 Problem 1 

Divide the interval  $[0,\pi ]$  into four subintervals of equal length   ${\frac {\pi }{4}}$  and compute the right-endpoint Riemann sum of  $y=\sin(x).$

 Problem 2 

Compute the following integrals:

(a)   $\int x^{2}\sin(x^{3})~dx$

(b)   $\int _{-{\frac {\pi }{4}}}^{\frac {\pi }{4}}\cos ^{2}(x)\sin(x)~dx$

 Problem 3 

For a fish that starts life with a length of 1cm and has a maximum length of 30cm, the von Bertalanffy growth model predicts that the growth rate is  $29e^{-t}$  cm/year where  $t$  is the age of the fish. What is the average length of the fish over its first five years?

 Problem 4 

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by  $y={\sqrt {\sin x}},~0\leq x\leq \pi ,$  and  $y=0$  about the  $x-$axis. Sketch the graph of the region and a typical disk element.

 Problem 5 

Evaluate the following integrals.

(a)   $\int x\sin x~dx$

(b)   $\int {\frac {1}{(x-3)(x-2)}}~dx$
