Hence, write down the first four non-zero terms in the Maclaurin’s series for f. x [6] Use your result to deduce the first four non-zero terms in the Maclaurin’s series for 1c o sln 1 x x . [1] 3. A tunnel is built to facilitate the transpor tation of goods by trains between Country X and Country Y . Due to differences in the rail systems between the two countries, two types of tracks are used – the international track with track gauge of 1435 mm and the narrow track with track gauge of 1000 mm (in rail transport, track gauge is the spacing on a railway track). It is known that the cross-section of the tunnel is a half ellipse with centre O and width MN (see diagram). The maximum height of the tunnel is 2000 mm. To standardize the volumes of the goods to be transported, the areas ABCD and EFGH are made equal. Find the width of the tunnel MN , giving your answer to the nearest mm.

The canvas would extend diagonally at an angle of from the ground to a height of 3 m, where it will then stretch horizontally to the school building (see diagram for the cross-sectional view).

Mac has a 2400 000 m farm and on his farm, an area of 260 000 m is covered in weeds in June, and in September, the area increases to 269 500 m . The growth of weeds is such that the area covered in weeds increases at a monthly rate directly proportional to its area. At the same time, Mac does weeding at a constant rate of 240 0 0m per month. Let the area of the farm covered in weeds at time t (in months) be 2mA . (i) By considering a differential equation, show that ektA , where , k and are constants to be determined.

6 9. A researcher conducted a study on the radioisotope, Iodine-131 (I-131) which has a half- life of 8 days (i.e., the amount of I-131 is halved every 8 days). He first introduced 1000 mg of I-131 in an empty Petri dish on Day 1 and tracked the amount of I-131 in the dish. (i) State the amount of I-131 in the dish at the end of 16 days. [1] After every 16 days, i.e., on Day 17, Day 33, Day 49 etc., the researcher added 1000 mg of I-131 to the dish. (ii) Find the amount of I-131, to the nearest mg, in the dish immediately after 1000 mg of I-131 was added on Day 49. [3] (iii) Show that the amount of I-131 in the dish will never exceed 1334 mg. [2] The researcher discovered that he accidentally used a different radioisotope, Iodine-125 (I-125) on Day 1, which has a half-life of 60 days instead. He checked that he had indeed used the correct I-131 on other occasions. (iv) Find the total amount of radioisotopes I-125 and I-131 in the dish on Day 121, giving your answer correct to the nearest mg. [4] 10.
