Compute the following volumes of revolution of the following function. You may use computer or calculator to plot the graph (e.g. https://www.desmos.com/calculator)
  1. Compute the following integrals.
    1.   `int_{0}^{1} 3/(2x+6)dx =` Enter a numerical value with more than 4 significant digits.
    2.   `int_{-6//3}^{6//3} 7/sqrt{6 - 3x} dx =` Enter a numerical value with more than 4 significant digits.
    3.   \(\displaystyle\int (2x+3)^{-3/5} dx =\)`+C`
      *Enter `x^{-a//b}` as x^(-a/b).
    4.   `int dx/(cos^2(7x)) =` `+C`
      *Hint: `1/{cos theta} = sec theta`.
    5.   `int sin x sqrt{cos^{7}x}\ dx =``+C`
      * Enter `cos^{a//b}x` as cos(x)^(a/b).
    6.   `int dx/(x ln(5x)) =``+C`
    7.   `int x e^{-8x}dx=``+C`
      *Enter `e^x` as exp(x).
    8.   `int x^{9}cos(2x^{5})dx =``+C`


  2. Compute the area surrounded by `y = x^{2.8}` (blue) and `y = x^{1//2.5}` (red) ` =`


  3. Waste water is flowing into a tailings pond at the rate of `r(t) = 4(1+t)^{-1.3}`.
    1. Find the total volume `V(t)` of the water in the tailings pond at time `t`, given that `V(0)= 4`.
      ` V(t) = `
    2. After a long time what will be the volume of water? I.e., `V(\infty) = `
      *Hint: `infty+`constant `=infty`,  \(1/\infty = 0\)

  4. The accelerometer on board a dump truck recorded its vertical acceleration while unloading dirt; \[ a(t) = 4e^{-t/2}\cos(3t). \] Find its vertical velocity `v(t)` if `v(0) = 0`. [Hint: `a={dv}/{dt}`]
    `v(t) = `

  5. You are designing an open pit whose horizontal cross-section is square with each side equal to \(\displaystyle L(y) = \frac{55}{\sqrt{1+y/5}}\)[m] at depth `y` [m]. If the deepest part of the pit is `y=15` [m], find the total volume of dirt that needs to be removed.
    Volume of dirt = [m3]

  6. A mineral deposit was found to have the shape of a solid of revolution produced by rotating \[ \frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{25} = 1, ~~~-4\le x \le 4~~\text{and}~~-5\le y \le 5\] about the `y`-axis. Find its volume. [Hint: it is an ellipse centered at the origin.]
    Volume =
