Since u4  u1 , the sequence starts to repeat. It is periodic, with period 3.

[2 marks]

b The sequence repeats with period 3, so u3  u6  ...  u99  0.5 .

Therefore, u100  2 .

[1 mark]

c The sum of a group of three consecutive terms is 2 + (–1) + 0.5 = 1.5.

In the first 100 terms, there are 33 groups of 3 plus u100 .

Hence the sum is 33 × 1.5 + 2 = 51.5.

b The diagram shows the rectangles we need to use for the upper bound. The
height of the third rectangle equals the maximum value of the y-coordinate on
the graph (given in the question to be 2.065).

The heights are:

y 1.3829 2.0610 2.065 1.5248

So the area is: (1.3829 + 2.0610 + 2.065 + 1.5248) = 5.524 (3 d.p.)

The next positive solution satisfies 2x = 2π – 2a, so x = π – a.
The next one satisfies 2x = 2π + 2a, so x = π + a

2 a The intersection points can be found by solving simultaneous equations:
x2 = 6 – x
x2 + x – 6 = 0
x = 2 or –3
Substituting back to find y, the coordinates are (2, 4) and (–3, 9).

But this is not possible, because the left-hand side is not divisible by 5 but the right-
hand side is.

Hence log 3 5  cannot be true, so log35 is an irrational number.

8 a Substituting the coordinates (8, 9) into the equation of the circle:
64 + 81 – 80 – 90 + 25 = 0
Hence the point (8, 9) lies on the circle.

b The shaded area is the difference of the areas of triangle AOB and the circle.
To find the area of the circle you first need to find its radius. To find the area
of the triangle, you need the coordinates of A and B.
Rewrite the equation of the circle, using completing the square:
(x – 5)2 + (y – 5)2 = 25
So the coordinates of the centre are (5, 5) and the radius is 5. Hence the area of
the circle is 25π.

The axis intercepts are:

When x = 0, y = 15; y = 0, x = 20.
Hence the area of the triangle is 150.
The shaded area is 150 – 25π.

9 a Point A is when x = 0 for the second graph (which shows exponential decay).
So its coordinates are (0,8).

b i 3ex – 3 = 13 – 5e–x
Multiply both sides of the equation by ex:
3e2x – 3ex = 13ex – 5
3e2x – 16ex + 5 = 0
ii This is a quadratic equation in ex and we can factorise:
(3ex – 1)(ex – 5) = 0

ex = or 5

From the diagram, the x-coordinate of B is positive, so ex = 5. Hence
the coordinates are (ln 5, 12).

c Draw a diagram showing all the forces acting on the plank. Remember that the
weight acts at the centre of mass. Without friction the bottom of the plank
would slip away from the wall, so the friction acts towards the wall. Since the
plank is on the point of slipping, the magnitude of the frictional force is µR.

Horizontal forces: R1 = µR
Vertical forces: R = 16g
Moments about L: 16g × 2.08 cos θ = R1 × 5 sin θ
Substituting R1 = µR = 16µg:

15 Depending on the mass of P, the friction may be preventing it from sliding up (if m is
small) or down (if m is large) the plane, so two separate force diagrams need to be
considered.

In both diagrams, T = 5.2 g and R = mg cos 35. In both cases the friction force F ≤ µR.
[3 marks]
a From the first diagram:
5.2
F = 5.2 g – mg sin 35° ≤ µmg cos 35°, so m 
