Hello. I have just uploded onto Photobucket 16 calculus practice problems, all of which will be of similar content to my eventual final exam. Now, an answer to these questions would be nice, but is not necessary. Instead, I am concerned with and interested in THE METHOD as to how one could arrive to the correct answer, as well as an EXPLANATION as to why each step needs to be performed in relation to the ones that follow. Anybody who can break down and explain the contents of these problems to me in a SIMPLISTIC way would just be amazing in my book. So thank you very much should you decide to help enlighten me, as I appreciate this more then the words in this post could even begin to convey!

Question #15: http://www.i138.photobucket.com/albums/q271/Link3324/math15.jpg

By the way, This is NOT for any kind of required assignment. It is a guide to work from and to understand before the actual test. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!

Clark Elementary School has decided to buy a new copying machine. One of the selling points of the new machine is that the manufacturer advertised that the school can expect about 2 paper jams per 1000 copies. After six months, the faculty wanted to see how the copier was actually doing. They had run 42,164 copies and had encountered 96 paper jams.

I have never done this and never will but I was just curious because a friend of mine just whacked it dead with a spade and I squirmed when I heard that. Won't blood spurt everywhere? What have you done?

Use cylindrical shells to find the volume of the soid that results when the region enclosed by y^2=8x and x=2 is revolved about the line x=4

I got the answer (64(4square root 2-1)pie)/5 , is that correct??

There is a term 'innumeracy', defined as "the inability to deal with simple mathematical concepts". Yet it doesn't seem to describe what I am observing.

Example 1:
- A recent debate on the health effects of soda pop - my opponent claimed an exaggerated diuretic effect from caffeine.
- Regardless of your views on soda pop, my point is that my opponent only had two modes of quantification: 100% and 0%.
- My rejoinder: to understand the effects of caffeine, you need to *quantify* their effects on the human body, something he apparently was incapable of contemplating.

Example 2:
- I posed a question "how much does x affect y in today's society". The responses were from two camps: 1) x has no effect on y, and 2) x completely controls y. No middle ground, i.e. no quantification.

Briefly: some can't quantify observations. And perhaps they don't belive in predictability of the universe - the core of math.

If this phenomenon is worth discussing, we need a pithy term - what should it be?

I am considering the purchase of a telescope for my daughter. In checking out a few, I quickly became confused regarding the various factors. Which is better... reflecting or refracting? How much power do I need? Etc.

I have a refigerator in the garage that is not heated, so initally I thought the fridge would have to run less often to keep contents cool. But then I got to wondering about how the fridge works, does the climiate affect the efficiency of the gas and compressor to produce cool temperatures?
