4 2 The cubic polynomial f(x) is such that the coefficient of x3 is –1 and the roots of f(x) = 0 are 1, k and k2. It is given that f(x) has a remainder of –7 when divided by x – 2. (i) Show that 32 2 2 3 0k k k− − − = . [3] (ii) Hence find a value for k and explain that there are no other real values of k which satisfy this equation. [6]
5 [Turn over 3 (i) Given that ( 2) 1y x x= + − , show that d d 21 y kx x x = − where k is constant. [4] Hence (ii) find the rate of change of x when x = 2, given that y is changing at a constant rate of 2 units per second, [2] (iii) evaluate 5 2 d 1 x x x− . [3]
6 4 The diagram above shows the side view of a bus stop shelter BCD such that BC = 4 m, CD = 1 m, angle 90BCD= and angle CBA = . AB is a concrete pavement under the shelter such that DA is perpendicular to AB. (i) Show that sincos4 +=AB . [2] (ii) Express AB in the form )cos( −R , where R > 0 and 0 90oo . [3] B C D A 1 m 4 m
7 [Turn over (iii) State the maximum value of AB and find the corresponding value of when AB is maximum. [2] (iv) Find the value of when AB = 3 m. [2]
8 5 (a) A curve has the equation 226y x x c= − + , where c is a constant. Find the value of c for which the line 28yx+= is a tangent to the curve. [3] (b) Represent the solution set of 23( 5) 1xx− − on the number line. [3] (c) Find the greatest value of integer p for which 22x x p− + − has real roots for all real values of x. [3]
9 [Turn over 6 (i) Expand and simplify 5 1 22 x − in ascending powers of x, up to the first 4 terms. [2] (ii) Hence find the value of a if the coefficient of 2x in the expansion of ( ) 5 2 11 3 2 2ax x x + + − is 13 2 . [4] (iii) Using the answer from part (i), evaluate ( ) 5 0.47 correct to 5 decimal places. [3]
