2 of 6 (the “of n” is hidden for our own reference) 2023 JC2 H2 Mathematics Preliminary Examination Paper 2 Section A: Pure Mathematics (40 marks) 1 The complex numbers z and w satisfy the following equations. 4 5i 7 (1 i) 8 30 zw zw += −+= Find z and w, giving your answers in the form iab+ where a and b are real numbers. [4] 2 (a) Find the exact roots of the equation 2 7 3 13xx x− +=− . [3] (b) On the same axes, sketch the curves with equations 2 73yx x=−+ and 13 ,yx= − indicating the value of the x-coordinates of any intersections. Hence solve exactly the inequality 2 7 3 13xx x− +<− . [5] 3 The variables x and y are related by the differential equation ( )dπ 3 π tan 0d y yxx +− = . (a) Using the substitution secyz x= , show that d3 d π zz x −= . Hence, show that the particular solution for which 2y= when π 3x= can be expressed in the form cos e a bxyx += where a and b are constants to be determined. [6] (b) For the graph of the solution found in part (a), find the equations of the two vertical asymptotes closest to the y-axis. [2] 4 A curve C has equation 33x y xy A+−= where A is a non-zero constant. (a) Show that any stationary points on C lie on 23yx= . [2] (b) Find, in terms of A, the x-coordinates of the stationary points, and hence determine the range of values of A for which C has two distinct stationary points. [4] (
