TopicStandard Integrals and Reverse Chain Rule
TypeArea under curve using integration
DifficultyModerate -0.3 This is a straightforward multi-part integration question requiring standard techniques (power rule, polynomial integration) with no novel insight. Parts (a) and (b) are routine calculus; part (c) tests understanding of definite integral properties through simple arithmetic manipulation. Slightly easier than average due to the step-by-step scaffolding and given information.

Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve $C$ with equation $y = \mathrm { f } ( x )$ where

$$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 36 } { x ^ { 2 } } + 2 x - 13 \quad x > 0$$

Using calculus,
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item find the range of values of $x$ for which $\mathrm { f } ( x )$ is increasing,
\item show that $\int _ { 2 } ^ { 9 } \left( \frac { 36 } { x ^ { 2 } } + 2 x - 13 \right) \mathrm { d } x = 0$

The point $P ( 2,0 )$ and the point $Q ( 6,0 )$ lie on $C$.\\
Given $\int _ { 2 } ^ { 6 } \left( \frac { 36 } { x ^ { 2 } } + 2 x - 13 \right) \mathrm { d } x = - 8$
\item \begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
\item state the value of $\int _ { 6 } ^ { 9 } \left( \frac { 36 } { x ^ { 2 } } + 2 x - 13 \right) \mathrm { d } x$
\item find the value of the constant $k$ such that $\int _ { 2 } ^ { 6 } \left( \frac { 36 } { x ^ { 2 } } + 2 x + k \right) \mathrm { d } x = 0$
\end{enumerate}\end{enumerate}
