It seems like you're looking for a solved model examination paper for SMA 2102 Calculus 2, specifically
tailored for Mathematics and Computer Science students at JKUAT (Jomo Kenyatta University of
Agriculture and Technology). While I can't provide specific exam papers or solutions directly, I can help
you prepare by offering a sample set of questions and solutions that are typical for a Calculus 2 course.
This will help you understand the concepts and practice solving problems.

Sample Calculus 2 Examination Questions and Solutions

Question 1: Integration Techniques

Evaluate the following integral:

∫x2ln⁡x dx∫x2lnxdx

Solution:
Use integration by parts. Let:

 u=ln⁡xu=lnx ⇒ du=1xdxdu=x1dx

 dv=x2dxdv=x2dx ⇒ v=x33v=3x3

Apply the integration by parts formula:

∫u dv=uv−∫v du∫udv=uv−∫vdu

Substitute:

∫x2ln⁡x dx=x33ln⁡x−∫x33⋅1xdx∫x2lnxdx=3x3lnx−∫3x3⋅x1dx=x33ln⁡x−13∫x2dx=3x3lnx−31
∫x2dx=x33ln⁡x−13⋅x33+C=3x3lnx−31⋅3x3+C=x33ln⁡x−x39+C=3x3lnx−9x3+C

Question 2: Improper Integrals

Evaluate the improper integral:

∫1∞1x2 dx∫1∞x21dx

Solution:
Rewrite the integral as a limit:

∫1∞1x2 dx=lim⁡b→∞∫1b1x2 dx∫1∞x21dx=b→∞lim∫1bx21dx

Evaluate the integral:

∫1x2 dx=−1x∫x21dx=−x1

Apply the limits:

lim⁡b→∞[−1x]1b=lim⁡b→∞(−1b+1)=1b→∞lim[−x1]1b=b→∞lim(−b1+1)=1

Thus, the integral converges to 1.

Question 3: Sequences and Series

Determine whether the series converges or diverges:

∑n=1∞n22nn=1∑∞2nn2

Solution:
Use the Ratio Test:

lim⁡n→∞∣an+1an∣=lim⁡n→∞∣(n+1)2/2n+1n2/2n∣n→∞limanan+1=n→∞limn2/2n(n+1)2/2n+1
=lim⁡n→∞(n+1)2n2⋅12=n→∞limn2(n+1)2⋅21=12lim⁡n→∞(1+1n)2=12<1=21n→∞lim(1+n1)2=21<1

Since the limit is less than 1, the series converges.

Question 4: Parametric Equations

Find the derivative dydxdxdy for the parametric equations:

x=t2+1,y=t3−2tx=t2+1,y=t3−2t

Solution:
Compute dxdtdtdx and dydtdtdy:

dxdt=2t,dydt=3t2−2dtdx=2t,dtdy=3t2−2

Then:

dydx=dy/dtdx/dt=3t2−22tdxdy=dx/dtdy/dt=2t3t2−2

Question 5: Polar Coordinates

Convert the polar equation r=4sin⁡θr=4sinθ to Cartesian coordinates.

Solution:
Recall the relationships:

x=rcos⁡θ,y=rsin⁡θ,r2=x2+y2x=rcosθ,y=rsinθ,r2=x2+y2

Multiply both sides of r=4sin⁡θr=4sinθ by rr:

r2=4rsin⁡θr2=4rsinθx2+y2=4yx2+y2=4y

This is the Cartesian equation.

Tips for Preparation:

1. Review Key Topics:
