Module 3

x 22 x 3
1. a) Evaluate lim 2
x 3 x 4 x +3

b) use the result that ( x+ h+ x ) ( x+ h x )=h to show that

( x+ h ) x 1
lim =
h0 h 2x

c) find the real values of x for which the function

x
f ( x )= 2
x 2 x8 is discontinuous.

2. a) Differentiate with respect to x

5
( x 2+ 7 ) + sin3x

b) given that y= 5 x 2+3

dy
i. obtain dx
dy
=5 x
ii. show that y dx

iii. hence or other wise show that

d 2 y dy 2
y
dx
2
+( )
dx
=5

3. a) find the stationary points of the curve

f ( x )=x 33 x +2

b) determine the nature of the stationary points.

c) show that the curve f(x) touches the x- axis at x=1
3
d) sketch the curve, f(x) x 3 x+2, -2 x 2

e) find the area bounded by this curve and the x-axis for -2 x 1
