Chapter 4: Calculus
1. Differentiation
Problem: Differentiate y=3x2+5x−7y = 3x^2 + 5x - 7y=3x2+5x−7.
o Solution: dydx=6x+5\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x + 5dxdy=6x+5.
2. Integration
Problem: Integrate ∫(2x+3)dx\int (2x + 3)dx∫(2x+3)dx.
o Solution: ∫(2x+3)dx=x2+3x+C\int (2x + 3)dx = x^2 + 3x +
C∫(2x+3)dx=x2+3x+C.
Chapter 5: Probability and Statistics
1. Probability
Problem: A coin is tossed twice. What is the probability of getting two heads?
o Solution: Sample space = {HH, HT, TH, TT}. Probability = 14\frac{1}{4}41.
2. Mean and Median
Problem: Find the mean and median of the data set: {4, 8, 6, 5, 3}.
o Solution:
Mean = 4+8+6+5+35=26/5=5.2\frac{4 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 3}{5} = 26/5 =
5.254+8+6+5+3=26/5=5.2.
Median = Arrange data: {3, 4, 5, 6, 8}, Median = 5.
Chapter 6: Sequences and Series
1. Arithmetic Sequence
Problem: Find the 10th term of the sequence: 3, 7, 11, 15...
o Solution: a=3,d=4a = 3, d = 4a=3,d=4. an=a+(n−1)d=3+(10−1)(4)=39a_n = a +
(n-1)d = 3 + (10-1)(4) = 39an=a+(n−1)d=3+(10−1)(4)=39.
2. Geometric Sequence
Problem: Find the sum of the first 4 terms of the sequence: 2, 6, 18, 54...
o Solution: a=2,r=3a = 2, r = 3a=2,r=3. Sum = a(rn−1)/(r−1)=2(34−1)/2=80a(r^n -
1)/(r-1) = 2(3^4 - 1)/2 = 80a(rn−1)/(r−1)=2(34−1)/2=80.
