 a) 9 b) 18 c) 20 d) Cannot be calculated without knowing the initial population

Choice (a) is incorrect
Choice (b) is incorrect
Choice (c) is correct!
${\int }_{0}^{4}\left(1+2t\right)\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}dt={\left[t+{t}^{2}\right]}_{0}^{4}=4+16-0=20.$
Choice (d) is incorrect
A mosquito population is estimated to be growing at a rate of $2200+10{e}^{0.8t}$ per week during summer (where $t$ is measured in weeks). By how much does the mosquito population increase between the 4th and the 5th weeks of summer ?
 a) $2200+10\left({e}^{4}-{e}^{3.2}\right)$ b) $2200+12.5\left({e}^{4}-{e}^{3.2}\right)$ c) $12.5\left({e}^{4}-{e}^{3.2}\right)$ d) Cannot be calculated without knowing the initial population

Choice (a) is incorrect
Choice (b) is correct!
${\int }_{4}^{5}\left(2200+10{e}^{0.8t}\right)\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}dt={\left[2200t+12.5{e}^{0.8t}\right]}_{4}^{5}=2200+12.5\left({e}^{4}-{e}^{3.2}\right).$

Consider the family of curves sketched below
The gradient of these curves at the point $\left(t,y\right)$ is $8cos2t$. What is the general equation of these curves ?
 a) $f\left(t\right)=4sin2t+C$ b) $f\left(t\right)=-4sin2t+C$ c) $f\left(t\right)=-16sin2t+C$ d) $f\left(t\right)=16sin2t+C$

Choice (a) is correct!
$f\left(t\right)=\int 8cos2t\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}dt=8\left(\frac{1}{2}sin2t\right)+C=4sin2t+C$
Choice (b) is incorrect
Choice (c) is incorrect
Choice (d) is incorrect
A family of curves have the slope $8{t}^{3}+9{t}^{2}-4t+7$ at the point $\left(t,y\right)$. Which curve in the family passes through the point (-1,2) ?
 a) $f\left(t\right)=24{t}^{2}+18t-4$ b) $f\left(t\right)=2{t}^{4}+3{t}^{3}-2{t}^{2}+7t+12$ c) $f\left(t\right)=2{t}^{4}+3{t}^{3}-2{t}^{2}+7t+2$ d) $f\left(t\right)=24{t}^{2}+18t+2$

Choice (a) is incorrect
Choice (b) is correct!
$f\left(t\right)=\int \left(8{t}^{3}+9{t}^{2}-4t+7\right)\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}dt=2{t}^{4}+3{t}^{3}-2{t}^{2}+7t+C$
$f\left(-1\right)=2-3-2-7+C=2⇒C=12$,
$\text{therefore,}f\left(t\right)=2{t}^{4}+3{t}^{3}-2{t}^{2}+7t+12$.

Choice (c) is correct!
${\int }_{-2}^{2}\left(4-{x}^{2}\right)\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}dx={\left[4x-\frac{1}{3}{x}^{3}\right]}_{-2}^{2}$
$=\left(8-\frac{8}{3}\right)-\left(-8-\frac{8}{3}\right)=16-\frac{16}{3}=\frac{32}{3}.$

The curves intersect at $\left(-1,0\right)$ and $\left(3,4\right)$ so the area is
${\int }_{-1}^{3}\left(f\left(x\right)-g\left(x\right)\right)\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}dx={\int }_{-1}^{3}\left(-{x}^{2}+2x+3\right)\phantom{\rule{1em}{0ex}}dx=\left[-\frac{{x}^{3}}{3}+{x}^{2}+3\right]=\frac{32}{3}.$
