(a) On the same axes sketch the graphs of y = 1x−3

and y = ex.

(4)(b) Explain how your graphs show that there is only one solution to the equation ex(x − 3) = 1. (2)(c) Using the iteration x n+1 =e− x + 3, with x 0 = 3, find the value of x to 3 d.p. (2)

3. elm I q8

A cup of tea, initially at boiling point, cools according to Newton’s law of coolingso that after t minutes its temperature, T°C, is given by

T = 15 + 85

(a) Sketch the graph of T against t . (3)(b) What is the temperature of the tea after 4 minutes? (2)(c) How long does it take the tea to cool to 40°C? (3)

(d) Find dTdt

and hence find the value of T at which the temperature is decreasing atthe rate of 1.7°C per minute. (4)(e) However long the cup of tea is left to cool down, it never falls below a certaintemperature. What temperature is that? (1)

4. elm I q5

(a) Express2.5 sin 2x + 6 cos 2x in the form

R sin(2x +∝), where R > 0 and 0 < ∝ <π2

, giving your values of R and ∝ to 3decimal places where appropriate. (4)(b) Express 5 sin x cos x − 12 sin2 x in the form a cos 2x + b sin 2x + c, where a, b and c are constants to be found. (4)(c) Hence, using your answer to part (a), deduce the maximum value of

5 sin x cos x − 12 sin2 x.

The functions f and g are definedf: x (x + 4)2, x∈Rg: x (8 − x), x > 0(a) Find the range of each function. (4)(b) Prove algebraically that there are no values of x which satisfy

f(x) = g(x). (4)

6. Elm I q2
