1. B To nd f(x), you must integrate to nd the general antiderivative.

∫(1 − 6x)dx = x − 3x2 + C

To nd the value of C, you must use the given point f(0) = 8.

f(0) = (0) – 3(0)2 + C = 8 ; so, C = 8

f(x) = 8 + x – 3x2

2. A To nd f(x), you must integrate to nd the general antiderivative.

∫(8x3 + 12x + 3)dx = 2x4 + 6x2 + 3x + C

To nd the value of C, you must use the given point f(1) = 6.

f(1) = 2(1)4 + 6(1)2 + 3(1) + C = 6 ; so C = –5

f(x) = 2x4 + 6x2 + 3x – 5

3. C To nd f(x), you must integrate to nd the general antiderivative.

∫(2 cos x + sec2x)dx = 2 sin x + tan x + C

To nd the value of C, you must use the given point = 4.

= 4 so C = 4 − 2

f(x) = 2 sin x + tan x + 4 − 2

4. E To nd f(x), you must integrate twice. Integrate once to nd the rst general antiderivative.

∫(24x2 + 2x + 10)dx = 8x3 + x2 + 10x + C

To nd the value of C, you must rst use the coordinate a ecting the rst derivative, f′(1) = –3.

f′(1) = 8(1)3 + (1)2 + 10(1) + C = –3 ; so C = –22

Now, you must integrate again to nd the general antiderivative f.

∫(8x3 + x2 + 10x − 22)dx = 2x4 + + 5x2 − 22 + C

Use the coordinate f(1) = 5 to nd the value of the constant.

f(1) = 2(1)4 + + 5(1)2 − 22(1) + C = 5; so C =

f(x) = 2x4 + + 5x2 − 22x +

5. D To nd f(x), you must integrate twice. Integrate once to nd the rst antiderivative.

∫(4 − 6x − 40x3)dx = 4x − 3x2 − 10x4 + C

 Use the coordinate involving the rst derivative to nd the value of C.

f(0) = 4(0) – 3(0)2 – 10(0)4 + C = 1 ; so C = 1

Now integrate once again to nd f.

∫(4x − 3x2 − 10x4 + 1)dx = 2x2 − x3 − 2x5 + x + C

Use the other coordinate to nd the value of the constant of integration, C.

f(0) = 2(0)2 – (0)3 – 2(0)5 + (0) + C = 2 ; so C = 2

f(x) = 2 + x + 2x2 – x3 – 2x5

6. D To nd f(x), you must integrate twice. Integrate once to nd the rst antiderivative.

∫(sin x + cos x)dx = − cos x + sin x + C

To nd the value of C, you must use the coordinate that a ects the rst derivative.

f′(0) = –cos (0) + sin (0) + C = 4 ; so C = 5

Now integrate again to nd the general function f.

∫(−cos x + sin x + 5)dx = − sin x − cos x + 5x + C

To nd the value of C, you must use the other coordinate given a ecting the function.

f(0) = –sin (0) – cos (0) + 5(0) + C = 3 ; so C = 4

f(x) = –sin x – cos x + 5x + 4

7. E To nd f(x), you must integrate twice.

∫(2 − 12x)dx = 2x − 6x2 + C

∫(2x − 6x2 + C)dx = x2 − 2x3 + Cx + D

Use the coordinates given to nd the values of the constants.

f(0) = (0)2 – 2(0)3 + C(0) + D = 9 ; so D = 9

f(2) = (2)2 – 2(2)3 + C(2) + 9 = 15 ; so C = 9

f(x) = –2x3 + x2 + 9x + 9

8. B To nd f(x), you must integrate twice.

∫(20x3 + 12x2 + 4)dx = 5x4 + 4x3 + 4x + C

∫(5x4 + 4x3 + 4x + C)dx = x5 + x4 + 2x2 + Cx + D

Use the coordinates given to nd the values of the constants.

f(0) = (0)5 + (0)4 + 2(0)2 + C(0) + D = 8 ; so D = 8

f(1) = (1)5 + (1)4 + 2(1)2 + C(1) + 8 = 5 ; so C = –7

f(x) = x5 + x4 + 2x2 – 7x + 8
 9. A To nd f(x), you must integrate twice.

∫(20x3 + 12x2 + 4)dx = 5x4 + 4x3 + 4x + C

∫(5x4 + 4x3 + 4x + C)dx = x5 + x4 + 2x2 + Cx + D

Use the coordinates given to nd the values of the constants.

f(0) = (0)5 + (0)4 + 2(0)2 + C(0) + D = 2 ; so D = 2

f(1) = (1)5 + (1)4 + 2(1)2 + C(1) + 2 = 1 ; so C = –5

f(x) = x5 + x4 + 2x2 – 5x + 2

10. C To nd f(x), you must integrate the function.

∫(48x2 − 6x + 1)dx = 16x3 − 3x2 + x + C

Use the coordinate given that a ects the rst derivative.

f(0) = 16(0)3 – 3(0)2 + (0) + C = 2 ; so C = 2

Integrate once again to nd the general antiderivative function.

