Answer ALL Questions being careful to number them A1 to A4.

A1. (a) Prove that if θ is the angle between vectors u and v, and (u · v) 6= 0, then
|u × v|
tan θ = .
(u · v)
(b) Use the properties of limits to evaluate the following limit.
4 − 2n − 3n2
lim
n→∞ 2n2 + n
(c) Show that if z1 , z2 ∈ C, then |z1 + z2 |2 + |z1 − z2 |2 = 2|z1 |2 + 2|z2 |2 . [5,5,5]

A2. (a) Determine the most general function M (x, y) such that the following equation is
exact.
M (x, y)dx + (2yex + y 2 e3x )dy = 0.
[3]
(b) For which values of a will the following system have
(i) no solution? (ii) exactly one solution? (iii) innitely many solutions?

3x − y + 5z = 2
4x + y + (a2 − 14)z = a + 2.
