Integration by Parts

The document contains two questions related to integration by parts in calculus, focusing on finding areas under curves defined by specific equations. The first question involves calculating the area of a region bounded by the curve y = x ln x and a normal line at a given point, while the second question requires using the trapezium rule to estimate the area of a finite region bounded by another curve and specific lines. Each question includes parts that require both numerical estimation and exact area calculations, with a total of 20 marks available.

Q1.

Figure 2

Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve C with equation y = x ln x, x>0

The line l is the normal to C at the point P(e, e)

The region R, shown shaded in Figure 2, is bounded by the curve C, the line l and the x-axis.

Show that the exact area of R is Ae2 + B where A and B are rational numbers to be found.

Q2.

Figure 4

Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve C with equation

The finite region S, shown shaded in Figure 4, is bounded by the curve C, the line with
equation x = 1, the x-axis and the line with equation x = 3

The table below shows corresponding values of x and y with the values of y given to 4
decimal places as appropriate.

(a) Use the trapezium rule, with all the values of y in the table, to obtain an estimate for the
area of S, giving your answer to 3 decimal places.
(3)
(b) Explain how the trapezium rule could be used to obtain a more accurate estimate for
the area of S.
(1)

(c) Show that the exact area of S can be written in the form + lnc, where a, b and c are
integers to be found.
(6)
(In part c, solutions based entirely on graphical or numerical methods are not acceptable.)
