Question 1) (L.O.3.1): A study prepared for National Association of Realtors

estimates that the number of housing starts in the southwest, N (t) (in units of a
million), over the next 5 years is related to the mortgage rate r(t) (percent per year)
by the equation 9N 2 + r = 36, where t is measured in years. What is the rate of
change of the number of housing starts with respect to time when the mortgage rate
is 11% per year and is increasing at the rate of 1.5% per year?
Question 2) (L.O.2.1): The velocity of a dragster t sec after leaving the starting
line is v(t) = 80te−0.2t ft/sec. What is the distance traveled by the dragster during
the first 10 sec?
Question 3) (L.O.2.2): When a particle is located a distance x meter from the
x2 + 3x
origin, a force F (x) = (newton) acts on it. How much work is done
(x + 1)(x2 + 1)
in moving it from x = 1 to x = 10.
Question 4) (L.O.1.2): Find the number a such that the area of the region

bounded by the graph of x = (y − 1)2 and the line x = a is ·
2
Question 5) (L.O.1.1): Find the function f given that the slope of the tangent
line to the graph of f at any point (x, f (x)) is f 0 (x) = xe−3x and that the graph of
f passes through the point (0, 0).
Question 6) (L.O.2.1): Find the area of the region bounded by the x−axis and
x
the graph of the function f (x) =
(1 + x2 )2
Question 7) (L.O.3.1): A projectile is fired from a cannon located on a hor-
izontal plane. If we think of the cannon as being located at the origin O of an
√ x2
xy−coordinate system, then the path of the projectile is y = 3.x − ; where x
400
and y are measured in feet. Estimate the distance traveled by the projectile in the

Question 8) (L.O.3.2): The population of bacteria in a culture grows at a rate

that is proportional to the number present. Suppose that there are 1000 bacteria
present initially in a culture and 3000 present 2 hours later. How many bacteria will
there be in the culture after 4 hours?
Question 9) (L.O.2.2): Solve the differential equation y 00 − 4y 0 + 4y = 3e2x .

If t = 0, then N (0) = 1000 ⇒ C = 1000.
√
If t = 2, then N (2) = 3000 ⇒ e2k = 3 ⇒ ek = 3. Therefore,
√
N = 1000( 3)t = 1000 × 3t/2

If t = 4, then N (4) = 1000 × 32 = 9000.

Question 9. (1 mark)
Step 1. Solve the homogeneous equation y 00 − 4y 0 + 4y = 0.
The characteristic equation k 2 − 4k + 4 = 0 has 2 double real roots k1 = k2 = 2.
Step 2. The homogeneous solution is

yh = C1 e2x + C2 xe2x (0.5m)

Step 3. Find a particular solution of nonhomogeneous equation

y 00 − 4y 0 + 4y = 3e2x .

The particular solution has a form yp = xs .e2x .A. Since α = 2 is the double root
of characteristic equation then s = 2 and yp = A.x2 e−2x .

4 yp = Ax2 e2x
−4 yp0 = Ae2x (2x + 2x2 )
