[30] 1. Short-Answer Problems. Put your answer in the box provided but show your work also. Each question is worth 3 marks, but not all questions are of equal difficulty. Full marks will be given for correct answers placed in the box, but at most 1 mark will be given for incorrect answers. Simplify your answers as much as possible in this question.
(a) Evaluate the definite integral: (^) ∫ 0
− 1
x^2
1 + x^3 dx.
Answer:
(b) Find the derivative f ′(t), if f (t) =
t^4
1 + x^3 dx.
Answer:
(c) Find the average value of the function on the given interval:
f (x) = xex, [0, 2].
Answer:
(g) How many terms of the convergent series
n=1 n − (^3) are needed to ensure that the sum is accurate to within (^) 20 000^1?
Answer:
(h) Find all real numbers p so that the series is convergent:
∑^ ∞
n=
(−1)n−^1
np^
2 p^
3 p^
4 p^
Answer:
(i) Determine whether the series is absolutely convergent, conditionally convergent, or divergent:
∑^ ∞
n=
(−2011)n n!
Answer:
(j) Find the first three nonzero terms of the Maclaurin series (power series in x) for
f (x) = x^3 sin(x^3 ).
Answer:
Full-Solution Problems. In questions 2–8, justify your answers and show all your work. If a box is provided, write your final answer there. Unless otherwise indicated, simplification of answers is not required in these questions.
[8] 2. (a) Find the total area of the finite plane region lying between the curves y = x and y = x^3.
(b) Consider a solid whose base in the xy-plane is the finite region bounded by the curves y = x^2 and y = 2 − x^2. The cross sections of the solid perpendicular to the x-axis with one side in the xy-plane are squares. Find the volume of this solid.

[24] 4. (a) Evaluate the integral (hint: put u =
x) ∫ √ x x − 1
dx.
(b) Evaluate the integral (^) ∫ x^3
1 + x^2 dx.
[8] 5. Bird-Bath and Beyond Incorporated is famous for its Quetzal attracting bird-feeder solution made from water, honey and cane-sugar. To make their solution, both honey and a cane-sugar solution are poured into a 200 mixing tank. The honey is poured in at a rate of 1 per minute while the sugar solution is poured in at 9 per minute. Note that 1 of honey contains 1 kg of sugar, while the cane-sugar solution contains 100 g of sugar per . Unfortunately today there is a problem with the mixing tank. It was thoroughly cleaned and is initially filled with pure water, but main valve was broken and the water cannot be drained. When the mixing process is started, the honey and sugar-solutions are poured into the tank, and the excess fluid flows out of an emergency valve at 10 per minute and onto the floor. You should assume that the solutions mix immediately and thoroughly in the tank.
(a) Give a differential equation that is satisfied by the amount of sugar in the tank after time t.
(b) How much sugar is in the tank after time t?
(c) The bird feeder solution can only be sold if there is at least 30 kg of sugar in the 200 ` tank. If the flow of sugar solution and honey is switched off after 20 minutes, can the result be sold?

[4] 7. Evaluate (^) ∫ 2
− 1
(x − 1) dx
using a limit of Riemann sums. No credit will be given for using another method (but you can use another method to check your answer). You may use the formulas
∑^ n
i=
i = n(n + 1) 2 and
∑^ n
i=
i^2 = n(n + 1)(2n + 1) 6
[6] 8. Find (a) the radius of convergence, and (b) the interval of convergence of the following power series, carefully justifying your answer:
∑^ ∞
n=
(x − 2)n ln(n + 2)
