Question

Let \(y = {{\text{e}}^x}\sin x\).

Consider the function \(f\)  defined by \(f(x) = {{\text{e}}^x}\sin x,{\text{ }}0 \leqslant x \leqslant \pi \).

The curvature at any point \((x,{\text{ }}y)\) on a graph is defined as \(\kappa  = \frac{{\left| {\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}}} \right|}}{{{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\frac{{{\text{d}}y}}{{{\text{d}}x}}} \right)}^2}} \right)}^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}\).

Find an expression for \(\frac{{{\text{d}}y}}{{{\text{d}}x}}\).

[2]
a.

Show that \(\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}} = 2{{\text{e}}^x}\cos x\).

[2]
b.

Show that the function \(f\) has a local maximum value when \(x = \frac{{3\pi }}{4}\).

[2]
c.

Find the \(x\)-coordinate of the point of inflexion of the graph of \(f\).

[2]
d.

Sketch the graph of \(f\), clearly indicating the position of the local maximum point, the point of inflexion and the axes intercepts.

[3]
e.

Find the area of the region enclosed by the graph of \(f\) and the \(x\)-axis.

The curvature at any point \((x,{\text{ }}y)\) on a graph is defined as \(\kappa  = \frac{{\left| {\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}}} \right|}}{{{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\frac{{{\text{d}}y}}{{{\text{d}}x}}} \right)}^2}} \right)}^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}\).

[6]
f.

Find the value of the curvature of the graph of \(f\) at the local maximum point.

[3]
g.

Find the value \(\kappa \) for \(x = \frac{\pi }{2}\) and comment on its meaning with respect to the shape of the graph.

\(\frac{{{\text{d}}y}}{{{\text{d}}x}} = {{\text{e}}^x}\sin x + {{\text{e}}^x}\cos x{\text{ }}\left( { = {{\text{e}}^x}(\sin x + \cos x)} \right)\)    M1A1

a.

\(\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}} = {{\text{e}}^x}(\sin x + \cos x) + {{\text{e}}^x}(\cos x - \sin x)\)    M1A1

\( = 2{{\text{e}}^x}\cos x\)    AG

[2 marks]

b.

\(\frac{{{\text{d}}y}}{{{\text{d}}x}} = {{\text{e}}^{\frac{{3\pi }}{4}}}\left( {\sin \frac{{3\pi }}{4} + \cos \frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right) = 0\)    R1

\(\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}} = 2{{\text{e}}^{\frac{{3\pi }}{4}}}\cos \frac{{3\pi }}{4} < 0\)    R1

hence maximum at \(x = \frac{{3\pi }}{4}\)     AG

[2 marks]

c.

\(\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}} = 0 \Rightarrow 2{{\text{e}}^x}\cos x = 0\)    M1

\( \Rightarrow x = \frac{\pi }{2}\)    A1

 

Note: Award M1A0 if extra zeros are seen.

correct shape and correct domain     A1

max at \(x = \frac{{3\pi }}{4}\), point of inflexion at \(x = \frac{\pi }{2}\)     A1

zeros at \(x = 0\) and \(x = \pi \)     A1

 

Note: Penalize incorrect domain with first A mark; allow FT from (d) on extra points of inflexion.

\(\int_0^\pi  {{{\text{e}}^x}\sin x{\text{d}}x = [{{\text{e}}^x}\sin x]_0^\pi  - \left( {[{{\text{e}}^x}\cos x]_0^x + \int_0^\pi  {{{\text{e}}^x}\sin x{\text{d}}x} } \right)} \)    A1

\(\int_0^\pi  {{{\text{e}}^x}\sin x{\text{d}}x = \frac{1}{2}\left( {[{{\text{e}}^x}\sin x]_0^x - [{{\text{e}}^x}\cos x]_0^x} \right)} \)    M1A1

\(\kappa  = \frac{{\left| { - \sqrt 2 {{\text{e}}^{\frac{{3\pi }}{4}}}} \right|}}{1} = \sqrt 2 {{\text{e}}^{\frac{{3\pi }}{4}}}\)    A1
