For \(\int \frac{x^4}{\sqrt{4 - x^2}} \, dx\), a trigonometric substitution such as \(x = 2\sin\theta\), \(dx = 2\cos\theta \, d\theta\) might be appropriate. This changes the integral to \(16\int \sin^4\theta \, d\theta\). Via powers of sine and integral identities, this can be expressed and calculated into simpler integrals. The solution involves combining various trigonometric identities and result in terms of \(x\) after evaluating and simplifying .

The area generated by revolving the parabola \(y = \frac{x^2}{8}\) from \(x = 0\) to \(x = 2\) around the x-axis is found using the disk method: \(A = \pi\int_0^2 \left(\frac{x^2}{8}\right)^2 \, dx\). Simplifying gives \(\pi \int_0^2 \frac{x^4}{64} \, dx = \frac{\pi}{64}\left(\frac{x^5}{5}\right)_0^2 = \frac{32\pi}{80}\). Calculating provides the effective area formed by the revolution of this specific arc .

To apply implicit differentiation to \(4y^2 - x^3 = xy + x\), first differentiate both sides with respect to \(x\): \(8y\frac{dy}{dx} - 3x^2 = y + x\frac{dy}{dx} + 1\). Rearranging gives \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3x^2 - 1}{8y - x}\). The second derivative requires differentiating \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) again with respect to \(x\), which involves applying the quotient rule and substituting back for \(\frac{dy}{dx}\).

When revolving the region bounded by \(y = x^2\) and \(y = \sqrt{x}\) around the x-axis, determine the points of intersection, which are \(x = 0\) and \(x = 1\). The volume is computed using the formula \(\pi \int_0^1 ([\sqrt{x}]^2 - [x^2]^2) \, dx = \pi \int_0^1 (x - x^4) \, dx\). Evaluating, the volume is \(\pi \left(\frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{x^5}{5}\right)_0^1 = \frac{3\pi}{10}\).

The integral \(\int x^3 \sin x \, dx\) can be evaluated using integration by parts, which is applied repeatedly. Let \(u = x^3\) and \(dv = \sin x \, dx\), giving us \(du = 3x^2 \, dx\) and \(v = -\cos x\). Applying integration by parts multiple times ultimately results in \(-x^3 \cos x + 3x^2 \sin x + 6x \cos x - 6\sin x + C\).

A suitable substitution for \(\int \frac{e^x}{(x^2 + 1)^2} \, dx\) involves the substitution \(x = \tan t\), \(dx = \sec^2 t \, dt\). This transforms the integral into \(\int e^{\tan t} \cos^3 t \, dt\), which can be further simplified and then integrated by employing integration techniques for trigonometric and exponential functions. The specific algebraic manipulation and subsequent integration would yield a complex combination of terms in \(t\), later converted back to \(x\).

To use the trapezoidal rule with five ordinates for \(\int_0^2 (1 + x^2) \, dx\), divide the interval \([0, 2]\) into 4 equal subintervals (\(h = 0.5\)). Compute \(f(x)\) at each point: \(f(0) = 1\), \(f(0.5) = 1.25\), \(f(1) = 2\), \(f(1.5) = 3.25\), \(f(2) = 5\). The approximation is \(\frac{0.5}{2}((1 + 5) + 2(1.25 + 2 + 3.25)) = 4.25\).

The vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator equals zero. For \(y = \frac{2}{x + 1}\), the vertical asymptote is \(x = -1\). Horizontal asymptotes for rational functions where the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator are \(y = 0\). Thus, the horizontal asymptote is \(y = 0\).

Applying the chain rule to differentiate \(x^4 + y^4 = 16\) implicitly gives \(4x^3 + 4y^3\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\). Solving for \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) yields \(\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x^3}{y^3}\). This result shows the relationship of the derivatives, expressing how they change relative to each other while considering both variables' interdependence .

To find the equation of the normal to the curve \(y = x^2 - 7\) at the point \((-3, 4)\), we first need the derivative of the curve to find the slope of the tangent. The derivative is \(y' = 2x\). At \(x = -3\), \(y' = 2(-3) = -6\). The slope of the normal is the negative reciprocal of the tangent slope, which is \(\frac{1}{6}\). Using the point-slope form of the equation, \(y - 4 = \frac{1}{6}(x + 3)\), which simplifies to \(y = \frac{1}{6}x + \frac{5}{2}\).
