your tutor on or before the cut-off date, and to pay the correct postage
charge to cover the weight and size of the TMA and its envelope. Do not
use recorded delivery. You are advised to keep a copy of your answers in
case of loss in the mail, to obtain proof of posting, and to keep all your

TMA MST121 03 Cut-off date 06 July 2011
This assignment covers Block C. It has six questions.
Question 1 – 20marks
You should be able to answer this question after studying Chapter C1.
This question concerns the function
f(x) = x3 - 15x2 + 48x+ 29.
(a) Find the stationary points of this function. [6]
(b) (i) Using the strategy to apply the First Derivative Test, classify the
left-hand stationary point found in part (a). [4]
(ii) Using the Second Derivative Test, classify the right-hand
stationary point found in part (a). [3]
(c) Find the y-coordinate of each of the stationary points on the graph of
the function f(x), and also evaluate f(0). [3]
(d) Hence draw a rough sketch of the graph of the function f(x). [4]
Question 2 – 15marks
You should be able to answer this question after studying Chapter C1.
In each of the following parts, you should simplify your answers where it is
appropriate to do so.
(a) (i) Write down the derivative of each of the functions
- f(x) = e 3x and g(x) = ln(6x) (x > 0). [2]
(ii) Hence, by using the Product Rule, differentiate the function
k(x) = e
-3x ln(6x) (x > 0). [2]
(b) (i) Write down the derivative of each of the functions
f(t) = 2 - t2 and g(t) = cos(4t). [2]
(ii) Hence, by using the Quotient Rule, differentiate the function
2 - t2
k(t) = (-1p < t < 1p). [3] cos(4t) 8 8
(c) (i) Write down the derivative of the function
5
f(x) = (x > 0). [1]
x
(ii) Hence, by using the Composite Rule, differentiate the function
5
k(x) = sin (x > 0). [5]

Question 3 – 10marks
You should be able to answer this question after studying Chapter C1.
In the quadrilateral PQRS shown below, the sides QR and PS each have
length 1 metre, the side RS has length 2 metres, and the angle at R is a
right angle. The point P is a perpendicular distance x metres from QR.
The value of x is between 1 and 3. (The quadrilateral described cannot
exist for other values of x.)
Q

x
A(x)
P
1 1
R S
The total area A(x)m2 of the quadrilateral is given by
A(x) = 1x+ (x - 1)(3 - x) (1< x < 3). 2
(You are not asked to derive this formula.)
For parts (a) and (b) (and for part (c), if you use Mathcad there) you
should provide a printout annotated with enough explanation to make it
clear what you have done.
Note: If you define x to be a range variable in part (a) and wish to use x
in a symbolic calculation in part (b), then you will need to insert the
definition x := x between the two parts in your worksheet. (For more
details, see the bottom of page 49 in Guide to Mathcad.)
(a) Use Mathcad to obtain the graph of the function A(x). [2]
(b) This part of the question requires the use of Mathcad in each sub-part.
(i) By using the differentiation facility, and if you wish the symbolic
keyword ‘simplify’, find an expression for the derivative A(x). [2]
(ii) By either applying a solve block or solving symbolically, find a
value of x for which A(x) = 0. [2]
(iii) Verify, by the Second Derivative Test, that this value of x
corresponds to a local maximum of A(x). (It should be apparent
from the graph obtained in part (a) that this is also an overall
maximum within the domain of A(x).) [2]
(c) Using Mathcad, or otherwise, calculate the maximum possible area of
the quadrilateral, according to the model. [2]
14

Question 4 – 25marks
You should be able to answer this question after studying Chapter C2.
(a) Find the indefinite integrals of the following functions.
(i) f(t) = 14 sin(7t) + 5e-15t [3]
8 + 39x3
(ii) g(x) = (x > 0) [4]
x
(iii) h(u) = sin2 1u [6] 8
6
(b) Evaluate x(8 - 5x2) dx. [6]
2
(c) (i) Write down a definite integral that will give the value of the area
under the curve y = x3 cos(6x) between x = 1p and x = 1p. [2] 4 3
(The expression x3 cos(6x) takes no negative values for
1p = x = 1p. You are not asked to evaluate the integral by 4 3
hand.)
Provide a printout of your working for part (c)(ii).
(ii) Use Mathcad to find the area described in part (c)(i), giving your
answer correct to four significant figures. [4]
Question 5 – 10marks
You should be able to answer this question after studying Chapter C2.
A rocket is modelled by a particle that moves along a vertical line. From
launch, the rocket rises until its motor cuts out after 9 seconds. At this
time it has reached a height of 380 metres above the launch pad and
attained an upward velocity of 40ms-1. From this time on, the rocket has
a constant upward acceleration of -10ms-2 (due to the effect of gravity
alone).
Choose the s-axis (for the position of the particle that represents the
rocket) to point upwards, with origin at the launch pad. Take t = 0 to be
the time when the rocket motor cuts out.
(a) What is the maximum height (above the launch pad) reached by the
rocket? [4]
(b) How long (from launch) does the rocket take to reach this maximum
height? [2]
(c) After how long (from launch) does the rocket crash on to the launch
pad? Give your answer in seconds correct to one decimal place. [4]
15

Question 6 – 20marks
You should be able to answer this question after studying Chapter C3.
(a) Solve the initial-value problem
dy cos(3x)
= , y= 2 when x = 0.
dx 2 - sin(3x)
(You may find equation (2.4) in Chapter C2 helpful when integrating.) [6]
(b) (i) Using equation (2.3) in Chapter C2, show that
ex + e-2x
dx = -(2ex - e
-2x)-1/2 + c,
(2ex - e-2x)3/2
where c is an arbitrary constant. [2]
(ii) Hence find, in implicit form, the general solution of the
differential equation
5/4 -2x dy 2y ex + e
= (y > 0). [5]
dx (2ex - e-2x)3/2
(iii) Find the corresponding particular solution (in implicit form) that
satisfies the initial condition y = 16 when x = 0. [3]
(iv) Find the explicit form of this particular solution. [2]
(v) What is the value of y given by this particular solution when
x = 1? Give your answer to four significant figures. [2] 2
