1. (a) Evaluate the following double integral to 3 decimal places


Z x=3 Z y=4  
2
2xy + dydx [5 marks]
x=0 y=1 y

(b) Using double integration, find the area for x > 0 that is enclosed by the y-axis,
the curve y = 4 − x2 and the line y = 3x.
Sketch the area of integration. [5 marks]
(c) The area described in question 1(b) is filled by a flat metal plate with a surface
density σ = 3x. If the plate is secured to the y-axis by massless hinges,
calculate its moment of inertia about the y-axis. [6 marks]

[Note: the moment of inertia of a point mass, m is I = md , where d is the
distance to the rotation axis under consideration].

2. (a) Evaluate the work done by the force, F = 3xi + 4yj, moving along the path
y = x2 from (0, 0) to (3, 9). [4 marks]
I
y2 xdx + x2 dy along the path from (0, 0) to (2, 8)

(b) i. Evaluate
path
the curve y = 2x2
and back to (0, 0), where the path to (2, 8) follows√
and the path back to (0, 0) follows the curve y = 4 2x. [8 marks]
ii. Use Green’s theorem to verify your result with a double integral. [7 marks]

3. This question concerns the function


(
1, −1 < x < 0 ,
f (x) =
1−x, 0 < x < 1.
f (x) = f (x + 2)

a0 , an and bn . [13 marks]
(b) Write down the values of a0 , a1 , ..., a5 and b1 , b2 , ..., b5 correct to at least eight
significant figures. [2 marks]
(c) Use MATLAB to find the coefficients of the first five harmonics and
compare the results with those from part (b).
Your solution should include a copy of the m-file fnc.m which you use
to obtain the coefficients. [7 marks]
(d) Plot the function and its approximating five-term Fourier series [3 marks]
(e) Sketch the Fourier series over the interval −3 ≤ x ≤ 3. [5 marks]

4. Consider the differential equation

dy
= xe−x − y (1)
dx
with the initial conditions x = 0, y = 1. For the remainder of this question work to 4 decimal
places throughout and give your answer to 3 decimal places.

(a) Use the Euler method to calculate an estimate of the value of y when x = 0.8 using the
step length h = 0.2. [4 marks]
(b) Use the Modified Euler method to calculate an estimate of the value of y when x = 0.8
using the step length h = 0.4. [4 marks]
(c) Use the RK4 method to calculate an estimate of the value of y when x = 0.8 using the
step length h = 0.4. [6 marks]
(d) The exact solution to the differential equation (1) is

x2 −x
 
y(x) = 1 + e

Check that this function indeed satisfies equation (1) together with the initial condition:
y = 1 when x = 0. Then evaluate the value predicted by the exact solution when
x = 0.8. [4 marks]
(e) Compare the value you found in part (d) with the estimated values you found in parts
(a), (b) and (c). State which method gives the most accurate prediction and which
method gives the least accurate prediction [2 marks]

5. Consider the matrix  

In this question work to 4 decimal places throughout and give your final answer to 3 decimal
places.

(a) Use 4 iterations of the power method to calculate an estimate of the maximal mag-
nitude eigenvalue of A and an estimate of the corresponding eigenvector. Start with
(1, 1, 1)T as the initial estimate of the eigenvector. [7 marks]
Given that the the inverse of matrix A is
 

(b) Use this matrix to perform 3 iterations of the power method to calculate an estimate of
the minimal magnitude eigenvalue of A and an estimate of the corresponding
eigenvector. Start with (1, 1, 1)T as the initial estimate of the eigenvector. [8 marks]
