Prove the identity cot @ — tan @ = 2cot20. [3] = 3 Expand (1 — 3x) 3 in ascending powers of x, up to and including the term in x3, simplifying the coefficients. [4] The polynomial x* + 4x” + x + a is denoted by p(x). It is given that (x? + x + 2) is a factor of p(x). Find the value of a and the other quadratic factor of p(x). [4] The sequence of values given by the iterative formula 2 Xn = 3(s, +3 with initial value x,= 1, converges to a. @_ Use this formula to find a correct to 2 decimal places, showing the result of each iteration. [3] (ii) State an equation satisfied by a, and hence find the exact value of o. [2] The equation of a curve is y = 2cosx + sin 2x.
