Question

Consider the function f defined by f (x) = 6 + 6 cos x , for 0 ≤ x ≤ 4π .
The following diagram shows the graph of y = f (x) .

The graph of f touches the x-axis at points A and B, as shown. The shaded region is enclosed by the graph of y = f (x) and the x-axis, between the points A and B.

(a) Find the x-coordinates of A and B. [3]

(b) Show that the area of the shaded region is 12π . [5]

The right cone in the following diagram has a total surface area of 12π , equal to the shaded area in the previous diagram.
The cone has a base radius of 2, height h , and slant height l .

(d) Hence, find the volume of the cone. [4]

Answer/Explanation

Ans:

(a) When $f\left(x\right)=0$,
$$\begin{eqnarray}
6\left(1+\cos x\right) = 0 \nonumber \\
\cos x = -1.
\end{eqnarray}$$
Thus, $x=\pi$ or $x=3\pi$.<br>
(b)
$$\begin{eqnarray}
\text{req’d area} &=& \int_{\pi}^{3\pi} f\left(x\right) \text{d}x \nonumber \\
&=& 6\int_{\pi}^{3\pi} 1+\cos x \text{d}x \nonumber \\
&=& 6\left[ 1+\sin x \right]_{\pi}^{3\pi} \nonumber \\
&=& 6\left(3\pi-\pi\right) \nonumber \\
&=& 12\pi.
\end{eqnarray}$$
(c)
$$\begin{eqnarray}
\text{total surface area} &=& \pi\left(2\right)^2+\pi\left(2\right)l \nonumber \\
12\pi &=& 4\pi+2\pi l \nonumber \\
2\pi l &=& 8\pi \nonumber \\
l &=& 4.
\end{eqnarray}$$
(d) By Pythagoras’ Theorem, we have $h=\sqrt{4^2-2^2}$, i.e., $h=\sqrt{12}$. Thus,
$$\begin{eqnarray}
\text{vol. of cone} &=& \frac{1}{3}\pi\left(2\right)^2\left(h\right) \nonumber \\
&=& \frac{4\pi\sqrt{12}}{3} \nonumber \\
&=& \frac{8\pi\sqrt{3}}{3}.
\end{eqnarray}$$

Question

Find the area between the curves $y = 2 + x – {x^2}{\text{ and }}y = 2 – 3x + {x^2}$ .

Answer/Explanation

Markscheme

$2 + x – {x^2} = 2 – 3x + {x^2}$ M1

$ \Rightarrow 2{x^2} – 4x = 0$

$ \Rightarrow 2x(x – 2) = 0$

Question

Consider the curve $y = x{{\text{e}}^x}$ and the line $y = kx,{\text{ }}k \in \mathbb{R}$.

(a) Let k = 0.

(i) Show that the curve and the line intersect once.

(ii) Find the angle between the tangent to the curve and the line at the point of intersection.

(b) Let k =1. Show that the line is a tangent to the curve.

(c) (i) Find the values of k for which the curve $y = x{{\text{e}}^x}$ and the line $y = kx$ meet in two distinct points.

(ii) Write down the coordinates of the points of intersection.

(iii) Write down an integral representing the area of the region A enclosed by the curve and the line.

(iv) Hence, given that $0 < k < 1$, show that $A < 1$.

Answer/Explanation

Markscheme

(a) (i) $x{{\text{e}}^x} = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0$ A1

so, they intersect only once at (0, 0)

(ii) $y’ = {{\text{e}}^x} + x{{\text{e}}^x} = (1 + x){{\text{e}}^x}$ M1A1

$y'(0) = 1$ A1

$\theta = \arctan 1 = \frac{\pi }{4}{\text{ }}(\theta = 45^\circ )$ A1

[5 marks]

(b) when $k = 1,{\text{ }}y = x$

$x{{\text{e}}^x} = x \Rightarrow x({{\text{e}}^x} – 1) = 0$ M1

$ \Rightarrow x = 0$ A1

$y'(0) = 1$ which equals the gradient of the line $y = x$ R1

so, the line is tangent to the curve at origin AG

Note: Award full credit to candidates who note that the equation $x({{\text{e}}^x} – 1) = 0$ has a double root x = 0 so y = x is a tangent.

(iii) $A = \left| {\int_0^{\ln k} {kx – x{{\text{e}}^x}{\text{d}}x} } \right|$ M1A1

Note: Do not penalize the omission of absolute value.

