a.   \(\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2x\,\tan\,x + x^2\,\sec^{2}x\)

b.   \(x^{2}\tan^{2}x-\dfrac{x^{3}}{3}+x+C\)

Show Worked Solution

a.  \(y=x^{2}\tan\,x\)

\(\text{By product rule:}\)

\(\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2x\,\tan\,x + x^2 \sec^{2}x\)
 

b.   \(\displaystyle \int (x\,\tan\,x+1)^{2}\,dx\)

\[=\int x^2\tan^{2}x + 2x\,\tan\,x +1\ dx\]

\[=\int x^{2}(\sec^{2}x-1)+2x\,\tan\,x +1\,dx\]

\[=\int 2x\,\tan\,x + x^{2}\sec^{2}x-x^{2}+1\,dx\]

\[=x^{2}\tan\,x-\dfrac{x^{3}}{3}+x+C\]

  1. `- tan x`
  2. `- log_e (1/sqrt2)\ \ text(or)\ \ 0.35\ \ text{(2 d.p.)}`
Show Worked Solution
i.    `y` `= log_e (cos x)`
  `dy/dx` `= (- sin x)/(cos x)`
    `= – tan x`

 

ii.    `int_0^(pi/4) tan x\ dx`
  `= – [log_e (cos x)]_0^(pi/4)`
  `= – [log_e(cos (pi/4)) – log_e (cos 0)]`
  `= – [log_e (1/sqrt2) – log_e 1]`
  `= – [log_e (1/sqrt2) – 0]`
  `= – log_e (1/sqrt2)`
  `= 0.346…`

  1.  Differentiate  `3 + sin 2x`.    (1 mark)

  2.  Hence, or otherwise, find  `int (cos2x)/(3 + sin 2x)\ dx`.    (2 marks)

  1. `2 cos 2x`
  2. `ln (3 + sin 2x)^(1/2) + C`
Show Worked Solution
i. `y` `= 3 + sin 2x`
  `dy/dx` `= 2 cos 2x`

 

ii. `int (cos 2x)/(3 + sin 2x)\ dx`
  `= 1/2 int (2 cos 2x)/(3 + sin 2x)\ dx`
  `= 1/2  ln (3 + sin 2x) + C\ \ \ \ \ text{(from part (i))}`
