(a) distance = \int_{0}^{10} 2 \mathrm{t} \mathrm{dt}=\left.\mathrm{t}^{2}\right|_{0} ^{10}=100 feet.

(b) Find T so 50=\int_{0}^{\mathrm{T}} 2 \mathrm{t} \mathrm{dt}=\left.\mathrm{t}^{2}\right|_{0} ^{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{T}^{2} . \mathrm{T}=\sqrt{50} \approx 7.07 seconds.


21.

(a) distance = \int_{0}^{10} 4 \mathrm{t}^{3} \mathrm{dt}=\left.\mathrm{t}^{4}\right|_{0} ^{10}=10,000 feet.

(b) 5000=\int_{0}^{T} 4 t^{3} \mathrm{dt}=\mathrm{T}^{4} \cdot \mathrm{T}=\sqrt[4]{5000} \approx 8.41 \text { seconds }.


23.

(a) velocity = 75-3 t^{2}=0 when t = 5 seconds. (b) distance = \int_{0}^{5} 75-3 t^{2} \mathrm{dt}=75 \mathrm{t}-\left.\mathrm{t}^{3}\right|_{0} ^{5}=250 feet.

(b) 125=\int_{0}^{T} 75-3 \mathrm{t}^{2} \mathrm{dt}=75 \mathrm{t}-\left.\mathrm{t}^{3}\right|_{0} ^{\mathrm{T}}=75 \mathrm{~T}-\mathrm{T}^{3} \text { so } \mathrm{T}^{3}-75 \mathrm{~T}+125=0 (solve using Newton's method or by examining the graph of y=x^{3}-75 x+125) and \mathrm{T} \approx 1.74 seconds.


25. The total area is \int_{0}^{3} x^{2} d x=\left.\frac{1}{3} x^{3}\right|_{0} ^{3}=9.

(a) Find T so \frac{1}{2} \cdot 9=\frac{9}{2}=\int_{0}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{x}^{2} \mathrm{dx}=\left.\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{x}^{3}\right|_{0} ^{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{~T}^{3} \cdot \mathrm{T}=\sqrt[3]{27 / 2} \approx 2.38.

(b) Find T so \frac{1}{3} \cdot 9=3=\int_{0}^{T} \mathrm{x}^{2} \mathrm{dx}=\left.\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{x}^{3}\right|_{0} ^{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{~T}^{3} \cdot \mathrm{T}=\sqrt[3]{9} \approx 2.08 .

Then find T so \frac{2}{3} \cdot 9=6=\int_{0}^{\mathrm{T}} \mathrm{x}^{2} \mathrm{dx}=\left.\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{x}^{3}\right|_{0} ^{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{~T}^{3} \cdot \mathrm{T}=\sqrt[3]{18} \approx 2.62.
