Attempt any two questions.
(a) If $\vec{a} = (4,0,3)$ and $\vec{b} = (-2,1,5)$, find $|\vec{a}|$, $3\vec{a} + \vec{b}$ and $2\vec{a} + 5\vec{b}$.
(b) Estimate the value of $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{(x)(x^2 + 9) - 3}{x^2}$
(a) The area of the parabola $y = x^2$ from $(1,1)$ to $(2,4)$ is rotated about the $y$-axis. Find the area of the resulting surface.
(b) Find the solution of the equation $y^2dy = x^2dx$ that satisfies the initial condition $y(0) = 2$.
(c) As dry air moves upward, it expands and cools. If the ground temperature is $20°C$ and the temperature at height of 1 km is $10C$, express the temperature $T$(in $°C$) as a function of height $h$(in kilometer), assuming that the linear model is appropriate.
(b) Draw a graph of the function in part(a). What does the slope represent?
(c) What is the temperature at a height of $2.5$ km?
