(a, b, c)

Given the function y = 2x3x2/3 on the interval [2, 6], estimate the definite integral three ways: (a) using the midpoint rule with 4 subintervals, M4, (b) using the trapezoid rule with 4 subintervals, T4, and (c) using Simpson’s rule with 8 subintervals, S8.

answer (a)

 » M4 = Dx(y1 + y3 + y5 + y7) » 1(622.0112454) » 622.011

 

 

answer (b)

 » T4 = Dx/2 (y0 + 2y2 + 2y4 + 2y6 + y8) » 1/2 (1292.062784) » 646.031

 

 

answer (c)

 » S8 = Dx/3 (y0+4y1+2y2+4y3+2y4+4y5+2y6+4y7+y8) » 0.5/3 (3780.107766) » 630.018

 

 

 

[Note that Dx = 0.5 for Simpson’s Rule, since there were twice as many subintervals.]

 

 

(d)

Check your work by comparing (2M4 + T4)/3 to S8. If you have done everything correctly, the two results should match. If they do not match, say so and move on. (Or, if you have time, you may try to correct your work.)

 

 

answer (d)

(2 · 622.011 + 646.031) = 630.018 to 3 decimal places, as claimed ü
[Notice how accurate Simpson’s Rule is. The result agrees to 3 places with the TI-83’s fnInt.]

(24 points) Radio station WSTA operates 24 hours a day with a power consumption of 5 kilowatts. If electricity were priced at a flat 10 cents per kilowatt hour, a day’s worth of power would cost 24 · 5 · $.10 = $12.00. However, Pepco has instituted a “demand pricing” function, a smooth sinusoid. The cost per kilowatt hour, in dollars, is C(t) = .07 + .05 sin(pt/12), where t is time in hours since the start of the day. Compute the cost of operating WSTA for 24 hours, and explain why your method is necessary and appropriate.

 

 

answer 10.

The cost of operating WSTA for a brief sliver of time equals C(t) times 5 times the length of time used, or 5C(t) Dt. Adding these costs produces a Riemann sum, and the limit as Dt ® 0 is
 $8.40 by calc.
The foregoing explains why our method is appropriate. The reason we must use a definite integral is that the cost function C(t) is not constant.
