KCPSS 2023/Sec 4Exp/5N Prelim AM P2 4 1 In 2005, Andrew bought a painting. In 2008, the value of the painting is estimated to be $3878.58. The value V (t), in dollars, of the painting t years after being purchased is given by the function V (t) = 2400 ekt , where k is a constant. (a) What was the value of the painting after 10 years? [4] (b) If Andrew intended to sell the painting after its value had at least doubled, which is the earliest year that he can sell it? [2]

KCPSS 2023/Sec 4Exp/5N Prelim AM P2 [Turn over 7 3 It is given that f(x) = x3 + ax2 + bx + 5, where a and b are constants, has a factor of x – 1 and leaves a remainder of − 1 when divided by x − 2. (a) Find the values of a and b. [3] (b) Using these values of a and b, factorise f(x) completely into three linear factors, using surds where necessary. [3]
