  1. [7+6 marks] Evaluate the following integrals using any method: a) $ \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2} }{\sin^{3} x \cos x \ dx }$. Two methods of Solution: 1) Let $ u =\sin x$, $ du = \cos x dx$. When $ x=0, u=0$ and when $ x=\pi/2$, then $ u=1$. The limits get changed from $ 0, \pi/2$ to $ 0, 1$. Thus,

    $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2} }{\sin^{3} x \cos x \ dx } = \int_{0}^{1}{u^3\ du} = \frac{1}{4}.$

    2) Proceed as above and find an antiderivative ... Thus,

    $\displaystyle \int{\sin^{3} x \cos x \ dx } = \int{u^3\ du} = \frac{u^4}{4} = \frac{\sin^4x}{4}.$

    Then, by definition of the definite integral, we get

    $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2} }{\sin^{3} x \cos x \ dx }= \frac{\sin^4x}{4}\bigg \vert _{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = \frac{1}{4}.$

    b) Evaluate $ \displaystyle \int{x^2\ 2^{2x^3+1}\ dx}$ using any method. Solution Let $ u = 2x^3+1, \ du = 6x^2 \ dx$. Then, solving for $ x^2\ dx$ we get $ x^2\ dx = \frac{du}{2}.$ Thus,

    $\displaystyle \int{x^2\ 2^{2x^3+1}\ dx }= \frac{1}{6} \int {2^u\ du} = \frac{1}{6} \frac{2^u}{\ln 2} + C = \frac{1}{6} \frac{2^{2x^3+1}}{\ln 2} + C.$

  2. Solve the following inequality using any method: [6 marks] (a) $ (x^2-1)(x-2) < 0.$ Solution We write $ p(x) = (x^2-1)(x-2) = (x-1)(x+1)(x-2)$. So, the SDT looks like:
      $ x-1$ $ x+1$ $ x-2$ Sign of $ p(x)$
    $ (-\infty, -1)$ $ -$ $ -$ $ -$ $ -$
    $ (-1, 1)$ $ -$ $ +$ $ -$ $ +$
    $ (1,2)$ $ +$ $ +$ $ -$ $ -$
    $ (2,\infty)$ $ +$ $ +$ $ +$ $ +$
    So, the solution is the set of points $ x$ such that either $ x < -1$ or $ 1 < x < 2$. [6 marks] (b) Sketch (1 mark) the graph of the function defined by $ \displaystyle f(x) = x^3 - 3x$ for $ x$ in the interval $ (-\infty, +\infty)$. Be sure to find all critical points (2 marks), points of inflection (1 mark), concavity intervals (1 mark) and intervals of monotonicity (1 mark). Solution $ f(x) = x(x^2-3) = x(x-\sqrt 3)(x+\sqrt 3)$. The zeros of $ f$ are at $ x = \pm \sqrt 3$ and $ x=0$. Next, $ f^{\prime}(x) = 3x^2-3 = 3(x^2-1) =0$ when $ x=\pm 1$. Thus, $ x=\pm 1$ are the only critical points (since $ f^{\prime}$ always exists in this case). Furthermore, $ f{\prime\prime}(x) = 6x$ and so the graph is concave up when $ x > 0$ and concave down when $ x < 0$. On the other hand, $ f{\prime\prime}(x) = 6x =0$ only when $ x=0$ and so this is indeed a point of inflection (since there is a change in concavity around $ x=0$). Finally, the graph is increasing when $ f^{\prime}(x) = 3x^2-3 = 3(x^2-1) > 0$, and this only happens if $ \vert x\vert > 1$ and decreasing when $ \vert x\vert < 1$. The graph looks like