(iv) attempt at integration by parts to find $\int {x{{\text{e}}^x}{\text{d}}x} $ M1

$\int {x{{\text{e}}^x}{\text{d}}x} = x{{\text{e}}^x} – \int {{{\text{e}}^x}{\text{d}}x = {{\text{e}}^x}(x – 1)} $ A1

as $0 < k < 1 \Rightarrow \ln k < 0$ R1

$A = \int_{\ln k}^0 {kx – x{{\text{e}}^x}{\text{d}}x = \left[ {\frac{k}{2}{x^2} – (x – 1){{\text{e}}^x}} \right]_{\ln k}^0} $ A1

$ = 1 – \left( {\frac{k}{2}{{(\ln k)}^2} – (\ln k – 1)k} \right)$ A1

$ = 1 – \frac{k}{2}\left( {{{(\ln k)}^2} – 2\ln k + 2} \right)$

$ = 1 – \frac{k}{2}\left( {{{(\ln k – 1)}^2} + 1} \right)$ M1A1

since $\frac{k}{2}\left( {{{(\ln k – 1)}^2} + 1} \right) > 0$ R1

$A < 1$ AG

The graphs of $f(x) = – {x^2} + 2$ and $g(x) = {x^3} – {x^2} – bx + 2,{\text{ }}b > 0$, intersect and create two closed regions. Show that these two regions have equal areas.

Answer/Explanation

to find the points of intersection of the two curves

$ – {x^2} + 2 = {x^3} – {x^2} – bx + 2$ M1

${x^3} – bx = x({x^2} – b) = 0$

$ \Rightarrow x = 0;{\text{ }}x = \pm \sqrt b $ A1A1

${A_1} = \int_{ – \sqrt b }^0 {\left[ {({x^3} – {x^2} – bx + 2) – ( – {x^2} + 2)} \right]} {\text{d}}x\left( { = \int_{ – \sqrt b }^0 {({x^3} – bx){\text{d}}x} } \right)$ M1

$ = \left[ {\frac{{{x^4}}}{4} – \frac{{b{x^2}}}{2}} \right]_{ – \sqrt b }^0$

$ = – \left( {\frac{{{{( – \sqrt b )}^4}}}{4} – \frac{{b{{( – \sqrt b )}^2}}}{2}} \right) = – \frac{{{b^2}}}{4} + \frac{{{b^2}}}{2} = \frac{{{b^2}}}{4}$ A1

${A_2} = \int_0^{\sqrt b } {\left[ {( – {x^2} + 2) – ({x^3} – {x^2} – bx + 2)} \right]{\text{d}}x} $ M1

Question

Given that $\int_{ – 2}^2 {f\left( x \right){\text{d}}x = 10} $ and $\int_0^2 {f\left( x \right){\text{d}}x = 12} $, find

$\int_{ – 2}^0 {\left( {f\left( x \right){\text{ + 2}}} \right){\text{d}}x} $.[4]

$\int_{ – 2}^0 {f\left( {x{\text{ + 2}}} \right){\text{d}}x} $.[2]

Answer/Explanation

Markscheme

$\int_{ – 2}^0 {f\left( x \right){\text{d}}x = 10} – 12 = – 2$ (M1)(A1)

$\int_{ – 2}^0 {2{\text{d}}x = \left[ {2x} \right]} _{ – 2}^0 = 4$ A1

$\int_{ – 2}^0 {\left( {f\left( x \right){\text{ + 2}}} \right){\text{d}}x} = 2$ A1

METHOD 2

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_{{r^2}}}x = \frac{1}{{{\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_x}\,{r^2}}}$ M1

$ = \frac{1}{{2\,{\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_x}\,r}}$ A1

$ = \frac{{{\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_r}\,x}}{2}$ AG

[2 marks]

METHOD 1

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,y + {\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_4}\,x + {\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_4}\,2x = 0$

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,y + {\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_4}\,2{x^2} = 0$ M1

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,y + \frac{1}{2}{\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,2{x^2} = 0$ M1

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,y = – \frac{1}{2}{\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,2{x^2}$

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,y = {\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt {2x} }}} \right)$ M1A1

$y = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}{x^{ – 1}}$ A1

Note: For the final A mark, $y$ must be expressed in the form $p{x^q}$.

METHOD 2

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,y + {\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_4}\,x + {\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_4}\,2x = 0$

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,y + \frac{1}{2}{\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,x + \frac{1}{2}{\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,2x = 0$ M1

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,y + {\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,{x^{\frac{1}{2}}} + {\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,{\left( {2x} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}} = 0$ M1

${\text{lo}}{{\text{g}}_2}\,\left( {\sqrt 2 xy} \right) = 0$ M1

$\sqrt 2 xy = 1$ A1

$y = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}{x^{ – 1}}$ A1

Note: For the final A mark, $y$ must be expressed in the form $p{x^q}$.
