1. (a) 1000 = 310 + 650 + 440 – 170 – 150 – 180 + x

x = 100

(b) 150 – 100 = 50

(c) (i) 44

(ii)

n(B) = 34 [6]

2. (a) (i) Substitute z = 2i to get (2i)4 – 2(2i)3 + 7(2i)2 –8(2i) + 12

which reduces to 0

(ii) z = –2i (the conjugate) is the other root.

(b)

3. (a) (i)

(ii) This statement is false

(b) (i) = 10

(ii) 2 x 4! = 48 [8]


4. (a) p = 4, q = 0.2

(b) y = 1 – x becomes y = 4[ 1 – 0.2 x]

i.e. y = 4 – 0.8x

or, if (c) is done before (b), gradient is – 0.8 and intercept is 4

y = 4 – 0.8x

(c) A = ( 5, 0 ) and B = ( 0, 4 )

(d)

(e)

(f) Reflection across y axis

i.e. g(x) becomes – g(x)

(g) A = 0.5 ( ms – rn ) [12]

5. (a)

(b) line

of intersection and accuracy

(c) sin x

(d) 2cos x . sin x = sin 2x [8]

6. (a) Let the numbers be 2k – 1, 2k + 1, 2k + 3, 2k + 5, 2k + 7

2k 1 + 2k + 1 + 2k + 3 + 2k + 5 + 2k + 7

= 10k + 15

Since 10k + 15 = 5(2k + 3) then divisible by 5.

(b) Assume that is rational, hence =

But – a and b are integers, so is rational.

This contradicts the supposition, and

therefore by contradiction must be irrational. [7]


7. For :

True for n = 1

Assume true for :

ie

Prove true for :

Proof:

as required

Therefore, True for n = k + 1, and since true for n =1,

true for all whole numbers. [5]

8. wz = (2 + ai)(3b + i) = 4

6b + 2i + 3abi – a = 4

6b – a = 4 and 2 + 3ab = 0

2 +3(6b – 4)(b) = 0

9b2 – 6b +1 = 0

b = and a = –2 [5]


9. (a) RHS =

(b) (i)

and

=

= |p| |q| [ cos A cos B + sin A sin B ]

(ii) cos(A + B) = cos(A – (–B)) = cos A cos (–B) + sin A sin (–B)

= cos A cos B – sin A sin B

(iii) cos2 A + [cos(120 + A)]2 +[cos(120– A)]2

= cos2 A + [cos 120cos A – sin120sin A]2 +[cos120cos A + sin120sin A]2

= cos2 A + [ + [

= 1.5 cos2 A + 1.5 sin2 A

= 1.5 [13]

10. (a) (3a – b) (a + 3b) = 3a a – b a + 9a b – 3b b

= 3|a|2 + 8ab – 3|b|2

= 3 + 8|a||b|cos – 3

= 8cos as required

(b) = (4,1)

Unit vector on x axis = (1,0)

Length of projection = | PQ. | = |4| = 4 [7]

11. (a) Let the cost of a bottle of orange concentrate cost x

Let the cost of a bottle of banana concentrate cost y

5x + 1y = 19

2x + 3y = 18

(b)

(ii) Rotation of 270 clockwise

(b) P = 6(B – 2A) x B –1

(c) BA =

14. (a) 3(2i + 3j) – (mi – 5j) = 8i + 14j

(6 – m)i + 14j = 8i + 14j

6 – m = 8

m = – 2

(b) 2i + 3j = k(mi – 5j)

2 = km and 3 = –5k

k = – 0.6 and by substitution, m =

Similarly, DBC = 30

(ii) Assume E is the centre.

All angles of ABE = 60
