Variation 1 · answer guide
Antidifferentiation — Same structure, new constant
Question
Evaluate using .
This practice question was inspired by Question 11(b) in the 2022 NSW HSC Mathematics Extension 1 examination, © NESA. It is an original TestMum variation that practises the same mathematical idea, not an official NESA question.
Step by step
- Set up the solution: choose a substitution or identity that simplifies the integrand, then reverse-differentiate to check.; limits to .
- State the final answer clearly in the form the question requested..
Common mistake: changing so many features that the new example no longer tests the same mathematical idea.
Verification: Transform integrand and both limits consistently.
