You remove the disc numbered 1, and, going clockwise, leave the next one, remove the one after that, leave the next one, and so on until only one disc remains. The discs which you remove are, in order, numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2, 6, 10, 8. The remaining disc is numbered 4. 1 Copy and complete the table showing the number on the remaining disc when you have 2 discs, 3 discs, 4 discs, …., 20 discs in the circle.

3 © UCLES 2009 0607/06/M/J/09 [Turn over 2 When you have 2, 4, 8 or 16 discs in the circle, the number on the remaining disc is always the same as the total number of discs in the circle. Assume this pattern continues. Write down the next three numbers when this happens. 3 Use question 2, and any patterns you see in your table, to find the number on the remaining disc when the circle contains (a) 65 discs, (b) 125 discs, (c) 200 discs, (d) 100 000 discs. 4 Find an algebraic expression for the number of discs in the circle, when the remaining disc is numbered 10. 5 Consider the original ten discs again. Remove the disc numbered 10, and going anticlockwise, leave the next one, remove the one after that, leave the next one, and so on until only one disc remains. You should finish with the disc numbered 7. (a) (i) Write down the numbers on the discs in the order in which you remove them. (ii) When you started with the disc numbered 1 and worked clockwise, the order was 1 3 5 7 9 2 6 10 8 Compare this order with the order you have written down in part (a) (i). Explain how the two orders are related. (b) (i) When you have n discs in the circle and work clockwise from the disc numbered 1, the number on the remaining disc is x. When you work anticlockwise from the disc numbered n, the number on the remaining disc is y. Find a rule connecting x, y and n. (ii) Find the number on the remaining disc when there are 100 discs and you work anticlockwise by first removing the disc numbered 100. Part B is on the next page.

MODELLING HANGING CHAIN 16 marks P Q y 0 x A B NOT TO SCALE The diagram shows two vertical poles (AP and BQ) that support the ends (A and B) of a hanging chain. The chain is symmetrical about the y-axis. The poles are each 7.52 metres high and are 4 metres apart. The lowest point of the chain is 2 metres above the horizontal ground (PQ). The units are in metres. 1 Write down the co-ordinates of A, B and the lowest point of the chain. 2 The scientist Galileo chose one of the following models for the shape of a hanging chain. Which model best fits the hanging chain in the diagram? y = ax + b y = | ax + b | y = ax2 + b y = a sin x + b 3 Use the co-ordinates of the lowest point of the chain to find the value of b in your chosen model. 4 Find the value of a in your chosen model. 5 According to your model, how high is the chain above a point on the ground that is 50 cm from one of the poles? 6 Today, engineers use the model y = k       + x w x w 1 , w > 1, for a hanging chain. (a) Use the co-ordinates of the lowest point of the chain to find the value of k. (b) Find the value of w for this model. 7 The two models give heights for the hanging chain. The difference in these heights is h. (a) Sketch the graph of h against x. (b) Find the greatest difference in height between the two models.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2009 question paper for the guidance of teachers 0607 CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICS 0607/06 Paper 6 (Extended), maximum raw mark 40 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination. • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2009 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.XtremePapers.com
