3 Easy4 Medium3 Hard
Q1Easy3 marks

Find \( \displaystyle\int e^{2x}\, dx \).

\( \dfrac{1}{2}e^{2x}+C \).

Q2Easy4 marks

Find \( \displaystyle\int \sin 3x\, dx \).

\( -\dfrac{1}{3}\cos 3x + C \).

Q3Easy4 marks

Evaluate \( \displaystyle\int_0^1 \dfrac{1}{1+x}\, dx \).

\( [\ln|1+x|]_0^1=\ln 2 \).

Q4Medium5 marks

Use integration by parts to find \( \displaystyle\int x e^x\, dx \).

\( xe^x - \int e^x\, dx = xe^x - e^x + C = e^x(x-1)+C \).

Q5Medium5 marks

Use the substitution \( u=1+x^2 \) to find \( \displaystyle\int \dfrac{2x}{1+x^2}\, dx \).

\( \int \dfrac{1}{u}\, du = \ln|1+x^2| + C \).

Q6Medium5 marks

Express \( \dfrac{3}{(x-1)(x+2)} \) in partial fractions and hence integrate.

\( \dfrac{1}{x-1}-\dfrac{1}{x+2} \). Integral \( \ln\left|\dfrac{x-1}{x+2}\right|+C \).

Q7Medium6 marks

Solve the differential equation \( \dfrac{dy}{dx}=3y \) given that \( y=2 \) when \( x=0 \).

\( \dfrac{1}{y}dy=3\,dx \) ⇒ \( \ln|y|=3x+C \). \( y=Ae^{3x} \). \( A=2 \). \( y=2e^{3x} \).

Q8Hard6 marks

Find \( \displaystyle\int x\cos x\, dx \).

Parts: \( x\sin x - \int\sin x\, dx = x\sin x + \cos x + C \).

Q9Hard7 marks

Evaluate \( \displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2} x\sin x\, dx \).

\( [-x\cos x]_0^{\pi/2} + \int_0^{\pi/2}\cos x\, dx = 0 + [ \sin x ]_0^{\pi/2}=1 \).

Q10Hard8 marks

Solve \( \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{y}{x+1} \) given \( y=4 \) when \( x=0 \).

\( \dfrac{1}{y}dy=\dfrac{1}{x+1}dx \) ⇒ \( \ln|y|=\ln|x+1|+C \) ⇒ \( y=A(x+1) \). \( A=4 \). \( y=4(x+1) \).
