I. The function f(x) can be expressed as a + bcos^2x, where a = 1 and b = -1. The greatest value is 1 and the least value is -2. The equation f(x) + 1 = 0 can be solved. II. The equation of the curve is y = x^3 - 6x. The x-coordinate of the stationary point is 0 and it is a minimum. III. The values of the constants a and b are a = -2 and b = 6.

I . The function f is such that f (x) = 2sin2 x − 3cos2 x for 0 ≤ x ≤ π.


(a) Express f (x) in the form a + bcos2 x,stating the values a and b.
(b) State the greatest and least value of f (x).
(c) Solve the equation f (x) + 1 = 0
dy 1
II . A curve is such that = 3x 2 − 6 and the point (9, 2) lies on the curve.
dx
(a) Find the equation of the curve.
(b) Find the x−coordinate of the stationary point on the curve and determine the
nature of the stationary point.
III . The first three terms in the expansion of (1 − 2x)2 (1 + ax)6 , in ascending powers of
x, are 1 − x + bx2 . Find the values of the constants a and b.
log (2 + cosx)log|sinx| − sin2 x
IV . Compute, if existing x→π
lim .
|osx|log|x−π| − 1
V . Consider the function

f (x) = √
log2 (x x2 + x)
.
(a) Find the domain of f .
(b) Does there exist a continuous g : R → R such that f (x) = g (x) for every x ∈Dom(f )?
VI . Find all ordered triples (x, y, z ) of real numbers which satisfy the following system of
equations:


 xy = z − x − y
xz = y − x − z


yz = x − y − z

VII . How many ways can 8 mutually non-attacking rooks be placed


on the 9 × 9 chessboard (shown here) so that all 8 rooks are on
squares of the same colour?
[Two rooks are said to be attacking each other if they are placed
in the same row or column of the board.]

VIII . Let A, B, C, D be four points on a circle (occurring in clockwise order), with AB < AD
and BC > CD. Let the bisector of angle BAD meet the circle at X and the bisector
of angle BCD meet the circle at Y . Consider the hexagon formed by these six points
on the circle. If four of the six sides of the hexagon have equal length, prove that BD
must be a diameter of the circle.
