i.e. y 2  4 x ln x  5
Before transformation A: y 2  4  x  5  ln ( x  5)  5 (replace x by x – 5)

i.e. y 2  2  x  5  ln x
Hence f ( x)  2  x  5  ln x or 4  x  5  ln x
(ii) When 4 < x < 0, x  5 > 1  ln x  5 > 0  y 2  x ln x  5  0

Let Pn denote the statement un  2 2 , n  , n  0
When n = 0, LHS = u0 = 2

RHS= 2  2 1
Thus P0 is true. Required to prove Pk+1:

Assume Pk is true for some k  , k  0 i.e. uk 2 2 uk 1 22
2( k 1) 1
When n = k + 1, uk 1  uk 4( k 1) 2 using the recurrence relation

Hence if Pk is true then Pk 1 is true.

Since P0 is true, and Pk is true  Pk 1 is true, by mathematical induction, Pn is true for all

Question 7
(i) x5 +2x  8= 0
Using GC,  = 1.392 (3d.p.)
(ii) If the sequence converges to L (i.e. the limit of the sequence), then
as n   , xn  L and xn 1  L .
1 1
Thus, we have L  (8  2 L) 5 [since xn1  (8  2 xn )5 ]
 L5  2 L  8  0
From part (i),  is the root of the equation x5  2 x  8  0  L = 

Hence, if the sequence converges, it will converge to 1.392.

(iii) The graphs of y = x and y  (8  2 x) 5 intersect at x = .

(iv) When x1  3 ,   x1  4
By using results in (iii), we have 0  x2   and   x3  x1 .
i.e. 0  x2    x3  x1
Using the GC, the sequence oscillates and converges to 1.392.
(iv) When x1  3 ,   x1  4
By using results in (a) and (b), we have 0  x2   and   x3  x1
i.e. 0  x2    x3  x1
Using the GC, the sequence oscillates and converges to 1.392.

10 In Gringotts Bank, interest is added to an account at the end of each year at a fixed rate of 2%
of the amount in the account at the beginning of that year.
(a) On 1 January 2014, Mr Weasley opened a savings account in the bank. He decided to
deposit $R into his account and he would deposit the same amount on the first day of
each subsequent year. In order to support his family financially, he needs to withdraw the
interest as soon as it has been added. Find the total amount of interest Mr Weasley would
receive on 31 December 2040. [4]
(b) On the same day, Mr Potter also opened a savings account and deposited $H into it.
However for his case, he has decided that he will not withdraw any money out of his
account and that he will deposit $1000 on the first day of each subsequent year. Let Sn
denote the total amount in his account at the end of n years.
(i) Write down the expression for S1 in terms of H and show that
Sn  1.02  H  51000(1.02n1  1) .

(ii) Find the value of n for which the amount in his account exceeds $25000 for the
first time, given that he deposited $2000 on 1 January 2014. [3]

Step 1:
1 2 3 n 1
Let Pn denote    ...   1 for n  .
2! 3! 4! (n  1)! (n  1)!
Step 2: When n = 1,
1 1
LHS = 
2! 2
1 1
RHS = 1  
(1  1)! 2
Therefore, P1 is true.
Step 3: Assume Pk is true for some k    ,

1 2 3 k 1
i.e.    ...   1 .
2! 3! 4! (k  1)! (k  1)!
Step 4: Want to prove Pk 1 is true, i.e.

1 2 3 k k 1 1
   ...    1 .
2! 3! 4! (k  1)! ( k  2)! ( k  2)!
1 2 3 k k 1
LHS =    ...  
2! 3! 4! (k  1)! (k  2)!

(k  2)!

Thus Pk is true  Pk 1 is true.
Step 5: Since P1 is true, and Pk is true  Pk 1 is true, by mathematical induction,


Pn is true for all n  .

1. Burking would like to purchase cement, iron and sand needed for his construction
project. He approached three suppliers A, B and C to enquire about their selling prices
for the materials. The total prices quoted are $9880, $10090 and $10260 respectively.

cement ($) iron ($) sand ($)

Question 1
Let x, y and z be the amount (in tonnes) of cement, iron and
sand that Burking needs.
29 x  450 y  10 z  9880  (1)

32.5 x  460 y  8 z  10090  (2)
22.5 x  480 y  7 z  10260  (3)
Using GC, x = 20, y = 20, z = 30

Therefore, Burking needs 20 tonnes of cement, 20 tonnes of
iron and 30 tonnes of sand.
If he triples his order for cement and sand, then the total
price quoted by
Supplier A = 29(60) + 450(20) + 10(90) = $11640
Supplier B = 32.5(60) + 460(20) + 8(90) = $11870
Supplier C = 22.5(60) + 480(20) + 7(90) = $11580
Thus he should choose Supplier C to minimise cost.

t
(ii) r = –0.9117118456 = –0.912 (to 3 s.f.)
Although the value of |r| is close to 1, the scatter diagram
shows a curvilinear relationship between x and t. Thus, a
linear relationship is not appropriate.
(iii) x  aebt
ln x  ln  aebt 
ln x  ln a  bt , where ln a and b are constants.
So there is a linear relationship between lnx and t. (shown)
r = –0.9938386487 = –0.994 (to 3 s.f.)
(iv) From GC, ln x  0.0123434299t  4.620609296
When x = 15, t = 154.9455144 ≈ 155 mins (to 3 s.f.)
Since t is the independent variable, the line lnx on t is used.

r ≈ –0.994 is close to –1 and x = 15 is within the data range
of x, hence the estimate is reliable.

(i) The resulting equation: y 2  x ln x  5

Before transformation A: y 2  4  x  5  ln ( x  5)  5 (replace x by x – 5)

(ii) When 4 < x < 0, x  5 > 1  ln x  5 > 0  y 2  x ln x  5  0

(iii) The graph of 2   1 is an ellipse with centre at (5, 0)

Thus P0 is true. Required to prove Pk+1:

When n = k + 1, uk 1  uk 4( k 1) 2 using the recurrence relation

  2  (this step or equivalent must be shown)

Hence if Pk is true then Pk 1 is true.

At year 2000, t = 0 and P = 5106,

Particular solution is P  4950000 e 10

The population will be 10 million in the year 2006.

Thus the series converges to 1.

(b) Volume of solid generated y

From part (i),  is the root of the equation x5  2 x  8  0  L = 

It is given q2 < p2.

(ii) The asymptotes are x  5, x   5, y  0

(iii) Domain of ff 1 = Domain of f 1 = Range of f = [ 2, )

For ff 1 ( x)  f 1f ( x), the set of values of x is [ 2, )  (, 4] =[ 2, 4]

(iv) Since range of f = [ 2, )  (, 0) = domain of g,

(b) After n hops, total distance covered:

Minimum value of d = 26.5
