Write in dark blue or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid. Answer all the 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. You are expected to use a graphic calculator. Unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are allowed unless a question specifically states otherwise. Where unsupported answers from a graphic calculator are not allowed in a question, you are required to present the mathematical steps using mathematical notations and not calculator commands. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. This document consists of 6 printed pages. © TJC/Prelim Exam 2014/MA H2 9740 [ Turn over

TJC/Prelim Exam/2014/MA H2 9740/01 3 6 A contagious disease was found to infect a village with a population of 10000 people. Let P, in thousands, be the number of infected people t days after the start of the outbreak. The disease spread at a rate that was proportional to the product of the number of infected people and the number of non-infected people. It was found that when P reached half the initial population of the village, the disease was spreading at a rate of 1000 people per day. Show that the spread of the disease can be modelled by the differential equation 2 25 5d d2 5 PP t . [2] Given that 100 people were infected by the disease initially, find P in terms of t. [3] Explain what would happen to the village population in the long term. [2] 7 A convergent geometric sequence of positive terms, G has first term a and common ratio r. Write down, in terms of a and r, an expression for the nth odd-numbered term of G. [ 1 ] If the sum of first n odd-numbered terms of G is equal to the sum of all terms of G after the nth odd-numbered term, show that 22 121 0nnrr . (i) Hence find the value of r when 5n . [3] (ii) In another sequence H, each term is the reciprocal of the corresponding term of G. If the nth term of G and H is denoted by nu and nv respectively, show that a new sequence whose nth term is ln n n u v , is an arithmetic progression. [4] [Turn over
