Solve the inequality |x + 2| < |5— 2x]. [4] The cubic polynomial 3x3 + ax? — 2x - 8 is denoted by f(x). @ Given that (x + 2) is a factor of f(x), find the value of a. (2] {ii) When a has this value, factorise f(x) completely. (3] Two variable quantities x and y are related by the equation = Ax’, where A and n are constants. Iny » Inx When a graph is plotted showing values of In y on the vertical axis and values of Inx on the horizontal axis, the points lie on a straight line. This line crosses the vertical axis at the point (0, 2.3) and also passes through the point (4.0, 1.7), as shown in the diagram. Find the values of A and 7. (s (i) Express 3cos @ + 2sin 6 in the form Rcos(@ — a), where R > 0 and 0° < @& < 90°, stating the exact value of R and giving the value of a correct to 1 decimal place. [3 Gi) Solve the equation 3cos @ + 2sin @ = 3.5, giving al] solutions in the interval 0° < 6 < 180°. [4 (iii) The graph of y = 3cos@ +4 2sin@, for 0° < @ < 180°, has one stationary point. State the coordinates of this point. {1 s70gr2nW.I02

(3] Gi) Determine, by sketching the appropriate part of the graph of » = sec.x, whether the trapezium rule gives an under-estimate or an over-estimate of the tue value. (2) The parametric equations of a curve are x=14+2Inz, y=21-Ins, where ¢ takes all positive values. {i} Express > in terms of ¢. (3) (ii) Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point where ¢ = 1. [3] Gii) The curve has one stationary point. Show that the y-coordinate of this point is 1 + In2 and determine whether this point is a maximum or a minimum. [4] ‘S70RamNYJIOD
