Exam questions on Integrating standard functions

  1. A curve has gradient dydx=6e2x−4x\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=6e^{2x}-\frac{4}{x} for x>0x>0, and passes through the point (1, 3e2+1)(1,\,3e^2+1).
    Find the equation of the curve.2 marks
  2. Angles are in radians. A function is defined by f(x)=sin⁡3x+cos⁡x2f(x)=\sin3x+\cos\frac{x}{2}.
    Find the exact value of ∫0πf(x) dx\int_0^{\pi}f(x)\,\mathrm{d}x.2 marks
  3. Angles are in radians. Trigonometric identities are used to rewrite an expression before it is integrated.
    Show that ∫sin⁡2x dx=x2−sin⁡2x4+c\int\sin^2x\,\mathrm{d}x=\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\sin2x}{4}+c.3 marks
