ACS(Independent)MathDept/Y3IPAdvancedMathPaper2/2020/FinalExamination 2 Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be supported by working and/or explanations. In particular, solutions found from a graphic display calculator should be supported by suitable working, e.g. if graphs are used to find a solution, yo u should sketch these as part of your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for correct method, provided this is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working. 1. [Maximum marks: 8] The polynomial ( ) ( ) 32( ) 2 7 2 3 7 3f x x k x k x k= + − + − − , leaves a remainder of − 12 when divided by ( )1x− . (a) Find the value of k.

[5 marks] (b) The volume of a rectangular freight container, 3 mV , is given by the equation, 32 6V x x x= − − . (i) Write down the dimension of the rectangular freight container in terms of x. [2 marks] (ii) Find the dimensions of the rectangular freight container with a volume of 324 m , showing clearly there is only one real answer. [6 marks] 3. [Maximum marks: 8] At the clinical development stage, a vaccine was tested for its effectiveness in treating a strain of bacteria. The number of bacteria cells, N, after t number of days, may be estimated by using the formula, 12000 ktNe −= , where k > 0. (a) State the initial number of bacteria cells. [1 mark] (b) Given that the number of bacteria cells decreases to 7352 after a week, find the value of k. [3 marks] For the new vaccine to be certified effective, it must be able to reduce the number of bacteria cells to
