Question 

Let  \({f}'(x)=2e^{-x}+10\, \textup{sin}\, 5x+1\).
Find \(f (x)\) , given that the curve of this function passes through the point A(0,5).

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans
\(f(x)=-2e^{-x}-2\textup{cos}5x+x+c\)
\(f(0)=5\Leftrightarrow -2-2+0+c=5\Leftrightarrow c=9\)
Hence,  \(f(x)=-2e^{-x}-2\textup{cos}5x+x+9\)

Question 

Let  \({f}”(x)=6ax+b\).
Find \(f (x)\) , given that the function has a maximum at A(1,5) and a point of inflection at B(0,3)

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans
\({f}”(x)=6ax+b\),     \({f}'(x)=3ax^{2}+bx+c\)     and      \(f(x)=ax^{3}+\frac{b}{2}x^{2}+cx+d\)

Point of inflection at B(0,3)\(\Rightarrow {f}”(0)=0\)and\(f(0)=3\)
 \(\Rightarrow b=0\)and\(d=3\)
Max at A(1,5)\(\Rightarrow {f}'(1)=0\)and\(f(1)=5\)
 \(\Rightarrow 3a+c=0\)and\(a+c+3=5\)
 \(\Rightarrow 3a+c=0\)and\(a+c=2\)
 \(\Rightarrow a=-1\)and\(c=3\)

Therefore,  \(f(x)=-x^{3}+3x+3\)

For \(x=6,\, 2A=2\Leftrightarrow A=1\)

Ans
Substituting \(u=x+2\Rightarrow u-2=x,\textup{d}u=\textup{d}x\)                      (M1)
\(\int \frac{x^{3}}{(x+2)^{2}}\textup{d}x=\frac{(u-2)^{3}}{u^{2}}\textup{d}u\)                                                                             A1

Question 

Using the substitution \(2x=\textup{sin}\theta \), or otherwise, find \(\int \left ( \sqrt{1-4x^{2}} \right )dx\).                                                  (Total 6 marks)

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans
\(\int \left (\sqrt{1-4x^{2}} \right )\textup{d}x\)
\(\textup{Let}\, 2x=\textup{sin}\theta \Rightarrow 2\frac{\textup{d}x}{\textup{d}\theta }=\textup{cos}\, \theta \Rightarrow \textup{d}x=\frac{1}{2}\textup{cos}\, \theta \, \textup{d}\, \theta\)
\(\Rightarrow \int \left ( \sqrt{1-4x^{2}} \right )\textup{d}x=\int \sqrt{1-\textup{sin}^{2}\theta \frac{1}{2}}\textup{cos}\,\theta \textup{d}\, \theta \)
\(=\int \frac{1}{2}\textup{cos}^{2}\theta \, \textup{d}\, \theta \)                                                                                      (A1)
