URGENT MATH HELP: Differntial Equations and Applications of Intergration

2. A culture starts with 200 bacteria and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After 3 hours there are 3600 bacteria. Find the rate of growth after 4 hours.

3. Find the Area of the region bound by f(x)=2-x^2 and g(x)=x^2 by first simplifying the integral based upon whether the integrand is an even or an odd function. I know how to find even and odd functions but how do you simplify in terms of integrals?

4. Set up an integral that gives the area of the region bounded by x=y^2-3 and y=x/2.
My answer is evaluating the integral from -3 to 6 for the function x=y^2-3 and subtracting the integral for the second function (y=x/2) evaluated from 0 to 6. Am I on the right track?

Any help at all would be much appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

so

Integrate both sides yeilds now we can use the condition to find what c is

so

And now exponentiate with base e to get



Notice that if we plug in x=1, e get y=+3, so we can remove the absolute value condition
