CALCULUS 1 – FINAL EXAMINATION – SAMPLE QUESTION PAPER

This paper shows SAMPLE exam questions. In actual exams, Part 1 will contain 20 multiple choice
questions (total 60 points), Part 2 will contain three or four questions (total 40 points).

INSTRUCTIONS: Each student is allowed one double-sided sheet of reference material (size A4 or sim-
ilar) marked with their name and ID. A calculator is allowed only for Part 2. All other documents and
electronic devices are forbidden.

You must explain your answer in detail. No credit will be given for the answer alone.

1. (10 points) The start of the rainy season causes a rapid increase in the mosquito population. In a
certain village, the mosquito population growth rate r (in mosquitos per week) is modelled by the
function r(t) = 600 + 120e0.8t where t is time in weeks. If the initial population is 1000 mosquitos,
find the population after 3 weeks.

2. (10 points) Find the area of the region enclosed by the curves y = x2 − 2x and y = x + 4.

y = x+4 y = x+4 y = x + 4.

Thus the two intersection points are (−1, 3) and (4, 8). The area of the region enclosed by the two
