Multiple Choice Questions
(i) F(x) has a local maximum at x = 2
(ii) F(x) has a local minimum at x = 1
(iii) F(x) has two local maxima and one local minimum in (0, \( \infty \))
(iv) \( F(x)\ne0 \) for all x in (0, 5)
Which of the statements are correct?
(a) (ii) and (iv) only
(b) (i) and (iv) only
(c) (i), (ii) and (iv) only
(d) All of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) (i), (ii) and (iv) only
Explanation:
1. \( F'(x) = f(x) \) changes sign from - to + at \( 1 \), from + to - at \( 2 \), and from - to + at \( 5 \). So \( F \) has local minima at \( 1 \) and \( 5 \) and a local maximum at \( 2 \) only; \( (iii) \) is false.
2. \( F(x) = x^4/4 - 8x^3/3 + 17x^2/2 - 10x \) is negative on \( (0, 5): F(1) \approx -3.92, F(2) \approx -3.33 \), and \( F \) decreases further to \( F(5) \lt 0 \), so \( F \ne 0 \) on \( (0, 5) \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Examine each statement separately before choosing the combination.
2. Test doubtful statements with a specific function or number.
(a) \( \sqrt2+1 \)
(b) \( \frac{\pi}{4}-\frac12 \)
(c) \( 1-\frac{1}{\sqrt2} \)
(d) \( \sqrt2-1 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( \sqrt2-1 \)
Explanation:
1. \( cos(tan^{-1} x) = 1/\sqrt{1+x^2} \).
2. The integral becomes \( \int_0^1 x/\sqrt{1+x^2}\,dx = [\sqrt{1+x^2}]_0^1 \).
3. = \( \sqrt2 - 1 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Convert the trigonometric-inverse composite to an algebraic expression with a right triangle.
(a) \( 0 \)
(b) \( 1 \)
(c) \( \frac12 \)
(d) \( \alpha\beta \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( 0 \)
Explanation:
1. \( \int_0^1\sin\alpha x\sin\beta x\,dx = \frac{\beta\sin\alpha\cos\beta - \alpha\cos\alpha\sin\beta}{\alpha^2 - \beta^2} \).
2. With \( \sin\alpha = 2\alpha\cos\alpha \) and \( \sin\beta = 2\beta\cos\beta \) the numerator becomes \( 2\alpha\beta\cos\alpha\cos\beta - 2\alpha\beta\cos\alpha\cos\beta = 0 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Use \( tan(alpha) = 2 \) alpha and \( tan(beta) = 2 \) beta.
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( 1+e \)
(b) \( 1+e^2 \)
(c) \( e^2 \)
(d) \( 2+e^2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( 1+e^2 \)
Explanation:
1. The curves meet at \( x = 2 \) and \( 1/(4(x-1)) \ge 1/x^2 \) for \( x \gt 1 (since (x-2)^2 \ge 0) \). Area = \( \int_2^a\left[\frac1{4(x-1)} - \frac1{x^2}\right]dx = \frac14\ln(a-1) + \frac1a - \frac12 \).
2. Area = \( 1/a \) means \( \frac14\ln(a-1) = \frac12 \), so \( \ln(a-1) = 2 \) and a = \( 1 + e^2 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Set area = \( 1/a \).
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( \frac{\pi}{4}-\ln 2 \)
(b) \( \frac{\pi}{2}+\ln 2 \)
(c) \( \frac{\pi}{2}-\ln 2 \)
(d) \( \pi-\ln 2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( \frac{\pi}{2}-\ln 2 \)
Explanation:
1. For \( 0 \le x \le 1, \sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{1+x^2} = 2\tan^{-1}x \).
2. \( \int_0^1 2\tan^{-1}x\,dx = 2[x\tan^{-1}x - \tfrac12\ln(1+x^2)]_0^1 \).
3. = \( 2(\pi/4 - \tfrac12\ln 2) = \pi/2 - \ln 2 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Put \( x = tan t \) to see the identity, valid for \( x \) in \( [0,1] \).
