TopicChain Rule
TypeFind gradient at specific point
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a multi-part question covering standard C3 techniques: chain rule differentiation (straightforward application), inverse function properties (routine verification), integration by expansion (mechanical), and area calculation using inverse functions. While it has multiple parts, each step follows textbook methods without requiring novel insight, making it slightly easier than average.

  1. Find \(\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x )\), and hence calculate the gradient of the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) at the origin and at the point \(( \ln 2,1 )\). The function \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\) is defined by \(\mathrm { g } ( x ) = \ln ( 1 + \sqrt { x } )\) for \(x \geqslant 0\).
  2. Show that \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) and \(\mathrm { g } ( x )\) are inverse functions. Hence sketch the graph of \(y = \mathrm { g } ( x )\). Write down the gradient of the curve \(y = \mathrm { g } ( x )\) at the point \(( 1 , \ln 2 )\).
  3. Show that \(\int \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { x } - 1 \right) ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~d} x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } - 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { x } + x + c\). Hence evaluate \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \ln 2 } \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { x } - 1 \right) ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~d} x\), giving your answer in an exact form.
  4. Using your answer to part (iii), calculate the area of the region enclosed by the curve \(y = \mathrm { g } ( x )\), the \(x\)-axis and the line \(x = 1\).

8 Fig. 8 shows part of the curve $y = \mathrm { f } ( x )$, where

$$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { x } - 1 \right) ^ { 2 } \text { for } x \geqslant 0 .$$

(i) Find $\mathrm { f } ^ { \prime } ( x )$, and hence calculate the gradient of the curve $y = \mathrm { f } ( x )$ at the origin and at the point $( \ln 2,1 )$.

The function $\mathrm { g } ( x )$ is defined by $\mathrm { g } ( x ) = \ln ( 1 + \sqrt { x } )$ for $x \geqslant 0$.\\
(ii) Show that $\mathrm { f } ( x )$ and $\mathrm { g } ( x )$ are inverse functions. Hence sketch the graph of $y = \mathrm { g } ( x )$.

Write down the gradient of the curve $y = \mathrm { g } ( x )$ at the point $( 1 , \ln 2 )$.\\
(iii) Show that $\int \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { x } - 1 \right) ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~d} x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } - 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { x } + x + c$.

Hence evaluate $\int _ { 0 } ^ { \ln 2 } \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { x } - 1 \right) ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~d} x$, giving your answer in an exact form.\\
(iv) Using your answer to part (iii), calculate the area of the region enclosed by the curve $y = \mathrm { g } ( x )$, the $x$-axis and the line $x = 1$.
