity at 𝑡 4.
5. A particle’s velocity is given by 𝑣 𝑡 cos 𝑡, where 𝑡 is measured in months, 𝑣 is measured in kilometers per
month, and 𝑠 𝑡 represents the particle’s position.
(a) If 𝑠 10, what is the value of 𝑠 ?
(b) What is the net change in distance over the first 𝜋 months?
(c) What is the total distance traveled by the particle during the first 𝜋 months? Show the set up AND your
answer.
7. Calculator active. Let 𝑅 be the region bounded by the graphs 𝑦 2𝑥 𝑥 and 𝑦 𝑥 as sown in the figure.
If the line 𝑥 𝑘 divides 𝑅 into two regions of equal area, what is the value of 𝑘?

8. Calculator active. A 10,000-liter tank of water is filled to capacity. At time 𝑡 0, water begins to drain out of
the tank at a rate modeled by 𝑟 𝑡 , measured in liters per hour, where 𝑟 is given by the piecewise-defined
function
𝑟 𝑡 for 0 𝑡 6.
a. Find 𝑟 𝑡 𝑑𝑡
b. Explain the meaning of your answer to part a in the context of this problem.
1,290.964 liters have drained out of the tank during the first six hours.
c. Write, but do not solve, an equation involving an integral to find the time 𝐴 when the amount of water in the
tank is 8,000 liters.
It is “minus” because 𝑟 𝑡 represents the rate of water draining from the tank.
Set up the integral(s) that give the area of the region bounded by the given equations. Show the
equivalent set up with respect to 𝒙 as well as with respect to 𝒚.