(a) \( \frac23 \)
(b) \( \frac83 \)
(c) \( \frac13 \)
(d) \( \frac43 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( \frac43 \)
Explanation:
1. \( y = -(x-1)(x-3) \) is non-negative on \( [1, 3] \).
2. Area = \( \int_1^3(4x - x^2 - 3)dx = [2x^2 - x^3/3 - 3x]_1^3 = 4/3 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. The parabola cuts the x-axis at \( 1 \) and \( 3 \).
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(i) \( I\gt \log_e99 \)
(ii) \( I\lt \log_e99 \)
(iii) \( I\lt \frac{49}{50} \)
(iv) \( I\gt \frac{49}{50} \)
Which of the statements are correct?
(a) (ii) and (iv) only
(b) (ii), (iii) and (iv) only
(c) Only (ii)
(d) Only (iv)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) (ii) and (iv) only
Explanation:
1. For \( x \) in \( [k, k+1], (k+1)/(x+1) \le 1 \), so \( \frac{k+1}{x(x+1)} \le \frac1x \) and I < \( \int_1^{99}\frac{dx}x = \ln99 \).
2. Also, for \( x \le k + 1, \frac{k+1}{x(x+1)} \ge \frac{1}{k+2} \), so I > \( \sum_{k=1}^{98}\frac1{k+2} \approx 3.69 \), which exceeds \( 49/50 \).
3. Numerically I \( \approx 4.29 \), which lies between \( 49/50 \) and \( \ln99 \approx 4.60 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Examine each statement separately before choosing the combination.
2. Test doubtful statements with a specific function or number.
(a) \( \frac12 \)
(b) \( \frac13 \)
(c) \( 1 \)
(d) \( \frac1e \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \frac13 \)
Explanation:
1. At \( x = 0, e^0f(0) = 2 \), so \( f(0) = 2 \) and \( (f^{-1})'(2) = 1/f'(0) \).
2. Differentiating: \( e^{-x}(f' - f) = \sqrt{x^4+1} \); at \( x = 0, f'(0) - 2 = 1 \), so \( f'(0) = 3 \).
3. \( (f^{-1})'(2) = 1/3 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Use \( f(0) = 2 \) and differentiate the defining equation.
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(i) \( I_1=\frac{\pi^2}8 \)
(ii) \( I_1=\frac{\pi^2}4 \)
(iii) \( I_1=I_2 \)
(iv) \( I_1\gt I_2 \)
Which of the statements are correct?
(a) Only (ii)
(b) (i), (ii) and (iii) only
(c) (ii) and (iii) only
(d) (ii), (iii) and (iv) only
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) (ii) and (iii) only
Explanation:
1. \( I_1 = \frac\pi2\int_0^\pi\frac{\sin x}{1+\cos^2x}dx = \frac\pi2[-\tan^{-1}\cos x]_0^\pi = \frac\pi2\cdot\frac\pi2 = \pi^2/4 \).
2. Since \( x^3 + (\pi - x)^3 = \pi(\pi^2 - 3\pi x + 3x^2) \), adding \( I_2 \) to its \( x \to \pi - x \) image gives \( 2I_2 = \pi\int_0^\pi\frac{\sin x}{1+\cos^2x}dx = \pi^2/2 \), so \( I_2 = \pi^2/4 = I_1 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Examine each statement separately before choosing the combination.
2. Test doubtful statements with a specific function or number.
(i) \( \sum_{r=1}^nf'(r)=3n^2+5n \) for all natural n
(ii) \( \sum_{r=1}^nf'(r)=6n^2+5n \) for all natural n
(iii) \( f(x)=3x^2+2x \) for all x \( \le \) 0
(iv) \( f(x)=3x^2-2x \) for all x \( \le \) 0
Which of the statements are correct?
(a) (i), (ii) and (iv) only
(b) (i), (iii) and (iv) only
(c) Only (iv)
(d) (i) and (iv) only
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) (i) and (iv) only
Explanation:
1. Differentiating \( \int_0^xf = x^2 + x^3 \) gives \( f(x) = 2x + 3x^2 \) for \( x \ge 0 \), so \( f'(r) = 2 + 6r \) and \( \sum_{r=1}^nf'(r) = 2n + 3n(n+1) = 3n^2 + 5n \).
