This investigation looks at sequences of fractions. One way to form a sequence is by using fractions within fractions as shown below. 1 1 then 1 1 1 + 1 then 1 1 1 + 1 + 1 1 then and so on. 1 1 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 1 1 The first three terms of a sequence of fractions are 1, 2 1 , 3 2 . These terms are calculated in the following way. 1 1 1 + 1 + 1 1 2 1 + 1 3 2 1 1 = = = 2 3 1 1 1 + 1 1 + 1 1 = = 1 2 1 1 = 1 (a) Fill in the box to complete the calculation of the 4th term. 3 2 1 5 3 1 1 1 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 1 1 2 3 5 1 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 1 = = = = =

This means that the terms become nearly equal to the same number. This number is called the limit of the sequence. (a) In the sequence in question 1 all the terms after the 7th term are the same when written correct to 3 decimal places. If x is a fraction in the sequence in question 1 then the next fraction is x + 1 1 . In this case the sequence reaches its limit when x x + = 1 1 . (i) Show that x x + = 1 1 can be rearranged to give the quadratic equation x2 + x − 1 = 0. (ii) Solve x2 + x − 1 = 0 and write down the positive decimal solution, correct to 3 decimal places. (iii) Complete the table for the sequence in question 1. Fraction 1 1 2 1 3 2 5 3 8 5 21 13 Decimal 1 0.5 0.667 0.6 0.625 0.619

(iii) Explain the connection between the decimals in part (b)(i) and your answer to part (b)(ii). (c) The positive solution of x N x + = 1 gives the limit of these sequences of fractions. (i) x N x + = 1 can be rearranged to give the quadratic equation x2 + x − N = 0. Solve x2 + x − N = 0 and write down the positive value of x in terms of N. (ii) Find three integer values of N that make the limit a positive integer.

She intends to walk, jog and run to increase her fitness. 1 (a) On day 1 she walks 1.5 km in 20 minutes. Show that her average walking speed is 4.5 km/h. (b) On day 2 she increases her average walking speed to 5 km/h. How many minutes does it take her to walk the 1.5 km? (c) Viola wants to increase her average walking speed by 0.5 km/h each day. If she does, on which day will she walk at an average of 6.5 km/h? 2 She now begins to jog as well as walk. On day 7 she jogs for 20 minutes at 8.1 km/h. What distance does she jog?

(e) The next month Viola walks for 20 minutes, jogs for 20 minutes and runs for the rest of the hour. She travels a total distance of 9 km. Work out her average speed when she is running. (f) The next month Viola walks for x minutes, jogs for y minutes and runs for the rest of the hour. Her average speed when she is running does not change from the value found in part (e). (i) Extend your model in part (b) for the total distance, D km, to include walking for x minutes, jogging for y minutes and running for the rest of the hour.

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2014 series 0607 CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICS 0607/62 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 should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2014 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.
