Answer ALL questions of Section A and THREE questions from Section B. Section A carries 55 % of the available marks.
f (x) = ln(1 + x). Does this series converge to f (x) for x = 3? [3 marks]
(1 + ex)ydy − exdx = 0,
which satisfies the condition y(0) = 1. [3 marks] (b) Find the solution of the differential equation dy dx
with y(0) = −^32. [4 marks]
T (x, y) = x^2 + 3y^2 − 2 x.
Find the temperatures, and the coordinates, at the hottest and coldest points of the plate. [8 marks]
where D = {(x, y) : x^2 + y^2 ≤ 1 , y ≥ 0 }. [8 marks]

Hint: You can use the Cauchy Theorem: If f (x) and g(x) are functions defined on [a, b], differentiable in (a, b), continuous at x = a, x = b, and g′(x) ̸= 0 for all x ∈ (a, b), then there exists c ∈ (a, b) such that
f (b) − f (a) g(b) − g(a)

(a) x^2 y′′^ + xy′^ = 1, with y(1) = 0, y(2) = 1. (b) y′′^ + 9y = cos(3x), with y(0) = 0, y′(0) = 1. [15 marks]
1 + x + y − xy
[15 marks]
(a) Find the total mass of the plate D, provided the mass density is ρ(x, y) = y/(1 + x). (b) Find the centre of mass (x, y) of the plate D. [15 marks]