2. \( f \) is even, so for \( x \le 0, f(x) = f(-x) = -2x + 3x^2 = 3x^2 - 2x \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Examine each statement separately before choosing the combination.
2. Test doubtful statements with a specific function or number.
(i) \( L_1=4 \)
(ii) \( L_1+L_2=8 \)
(iii) \( L_1+L_2=0 \)
(iv) \( |L_2|=|L_1| \)
Which of the statements are correct?
(a) (i), (iii) and (iv) only
(b) (i) and (iv) only
(c) (i) and (iii) only
(d) (iii) and (iv) only
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) (i), (iii) and (iv) only
Explanation:
1. The numerator is about \( \int_0^{x^2}\sqrt t\,dt = \frac23|x|^3 \) and the denominator is about \( x^3/6 \).
2. For \( x \to 0^+ \) the ratio tends to \( 4 \); for \( x \to 0^- \) the denominator is negative, so \( L_2 = -4 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Examine each statement separately before choosing the combination.
2. Test doubtful statements with a specific function or number.
(a) \( 3 \)
(b) \( 1 \)
(c) \( 0 \)
(d) \( 2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( 1 \)
Explanation:
1. \( \ln y_n = \frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n\ln\frac{n+k}n \to \int_0^1\ln(1+x)dx = 2\ln2 - 1 \).
2. \( L = 4/e \approx 1.47 \), so \( [L] = 1 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Take logarithms and form a Riemann sum.
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( 8\pi \)
(b) \( 5\pi \)
(c) \( 6\pi \)
(d) \( 7\pi \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( 6\pi \)
Explanation:
1. \( \int_0^\pi f''\sin x\,dx = [f'\sin x - f\cos x]_0^\pi - \int_0^\pi f\sin x\,dx = f(\pi) + f(0) - \int_0^\pi f\sin x\,dx \).
2. So the whole integral equals \( f(\pi) + f(0) = 7\pi \), giving \( f(0) = 6\pi \).
Teacher's Note:
1. The integral of \( f sin x \) cancels out.
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( \sqrt3-1 \)
(b) \( 3\sqrt3 \)
(c) \( \frac{3\pi}2-3 \)
(d) \( 3(\sqrt3-1) \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( 3(\sqrt3-1) \)
Explanation:
1. With \( x = \cos\theta, 4x^3 - 3x = \cos3\theta \). For \( x \ge 1/2 (\theta \le \pi/3), f = 3\cos^{-1}x \); for \( 0 \le x \le 1/2, f = 2\pi - 3\cos^{-1}x \).
2. \( \int_{1/2}^13\cos^{-1}x\,dx = \frac{3\sqrt3}2 - \frac\pi2 \) and \( \int_0^{1/2}(2\pi - 3\cos^{-1}x)dx = \pi - 3\left(\frac\pi6 - \frac{\sqrt3}2 + 1\right) \).
3. The total is \( 3\sqrt3 - 3 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Use \( x = cos(theta) \) and the branches of \( cos^{-1} \).
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( 1 \)
(b) \( -1 \)
(c) \( \frac12 \)
(d) \( 2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( 1 \)
Explanation:
1. Interchange the order of integration in \( A_1: \int_0^xf(t)\left(\int_t^xdu\right)dt = \int_0^xf(t)(x - t)dt = A_2 \).
2. Hence the ratio is \( 1 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. \( A_1 \) and \( A_2 \) are the same double integral.
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( \frac23 \)
(b) \( \frac32 \)
(c) \( \frac56 \)
(d) \( \frac12 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( \frac32 \)
Explanation:
1. The line meets the x-axis at \( x = -1 \) and meets the cosine curve at \( (0, 1) \); the cosine curve meets the x-axis at \( x = \pi/2 \).
