Intersections: $x^2 - 4x + 5 = 5 \Rightarrow x^2 - 4x = 0 \Rightarrow x(x - 4) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0, 4$
Area = $\int_0^4 [5 - (x^2 - 4x + 5)] \, dx = \int_0^4 (-x^2 + 4x) \, dx$
$= \left[-\frac{1}{3}x^3 + 2x^2\right]_0^4$
$= \left(-\frac{64}{3} + 32\right) - 0 = -\frac{64}{3} + \frac{96}{3} = \frac{32}{3}$
Answer: $\frac{32}{3}$ units² or 10.67 units² [4]
Marking: 1 mark for correct integrand (top minus bottom), 1 mark for correct limits, 1 mark for integration, 1 mark for correct evaluation

18. Acceleration $a = 6t - 12$, starts from rest at $t = 0$

(a) $v = \int a \, dt = \int (6t - 12) \, dt = 3t^2 - 12t + c$
At $t = 0$, $v = 0 \Rightarrow c = 0$
$v = 3t^2 - 12t$
Answer: $v = 3t^2 - 12t$ [2]
Marking: 1 mark for integration, 1 mark for using initial condition

(b) $s = \int v \, dt = \int (3t^2 - 12t) \, dt = t^3 - 6t^2 + c$
At $t = 0$, $s = 0 \Rightarrow c = 0$
$s = t^3 - 6t^2$
Answer: $s = t^3 - 6t^2$ [2]
Marking: 1 mark for integration, 1 mark for using initial condition

(c) Distance in first 4 seconds: Need to check if particle changes direction
$v = 3t^2 - 12t = 3t(t - 4)$
$v = 0$ at $t = 0$ and $t = 4$
For $0 < t < 4$, $v < 0$ (particle moves in negative direction)
Distance = $|s(4) - s(0)| = |64 - 96 - 0| = |-32| = 32$ m
Answer: 32 m [2]
Marking: 1 mark for checking direction change, 1 mark for correct distance calculation

19. Area under $y = 4x - x^2$ from $x = 0$ to $x = 4$

$x$-intercepts: $4x - x^2 = 0 \Rightarrow x(4 - x) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0, 4$
Area = $\int_0^4 (4x - x^2) \, dx = \left[2x^2 - \frac{1}{3}x^3\right]_0^4$
$= \left(2(16) - \frac{64}{3}\right) - 0 = 32 - \frac{64}{3} = \frac{96 - 64}{3} = \frac{32}{3}$
Answer: $\frac{32}{3}$ units² or 10.67 units² [3]
Marking: 1 mark for correct limits, 1 mark for correct integration, 1 mark for correct evaluation

20. $\frac{dV}{dr} = 4\pi r^2$, $V = 0$ when $r = 0$

$V = \int 4\pi r^2 \, dr = 4\pi \cdot \frac{r^3}{3} + c = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 + c$
When $r = 0$, $V = 0 \Rightarrow c = 0$
$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$
Answer: $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ [3]
Marking: 1 mark for integration, 1 mark for using initial condition, 1 mark for final formula
