Question 1

Paper 1, no calculatorEasy5 marks

The derivative of a function ff is

f′(x)=6x+2,x∈R,f'(x)=6x+2,\qquad x\in\mathbb{R},

and f(0)=3f(0)=3

(a)

Determine f(x)f(x)

[4]
(b)

Hence write down a definite integral representing the area bounded by the graph y=f(x)y=f(x) the xx-axis, x=0x=0 and x=2x=2 Do not evaluate the integral.

[1]

Question 2

Paper 1, no calculatorEasy7 marks

The curve y=x2−1y=x^2-1 the xx-axis and the lines x=−2x=-2 and x=2x=2 bound several regions.

(a)

Write down, without evaluating, an expression in terms of definite integrals for the total area of these regions.

[3]
(b)

Hence determine the exact total area of these regions.

[4]

Question 3

Paper 2, calculatorMedium6 marks

The curve CC has equation y=f(x)y=f(x) where

f(x)=x2−x−2.f(x)=x^2-x-2.
(a)

Find the xx-coordinates of the points where CC intersects the xx-axis.

[2]
(b)

Consider the region between CC and the xx-axis from x=−2x=-2 to x=3x=3

(i)

Write down an expression, as a sum or difference of definite integrals of ff for the total area of this region. Do not use absolute-value notation.

[2]
(ii)

Hence determine the total area exactly.