2. Area = \( (triangle \) under the line, \( 1/2) + \int_0^{\pi/2}\cos x\,dx = 1/2 + 1 = 3/2 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. A triangle of area \( 1/2 \) plus the cosine arch of area \( 1 \).
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( \frac83 \)
(b) \( \frac{32}3 \)
(c) \( \frac{16}3 \)
(d) \( 0 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( \frac{16}3 \)
Explanation:
1. The curves meet at \( (0, 0) \) and \( (4, 4) \).
2. Area = \( \int_0^4\left(2\sqrt x - \frac{x^2}4\right)dx = \frac{32}3 - \frac{16}3 = \frac{16}3 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Subtract the lower curve from the upper.
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( \frac{25}3 \)
(b) \( \frac{125}6 \)
(c) \( \frac{250}3 \)
(d) \( \frac{125}3 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( \frac{125}3 \)
Explanation:
1. The identity \( 4t^2f(-1) + 4tf(1) + f(2) = 3t^2 + 3t \) holds for three values of \( t \), so it holds for all \( t: f(-1) = 3/4, f(1) = 3/4, f(2) = 0 \). Hence \( f(x) = 1 - x^2/4 \), with \( V = (0, 1) \).
2. Take A = \( (2, 0). B = (x, 1 - x^2/4) \) with \( \vec{VA}\cdot\vec{VB} = 0: 2x + x^2/4 = 0 \), so \( B = (-8, -15) \).
3. The area between a parabola \( y = -x^2/4 + \ldots \) and its chord over an x-range of \( 10 \) is \( \frac14\cdot\frac{10^3}6 = \frac{125}3 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Compare coefficients of the polynomial identity in \( t \).
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( \frac{64}{3} \)
(b) \( 16 \)
(c) \( \frac{128}{3} \)
(d) \( \frac{32}{3} \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( \frac{64}{3} \)
Explanation:
1. \( \sqrt3\sin x \ge \cos x \) for \( x \ge \pi/6 \), so \( U = \int_{\pi/6}^{\pi/2}\sqrt3\sin x\,dx = \sqrt3\cos(\pi/6) = 3/2 \).
2. \( V = \int_1^5x^2dx - \int_{-3}^1x^2dx = 124/3 - 28/3 = 32 \).
3. \( \lambda = 32/(3/2) = 64/3 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. \( U = 3/2 \) and \( V = 32 \).
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( 1 \)
(b) \( 2 \)
(c) \( 4 \)
(d) \( \sqrt3 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( 2 \)
Explanation:
1. The integrand is \( \frac{1+\sqrt3}{(x+1)^{1/2}(1-x)^{3/2}} \). Put \( t = \frac{1+x}{1-x}, dt = \frac{2\,dx}{(1-x)^2} \).
2. Then \( \frac{dx}{(1+x)^{1/2}(1-x)^{3/2}} = \frac{dt}{2\sqrt \) t}, and \( t \) runs from \( 1 \) to \( 3 \).
3. The value is \( (1+\sqrt3)[\sqrt t]_1^3 = (1+\sqrt3)(\sqrt3 - 1) = 2 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. The substitution \( t = (1+x)/(1-x) \) removes both factors.
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( 2\ln2-4 \)
(b) \( 6-2\ln2 \)
(c) \( 6-4\ln2 \)
(d) \( 4\ln2-2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \( 6-4\ln2 \)
Explanation:
1. The region is inside the square \( [0,2] x [0,2]. e^x \) reaches \( 2 \) at \( x = \ln2 \), and \( \ln x \) is positive only for \( x \gt 1 \).
2. Area = \( \int_0^{\ln2}e^xdx + 2(2 - \ln2) - \int_1^2\ln x\,dx = 1 + (4 - 2\ln2) - (2\ln2 - 1) = 6 - 4\ln2 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Cut off at \( y = 2 \) and subtract the area below \( ln x \).
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(i) \( 2\alpha^4-4\alpha^2+1=0 \)
(ii) \( \alpha^4+4\alpha^2-1=0 \)
(iii) \( \frac12\lt \alpha\lt 1 \)
(iv) \( 0\lt \alpha\le\frac12 \)
Which of the statements are correct?
