Answer

$$2.59 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{s}$$

Work Step by Step

Given \[ \int \frac{1}{(x+3963)^{2}} d x \] Let $x+3963=u, d x=d u$ Antiderivative \[ \int \frac{1}{u^{2}} d u=\frac{-1}{u}+C=\frac{-1}{x+3963}+C \] Evaluate the integral for $a=0, b=200 $. Using the antiderivative: \[ \begin{array}{l} v \approx\left[9-191,000 \int_{0}^{200} \frac{1}{(x+3963)^{2}} d x\right]^{1 / 2} \\ =\left[9-191,000\left(-\frac{-1}{3963}+\frac{-1}{200+3963 }\right)\right]^{1 / 2} \\ =\left[9-191,000\left(1.21 \times 10^{-5}\right)\right]^{1 / 2} \\ \quad=(6.6889)^{1 / 2} \approx 2.59 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{s} \end{array} \]
