Sub d = 2a into 2a + 99 d = 200, get d = 2 and a = 1. 2 22 8Ax By Cy (2,1) 4A + B + C = 8 -----(1) Diff (*) wrt x : dd2 2 0 dd yyAx By C xx d2 d2 y Ax x By c Tangent at (2,1) // y-axis : 2B + C = 0 ------(2) [1] Diff again wrt x : 222 22 d d d2 2 0 d d d y y yA B y C x x x When y = 0 , d3 d2 y x and 2 2 d9 d4 y x 392 2 0 24A B C (3) Solve the 3 eqns : get A = 3, B = 4 and C = -8 3 6 4 (2 1)( 3) 03 x x x x 221 03 xx x (2 1)( 1) 03 xx x 3 (2 1)( 1) 0x x x 1 or 1 32xx 6 4cosec 1 2sin1 3cosec 6sin 4 1 2sinsin 3 Replace x by sin , 1sin , 1 sin 32 7 11 or6 6 2 4 (i) Reversing the transformations: a. Stretch parallel to y-axis by factor ½ gives 2 1 24 y x b. Translate 1 unit to the right gives 2 1 2 4 ( 1) y x c.

(ii) nS = 11 2 ( 1)( 2)nn by observation. (iii) Let nP be the statement “ nS = 11 2 ( 1)( 2)nn ” for nZ P1 is true from (i) Assume that kP is true for some kZ ie. kS = 11 2 ( 1)( 2)kk We need to show that 1kP is true, ie to prove that 1kS = 11 2 ( 2)( 3)kk LHS = 1kS = kS + (k+1)th term = 11 2 ( 1)( 2)kk + 2 ( 1)( 2)( 3)k k k = 1 3 2 2 ( 1)( 2)( 3) k k k k = 11 2 ( 2)( 3)kk = RHS Therefore 1kP is true. Since 1P is true and kP is true 1kP is true, by MI, nP is true for nZ 6 (i) By pythagoras’ theorem: 24lr and 2 2 2 2 (2 ) 4 4R r R r R A = πrl A = π 4 4 4RR 24πA R R (ii) dA dA dR dV dt dR dV dt 22 2 (2 1) 1 84 dA R dt R RR 2 (4 1) 1 3 3 2 84 (4) 24 2 2 dA dt 7 (i) Since the sequence converges to L, ie as 1, and nnn x L x L 3 22 1 1 12 3 2 1 13L L L L L LLL (ii) Consider 1nnxx = 2 11 23 nn n xx x 324 43 dVV R R dR
