Question 2 (i) Question 2 (vi)
Evaluate the limit of limx→0 (√(x + 1) − 1) / x Evaluate the integral ∫ x2 sin(x) dx.
SOLUTION: SOLUTION:
Direct substitution yields an indeterminate form 0/0. Apply Integration by Parts twice (∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v
Rationalize the numerator by multiplying numerator du). Let u = x2, dv = sin x dx → du = 2x dx, v =
and denominator by (√(x + 1) + 1): −cos x:
L = limx→0 [(√(x + 1) − 1)(√(x + 1) + 1)] / [x(√(x I = −x2 cos x − ∫ (−cos x)(2x) dx = −x2 cos x + 2
+ 1) + 1)] ∫ x cos x dx
L = limx→0 [(x + 1) − 1] / [x(√(x + 1) + 1)] For the second integral, let u = x, dv = cos x dx →
du = dx, v = sin x:
L = limx→0 x / [x(√(x + 1) + 1)]
∫ x cos x dx = x sin x − ∫ sin x dx = x sin x + cos x
Cancel out the common term x (x ≠ 0): Substitute back into the expression:
L = limx→0 1 / (√(x + 1) + 1)
I = −x2 cos x + 2(x sin x + cos x) + C
Apply the limit:
I = −x2 cos x + 2x sin x + 2 cos x + C
L = 1 / (√(0 + 1) + 1) = 1 / (1 + 1) = 1/2
Answer: −x2 cos x + 2x sin x + 2 cos x + C
Answer: 1/2
Question 2 (vii)
Question 2 (ii)
Find the angle from line 7x + 3y − 9 = 0 to line 5x − 2y
Find the derivative of the implicit function x2 + y2 = 25. + 2 = 0.
SOLUTION: SOLUTION:
Differentiate both sides with respect to x: Find slopes m1 and m2:
d/dx (x2) + d/dx (y2) = d/dx (25) 7x + 3y − 9 = 0 → m1 = −7/3
Apply the Power Rule and Chain Rule:
5x − 2y + 2 = 0 → m2 = 5/2
2x + 2y · (dy/dx) = 0
Use angle formula tan θ = (m2 − m1) / (1 + m1m2):
Isolate the derivative term dy/dx:
tan θ = (5/2 − (−7/3)) / (1 + (−7/3)(5/2))
2y · (dy/dx) = −2x
tan θ = (15/6 + 14/6) / (1 − 35/6) = (29/6) /
dy/dx = −2x / 2y
(−29/6) = −1
dy/dx = −x / y
Thus, θ = tan−1(−1) = 135° (or acute angle 45°).
Answer: dy/dx = −x / y
Answer: 135° (or 45°)

SOLUTION: = 0:
Differentiate each component vector individually
2g = −4 → g = −2
with respect to x:
2f = −3 → f = −3/2, and c = 9/2
d/dx(2x4 − 5) = 8x3
Center is (−g, −f) = (2, 3/2).
d/dx(sin x) = cos x
Radius formula r = √(g2 + f2 − c):
d/dx(−e2x) = −2e2x
r = √((-2)2 + (-3/2)2 − 9/2) = √(4 + 9/4 − 18/4)
Reassemble the component vector terms:
r = √(4 − 9/4) = √(7/4) = √7 / 2
F'(x) = 8x3i + cos(x)j − 2e2xk
Center: (2, 1.5) | Radius: √7 / 2
