Calculus II questions with worked answers
These 8 questions are printed in full on this page and are drawn across all 7 course units. Nothing here is generated on the fly. Cover the options, solve each one on paper, and only then open the worked answer to compare your method with the one shown.
Question 1: Evaluate the integral of x times e^x from 0 to 1.
Calculus II · Integration techniques
- 1
- e - 1
- e
- e + 1
Show the worked answer
- Use integration by parts with u = x and dv = e^x dx.
- Then du = dx and v = e^x, so the antiderivative is x e^x - e^x.
- At x = 1 that is e - e = 0.
- At x = 0 it is 0 - 1 = -1, so the value is 0 - (-1) = 1.
Answer: 1
Question 2: The region under y = the square root of x from x = 0 to x = 4 is revolved about the x-axis. What is the volume?
Calculus II · Applications of integration
- 8 pi
- 16 pi
- 4 pi
- 32 pi / 3
Show the worked answer
- Use disks: the volume is pi times the integral of (radius)^2, and the radius is the square root of x.
- The square of the square root of x is just x.
- The integral of x from 0 to 4 is x^2 / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8.
- Multiply by pi: the volume is 8 pi.
Answer: 8 pi
Question 3: Evaluate the improper integral of 1 / x^3 from 1 to infinity.
Calculus II · Improper integrals
- 1/2
- 1
- diverges
- 1/3
Show the worked answer
- An antiderivative of x^-3 is -1 / (2x^2).
- At the upper limit, -1 / (2x^2) approaches 0 as x grows.
- At x = 1 the antiderivative is -1/2.
- 0 - (-1/2) = 1/2, so the integral converges to 1/2.
Answer: 1/2
Question 4: What is the limit of the sequence a(n) = (1 + 2/n)^n as n approaches infinity?
Calculus II · Sequences
- e^2
- 1
- e
- infinity
Show the worked answer
- This matches the standard form (1 + k/n)^n, whose limit is e^k.
- Here k = 2.
- You can also take logs: n ln(1 + 2/n) is about n times 2/n = 2 for large n.
- So the limit is e^2, about 7.389.
Answer: e^2
Question 5: Find the sum of the series 5 + 5(2/3) + 5(2/3)^2 + ... .
Calculus II · Infinite series
- 15
- 7.5
- 10
- the series diverges
Show the worked answer
- This is geometric with first term 5 and ratio 2/3.
- Because the ratio is between -1 and 1, the series converges to first term / (1 - ratio).
- 1 - 2/3 = 1/3.
- 5 divided by 1/3 is 5 x 3 = 15.
Answer: 15
Question 6: Find the sum from n = 1 to infinity of 1 / (n(n + 1)).
Calculus II · Infinite series
- 1
- 1/2
- 2
- the series diverges
Show the worked answer
- Split the term into partial fractions: 1 / (n(n + 1)) = 1/n - 1/(n + 1).
- The partial sum is (1 - 1/2) + (1/2 - 1/3) + ... + (1/N - 1/(N + 1)).
- Almost everything cancels, leaving 1 - 1/(N + 1).
- As N grows, 1/(N + 1) goes to 0, so the sum is 1.
Answer: 1
Question 7: What is the radius of convergence of the series with terms n(x - 2)^n / 3^n?
Calculus II · Power series
- 3
- 1
- 1/3
- infinite
Show the worked answer
- Apply the ratio test to the size of consecutive terms.
- The ratio simplifies to ((n + 1) / n) times |x - 2| / 3.
- (n + 1) / n approaches 1, so the limit is |x - 2| / 3.
- Convergence needs that limit below 1, so |x - 2| < 3 and the radius is 3.
Answer: 3
Question 8: What is the area enclosed by the polar curve r = 4 sin(theta)?
Calculus II · Parametric and polar curves
- 4 pi
- 8 pi
- 16 pi
- 2 pi
Show the worked answer
- Polar area is one half the integral of r^2, and the full curve is traced from theta = 0 to pi.
- r^2 = 16 sin^2(theta), and the average value of sin^2 over that range is 1/2.
- So the integral of 16 sin^2 from 0 to pi is 16 x (pi / 2) = 8 pi.
- Half of 8 pi is 4 pi. This makes sense: the curve is a circle of radius 2.
Answer: 4 pi
Which unit each printed question belongs to
Use this map after marking your work. If two misses share a unit, review that unit before starting a generated set.
How the generated Calculus II sets are created
The 8 questions above are fixed and checked. The generator at the top of the page is different: it writes fresh questions with AI from the course and unit information shown here, then the application checks each one for a complete prompt, four choices, one keyed answer, and an explanation. Generated questions are original practice—not official or released exam questions—and AI can still make mathematical mistakes. Verify a disputed answer with the stated method, your course materials, or the MathGPT solver, and follow the site's academic-integrity guidance.
Questions about this Calculus II practice page
What does this page cover?
It covers all 7 Calculus II units listed above. Choose one unit for focused work, or mixed review to test method selection, and switch to test mode when you want all units mixed under time.
When can I see correct answers and explanations?
The 8 printed questions on this page keep their worked answers behind a toggle, so you can check any one of them straight away. In the generator above, practice mode explains each question as soon as you answer it, while test mode holds every explanation until you submit.
What should I do with a missed question?
Classify the miss as a definition, setup, calculation, interpretation, or timing error. Re-solve it from a blank page, then use the MathGPT tutor for a hint or method check.
