Evaluate \(\int^{1}_{-1}(2x + 1)^2 \mathrm d x\)

A.

3\(\frac{2}{3}\)

B.

4

C.

4\(\frac{1}{3}\)

D.

4\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Correct answer is D

\(\int^{1}_{-1}(2x + 1)^2 \mathrm d x\)

= \(\int^{1}_{-1}(4x^2 + 4x + 1) \mathrm d x\)

= \(\int^{1}_{-1}\)[\(\frac{4x^3}{3} + 2x^2 + x]\)

= [\(\frac{4}{3}\) + 2 + 1] - [\(\frac{-4}{3}\)+2 -1]



= \(\frac{13}{3}\) + \(\frac{1}{3}\)

= \(\frac{14}{3}\)

= \(4 \frac{2}{3}\)

Integrate \(\frac{1 - x}{x^3}\) with respect to x

A.

\(\frac{x - x^2}{x^4}\) + k

B.

\(\frac{4}{x^4} - \frac{3 + k}{x^3}\)

C.

\(\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2x^2}\) + k

D.

\(\frac{1}{3x^2} - \frac{1}{2x}\) + k

Correct answer is C

\(\int \frac{1 - x}{x^3}\)

= \(\int^{1}_{x^3} - \int^{x}_{x^3}\)

= x-3 dx - x-2dx

= \(\frac{1}{2x^2} + \frac{1}{x}\)

Find the point (x, y) on the Euclidean plane where the curve y = 2x2 - 2x + 3 has 2 as gradient

A.

(1, 3)

B.

(2, 7)

C.

(0, 3)

D.

(3, 15)

Correct answer is A

Equation of curve;

y = 2x2 - 2x + 3

gradient of curve;

\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = differential coefficient

\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 4x - 2, for gradient to be 2

∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 2

4x - 2 = 2

4x = 4

∴ x = 1

When x = 1, y = 2(1)2 - 2(1) + 3

= 2 - 2 + 3

= 5 - 2

= 3

coordinate of the point where the curve; y = 2x2 - 2x + 3 has gradient equal to 2 is (1, 3)

If y = 3t3 + 2t2 - 7t + 3, find \(\frac{dy}{dt}\) at t = -1

A.

-1

B.

1

C.

-2

D.

2

Correct answer is C

y = 3t3 + 2t2 - 7t + 3

\(\frac{dy}{dt}\) = 9t2 + 4t - 7

When t = -1

\(\frac{dy}{dt}\) = 9(-1)2 + 4(-1) - 7

= 9 - 4 -7

= 9 - 11

= -2

What is the value of sin(-690)?

A.

\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

B.

-\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

C.

\(\frac{-1}{2}\)

D.

\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Correct answer is D

Sin(-690o) = Sin(-360 -3300

sin - 360 = sin 0

∴ sin(-690o) = sin(330o)

Negative angles are measured in clockwise direction

The acute angle equivalent of sin(-330o) = sin(30o)

sin(-330o) = sin(30o)

= \(\frac{1}{2}\)

= 0.5
