Guide time
The guide time for this assignment is 1 hour 30 minutes.
1 Find the value of xdx (3)
2 The adult population of a town is 25 000 at the end of Year 1.
A model predicts that the adult population of the town will increase by 3 per cent each year, forming a geometric sequence.
(a) Show that the predicted adult population at the end of Year 2
is 25 750 (1)
(b) Write down the common ratio of the geometric sequence. (1)
The model predicts that Year N will be the first year in which the adult population of the town exceeds 40?000
(c) Show that
(N – 1) log1.03 log1.6 (3)
(d) Find the value of N.
3 (a) Differentiate with respect to x (2)
(i) e3x + ln 2x (2)
(ii) 5 + x2 (3)
(b) (i) Differentiate e3x cos x with respect to x. (2)
(ii) The curve C has equation y = e3x cos x
Find an equation of the tangent to C at the point where x = 0
(3)
4 (a) Using the identity cos2 ? + sin2 ? = 1, show that
tan2 ? = sec2 ? – 1 (2)
(b) Solve, for 2tan 0°???360°2 , the equation ? = 2 (6)

the 30-day season.
He pays £a for their first day, £(a + d) for their second day, £(a + 2d) for their third day, and so on, thus increasing the daily payment by £d for each extra day they work.
A picker who works for all 30 days will earn £103.50 on the final day. (a) Use this information to form an equation in a and d. (2) A picker who works all 30 days will earn a total of £2452.50.
(b) Show that 15(a + 103.5) = 2452.5 (2)
(c) Hence find the value of the first day’s pay and the daily increase in payment. (4)
6 (a) Find the x-coordinates of the turning points of the curve
y = x3 – 3x2 – 9x + 11. (3)
(b) Find the nature of each of these turning points. (3)
(c) Find the coordinates of the point of inflection of the curve (3)
7 (a) Use the identity cos(A + B) = cosAcosB – sinAsinB to show that
cos 2A = 1 – 2sin2A (2)
The curves C1 and C2 have equations
C1: y = 3sin 2x
C2: y = 4sin2x – 2cos 2x
(b) Show that the x-coordinate of the points where C1 and C2 intersect
satisfy the equation 4cos 2x + 3sin 2x = 2 (3)
(c) Express 4cos 2x + 3sin 2x in the form R cos(2x – a), where R 0 and 0 a 90°, giving the value of a to 2 decimal places. (3)
(d) Hence find, for 0 x 180°, all the solutions of the equation
4cos 2x + 3sin 2x = 2 giving your answers to 1 decimal place. (4)

constants to be found. (3)
The finite region R is bounded by the curve with equation y = g(x), the coordinate axes and the line x = ½
(b) Find the area of R, giving your answer in the form a ln 2 + b ln 3 (7)
9 (a) Prove that

(i) 1+cosx = 2cos
2 sinx x
(ii) = tan (2)
1+cosx 2
(b) Hence show that tan 22.5°= 2-1 (3)
