READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST Write your full name, class and index number in the spaces above. Write in dark blue or black pen in the space provided for each question. You may use a HB pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the questions. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. If working is needed for any question, it must be shown in the space below the question. Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks. The total of the marks for this paper is 90. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. If the degree of accuracy is not specified in the question and if the answer is not exact, give the answer to three significant figures. Give answers in degrees to one decimal place. For p, use either your calculator value or 3.142. This document consists of 18 printed pages including the cover page.

4 2 The function f is given by f(π₯)=sin22π₯tan2π₯. (i) Find fβ²(π₯). [2] fβ²(π₯)=(2sin2π₯)(2cos2π₯)tan2π₯+sin22π₯(2sec22π₯) =4(sin2π₯cos2π₯)tan2π₯+2sin22π₯(sec22π₯) =4sin22π₯+2tan22π₯ (ii) Explain why f is an increasing function for 0<π₯<π4. [2] Given 0<π₯<π4 sin22π₯>0 and tan22π₯>0, hence 4sin22π₯+2tan22π₯>0β fβ²(π₯)>0. Since fβ²(π₯)>0, f is an increasing function.
5 [Turn over 3 The equation of a curve is π¦=(4+π)π₯2β2π₯+π, where p is a constant. The curve has a maximum point and intersects the line π¦=2π₯β1. Find the range of values of p. [5] (4+π)π₯2β2π₯+π=2π₯β1 (4+π)π₯2β4π₯+π+1=0 π=4+π,π=β4,π=π+1 Since the curve intersects the line, π2β4ππβ₯0 16β4(4+π)(π+1)β₯0 4β(π2+5π+4)β₯0 βπ2β5πβ₯0 π2+5πβ€0 π(π+5)β€0 β5β€πβ€0 Since curve has a maximum point, π+4<0 π<β 4 Hence β 5β€π<β 4

Therefore, =βπ₯2+(π+4)π₯β(π2+6) is always negative for all real values of m. (shown)
