( (a) e x + 5 cos(x) + 3x 7 + ) dx x / Solution: e x + 5 sin(x) + 8 x8 + 3 x 3 + C (b) 5 e /x x dx. Answer: Solution: Let u = x x = 5. So, 5. Then du = x dx, and u = when x = and u = 5 when e /x x dx = 5 e u du = e u 5 = e e 5. Remark: An alternative (found by some!) is to use u = e /x, du = x e /x. (c) x 3 ln(x)dx Solution: Integrate by parts: Let u = ln(x) and dv = x 3 dx. Then du = x, v = x, and [ x x 3 ln(x)dx = ln(x) ] π x [ ] x π x dx = ln(x) [ ] π = ln(π) x 3 = π ln(π) π +. dx [ π ]
Mathematics 5-95 Page 3 of 9 Student-No.: (d) sin 3 ( x) dx x Solution: First, let u = x. Then du = x, and sin 3 ( x) dx = x Answer: sin 3 (u)du. Since we have an odd power of sin(x), we use the trig identity sin (u)+cos (u) = : sin 3 (u)du = sin (u) sin(u)du = ( cos (u)) sin(u)du. Now let v = cos(u). Then dv = sin(u)du and we have that sin 3 ( x) dx = x ( v )dv = (v )dv = 3 v3 v + C = 3 cos3 (u) cos(u) + C = 3 cos3 ( x) cos( x) + C. (e) Without calculating the resulting coefficients, and with no reference to a specific integral, give the appropriate form of the partial fraction decomposition that will decompose the following fractions into a sum of simpler fractions. 5 (i) (x + 3)(x ) 5x (ii) (x )(x + x + ) 3x + (iii) (x + )(x + x 3) Solution: (i) A x + 3 + B x. Answer: A (ii) x + Bx + C x + x +. (Note: The discriminant is = = 3 <.) A (iii) x + + B x + C x + 3. (Note: x + x 3 = (x )(x + 3).)
Mathematics 5-95 Page of 9 Student-No.: x 3 marks. (a) Let G(x) = e et dt. Calculate G (). Solution: Let F (x) = x eet dt. Then G(x) = F (x ) and, by the Chain Rule, G (x) = F (x ) x. Also, since e et know that Therefore and so is continuous, by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus part we F (x) = e ex. G (x) = F (x ) x = e ex x, G () = e e. marks (b) Find the equation of the line tangent to G(x) at the point x =. Solution: From (a) we know that the slope of the line tangent to G(x) at x = is m = e e. Using the point-slope formula for a line with the point (, G()), we have that the equation of the tangent line is Now, y G() = e e (x ). G() = e et dt = since there is no area below the graph between x = and x =. So, the equation of the tangent line is y = e e (x ).

Unless otherwise indicated, simplification of answers is not required in these questions. 3 marks 3. (a) Approximate ln(x)dx using a midpoint Riemann sum with n = 3. Solution: Here a = and b =, so x = b = =. Furthermore, we have n 3 3 that f(x) = ln(x) and, since we re asked to use midpoints, x k = a + (k ) x = + (k ). 3 So ln(x)dx M 3 = 3 f(x k) x = 3 k= ( ln ( ) 7 + ln ( ) 9 + ln ( )). marks (b) Use the formula E M to find a bound for the absolute error in the approximation in (a). M(b a)3 n Solution: By definition, M is a number such that f (x) M for all x [, ]. Since f(x) = ln(x), f (x) = and f (x) =. Therefore f (x) =. Now, since x x x is a decreasing function, we have that f (x) =, so we can take M =. x Thus, error ( )3 3 = 3. mark (c) Given that ln(x)dx = ln(), what is the true error in the approximation in (a). You do not need to evaluate your answer. Solution: The true error is given by ( ) ln(x)dx M 3 = ( ln() ) 3 ( ln ( ) 7 + ln ( ) 9 + ln ( )).
