If y = x sinx, find dy/dx when x = π/2.

A.

-π/2

B.

-1

C.

1

D.

π/2

Correct answer is C

y = x sin x
dy/dx = 1 x sinx + x cosx
= sinx + x cosx
At x = π/2, = sin (π/2) + (π/2) cos (π/2)
= 1 + (π/2) x (0) = 1

Find the rate of change of the volume, V of a sphere with respect to its radius, r when r = 1

A.

12π

B.

C.

24π

D.

Correct answer is B

Volume of sphere, V = 4/3 x πr3
Rate of change of V = dv/dr
Thus if V = 4/3 x πr3,
=> dv/dr = 4πr2

At r = 1, Rate = 4 x π x 1 = 4π

Find the area bounded by the curves y = 4 - x2 and y = 2x + 1

A.

20(1/3) sq. units

B.

20(2/3) sq. units

C.

10(2/3) sq. units

D.

10(1/3) sq. units

Correct answer is C

y = 4 - x\(^2\) and y = 2x + 1
=> 4 - x2 = 2x + 1
=> x2 + 2x - 3 = 0
(x+3)(x-1) = 0
thus x = 1 or x = -3.

Integrating x\(^2\) + 2x - 3  

= 3x - x\(^2\) - \(\frac{x^3}{3}\)   from (1, to -3) : 3 (1) - 1\(^2\) - \(\frac{1^3}{3}\)   -    3 (-3)  -  -3\(^2\) - \(\frac{-3^3}{3}\)  = \(\frac{5}{3}\) + 9   will give 32/3 = 10 \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Differentiate \((2x+5)^{2} (x-4)\) with respect to x.

A.

4(2x+5)(x-4)

B.

4(2x+5)(4x-3)

C.

(2x+5)(2x-13)

D.

(2x+5)(6x-11)

Correct answer is D

\(y = (2x + 5)^{2} (x - 4)\)

\(\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm d x} = (2x + 5)^{2} (1) + (x - 4)(2)(2)(2x + 5)\)

= \((2x + 5)(2x + 5 + 4x - 16)\)

= \((2x + 5)(6x - 11)\)

Evaluate \(\int 2(2x - 3)^{\frac{2}{3}} \mathrm d x\)

A.

3/5(2x-3)5/3 + k

B.

6/5(2x-3)5/3 + k

C.

2x-3+k

D.

2(2x-3)+k

Correct answer is A

\(\int 2(2x - 3)^{\frac{2}{3}} \mathrm d x\)

Let \(u = 2x - 3\)

\(\mathrm d u = 2 \mathrm d x\)

= \(\int u^{\frac{2}{3}} \mathrm d u\)

= \(\frac{u^{\frac{5}{3}}}{\frac{5}{3}} + k\)

= \(\frac{3}{5} (2x - 3)^{\frac{5}{3}} + k\)
