Revision

  1. Find the trap area from (1,4) to (2,1) and the line y = 7 - 3x and the curve y = 4/x^2
  2. Find the equation of the curve which passes through the point (3,6) and for which dy/dx = 2x(x -3). Hint open brackets first then integrate.
  3. Differentiate e^(3-2x)
  4. A particle moves in a straight line so that, t seconds after passing through a fixed point O, its velocity, is giveb by v = 5t -3t^2 + 2. The particle comes to instantaneous rest at the point Q. Find

a) the acceleration of the particle atQ

b) the total distance travelled in the time interval t = 0 to t =3.

  1. y=e^(3-2x)

    let m= (3-2x)

    dm/dx= -2x

    rewrite y=e^m

    dy/dx= e^m

    dy/dx= dy/dm * dm/dx

    = e^ (3-2x) * -2x

  2. question2
    dy/dx=2x(x-3)
    dy/dx=2x^2-6x
    y=2/3x^3-3x^2

  3. dy/dx=2x(x-3)

    dy/dx=2x^2-6x

    dy/dx=2x^2-6x^2/3=> inttergrate

    there for: y=2/3x^3-3x^2

  4. Dark Angel and the best one, when u inttergrate in this case u suppose to end up with a constant C..and u suppose to find this using the points given..well that's what i think.

  5. Ques 2
    dy/dx=2x(x-3)
    expand the brackets
    so dy/dx=2x^2-6x
    now u integrate.
    y=2/3x^3-3x^2 +c
    Subst. the points (3,6) to find c
    6=18 - 27 + c
    c=15
    therefore equation of the curve is
    y=2/3x^3-3x^2 + 15

  6. Ques 4
    At instantaneous rest velocity is zero.
    so 5t-+2=0

    -3t^2+5t+2=0
    (3t + 1)(-t + 2)=0
    t=2

    a)to find the acc. u have to Differentiate.
    so dv/dt= 5 - 6t
    subst. t=2
    acc= -7ms^-2

    b)TO find the total distance travelled u need to integrate the (V) velocity.
    v = 5t -3t^2 + 2
    y= 5/2t^2 - t^3 + 2t
    to find distance, subst.the time interval t = 0 to t =3.
    so Dist= 1.5

  7. turbo you are correct dark angel and the best one forgot integration always give + c for constant
    That is why the point (3,6) was given so that c can be found
    y=2/3x^3-3x^2 + c
    x = 3 and y = 6 so c an be found

  8. so when u're integrating, the answer will be:
    y=ax+c

  9. dy/dx = 2x(x -3)
    WHEN DOING THIS QUESTION OPERN BRACKETS FIRST THEN INTIGRATE

    2X^2 - 6X

    INTERGRAL 2X^2 - 6X dx

    2X^3/3 - 6X^2/2 + c

  10. Can someone plz help me wit #4...

  11. #4. I think i figured it out.
    v = 5t -3t^2 + 2

    a)the acceleration of the particle atQ:
    Acceleration is change in velocity/change in time.
    Therefore:

    acceleration = dv/dt = 5-6t
    I do not know how to find the acceleration at Q.
    can someone plz help me?

    b) the total distance travelled in the time interval t = 0 to t =3.

    To find the distance you have to integrate the velocity, because, velocity is the change in distance with respect to time. when you integrate ds/dt you will get the distance moved.

    integral of: 5t -3t^2 + 2 dv/dt
    s => 5t^2/2 - 3t^3/3 + 2t

    then substitute t=3 and t=0 into the s(dist) and minus the lower limit (t=o) from the higher limit (t=3) and you will get your distance moved in the time interval t=o to t=3.

    the dist moved is = 1.5

  12. " DARk ANGEL" i think that at point Q the particle should not have any movement becaseu it can at rest at that point ...i have no idea somebody else help???
