Worked solution

Q9(i)

1. Differentiate the given function using the chain rule.

Let y=sin⁡(x2)y = \sin(x^2).
Using the chain rule,
dydx=cos⁡(x2)⋅ddx(x2)\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos(x^2) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2)
dydx=2xcos⁡(x2)\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x \cos(x^2)

Answer

2xcos⁡(x2)2x \cos(x^2)

Q9(ii)

1. Rewrite the integral to incorporate the derivative from part (i).

From part (i), we have ddx(sin⁡(x2))=2xcos⁡(x2)\frac{d}{dx}(\sin(x^2)) = 2x \cos(x^2).

To make use of this, we can split x3x^3 into x2⋅xx^2 \cdot x and rewrite the integral as:
∫x3cos⁡(x2) dx=12∫x2(2xcos⁡(x2)) dx\int x^3 \cos(x^2) \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \int x^2 \big(2x \cos(x^2)\big) \, dx

2. Apply integration by parts.

Let u=x2u = x^2 and dvdx=2xcos⁡(x2)\frac{dv}{dx} = 2x \cos(x^2).
Then dudx=2x\frac{du}{dx} = 2x and v=sin⁡(x2)v = \sin(x^2).

Using the integration by parts formula ∫udvdx dx=uv−∫vdudx dx\int u \frac{dv}{dx} \, dx = uv - \int v \frac{du}{dx} \, dx:
12∫x2(2xcos⁡(x2)) dx=12[x2sin⁡(x2)−∫2xsin⁡(x2) dx]\frac{1}{2} \int x^2 \big(2x \cos(x^2)\big) \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \left[ x^2 \sin(x^2) - \int 2x \sin(x^2) \, dx \right]

3. Integrate the remaining term to find the final answer.

Notice that ddx(cos⁡(x2))=−2xsin⁡(x2)\frac{d}{dx}(\cos(x^2)) = -2x \sin(x^2), so ∫2xsin⁡(x2) dx=−cos⁡(x2)\int 2x \sin(x^2) \, dx = -\cos(x^2).

Substituting this back:
12[x2sin⁡(x2)−(−cos⁡(x2))]+C\frac{1}{2} \left[ x^2 \sin(x^2) - (-\cos(x^2)) \right] + C
=12x2sin⁡(x2)+12cos⁡(x2)+C= \frac{1}{2}x^2 \sin(x^2) + \frac{1}{2}\cos(x^2) + C

Answer

12x2sin⁡(x2)+12cos⁡(x2)+C\frac{1}{2}x^2 \sin(x^2) + \frac{1}{2}\cos(x^2) + C
