(a) \(10\) sq. units
(b) \(6\) sq. units
(c) \(8\) sq. units
(d) \(5\) sq. units
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \(8\) sq. units

Explanation:
1. For \([x]=n\) (\(n=1,2,3,4\)) we need \([y]=\pm n\).
2. Each value gives two unit squares (\(y\in[n,n+1)\) and \(y\in[-n,-n+1)\)), so \(4\times2=8\).

Teacher's Note:

(b) \(6\)
(c) \(\sqrt3\)
(d) \(\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \(\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\)

Explanation:
1. The point \((2\sqrt3,-1)\) lies on the line, since \(\sqrt3\cdot2\sqrt3-7=-1\). So the locus is the perpendicular to the line through that point.
2. Its equation is \(x+\sqrt3y=\sqrt3\), with intercepts \(\sqrt3\) and \(1\); the area is \(\dfrac12\sqrt3\cdot1=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\).

(a) \(\sqrt2\)
(b) \(\dfrac83\)
(c) \(0\)
(d) \(\dfrac1{\sqrt3}\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \(0\)

Explanation:
1. \(x^2-2mx-4=0\) gives \(x_2-x_1=\sqrt{4m^2+16}\).
2. The area between a parabola \(y=\frac{x^2}2\) and a chord is \(\dfrac{(x_2-x_1)^3}{12}\), smallest when \(m=0\).

(d) \(\dfrac{6\pi a^2}5\) sq. units
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \(3\pi a^2\) sq. units

Explanation:
1. The curve is symmetric about the \(x\)-axis: area \(=2\displaystyle\int_0^{2a}\dfrac{x^{3/2}}{\sqrt{2a-x}}dx\).
2. With \(x=2a\sin^2\theta\) the integral is \(2\cdot4a^2\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}2\sin^4\theta\,d\theta=2\cdot4a^2\cdot\dfrac{3\pi}8=3\pi a^2\).

(b) \(\dfrac1e\)
(c) \(1-\dfrac1e\)
(d) \(\dfrac2e\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \(\dfrac2e\)

Explanation:
1. For \(0\le x\le1\), \(xe^x\ge xe^{-x}\), so the area is \(\displaystyle\int_0^1x\left(e^x-e^{-x}\right)dx\).
2. \(=\left[xe^x-e^x+xe^{-x}+e^{-x}\right]_0^1=\dfrac2e\).

(d) \(7\) sq. units
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \(2\) sq. units

Explanation:
1. Let \(u=x+y-1\), \(v=2x+y-1\); the region is \(|u|+|v|\le1\), a square of diagonals \(2\) and \(2\), area \(2\).
2. The Jacobian of \((u,v)\) with respect to \((x,y)\) is \(\left|1\cdot1-1\cdot2\right|=1\), so the area is unchanged.

Teacher's Note:
1. Sketch the region, find the points of intersection and integrate the upper curve minus the lower curve (or use symmetry).
2. Use area = integral of |f - g| and split the interval wherever the curves cross.

(c) \(\dfrac{23}4\) sq. units
(d) \(\dfrac{53}4\) sq. units
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \(\dfrac{59}4\) sq. units

Explanation:
1. Compare the three expressions on \([-2,4]\) (real cube root); the maximum is the upper envelope and is non-negative throughout.
2. Integrating the envelope piece by piece (checked numerically) gives \(14.75=\dfrac{59}4\).

Teacher's Note:
1. Sketch the region, find the points of intersection and integrate the upper curve minus the lower curve (or use symmetry).

(b) \(\displaystyle\int_0^{\sqrt2+1}\dfrac{4t}{(1+t^2)\sqrt{1-t^2}}dt\)
(c) \(\displaystyle\int_0^{\sqrt2-1}\dfrac{4t}{(1+t^2)\sqrt{1-t^2}}dt\)
(d) \(\displaystyle\int_0^{\sqrt2+1}\dfrac{t}{(1+t^2)\sqrt{1-t^2}}dt\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \(\displaystyle\int_0^{\sqrt2-1}\dfrac{4t}{(1+t^2)\sqrt{1-t^2}}dt\)

Explanation:
1. With \(t=\tan\dfrac x2\), the limits are \(t=0\) to \(t=\tan\dfrac\pi8=\sqrt2-1\).
2. The difference of the two roots reduces to \(\dfrac{4t}{(1+t^2)\sqrt{1-t^2}}\cdot\dfrac{dt}{1}\) after \(dx=\dfrac{2dt}{1+t^2}\); numerical evaluation of both sides gives \(0.3312\).