∫(16x3 − 3x2 + x + 2)dx = 4x4 − x3 + x2 + 2x + C

Now, plug the other coordinate into the function to determine the value of C.

f(0) = 4(0)4 – (0)3 + (0)2 + 2(0) + C = 1 ; so C = 1

f(x) = 4x4 – x3 + x2 + 2x + 1

11. E Calculate the anti-derivative.

Evaluate the function at the endpoints.

[5(4) – (4)2 + (4)3] – [5(1) – (1)2 + (1)3]

[20 – 16 + 64] – [5 – 1 + 1]
[68] – [5] = 63

12. D Calculate the anti-derivative.

Evaluate the function at the endpoints.

13. D Evaluate the integral rst by dividing x into each term in the numerator.
 x3 − 4 +C

14. A Evaluate the integral using the substitution u = x3 + x2, then du = 3x2 + 2x dx

∫(3x2 + 2x)(x3 + x2)dx = ∫(u5 du =

u6 + C = (x3 + x2)6 + C

15. C This is truly a friendly problem if you identify what is actually given to you. The coe cients should be
moved into the integrand to see that the integrands are perfect derivatives. Utilizing this fact, we have:

Which yields:

x − x3 + C = − x3 + C

16. C Evaluate the integral using the power rule for integration, paying attention to the x–1 term, which will turn
out to be the natural logarithm.

∫(x2 + x − x−1 + 2x−2)dx = x3 + x2 − ln x − 2x−1 + C

17. A Use the addition and power rules of integration: ∫(2x2 + 3)dx = x3 + 3x + C

18. B Use u-substitution. u = (2x2 + 7) and du = 4 x dx. Plug this back into the integral:

19. C Use u-substitution and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate this integral. u = 6x3 – 9x2 and du
= 18x2 – 18x. Thus,

20. B From the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus,

(2t − 3t3)dt = (2x3 − 3(x3)3) = 6x5 − 9x11.

21. E Since is unde ned at x = 0, this is an improper integral and we must evaluate it in two parts:

. Thus, the integral diverges.

22. D You must use the method of partial fractions to evaluate this integral. First begin by separating the function
to solve for the individual numerators.

x – 9 = A(x – 2) + B(x + 5)
 x – 9 = Ax – 2A + Bx + 5B
x – 9 = (A + B)x – 2A + 5B

So, it follows that:

(1) A + B = 1 and (2) –2A + 5B = –9

Multiply the rst equation by 2 and then stack and add them to start solving simultaneously.

If B = –1, using equation (1) means that A must equal 2. So, the partial fraction decomposition must be:

23. B To solve this integral, you must use the method of partial fractions. First, start by breaking down the function
into its individual components.

1 = A(x – 1) + B(x + 4)
1 = Ax – A + Bx + 4B
1 = (A + B) x – A + 4B

So, it follows that:

A+B=0
–A + 4B = 1

Add the two equations together to start solving for the individual values of the constants. This yields that B

= and A equals − . So, the partial fraction decomposition is:

24. C To solve this integral, you must use the method of partial fractions. First, start by breaking down the function
into its individual components.

2 = A(x – 1) + B(x + 1)
2 = Ax – A + Bx + B
2 = (A + B) x – A + B

So, it follows that:

A+B=0
–A + B = 2

Add the two equations together to start solving for the individual values of the constants. This yields that B
= 1 and A = –1. So, the partial fraction decomposition is:
 −ln |x + 1| + ln |x − 1| + C =
ln |x − 1| − ln |x + 1| + C

25. A To solve this integral, you must use the method of partial fractions. First, start by breaking down the function
into its individual components.

3 = A(x – 1) + B(x + 2)
3 = Ax – A + Bx + 2B
3 = (A + B)x – A + 2B

So, it follows that:

A+B=0
–A + 2B = 3

Add the two equations together to start solving for the individual values of the constants. This yields that B
= 1 and A = –1. So, the partial fraction decomposition is:

26. E To solve this integral, you must use the method of partial fractions. First, start by breaking down the function
into its individual components.

5 – x = A(x + 1) + B(2x – 1)
5 – x = Ax + A + 2Bx – B
5 – x = (A + 2B)x + A – B

So, it follows that:

A + 2B = –1
A–B=5

Subtract the two equations to start solving for the individual values of the constants. This yields that B = –2
and A = 3. So, the partial fraction decomposition is:

27. A To solve this integral, you must use the method of partial fractions. First, start by breaking down the function
into its individual components.

x2 + 12x + 12 = A(x2 – 4) + Bx(x – 2) + C x(x + 2)

x2 + 12x + 12 = Ax2 – 4A + Bx2 – 2Bx + Cx2 + 2Cx

x2 + 12x + 12 = (A + B + C)x2 + (–2B + 2C)x – 4A

 So, it follows that:

A+B+C=1
–2B + 2C = 12
–4A = 12

You must start solving the equations simultaneously. Start with the third one since it only has the A in it. A
must equal –3. Plugging that value into the rst equation now means that B + C = 4. Multiply this equation
by 2 and add it to the remaining equation.

