Question 1

(a) Prove that this function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑒𝑥 cos(𝑦), satisfy the Laplace Equation of

𝑓𝑥𝑥 + 𝑓𝑦𝑦 = 0.

(5 marks)

(b) The pressure P, volume V, and temperature T of a confined gas is governed by the
equation, 𝑃=𝑘𝑇𝑉−1 where k is a constant. Determine the approximate percentage error
(%) in P if T increases by 3% and V decreases by 5%.
(7 marks)

(c) A container in the shape of a prism of length 100 cm and its cross-section is an inverted

isosceles triangle. The formula of prism is given by

𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ. Water is being poured into the container and the base and height of the triangle
is increasing at the constant rate of 2 cm per minute and 3 cm per minute, respectively.
Calculate the rate at which the volume of the water is increasing when the base and height
of the triangle is 4 cm and 5 cm, respectively.
(8 marks)

Question 2

(a) The region bounded by the curve 𝑦 = 1 + 𝑥2 and the line 𝑥 = 3 − 𝑦 is rotated 360°
about the x-axis. Determine the volume of the solid using the rings/disks method.
(8 marks)
