Answer all the questions.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. The use of an electronic calculator is expected, where appropriate. You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers.
At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] at the end of each question or part question. The total number of marks for this paper is 80.
2 When lg y 2 is plotted against x, a straight line is obtained passing through the points (5, 12) and (3, 20). Find y in terms of x, giving your answer in the form y = 10 ax + b , where a and b are integers. [5]
The first three terms in the expansion of b1 - l (1 - 2x) 4 can be written as 1 + ax + bx 2 . Find the value x 14 3 7 of each of the constants a and b. [6]
8 (a) Five teams took part in a competition in which each team played each of the other 4 teams. The following table represents the results after all the matches had been played.
Team Won Drawn Lost
A 2 1 1 B 1 3 0 C 1 1 2 D 0 1 3 E 3 0 1
Points in the competition were awarded to the teams as follows
4 for each match won, 2 for each match drawn, 0 for each match lost.
(i) Write down two matrices whose product under matrix multiplication will give the total number of points awarded to each team. [2]
(ii) Evaluate the matrix product from part (i) and hence state which team was awarded the most points. [2]
d2y - 2 11 A curve is such that 2 = 2 (3x - 1) 3 . Given that the curve has a gradient of 6 at the point (3, 11), find dx the equation of the curve. [8]
