In context

  1. The height h metres of a young tree changes at the rate \(\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{t}}\), where \(t\) is the time in years and \(t>0\). When \(t=1\), \(h=2\) m.

    1. (a) Find an expression for \(h\) in terms of \(t\).
    2. (b) Find \(h\) when \(t=9\), to 3 significant figures.
  2. A ball rolls through thick sand. Its velocity is \(\frac{ds}{dt}=12e^{-2t}\) m/s, where \(s\) metres is the distance from the start and \(t\) is the time in seconds. When \(t=0\), \(s=0\).

    1. (a) Find \(s\) in terms of \(t\).
    2. (b) Find \(s\) when \(t=1.5\), to 3 significant figures.

Stretch

  1. A curve has \(\frac{dy}{dx}=5x^{\frac{3}{2}}-\frac{4}{x}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{x}}\) for \(x>0\), and passes through \((4,\,20)\). Find the equation of the curve, with the constant to 3 significant figures.

  2. Find \(\int \frac{(\sqrt{x}+3)^2}{x}\,dx\).
