The growth rate of a tumor satisfies dV
dt = 0.2Ve–0.1t, where t is the time in months and V is
the volume in cubic millimeters. If the initial volume is 1.86 millimeters, find V as a
function of t.
Solve the differential equation dy
dx =x3y if y> 0 and y= 2 when x= 0.
Find the average value of the function y=f(x) =x2+ 3 on the interval –2, 5 . Use your
graphing calculator to graph both y=f(x) =x2+ 3 and y=
the average value of f(x) that you found on the same set of axes. Estimate the value of x
when these two curves intersect.
Either find the value of

(x+7)3dx or show that it diverges.
Determine the value of the constant k so that

(x+4)2dx = 1.
The population N of a certain city follows the law of exponential growth given by N=N0
ekt where N0 and k are constants and t is the number of years past 1965. In 1965 the
population was 10,000 and in 1985 it was 30,000. What is the expected population in 2005?
Suppose that the population of a city in 1992 was 52,400 and in 1996 was 55,300. If the
exponential law of growth is assumed, what is the expected population in 2007?
The marginal cost for producing x thousand pounds of cat food is given by C‘(x) = (lnx)2, x
1. Find the cost function C(x).
