A curve has equation $$\(y=\frac{1}{k} x^{\frac{1}{2}}+x^{-\frac{1}{2}}+\frac{1}{k^{2}}\)$$ where $$\(x>0\)$$ and $$\(k\)$$ is a positive constant. It is given instead that $$\(\int_{\frac{1}{4} k^{2}}^{k^{2}}\left(\frac{1}{k} x^{\frac{1}{2}}+x^{-\frac{1}{2}}+\frac{1}{k^{2}}\right) \mathrm{d} x=\frac{13}{12}\)$$. Find the value of $$\(k\)$$. ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................
Exam No:9709_w20_qp_13 Year:2020 Question No:10(b)
Answer:
\(\int \frac{1}{k} x^{1 / 2}+x^{-1 / 2}+\frac{1}{k^{2}}=\left[\frac{2 x^{3 / 2}}{3 k}\right]+\left[2 x^{1 / 2}\right]+\left[\frac{x}{k^{2}}\right]\)
\(\left(\frac{2 k^{2}}{3}+2 k+1\right)-\left(\frac{k^{2}}{12}+k+\frac{1}{4}\right)\)
\(\frac{7}{12} k^{2}+k+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{12}\)
\(k=\frac{2}{7}\) only (or \(\left.0.286\right)\)
\(\left(\frac{2 k^{2}}{3}+2 k+1\right)-\left(\frac{k^{2}}{12}+k+\frac{1}{4}\right)\)
\(\frac{7}{12} k^{2}+k+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{12}\)
\(k=\frac{2}{7}\) only (or \(\left.0.286\right)\)
