Study Notes

Examination Overview

  • Mid Semester Examination for B.Sc. Hons. (Mathematics), School of Physical Sciences, Doon University.
  • Total time allocated: 1.5 hours.
  • Maximum marks: 30.
  • Students must attempt four questions from Sections A and B, plus two questions from Section C.

Section A (1.5 x 4 = 6 Marks)

  • Odd and Even Parts of Function: Find odd and even components of ( f(x) = x³ + 5 \sin x + 10x² ).