2B + 2C = 8
–2B + 2C = 12

This yields that C = 5 and B = –1. So, the partial fraction decomposition is:

28. E To solve this integral, you must use the method of partial fractions. First, start by breaking down the function
into its individual components.

4x2 + 2x – 1 = Ax(x + 1) + B(x + 1) + Cx2

4x2 + 2x – 1 = Ax2 + Ax + Bx + B + Cx2

4x2 + 2x – 1 = (A + C)x2 + (A + B)x + B

So, it follows that:

A+C=4
A+B=2
B = –1

The value of B is given immediately, so use that to determine the values of A and C which are 3 and 1,
respectively. So, the partial fraction decomposition is:

29. B To solve this integral, you must use the method of partial fractions. First, start by breaking down the function
into its individual components.

(* A quadratic denominator requires a linear numerator)

x2 – 1 = A(x2 + 1) + (Bx + C)x

x2 – 1 = Ax2 + A + Bx2 + Cx

x2 – 1 = (A + B)x2 + Cx + A

So, it follows that:

A+B=1
C=0
 A = –1

A = –1, B = 2, and C = 0

Now that you know the values of the constants, the partial fraction decomposition becomes:

30. C To solve this integral, you must use the method of partial fractions. First, start by breaking down the function
into its individual components.

1 = A(x + 1) + Bx
1 = Ax + A + Bx
1 = (A + B)x + A

So, it follows that:

A+B=0
A=1
So, A = 1 and B = –1.

Now that you know the values of the constants, the partial fraction decomposition becomes:

= ln x − ln |x + 1| + C

31. D To solve this integral, you must use the method of partial fractions. First, start by breaking down the function
into its individual components.

1 = A(2x + 1) + Bx
1 = 2Ax + A + Bx
1 = (2A + B)x + A

So, it follows that

2A + B = 0 and A = 1; so B must equal –2.

Now that you know the values of the constants, the partial fraction decomposition becomes:

= ln x − ln |2x + 1| + C

32. E Evaluate the integral using the substitution u = y2 + 1, then du = y dy.

∫y(y2 + 1)5 dy = ∫u5 du =

u6 + C = (y2 + 1)6 + C

33. D First, divide the numerator by x to begin solving the integral.

 2 − x2 + C

34. A From the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, = 19.333

Answer is B.

35. B First, recognize that the series is a geometric series with a = 6 and r = . Since geo-metric series

with r < 1, always converge, look through the answer choices for any other geometric series. Notice, answer
choice C is also a geometric series with a = 1 and r = . The other four answer choices are not geometric
series. Therefore, we need to use other tests to determine if these series converge or not. Although you may
choose any test you like, look for indicators that one test may be better suited than the others. For instance,
answers A and E are good candidates for the Comparison Test. Recall the Comparison Test says let 0, ≤ an

≤ b, if bn converges, then an converges. In this case, the question stem gives bn = , and the

answer choices give an. In both answer choices A and E, an < bn for all values of n, so both A and E

converge. For answer choice D, the Ratio Test is a good option to use. In the Ratio Test, ρ = , where

an. If ρ < 1, the series converges. As ρ < 1, in D, that series converges. If you use the Ratio Test for
answer choice B, you will nd that ρ = 1, the test is insu cient and we don’t know whether the series
converges or diverges. To determine with certainty if the series in B will converge or not, you will need to
use another test, such as the Integral Test or the P-Series Test. If you use the Integral Test, remember an =
f(n) where f is positive, continuous and decreasing for x ≥ 1. If f(x)dx converges, then an converges.
In B, the integral diverges, so the series diverges and the answer is B. The P-Series Test is even easier;
recognize that any series in the form , where p > 0, converges if p > 1 and diverges if 0 < p ≤ 1,

so B diverges.

36. E In order to determine to what value the series converges, we must rst determine if the series converges. You
may use whichever test you please. Here, we will use the Ratio Test. In the Ratio Test, ρ = , where

an. If ρ < 1, the series converges and if ρ < 1, the series diverges. In this case, ρ = 2, so the series
diverges and cannot converge to a single value.

37. C First, integrate, a(t) = 6t2 − 4, to determine v(t). Thus, v(t) = 2t5 − 4t + C. Determine C by plugging in
(2,9), so v(t) = 2t3 − 4t + 1. Next, integrate v(t) to determine the position function, x(t): x(t) = t4 − 2t2

+ t + C. At the point, (0,1), x(t) = t4 − 2t2 + t + 1. Now, evaluate x(4) to determine the position of the

particle. x(4) = 101.

38. C f(c) = f(x)dx. For this problem f(c) = (x3 − 2)dx = 8.
