`f(x)= 1/3 sin\ 3x + 2/3`

Show Worked Solution
`int f(x)\ dx` `=int cos\ 3x\ dx`
  `= 1/3 sin\ 3x + c`
`f(pi/6)`  `= 1/3\ [sin\ (3 xx pi/6) ]+ c`
`1`  `= 1/3\ sin\ pi/2+c`
`c`  `= 2/3`

 
`:.f(x)= 1/3 sin\ 3x + 2/3`

The function with rule  `g(x)`  has derivative  `g^{prime} (x) = sin (2 pi x).`

Given that  `g(1) = 1/pi`, find  `g(x).`   (2 marks)

`(3-cos (2 pi x))/(2 pi)`

Show Worked Solution
`g^{prime} (x)` `= int sin (2 pi x) dx`
  `= (-cos (2 pi x))/(2 pi) + c`
MARKER’S COMMENT: Mistakes in combining the two fractions for `c` were common.

 

`text(Substitute)\ \ (1, 1/pi)\ \ text(into)\  g prime(x):`

`1/pi` `= (-cos (2 pi))/(2 pi) + c`
`1/pi` `= -1/(2 pi) + c`
 `:. c` `= 3/(2 pi)`

 

`:. g(x) = (3-cos (2 pi x))/(2 pi)`

If  `f^{prime}(x) = 2cos(x)-sin(2x)`  and  `f(pi/2) = 1/2`,  find  `f(x)`.   (3 marks)

`2sinx + 1/2cos(2x)-1`

Show Worked Solution
`f(x)` `= int(2cosx-sin2x)dx`
  `= 2sinx + 1/2cos(2x) + c`

  
`text(Substitute)\ \ f(pi/2) = 1/2:`

`1/2` `= 2sin(pi/2) + 1/2cos(pi) + c`
`1/2` `= 2-1/2 + c`
`c` `=-1`
`:. f(x)` `= 2sinx + 1/2cos(2x)-1`
