Chemistry 1S - DR Paul May: Calculus Question For January Exam 2006

Uploaded by

masyuki1979

(1) The document provides the question and answers for a calculus exam problem involving differentiating the function j(k) = (1 – k)(2k + 10). (2) The stationary point is found to be at k = -2, with j = 18, which is a maximum point. (3) A sketch of the function between k = -7 and k = 3 is provided, showing it is a downward opening parabola with a maximum at (-2, 18) and crossing the x-axis at k = -5 and k = 1.

Chemistry 1S - Dr Paul May

Calculus Question for January Exam 2006 1. Answer all parts (a) to (e). Consider the function j(k) = (1 k)(2k + 10). (a) Differentiate this function (without multiplying out the brackets) (4 marks) (b) Multiply out the brackets and differentiate it again, confirming that your answer agrees with that obtained in part (a) (4 marks) (c) Determine the co-ordinates (k,j) of the stationary point(s). (8 marks) (d) Do the stationary point(s) correspond to local maxima, minima, or point(s) of inflection? (7 Marks) (e) Hence sketch this function between k = 7 and k = +3, marking the positions of important points. (7 marks)

Answers
a) Using Product Rule: dj/dk = (1 k)(2) + (2k + 10)(-1) as before = 4k 8

b) Multiplying out gives j = 2k2 8k +10, so dj/dk = 4k 8 c) At the t.p., dy/dx = 0, so So k = -2, and j = +18 The t.p. is at: (2, 18) d) d2j/dk2 = - 4, i.e. a maximum. 4k 8 = 0,

e) Its a function of k2, so it will be a parabola. We know it has a maximum, so itll be a -shaped parabola. From the original equation, j will be zero if either (1 k) = 0, or if (2k + 10) = 0, i.e if k = +1 or k = -5, so we have the positions at which the curve crosses the axis.