Teacher's Note:

(a) \(\dfrac83\)
(b) \(\dfrac{16}3\)
(c) \(2\)
(d) \(\dfrac43\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \(\dfrac43\)

Explanation:
1. Area \(=\displaystyle\int_0^1(x^2-x^3)dx+\int_1^p(x^3-x^2)dx=\dfrac1{12}+\left(\dfrac{p^4}4-\dfrac{p^3}3+\dfrac1{12}\right)\).
2. Setting this to \(\dfrac16\) gives \(\dfrac{p^4}4=\dfrac{p^3}3\), so \(p=\dfrac43\).

Teacher's Note:
1. Sketch the region, find the points of intersection and integrate the upper curve minus the lower curve (or use symmetry).

(b) \((3\pi-8):(\pi+8)\)
(c) \((3\pi-4):(\pi+4)\)
(d) \((3\pi+2):(\pi-2)\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \((\pi-2):(3\pi+2)\)

Explanation:
1. The distance of the line from the centre is \(\sqrt2\), so the chord subtends \(90^\circ\) at the centre.
2. Smaller part \(=\dfrac14\pi\cdot4-\dfrac12\cdot2\cdot2=\pi-2\); greater part \(=4\pi-(\pi-2)=3\pi+2\).

Teacher's Note:

(b) \(\dfrac13\)
(c) \(\dfrac12\)
(d) \(\dfrac16\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \(\dfrac16\)

Explanation:
1. The area between a parabola \(y=x^2+\dots\) and a chord is \(\dfrac{(x_2-x_1)^3}6\), which grows with the horizontal extent.
2. For a chord of length \(1\) the horizontal extent is greatest (\(=1\)) when the chord is horizontal, giving area \(\dfrac16\).

Teacher's Note:

(b) \(e^2-e+\dfrac16\)
(c) \(e^2-e-\dfrac76\)
(d) \(e^2-e+\dfrac76\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \(e^2-e-\dfrac76\)

Explanation:
1. The curves are \(y=e^x+\dfrac{\sin x}x\) and \(y=\dfrac{\sin x}x+\dfrac{x^2}2\); their difference is \(e^x-\dfrac{x^2}2>0\).
2. Area \(=\displaystyle\int_1^2\left(e^x-\dfrac{x^2}2\right)dx=e^2-e-\dfrac{8-1}6=e^2-e-\dfrac76\).

Teacher's Note:

(a) \(1\)
(b) \(2\)
(c) \(\dfrac12\)
(d) \(4\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \(1\)

Explanation:
1. \(x-[x]=\{x\}\) and \(-x-[-x]=\{-x\}\); for non-integer \(x\) the minimum is \(\min(t,1-t)\) with \(t=\{x\}\).
2. Over each unit interval \(\displaystyle\int_0^1\min(t,1-t)dt=\dfrac14\); four unit intervals give \(1\).

(a) \(\dfrac53\)
(b) \(\dfrac{10}3\)
(c) \(5\)
(d) \(\dfrac{20}3\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \(\dfrac{10}3\)

Explanation:
1. On each unit interval \(\displaystyle\int_0^1\left(\sqrt t-t^2\right)dt=\dfrac23-\dfrac13=\dfrac13\).
2. Ten unit intervals give \(\dfrac{10}3\).

Question 17: If \(f(x)f(y)=f(xy)\) for all real \(x,y\), \(f'(1)=2\) and \(f(1)=1\), and the area bounded by \(y=f(x)\) and the curve \(y=\dfrac2{1+x^2}\) is \(\pi-\dfrac a3\), then \(a\) equals
(a) \(1\)
(b) \(2\)
(c) \(3\)
(d) \(4\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \(2\)

Explanation:
1. The functional equation with \(f'(1)=2\) gives \(f(x)=x^2\).
2. The curves meet at \(x=\pm1\): area \(=\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1\left(\dfrac2{1+x^2}-x^2\right)dx=\pi-\dfrac23\), so \(a=2\).

Teacher's Note:
1. Sketch the region, find the points of intersection and integrate the upper curve minus the lower curve (or use symmetry).
2. Use area = integral of |f - g| and split the interval wherever the curves cross.

Question 18: Let \(f(x)\) be a cubic polynomial whose graph \(y=f(x)\) has relative extremes at \(x=\pm\dfrac2{\sqrt3}\) and passes through \((0,0)\) and \((1,-2)\). The curve divides the circle \(x^2+y^2=4\) into two parts. The difference of the areas of the two parts is
(a) \(2\)
(b) \(\pi\)
(c) \(0\)
(d) \(4\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \(0\)

Explanation:
1. \(f'(x)=3k\left(x^2-\dfrac43\right)\) and \(f(0)=0\) give \(f=k(x^3-4x)\); \(f(1)=-2\) gives \(k=\dfrac23\). So \(f\) is an odd function.
2. The graph is symmetric about the origin, the centre of the circle, so the two parts are congruent and the difference is \(0\).

Teacher's Note:
1. Sketch the region, find the points of intersection and integrate the upper curve minus the lower curve (or use symmetry).
2. Use area = integral of |f - g| and split the interval wherever the curves cross.

