Section A [45 marks] : Answer all questions.

1.Evaluate
6.Given f(x) = x – tan x, show that the equation x – tan x = 0 has a root
(a) [3] between 4.0 and 4.6. [3]
Using the Newton-Raphson method with x0 = 4.4 as an initial
approximation, find the root of the equation x – tan x = 0, correct
to three decimal places. [5]
(b) [3]

Section B [15 marks] : Answer one question only.

2.The equation of a curve is y = – 4x2. You may answer all the questions but only the first answer will be
(a) Find the coordinates of the stationary point, and determine its marked.
nature.[5]
(b) Determine the coordinates of the inflexion point. [2] 7.The equations of two curves are y2 = x3 and y2 = 2 – x2, where x ≥ 0.
(c) Sketch the curve.[3] (a) Sketch the curves on the same coordinate axes, and find the points
of intersection. [5]
3 .Express 3 + 2x – x2 in the form of A – (x – B)2, where A and B are (b) Calculate the area of the region bounded by the curve [5]
constants.[2] (c) Find the volume of the solid generated when the region bounded by
the curves in (b) is revolved completely about the y-axis.[5]
Hence. find . [4]
8. (a) If y = , show that = xy3. [2]

4. Find the particular solution of the differential equation –y= (b) Obtain the Maclaurin series for up to the term in x4.[7]
4x2(ln x) with the condition, y = 2 when x = 1. [7] –1
Hence, find the Maclaurin series for cos x. [3]
5. Find the flrst two non-zero terms of the Maclaurin series for tan–1x.[6]
Hence, flnd the first four non-zero terms of the Maclaurin series for ex (c) Deduce the approximate value of cos–1x dx to three decimal
tan–1x. [2] places. [3]
