TopicNumerical integration
TypeComplete table then apply trapezium rule
DifficultyStandard +0.2 This is a straightforward multi-part question requiring routine techniques: substituting into a given function, applying the trapezium rule formula, and performing a standard substitution for integration. The substitution is explicitly suggested, and all steps follow standard C4 procedures with no novel problem-solving required. Slightly easier than average due to the guided nature.

\end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation \(y = \frac { 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } } { 3 \sqrt { } \left( 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right) }\) The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis, the line \(x = - 3 \ln 2\) and the \(y\)-axis. The table below shows corresponding values of \(x\) and \(y\) for \(y = \frac { 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } } { 3 \sqrt { } \left( 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right) }\)

  1. Complete the table above by giving the missing value of \(y\) to 4 decimal places.
  2. Use the trapezium rule, with all the values of \(y\) in the completed table, to obtain an estimate for the area of \(R\), giving your answer to 2 decimal places.
    1. Using the substitution \(u = 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }\), or otherwise, find $$\int \frac { 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } } { 3 \sqrt { } \left( 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right) } \mathrm { d } x$$
    2. Hence find the value of the area of \(R\).

Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $y = \frac { 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } } { 3 \sqrt { } \left( 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right) }$\\
The finite region $R$, shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve, the $x$-axis, the line $x = - 3 \ln 2$ and the $y$-axis.

The table below shows corresponding values of $x$ and $y$ for $y = \frac { 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } } { 3 \sqrt { } \left( 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right) }$

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ | c | c | c | c | c | }
\hline
$x$ & $- 3 \ln 2$ & $- 2 \ln 2$ & $- \ln 2$ & 0 \\

$y$ & 2.1333 &  & 1.0079 & 0.6667 \\

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Complete the table above by giving the missing value of $y$ to 4 decimal places.
\item Use the trapezium rule, with all the values of $y$ in the completed table, to obtain an estimate for the area of $R$, giving your answer to 2 decimal places.
\item \begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
\item Using the substitution $u = 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }$, or otherwise, find

$$\int \frac { 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } } { 3 \sqrt { } \left( 1 + 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \right) } \mathrm { d } x$$
