 Solutions for Final Calculus I Semester I 2015-16

Question 1. (15 marks) By L’Hopital’s rule,

x − sin x [ 00 ] 1 − cos x [ 00 ] sin x

lim = lim = lim
x→0 x(1 − cos x) x→0 1 − cos x + x sin x x→0 2 sin x + x cos x

[ 00 ] cos x 1
= lim = .
x→0 3 cos x − x sin x 3

Question 2. (10 marks)

Let the speed be v(t) where tRis time in seconds.
10
The distance travelled is s = 0 v(t) dt.
We approximate the integral using trapezoidal rule with ∆t = 1:
1 
s= 0 + 2(15 + 28 + 41 + 53 + 65 + 72 + 76 + 79 + 80) + 82 = 550 (m).

Question 3. (15 marks)

Let x be the total width and y the length of each room (in meters).
The total length of the walls is 2x + 4y = 120 so y = 30 − x2 .
2
The total area is A(x) = xy = x(30 − 12 x) = 30x − x2 .
Differentiating gives A0 (x) = 30 − x.
So A0 (x) > 0 if x < 30, A0 (30) = 0, and A0 (x) < 0 if x > 30. Hence the
maximum value of A(x) is A(30) = 30(30) − 12 302 = 450 and the maximum
possible total area of the warehouse is 450 m2 .

Then G(x) = −F (x4 ), and therefore, by the chain rule, we have

√ √
Hence√f 0 (x) = 0 ⇔ x = 4 − x2 ⇔√x = 2. Similarly, f 0 (x) > 0 when
x < 2 and f 0 (x) < 0 when x > 2. √ By the
√ First derivative test, the
maximum value of f (x) on [−2, 2] is f ( 2) = 2 2.
