1. Find the future value of the continuous money flow if $1000 per year flows at a constant rate
into an account paying 10%, compounded continuously, for 12 yr. Use F V = R T
0 R(t)ek(T !t)dt
2. Find the accumulated present value of an investment over a 6-yr period if there is a continuous
money flow of $2400 per year and the interest rate is 10%, compounded continuously. Use
P V = R T
0 R(t)e!ktdt
3. Find the average of f(x) = 1
2x+1 between x = 1 and x = 4.
4. Find the area bounded by f(x) = !x and g(x) = !x3. Graph the functions and show your
work.
5. Find the positive area bounded by f(x) = !x and g(x) = !x3. Graph the functions and
show your work.
6. Use these data to predict the GDP in the year 2018 if the GDP is increasing exponentially.
in 2011 GDP = 100 billion
in 2014 GDP = 200 billion.
7. Use these data to predict the GDP in the year 2018 if the GDP is increasing linearly.
in 2011 GDP = 100 billion
in 2014 GDP = 200 billion.
8. Chain Rule:
C(q)=0.2q2 + 3q + 900 and q = q(t). Given that at t = 5, dq/dt = 3 and q(5) = 10
find dC/dt at t = 5.