Mathematics 5-95 Page of 9 Student-No.: 8 marks. Use a method of integration to calculate the area of the cap of the circle x + y = shown below. If you are unable to determine the appropriate limits of integration, calculate the corresponding indefinite integral. y (, ) (, ) x Solution: The equation of the top-half of the circle is y = x. Now, the area of the cap of the circle is equal to the total area between the top-half of the circle and the x-axis from x = to x = (let s call this area A ) minus the area of the rectangle directly below the cap (let s call this area A ). In the language of integrals, A = x dx and A = dx, since we can think of the rectangle as the area under the graph y = from x = to x =. To calculate A, we make the trigonometric substitution x = sin(θ). Then dx = cos(θ)dθ and x = sin (θ) = cos (θ) = cos(θ). Also, when x = we have that = sin(θ), so θ = π. Similarly, when x =, θ = π. Thus we have that A = x dx = π cos (θ)dθ. To calculate this integral, we need to make use of the double-angle formula: cos (θ) = + cos(θ). This gives us ( π A = π + cos(θ)dθ = θ + ) π sin(θ) π = π 8 + ( π ) sin ( π8 + ( sin π ) ) = π +. Now, A = dx = x Therefore the area of the cap is π + = π. =.
Mathematics 5-95 Page 7 of 9 Student-No.: 5. The average value of an integrable function f(t) over the interval [a, b] is defined to be f ave = b a b a f(t)dt. 5 marks (a) If the velocity of a particle after t seconds is given by v(t) = te t, find the particle s average velocity over the first seconds. Solution: We need to calculate v ave = Let s first calculate I = te t dt. te t dt. We will use the method of integration by parts with u = t and dv = e t dt. Then du = dt and v = e t. This gives us that I = te t dt = = = [ ] t( e t ) [ t( e t ) [ t( e t ) ] ] + e t ( e t )dt e t dt = ( e ) (e e ) = 3e. So, v ave = 3e Remark: Many people tried to use IBP with units of length/seconds. u = e t, dv = tdt du = e t dt, v = t. This results in the expression (ignoring the limits of integration for brevity) e t t ( e t ) t dt and the integral that appears is much harder than the original one. mark (b) What is the particle s displacement after seconds have passed? Solution: x() x() = v(t)dt = te t dt = 3e units of length.
Mathematics 5-95 Page 8 of 9 Student-No.:. The population dynamics of a population of fish x(t) (in units of millions of fish) at time t can be modelled by the differential equation dx dt =.(x x ). 3 marks (a) Find the partial fraction decomposition of x( x). Solution: The partial fraction decomposition has the form which tells us that x( x) = A x + B x, = A( x) + Bx = (B A)x + A. So, A = and B A = B =. Therefore, x( x) = x + x. 3 marks (b) Find the general solution of the differential equation above. You may leave your answer in implicit form. Solution: Moving all the x-terms to the left and all of the t-terms to the right we get dx =.dt. x x Integrating on both sides (and noting that x x = x( x)) we have x( x) dx =.dt x + dx =.t + C x ln x ln x =.t + C. mark (c) If, initially, there are.5 million fish, will the population of fish initially increase or decrease? Justify your answer. (Hint: You do not need to solve (b) to answer this question.) Solution: The rate of change of the population is given by dx =.(x x ) = dt.x( x). If the initial population is x() =.5, then dx =. (.5)(.5) <, dt which indicates that the population is initially decreasing.
Mathematics 5-95 Page 9 of 9 Student-No.: 7. Bonus [ marks] A function f(x) is said to be even if f(x) = f( x) for all x. For example, f(x) = x is an even function. If f(x) is an even integrable function, show that for any constant a >. a a f(x)dx Solution: For any a >, we have that Now, for the integral a f(x)dx + a f(x)dx. f(x)dx, let u = x. Then du = dx and when x =, u = () = a. Similarly, when x =, u =. Thus, f( u)du = a a Since f is an even function, f( u) = f(u) for all u. Hence a f(u)du = a f( u)du. f(x)dx (since u is simply a dummy variable, we can change it to x in the last step). Therefore a f(x)dx + a a f(x)dx + a a f(x)dx.
