Group A (10 × 3 = 30)

Attempt any THREE questions.

  1. (a) If $f(x) = x^2$ then find $\frac{f(2+h)-f(2)}{h}$.

    (b) (a) Dry air is moving upward. If the ground temperature is $20°$ and the temperature at a height of $1km$ is $10°C$, express the temperature $T$ in $°C$ as a function of the height $h$ (in kilometers), assuming that a linear model is appropriate. (b) Draw the graph of the function in part (a). What does the slope represent? (c) What is the temperature at a height of $2km$?

  3. (a) Show that the $\int_1^{\infty} \frac{1}{x^2}$ converges and $\int_1^{\infty} \frac{1}{x}$ diverges.
