- 10
- 12
- 6
- 8
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. 12
$\int_0^1 k(x^2 - x^3)\,dx = k[x^3/3 - x^4/4]_0^1 = k(1/3 - 1/4) = k/12 = 1$ ⇒ $k = 12$.

Worked practice questions
sec θ is defined as:
- 1/sin θ
- sin θ/cos θ
- 1/tan θ
- 1/cos θ
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. 1/cos θ
sec θ = 1/cos θ (cosecant: csc θ = 1/sin θ; cotangent: cot θ = 1/tan θ).
General solution of cos θ = 0:
- θ = π/2 + nπ
- θ = nπ
- θ = π/4 + nπ
- θ = 0 + 2nπ
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. θ = π/2 + nπ
cos θ = 0 at θ = π/2 and 3π/2 (i.e., 90° and 270°).
**General:** θ = π/2 + nπ where n ∈ ℤ. (Every π apart.)
