Write in dark blue or black pen. You may use an HB pencil for any diagrams or graphs. Do not use paper clips, 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. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. 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. The total number of marks for this paper is 90. For Examiner’s Use

4 2 The table below shows experimental values of two variables x and y. x 2 4 6 8 y 8.48 5.99 4.90 4.24 It is known that x and y are connected by the equation nyx k= , where k and n are constants. (a) Plot ln y against ln x , using a scale of 4 cm for 1 unit on both axes, for the given data and draw a straight line graph on the grid on page 5. [2] (b) Use your graph to estimate the value of n and of k. [3] (c) Use your graph to estimate the value of x when 2ye= . [2]

5 (d) On the same diagram, draw the straight line representing the equation 3yx= and hence find the value of x for which 3 nxk+ = [3]

6 3 The diagram shows part of the curve ( ) 2 9 1 3 y x =− − which intersects the x-axis at the origin and at the point P. The normal at the point Q on the curve cuts the x-axis at R. The gradient of the curve at Q is 18. (a) Find the coordinates of Q. [3] y x Q P R

7 (b) Find the coordinates of R. [3]
