4. Find the area enclosed between the curves 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 and 𝑦 = 2𝑥. [3]

5. Find the area enclosed between the curves 𝑦 = 10 + 2𝑥 − 𝑥 2 and 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 2 .

6. A Geiger counter is taken into a region after a nuclear accident and gives a reading of 10 000.
One year later, the same Geiger counter gives a reading of 9 000. It is known that the reading 𝑇
is given by the formula
𝑇 = 𝑇0 𝑒 −𝑘𝑡

where 𝑇0 and 𝑘 are constants and 𝑡 is the time measured in years.

(a) Evaluate the constants 𝑇0 and 𝑘. [2]

(b) It is known that the region will be safe when the reading reaches 40. After how many years
will the region become safe? [2]

7. A particle is moving with acceleration 𝑎 = −6𝑡, in units of centimetres and seconds. Initially it
is at rest at 𝑥 = 8.
(a) Find the velocity function. [1]

(b) Find the particle’s velocity when 𝑡 = 5. [1]

(c) Find the displacement function. [1]

(d) When is the particle at rest again? [1]

8. Find the volume generated when the area in the positive quadrant, bounded by the curve
𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 2 and the 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 is rotated through 360° about the 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 between
the lines 𝑦 = 2 and 𝑦 = 6. [3]
