Definite integrals are useful to science because we can often describe natural phenomena using definite integrals. However, integrating functions arising in real-life science can be rather challenging. In this exercise, we see how having only the graph of some functions is enough to answer some questions in science. The physical interpretation of an integral is a prerequisite knowledge you learned in MATH 1013. For a refresher, see the Net Change Theorem in Section 5.4 of the textbook. A group of researchers studies the population of arctic foxes in Northern Canada. Initially, the researchers identified a population of 1,000 arctic foxes. Due to various factors, the population of arctic foxes changes over time. The graph of the birthrate B(t) and the death rate D(t), for the population, are shown below. Time t is measured in years. (1) In a sentence or two, describe the meaning of the function f(t) = t 0 B(x) - D(x)dx in the context of this problem. (2) According the graph, is there a time t between 0 and 20 at which the population is equal to the initial population? If so, provide a rough estimate of this time, and write one or two sentences explaining how you found it. Your estimate should be a single number, not an interval. (3) Recall from Quiz 1 the definition of the average value of a function f(x). The average value of a function f(x) over an interval [a, b] is denoted by favg and is defined to be favg = 1 b - a b a f(x)dx. Suppose you know that the average birth rate over the first 20 years is 90 arctic foxes per year and the average death rate over the first 20 years is 100 arctic foxes per year. What is the population of the arctic foxes at t = 20 ? Show your work.

A static random access memory (SRAM) unit cell for storing one bit of information can be constructed using several CMOS transistors as shown below: (a). In the above circuit diagram of an SRAM cell, the circuit in the dashed-line box consists of two identical logic gates. What is the logic gate in such an SRAM cell? (1 mark) (b). Sketch a schematic diagram of the circuit in the dashed-line box at the logic gate level. You must use the standard logic gate symbols and show the signal interconnections clearly with proper labels. (6 marks) (c). Sketch a schematic diagram of the circuit in the dashed-line box at the transistor schematic level. You must use the standard circuit symbols of CMOS transistors and show the electrical connections (to M5&M6 as well as the power supply and ground) clearly with proper labels. (10 marks) (d). Assume a six-transistor SRAM cell. If each MOS transistor on average occupies a chip area of 16 λ×10 λ, determine the approximate memory size of a chip of 1 cm×1 cm implemented in a 40 nm CMOS technology? Express your answer in terms of megabyte (MB) or gigabyte (GB). (8 marks)