(a) Only (i)
(b) (i), (iii) and (iv) only
(c) Only (iii)
(d) (i) and (iii) only
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) (i) and (iii) only
Explanation:
1. Area of \( R = \int_0^1(x - x^3)dx = 1/4 \). Half of it: \( \frac{\alpha^2}2 - \frac{\alpha^4}4 = \frac18 \), i.e. \( 2\alpha^4 - 4\alpha^2 + 1 = 0 \).
2. \( \alpha^2 = 1 - \frac{\sqrt2}2 \approx 0.293 \), so \( \alpha \approx 0.54 \), which lies in \( (1/2, 1) \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Examine each statement separately before choosing the combination.
2. Test doubtful statements with a specific function or number.
(a) \( \frac12(\sqrt3-1) \)
(b) \( \frac12(\sqrt2-1) \)
(c) \( \frac12(\sqrt3+1) \)
(d) \( \frac12(\sqrt3-\sqrt2) \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) \( \frac12(\sqrt3-1) \)
Explanation:
1. The roots are \( \alpha = \pi/6 \) and \( \beta = \pi/3. (g o f)(x) = \cos((\sqrt x)^2) = \cos x \).
2. Area = \( \int_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3}\cos x\,dx = \sin\frac\pi3 - \sin\frac\pi6 = \frac{\sqrt3 - 1}2 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. The composition simplifies to \( cos x \).
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(a) \( 4 \)
(b) \( 1 \)
(c) \( 2 \)
(d) \( 6 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (b) \( 1 \)
Explanation:
1. \( \log(36 - 12x + x^2) = \log(6 - x)^2 \). The sum of the limits is \( 6 \), and \( x \to 6 - x \) swaps the two logarithms.
2. So the integral is half the interval length: \( (4 - 2)/2 = 1 \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Use the a + \( b - x \) property.
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
(i) \( f\left(\frac12\right)\ge f(1) \)
(ii) \( f\left(\frac13\right)\le f\left(\frac23\right) \)
(iii) \( f'(2)\le0 \)
(iv) \( \frac{f'(3)}{f(3)}\ge\frac{f'(2)}{f(2)} \)
Which of the statements are correct?
(a) Only (iii)
(b) (ii), (iii) and (iv) only
(c) (ii) and (iii) only
(d) Only (ii)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) (ii) and (iii) only
Explanation:
1. Taking logarithms and using a Riemann sum: \( \ln f(x) = x\int_0^1[\ln(1+xs) - \ln(1+x^2s^2)]ds = (1+x)\ln(1+x) - x\ln(1+x^2) + x - 2\tan^{-1}x \).
2. Differentiating, \( (\ln f)' = \ln\frac{1+x}{1+x^2} \), which is positive for \( 0 \lt x \lt 1 \) and negative for \( x \gt 1 \). So \( f \) increases on \( (0, 1) \) and decreases on \( (1, \infty) \).
3. Thus \( f(1/2) \lt f(1) (i false), f(1/3) \lt f(2/3) (ii true), f'(2) \lt 0 (iii true) \), and \( (\ln f)'(3) = \ln0.4 \lt (\ln f)'(2) = \ln0.6 (iv false) \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Examine each statement separately before choosing the combination.
2. Test doubtful statements with a specific function or number.
(a) \( x+y=1 \)
(b) \( y=x \)
(c) \( y=x+1 \)
(d) \( y=x-1 \)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (d) \( y=x-1 \)
Explanation:
1. \( y(1) = \int_1^1t^2dt = 0 \).
2. \( dy/dx = 2x(x^2)^2 - x^2 = 2x^5 - x^2 \), which is \( 1 \) at \( x = 1 \).
3. The tangent is \( y = 1\cdot(x - 1) \).
Teacher's Note:
1. Evaluate \( y \) and the slope at \( x = 1 \).
2. Verify the final value with a quick numerical or limiting check.
