Integrate 21(2x2+x)dx

A.

412

B.

312

C.

712

D.

514

Correct answer is C

21(2x2+x)dx

= [2x2+13+x1+12]21

= [2x33+x22]21

= (2(2)33+222)(2(1)33+(1)22)

= (163+2)(23+12)

= 223(16)

= 223+16

= 152

= 712

The nth term of a sequence is given by 22n1. Find the sum of the first four terms.

A.

74

B.

32

C.

42

D.

170

Correct answer is D

Tn=22n1

T1=22(1)1

= 2

T2=22(2)1

= 8

T3=22(3)1

= 32

T4=22(4)1

= 128

T1+T2+T3+T4=2+8+32+128

= 170

Solve the inequality: -7 9 - 8x < 16 - x

A.

-1 x 2

B.

-1 x < 2

C.

-1 < x < 2

D.

-1 < x 2

Correct answer is D

-7 9 - 8x < 16 - x

-7 9 - 8x and 9 - 8x < 16 - x

-7 - 9 -8x and -8x + x < 16 - 9

-16 -8x and -7x < 7

x 2 and -1 < x

-1 < x 2.

A.

x112

B.

x212

C.

x212

D.

x112

Correct answer is B

4x633+2x2

2(4x - 6) 3(3 + 2x)

8x - 12 9 + 6x

8x - 6x 9 + 12

2x 21

x212

Correct answer is C

f(x)=3x3+4x2+x8

f(2)=3(2)3+4(2)2+(2)8

= 24+1628

= -18
