1. Find the sum of the series 12  22 + 32  42 + … – (2n)2. [5]

2 x2  2 x  3
2. (a) Given that  k , show that (2  k)x² + 2x + (4k  3) = 0.
x2  4
Hence determine the values taken by k when x is real. [4]
2 x2  2 x  3
(b) A curve has equation y  .
x2  4
(i) State the equations of its three asymptotes. [2]
(ii) Find the coordinates of the turning points. (There is no need to establish whether they are
maximum or minimum points) [3]
(iii) Sketch the curve. [4]

x n sin x dx , prove that

I n  πn  n(n  1) I n2 where n ≥ 2. [5]

Find I 4 , leaving your answer in terms of powers of . [3]

4. An electronic game at a fairground involves a square screen as shown in the diagram.
