Unit 28 Exam Practice
Applications of Integration
These questions are written in the style of IB examination questions, and they are harder than the review exercises. The marks for each part are shown in square brackets on the right, for example [3]. Paper 1 means no calculator; Paper 2 means a graphic display calculator (GDC) is allowed. Try each question under exam conditions first, then open the markscheme.
| Mark | Meaning |
|---|---|
| M | Method mark: a correct method is used, even with a small slip |
| A | Accuracy mark: a correct answer or line of working (usually needs the M mark before it) |
| R | Reasoning mark: a clear reason or justification is given |
| N | Mark for a correct final answer with no working shown |
| AG | “Answer given” in the question, so no extra mark is awarded for writing it |
The number after the letter is the number of marks, so A2 is worth 2 marks. In the exam, give answers exactly or correct to 3 significant figures (s.f.) unless the question says otherwise.

HL 8 Paper 2
The inside of a vase is formed by rotating the part of the curve \[ y = \frac{8x^{2}}{1 + x^{2}}, \qquad 0 \leq x \leq \sqrt{3}, \] through \(2\pi\) about the \(y\)-axis, where \(x\) and \(y\) are measured in decimetres (dm). The lowest point of the inside of the vase is at the origin \(O\), and the rim is at \(y = 6\). The vase contains water to a depth of \(h\) dm.
(a) Show that \(x^{2} = \dfrac{y}{8 - y}\). [2]
(b) Show that the volume of water, \(V\) dm³, is given by \[ V = \pi\left(8\ln\left(\frac{8}{8 - h}\right) - h\right) . \] [5]
(c) Find the volume of the vase. Give your answer in exact form and correct to 3 significant figures. [2]
Water is poured into the vase at a constant rate of \(0.2\) dm³ per second.
(d) Find the rate at which the depth of the water is increasing when \(h = 4\). [4]
(e) Find the depth of the water when the vase is half full (by volume). [2]
