Write in dark blue or black pen. You may use an HB pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, glue or correction fluid. Answer all questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. If working is needed for any question it must be shown with the answer. Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. At the end of the paper, fasten all your work securely together. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. The total number of marks for this paper is 30.

(a) 324 3 1y x x x= − + − [1] (b) ( ) 22 2 21 21 x y x − = − , leaving your answer in the form 221kx x − , where k is a constant. [2] 2 A curve has the equation ( ) 2 5y px=− . The gradient of the curve at (2, )q is 4− . Find the value(s) of p and q given that p > q. [4]
4 3 (a) Find the first three terms, in ascending powers of x, in the expansion of ( ) 82 px− . [2] (b) When ( ) ( ) 2 81 2 2x px−− is expanded as far as the term in 2x , the result is 2q rx+ . Find the value of p, q and r. [4]
