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

3 1 The curve 2 4 xy xba− = + , where a and b are constants, intersects the y-axis at A and the x-axis at B and C. The coordinates of B are ( )2,0− . Given that the gradient of AB is 3− , find the value of a and of b. [5]
4 2 The equation of a curve is 3 cos 22y c x=− where c is a constant. The curve passes through the point 1,64 . (a) Find the value of c. [2] (b) Using the value of c found in part (a), sketch the graph of 3 cos 22y c x=− for 02 x . [3] y x
5 3 (a) Write down, and simplify, the first 4 terms in the expansion of 8 1 2 x− in ascending powers of x. [3] (b) Find the coefficient of x in the expansion of 82 213 2 x xx −+ . [3]
6 4 (a) Given that 2 1 xey x= + , 1x , explain, with working, whether y is an increasing or decreasing function. [3] (b) Air is escaping from a hole in a spherical balloon of radius r cm in such a way that the total volume, V cm3, is decreasing at a constant rate of 25 cm3/s. Assuming that the balloon retains its shape, calculate the rate of change of r when 5r = . [3]
7 5 The number of fishes, F in a fish farm after t days can be modelled by the formula 6000 ktF Ae=+ where A and k are constants. Initially, there were 2500 fishes in the fish farm and 5 days later, there were 3500 fishes. (a) Show that 3500A=− [1] (b) Find the number of days required for the fishes to increase its population by 80%. [3] (c) Explain why the number of fishes in the fish farm cannot be 6000. [2]
