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. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. This document consists of 6 printed pages. © TJC 2012 [Turn over

[1] (iii) Find the equation of the normal to the ellipse E at the point P, in the form of y mx c where m and c are single trigonometric expressions of . [3] 2 Consider the equation 322 1 2i i 2 2i 0z z a b z , where a and b are real. Given that 2 is a root of the equation, find the values of a and b. [3] Given also that 1i is another root, find the third root of the equation. [3] 3 HIMHEYS' Confectionery recently created three types of chocolate: Organic white, Organic milk and Organic dark, available in 250g bars. Cocoa butter, an essential ingredient in chocolate bars, make s up 25%, 20% and 15% of the mass of an Organic white, Organic milk and Organic dark chocolate bar respectively. To prepare for the official launch of the ir chocolate bars at an upcoming Food Expo, HIMHEYS' decides to manufacture a total of 300 bars for the event, with more th an 70 bars of each type. The confectionary intends to use 14kg of cocoa butter in the production of t he above batch of chocolate bars. I f the number of milk chocolate bars is to be smaller than the number of white chocolat e bars, d etermine how many organic chocolate ba rs of each type can be produced. [6] 4 Referred to an origin O, the position vectors of two points A and B are a and b respectively. The points P on OA and Q on AB are such that OP = 2 PA and 5AQ = 4 QB. Show that the equati on of the line l passing through P and Q can be written as r = 2 43 a b a , where . [4] The point X on l is such that AX is perpendicular to l. If 2, 1ab and a is perpendicular to b, show that the position vector of X is 1 11 415 ab . [4] [Turn over

[3] Hence, or otherwise, show that 2cos 11 sin 2 xx xx . [2] 7 (a) A finite arithmetic progression has n terms and common difference d. The first term is 1 and the sum of the l ast 5 terms exceeds the sum of the first 4 terms by 193. (i) Show that 5nd 21d192 = 0. [3] (ii) Given also that the 6th term of the progression is 16, find n. [2] (b) A sequence U is formed in which the nth term is given by nte where nt is the nth term of an arithmetic progression with first term 1t =1. (i) Show that U is a geometric progression. [2] (ii) Given that the sum to infinity of even -numbered terms of U is 8 63 e , find the common ratio of U. [3] [Turn over

[6] (b) In an experiment to study the spread of a soil disease, an area of 15 m 2 of soil was exposed to infection. In a simple model, it is assumed that the infected area grows at a rate which is proportional to the product of the infected area and the uninfected area. Initially, 5 m 2 was infected and the rate of growth of the infected area was 0.1 m 2 per hour . At time t hours after the start of the experiment, an area x m2 is infected. (i) Show that (15 )d d 500 xxx t . [2] (ii) Solve the differential equation and express t in terms of x. [4] (iii) Find the minimum time in hours needed for 95% of the soil area to become infected.
