2 1 Solve the inequality 2x 1 3x . [4] 2 The cubic polynomial 2x3 ax2 b is denoted by f(x). It is given that (x 1) is a factor of f(x), and that when f(x) is divided by (x 2) the remainder is 5. Find the values of a and b. [5] 3 (i) Express 9x in terms of y, where y 3x. [1] (ii) Hence solve the equation 2(9x) 7(3x) 3 0, expressing your answers for x in terms of logarithms where appropriate. [5] 4 (i) By sketching a suitable pair of graphs, show that there is only one value of x in the interval 0 x 1 2π that is a root of the equation sin x 1 x2 . [2] (ii) Verify by calculation that this root lies between 1 and 1.5. [2] (iii) Show that this value of x is also a root of the equation x (cosec x). [1] (iv) Use the iterative formula xn1 (cosecxn) to determine this root correct to 3 significant figures, showing the value of each approximation that you calculate. [3] 5 The angle x, measured in degrees, satisfies the equation cos(x 30 Æ) 3 sin(x 60 Æ). (i) By expanding each side, show that the equation may be simplified to (2 3) cos x sin x. [3] (ii) Find the two possible values of x lying between 0 Æ and 360 Æ. [3] (iii) Find the exact value of cos 2x, giving your answer as a fraction. [3] 9709/2/O/N/02

3 6 (a) Find the value of 1 2π 0 (sin 2x cos x) dx. [4] (b) The diagram shows part of the curve y 1 x 1. The shaded region R is bounded by the curve and by the lines x 1, y 0 and x p. (i) Find, in terms of p, the area of R. [3] (ii) Hence find, correct to 1 decimal place, the value of p for which the area of R is equal to 2. [2] 7 The equation of a curve is 2x2 3y2 2xy 10. (i) Show that dy dx y 2x 3y x. [4] (ii) Find the coordinates of the points on the curve where the tangent is parallel to the x-axis. [5] 9709/2/O/N/02
