          .

      That is

      .


15. In a certain city the temperature (in ) hours after A.M. is modeled by the function

.

   Find the average temperature during the period from A.M. to P.M.

 


16. If a cup of coffee has temperature in a room where the temperature is then, according to Newton's Law of Cooling, the temperature of the coffee after minutes is . What is the average temperature of the coffee during the first half hour?

 

17. The linear density in a rod long is , where is measured in meters from one end of the rod. Find the average density of the rod.

 Let . Then

      . Change of variable to , then . So

      


19. If denotes the average value of on the interval and , show that
