The first 5 questions of this test, with the correct answer and explanation.

  1. Q1. ∫ from −1 to 1 of (x⁵ + x² + x) dx equals:

    • A. 2/3 ✓
    • B. 2
    • C. 0
    • D. 1/3

    Answer: A. 2/3

    Explanation: The odd terms x⁵ and x integrate to zero over [−1, 1]. The even term gives 2∫₀¹x²dx = 2/3.

  2. Q2. ∫₀³ ⌊x⌋ dx, where ⌊x⌋ is the greatest integer function, equals:

    • A. 4.5
    • B. 6
    • C. 3 ✓
    • D. 2

    Answer: C. 3

    Explanation: ⌊x⌋ = 0 on [0, 1), 1 on [1, 2), 2 on [2, 3). The integral = 0 + 1 + 2 = 3.

  3. Q3. ∫₀¹ x e^(x²) dx equals:

    • A. e − 1
    • B. (e − 1)/2 ✓
    • C. e/2
    • D. (e + 1)/2

    Answer: B. (e − 1)/2

    Explanation: Let u = x²: ½∫₀¹eᵘdu = (e − 1)/2.

  4. Q4. ∫₀¹ x² eˣ dx equals:

    • A. 2 − e
    • B. e − 2 ✓
    • C. e/3
    • D. e − 1

    Answer: B. e − 2

    Explanation: By parts: ∫x²eˣ = eˣ(x² − 2x + 2). Evaluate: e(1 − 2 + 2) − 2 = e − 2.

  5. Q5. The area under y = 1/(1 + x²) from x = 0 to x = √3 is:

    • A. √3
    • B. π/3 ✓
    • C. π/6
    • D. π/4

    Answer: B. π/3

    Explanation: Area = [tan⁻¹x]₀^√3 = π/3 − 0 = π/3.
