Porisma

A hint to get started

Use two point conditions and a slowing-distance model

(a) Find y=f(x)y=f(x) through (1,0)(1,0) and (−1,2)(-1,2) with dy/dx=3x2−x−2+Cdy/dx=3x^2-x^{-2}+C. marks

(b) Perry jogs a distance xx kilometres in tt hours. The difference between his initial speed and his speed at time tt is proportional to distance covered. He starts at 55 km/h and travels at 44 km/h after 22 km. Find the exact time for a 55 km jog. marks
