101.

Given that F1(x) = x3√x, find f(x)

A.

2x9/29+c

B.

2x9/2+c

C.

2x5/25+c

D.

x4+c

Correct answer is A

F1 (x) = x3 √x = x7/2

F(x) = x7/2+17/2+1 + c

x9/29/2

2x9/29 + c

102.

A stone is thrown vertically upward and distance, S metres after t seconds is given by S = 12t + 52t2 - t3.

Calculate the distance travelled in the third second.

A.

5.5m

B.

14.5m

C.

26.0m

D.

30.0m

Correct answer is A

From  S = 12t + 52t2 - t3;

Distance traveled in 2 seconds

 S = 12[2] + 52[2]2 - 23.

= 24 + 10 - 8 = 26m

Distance traveled in 3 seconds

 S = 12[3] + 52[3]2 - 33

= 36 + 22.5 - 27 = 31.5m

Distance traveled in the 3rd second

= 31.5m - 26m

: S = 5.5m

103.

A stone is thrown vertically upward and distance, S metres after t seconds is given by S = 12t + 52t2 - t3.

Calculate the maximum height reached.

A.

418.5m

B.

56.0m

C.

31.5m

D.

30.0m

Correct answer is C

S = 12t + 52t2 - t3;

ds/dt =  12 + 5t - 3t2

At max height ds/dt = 0

i.e 12 + 5t - 3t2

(3t + 4)(t -3) = 0;

t = -4/3 or 3

Hmax = 12[3] + 52[3]2 - 33

= 36 + 45/2 - 27

= 31.5m

104.

In △PQR, ¯PQ = 5i - 2j and ¯QR = 4i + 3j. Find ¯RP

A.

-i - 5j

B.

-9 - j

C.

i + 5j

D.

-9i + j

Correct answer is A

¯PQ = 5i - 2j;  ¯QR = 4i + 3j

 ¯RP¯PQ¯QR

= 5i - 2j - [4i + 3j] =  5i - 2j - 4i - 3j

= i - 5j
