Total Marks: 50

Section A: Differentiation Techniques (Questions 1–5)

1. y=4x3−2x−1+x1/2y = 4x^3 - 2x^{-1} + x^{1/2}

dydx=12x2+2x−2+12x−1/2\frac{dy}{dx} = 12x^2 + 2x^{-2} + \frac{1}{2}x^{-1/2}

=12x2+2x2+12x= 12x^2 + \frac{2}{x^2} + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}

[2 marks: 1 for correct derivative of each term; deduct 0.5 for simplification errors]

2. Let u=2x+1u = 2x + 1, then y=u5y = u^5.

dydx=5u4⋅dudx=5(2x+1)4⋅2=10(2x+1)4\frac{dy}{dx} = 5u^4 \cdot \frac{du}{dx} = 5(2x + 1)^4 \cdot 2 = 10(2x + 1)^4

[2 marks: 1 for chain rule setup, 1 for correct final answer]

3. Product rule: dydx=u′v+uv′\frac{dy}{dx} = u'v + uv' where u=x2u = x^2, v=sin⁡xv = \sin x.

dydx=2xsin⁡x+x2cos⁡x\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x \sin x + x^2 \cos x

[2 marks: 1 for correct application of product rule, 1 for correct derivatives]

4. Quotient rule: dydx=u′v−uv′v2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2} where u=exu = e^x, v=x+1v = x + 1.

dydx=ex(x+1)−ex(1)(x+1)2=ex(x+1−1)(x+1)2=xex(x+1)2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{e^x(x + 1) - e^x(1)}{(x + 1)^2} = \frac{e^x(x + 1 - 1)}{(x + 1)^2} = \frac{x e^x}{(x + 1)^2}

[3 marks: 1 for quotient rule setup, 1 for correct derivatives, 1 for simplification]

5. Chain rule: dydx=13x2+1⋅ddx(3x2+1)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{3x^2 + 1} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(3x^2 + 1)

[3 marks: 1 for recognizing derivative of ln, 1 for chain rule, 1 for simplification]

Section B: Applications of Differentiation (Questions 6–10)

6. y=x3−2x2+1y = x^3 - 2x^2 + 1

dydx=3x2−4x\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 - 4x

At x=2x = 2: dydx=3(4)−4(2)=12−8=4\frac{dy}{dx} = 3(4) - 4(2) = 12 - 8 = 4 (gradient of tangent)

At x=2x = 2: y=8−8+1=1y = 8 - 8 + 1 = 1

Equation of tangent: y−1=4(x−2)y - 1 = 4(x - 2)

y−1=4x−8y - 1 = 4x - 8

y=4x−7y = 4x - 7

[3 marks: 1 for derivative, 1 for gradient and point, 1 for equation]

7. y=2x3−9x2+12x−4y = 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x - 4

dydx=6x2−18x+12=6(x2−3x+2)=6(x−1)(x−2)\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x^2 - 18x + 12 = 6(x^2 - 3x + 2) = 6(x - 1)(x - 2)

Stationary points when dydx=0\frac{dy}{dx} = 0: x=1x = 1 or x=2x = 2

d2ydx2=12x−18\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 12x - 18

At x=1x = 1: d2ydx2=12−18=−6<0\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 12 - 18 = -6 < 0, so maximum.

y=2(1)−9(1)+12(1)−4=2−9+12−4=1y = 2(1) - 9(1) + 12(1) - 4 = 2 - 9 + 12 - 4 = 1

Maximum point: (1,1)(1, 1)

At x=2x = 2: d2ydx2=24−18=6>0\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 24 - 18 = 6 > 0, so minimum.

y=2(8)−9(4)+12(2)−4=16−36+24−4=0y = 2(8) - 9(4) + 12(2) - 4 = 16 - 36 + 24 - 4 = 0

Minimum point: (2,0)(2, 0)

[4 marks: 1 for derivative, 1 for solving stationary points, 1 for second derivative test, 1 for coordinates and nature]

8. y=x2+kx−1y = x^2 + kx^{-1}

dydx=2x−kx−2=2x−kx2\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - kx^{-2} = 2x - \frac{k}{x^2}

At stationary point x=2x = 2: dydx=0\frac{dy}{dx} = 0

2(2)−k4=0  ⟹  4=k4  ⟹  k=162(2) - \frac{k}{4} = 0 \implies 4 = \frac{k}{4} \implies k = 16

d2ydx2=2+2kx−3=2+2kx3\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 2 + 2kx^{-3} = 2 + \frac{2k}{x^3}

At x=2x = 2, k=16k = 16: d2ydx2=2+328=2+4=6>0\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 2 + \frac{32}{8} = 2 + 4 = 6 > 0

Therefore, the stationary point is a minimum.

9. V=43πr3V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

dVdr=4πr2\frac{dV}{dr} = 4\pi r^2

Given dVdt=50 cm3/s\frac{dV}{dt} = 50 \text{ cm}^3/\text{s}

By chain rule: dVdt=dVdr⋅drdt\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dr} \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}

50=4πr2⋅drdt50 = 4\pi r^2 \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}

When r=10r = 10: 50=4π(100)⋅drdt50 = 4\pi(100) \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}

drdt=50400π=18π≈0.0398 cm/s\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{50}{400\pi} = \frac{1}{8\pi} \approx 0.0398 \text{ cm/s}

[3 marks: 1 for dV/dr, 1 for chain rule setup, 1 for correct answer]

10. y=x3+3x2+3x+1=(x+1)3y = x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 1 = (x + 1)^3

dydx=3x2+6x+3=3(x2+2x+1)=3(x+1)2\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 + 6x + 3 = 3(x^2 + 2x + 1) = 3(x + 1)^2

Stationary points when dydx=0\frac{dy}{dx} = 0: 3(x+1)2=0  ⟹  x=−13(x + 1)^2 = 0 \implies x = -1 (only one solution)

d2ydx2=6x+6=6(x+1)\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 6x + 6 = 6(x + 1)

At x=−1x = -1: d2ydx2=0\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 0, so the second derivative test is inconclusive.

However, dydx=3(x+1)2≥0\frac{dy}{dx} = 3(x + 1)^2 \geq 0 for all xx, and equals zero only at x=−1x = -1. Since the gradient is positive on both sides of x=−1x = -1, this is a stationary point of inflexion.
