√
1. Find the Taylor expansion of f (x) = 4x + 4 for x near to 3, up to and including the x2
term. [6]

2. Find the area between the function f (x) = (x − 4)/x and the x-axis for 3 ≤ x ≤ 7, and
working to at least 4 significant digits. [6]

3. Use the variables separable method to solve the problem

dy

dt
for y(t). [7]
Z 5√
4. Approximate the integral x2 − 9 dx using the Trapezoidal rule with four equal strips,
3
and working to at least 4 significant digits. [5]

5. Work out (2 − i3)2 in the form a + ib. [2]

4i
6. Work out in the form a + ib. [4]
(7 − i6)
7. Sketch z = −4 + i5 on the Argand diagram, find the modulus |z| exactly, and principal
argument Arg(z) (in radians to at least 3 decimal places) and hence write z in polar form.

8. The price P (in £) that a specialised component can be sold for depends on the average
number x manufactured each day. Note that the average number x need not be a whole
number. The process requires at least 1 to be made each day, and there is capacity to
make up to 10. The relationship between price and average number per day is found to
be
P (x) = 500 − x3 − 45x + 12x2 .
The turning points of this function are at x = 3, 5. Use the second derivative test on each
to determine if it is a local maximum or minimum. State the allowable range for x, find
the values of x where the global maximum and minimum occur and state clearly what
the global maximum and minimum prices are. [9]