(a) \(6\)
(b) \(8\)
(c) \(9\)
(d) \(7\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \(7\)

Explanation:
1. \(\displaystyle\int_0^2\{x^2\}dx=\dfrac83-\sum_{n=1}^3n\left(\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt n\right)\ \ (\text{for }x\in[0,2])=\sqrt2+\sqrt3-\dfrac73\).
2. Doubling for the symmetric half gives \(p=2\), \(q=2\), \(r=3\), so \(p+q+r=7\).

(c) \(\dfrac{8a^2}{15}\) sq. units
(d) \(\dfrac{2a^2}5\) sq. units
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \(\dfrac{8a^2}{15}\) sq. units

Explanation:
1. The loop lies for \(0\le x\le a\), symmetric about the \(x\)-axis: area \(=\dfrac2{\sqrt a}\displaystyle\int_0^ax\sqrt{a-x}\,dx\).
2. \(\displaystyle\int_0^ax\sqrt{a-x}\,dx=\dfrac{4a^{5/2}}{15}\), so the area is \(\dfrac{8a^2}{15}\).

Question 25: Let \(S\) be the area of the region enclosed by \(y=e^{-x^2}\), \(y=0\), \(x=0\) and \(x=1\). Which of the following are correct? I. \(S\ge\dfrac1e\); II. \(S\ge1-\dfrac1e\); III. \(S\le\dfrac14\left(1+\dfrac1{\sqrt e}\right)\); IV. \(S\le\dfrac1{\sqrt2}+\dfrac1{\sqrt e}\left(1-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\right)\).
(a) I, II and IV only
(b) I and III only
(c) II and III only
(d) I, II and III only
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) I, II and IV only

Explanation:
1. \(S=\displaystyle\int_0^1e^{-x^2}dx\approx0.7468\). Since \(e^{-x^2}\ge e^{-1}\) on \([0,1]\), I holds; \(0.7468>1-\dfrac1e\approx0.632\), so II holds.
2. III would need \(S\le0.40\), which is false. IV: the bound is about \(0.885\), true (use \(e^{-x^2}\le1\) on \([0,\frac1{\sqrt2}]\) and \(\le e^{-1/2}\) on \([\frac1{\sqrt2},1]\)).

2. Use area = integral of |f - g| and split the interval wherever the curves cross.

Question 27: The area inside the square \(|y+x|\le1\), \(|y-x|\le1\) but outside the circle \(3x^2+3y^2=1\), equals \(p-\dfrac\pi{p+1}\) square units, then \(p\) equals
(a) \(1\)
(b) \(3\)
(c) \(2\)
(d) \(4\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \(2\)

Explanation:
1. The square has diagonals \(2\) along both axes, area \(2\). The circle has radius \(\dfrac1{\sqrt3}<\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\) (the inradius), so it lies inside.
2. Area \(=2-\dfrac\pi3\), so \(p=2\) and \(\dfrac\pi{p+1}=\dfrac\pi3\).

2. Use area = integral of |f - g| and split the interval wherever the curves cross.

Question 28: Consider the areas \(S_0,S_1,S_2,\dots\) bounded by the \(x\)-axis and the half-waves of \(y=e^{-x}\sin x\), \(x\ge0\). The value of \(S_0\) is
(a) \(\dfrac12\left(1+e^{\pi}\right)\) sq. units
(b) \(\dfrac12\left(1-e^{-\pi}\right)\) sq. units
(c) \(\dfrac12\left(e^{\pi}-1\right)\) sq. units
(d) \(\dfrac12\left(1+e^{-\pi}\right)\) sq. units
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \(\dfrac12\left(1+e^{-\pi}\right)\) sq. units

Explanation:
1. \(S_0=\displaystyle\int_0^\pi e^{-x}\sin x\,dx=\left[-\dfrac{e^{-x}(\sin x+\cos x)}2\right]_0^\pi\).
2. \(=\dfrac{e^{-\pi}+1}2\).

1. Sketch the region, find the points of intersection and integrate the upper curve minus the lower curve (or use symmetry).
2. Use area = integral of |f - g| and split the interval wherever the curves cross.

Question 29: For the half-wave areas \(S_0,S_1,S_2,\dots\) of \(y=e^{-x}\sin x\), the sequence forms a G.P. with common ratio
(a) \(e^{-\pi}\)
(b) \(\dfrac{e^\pi}2\)
(c) \(e^{\pi}\)
(d) \(\dfrac{e^{-\pi}}2\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \(e^{-\pi}\)

Explanation:
1. \(S_n=\displaystyle\int_{n\pi}^{(n+1)\pi}\left|e^{-x}\sin x\right|dx\); substituting \(x=t+\pi\) shows \(S_{n+1}=e^{-\pi}S_n\).
2. So the common ratio is \(e^{-\pi}\).
