Exam questions on Integration as the reverse of differentiation

  1. A curve has gradient function dydx=6x2−4x+5\frac{dy}{dx}=6x^{2}-4x+5 and passes through the point (1,7)(1,7).
    Find the yy-coordinate of the point on the curve where x=2x=2.2 marks
  2. A curve y=f(x)y=f(x), for x>0x>0, has gradient function f′(x)=(x−1)2xf'(x)=\frac{(x-1)^{2}}{\sqrt x} and passes through the point (1,2)(1,2).
    Find an equation of the curve.2 marks
  3. A curve y=f(x)y=f(x), for x>0x>0, has gradient function f′(x)=3x2−6x3f'(x)=3x^{2}-\frac{6}{x^{3}} and passes through the point (1,2)(1,2).
    Find f(x)f(x).3 marks
