Question 1b was not the intended question and will be marked accordingly.
(1) (a) Sketch the 2-dimensional region bounded by the functions

x + 1 and

x
3
+ 2 between
the vertical lines at x = 0 and x = 2. 2 marks
Solution 1. The graphs of the two functions are shown below. Of course,

x
3
+ 2 is the
top function because the cube grows faster than the linear function.
(b) Find the area of the region in (a). 4 marks
Solution 2. The area of the reqion is

(c) Find the volume of the 3-dimensional region obtained by rotating the region of (a) about
the x-axis. 4 marks

(2) A car starts from a rest position and accelerates at 2 m/sec
2
until it reaches a speed of 24 m/sec.
The brakes are then applied and the car slows down at -6 m/sec
2
until it stops.
(a) Sketch the velocity function of the car. 4 marks
Solution 4. Since the acceleration is 2 m/sec
2
and this is the derivative of the velocity
function, the slope of the velocity function is 2 initially. At t = 0 the velocity is 0. After the
velocity reaches 24m/sec its derivative changes to -6 until it reaches 0. Hence the velocity
has the following graph:
1
2
(b) How far has the car travelled from stop to nish? 4 marks
Solution 5. The distance travelled is the integral of the velocity function. In this case this
is

t=12
t=0
2tdt +

t=16
t=12
(96 6t)dt
and integration yields that this is
t

+ (96 16 3 16

)
= 144 + 96 4 3(16
2
12
2
) = 144 + 96 4 3(16 12)(16 + 12) = 144 + 4 (96 82) = 192
or, alternately, one can interpret the integral as the area of the triangle in the graph. This
is 16 24/2 = 16 12 = 192.
(3) Evaluate the following indenite integrals:
(a)

x sin(x)dx 5 marks
Solution 6. Use integration by parts. Let u = x and dv = sin(x)dx. Then du = dx and
v = cos(x).

x sin(x)dx = x cos(x) +

cos(x)dx = x cos(x) + sin(x) + C

Solution 8. Use the expansion of rational functions to nd constants A and B such that
x + 1

B
x + 5
=
A(x + 5) + Bx
x(x + 5)
=
(A + B)x + 5A
x(x + 5)

and hence A = 1/5 and A + B = 1 and so B = 4/5. Then
