Worked solution
10(i)
1. Apply the product rule to differentiate $y = 4x \sin 2x$
Let and .
Then and .
Using the product rule :
2. Simplify the expression to the required form
(This is in the form with and )
10(ii)
1. Evaluate the derivative $\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}$ at $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$ using the result from part (i).
From part (i), .
When ,
2. Apply the chain rule to find the rate of change of $y$ with respect to time.
Given .
Using the chain rule,
units per second
10(iii)
1. State the derivative from part (i) and express it as an integral equation
From part (i), .
Integrating both sides with respect to :
2. Rearrange to make the required integral the subject and apply limits
3. Evaluate the integrated terms
4. Solve for the final integral
10(iv)
1. Interpret the negative result of the definite integral from part (iii)
Since the evaluated definite integral is negative, the area bounded by the curve and the -axis in this interval lies below the -axis.
The negative value of the integral implies that the curve lies below the -axis for .
