Find the area between the curve y = 8 + 2x - x^2 and the line y = 8 - 2x.

First sketch the curve and the line, noting down where they intersect each axis.area under y = 8 + 2x - x2 is given by the integral between 0 and 4 of (8 + 2x - x2) dx.area under lin...

The rate of growth of a population of micro-organisms is modelled by the equation: dP/dt = 3t^2+6t, where P is the population size at time t hours. Given that P=100 at t=1, find P in terms of t.

First, we integrate the equation with respect to t to find an equation for P. dP/dt = 3t2 + 6t Then, P= integral (3t2 + 6t) dt Integrating gives P= t3+3t2+c, c ...
