T UTORIAL PART I
This part consists of relatively basic questions which cover the course materials. The solu-
tions to these questions will be recorded.
3. For each of the following functions, find the area of the region between the graph of the
function and the x-axis.

6. Evaluate the derivative of f −1 at 2. (You may assume that the function is one-to-one in its
domain without proof.)

(a) f (x) = x 5 − x 3 + 2x, (b) f (x) = x 3 + x 2 + x + 1.
T UTORIAL PART II
This part consists of relatively difficult questions to promote independent learning and in-
culcate critical thinking abilities. The solutions will not be recorded. You may attempt them
after you have gained a good understanding of the questions in Part I. The complete solution
of this part is provided.
1. Find the interval [a, b] for which the value of the integral
Z b
(2 + x − x 2 ) d x
a
is a maximum.
3. (i) Let M > 0. Use the identity ln x r = r ln x (x > 0, r ∈ Q) to find a number c > 0 such
that ln c > M .
(ii) Let M > 0. Use part (i) and the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that there exists
x 0 > 0 such that ln x 0 = M .
