A. Let x = k , then adding y = 4 − 2k , z = y + 1 − k = 5 − 3k
( 2) 2y − z = 3− k
(1 ) − y + z = 1 − 2k
B. Let x = 2k , then adding y = 4 − 4k , z = y + 1 − 2k = 5 − 6k

Question 17 Answer B
Question 18 Answer D
The function f is derivative of the function g, g ( x ) = f ( x ) dx, f ( x) = g ( x) ,
Question 19 Answer D
Question 20 Answer C
Although the point x0 = e is closer to the actual root
at x = w , Newton’s method will fail at x0 = e , since
the derivative at x0 = e is zero, there is a stationary
point of inflexion at x0 = e . If we draw tangents at
both x0 = c and x0 = d we see that the tangent at
x0 = c crosses the x-axis closer to x0 = w , so use
x0 = c as our initial starting value.
SECTION B
Question 1
a. f ( x ) = − x3 + bx 2 + cx
f ( x ) = −3x 2 + 2bx + c
since there is a turning point at ( 3, 0 ) M1
f ( 3) = −27 + 9b + 3c = 0 (1)
and the gradient is also zero at this
point f ( 3) = −27 + 6b + c = 0 ( 2 )
solving (1) and ( 2 ) gives
b = 6, c = −9 A1
f ( x ) dx = 144
6
the area A1
0
c. at x = 2 f ( 2 ) = 4b + c − 12
the tangent line at x = 2 is
y = ( 4b + c − 12 ) x − 4 ( b − 4 ) A1
Now this tangent passes through the
origin so b = 4
since this is parallel to y = 2 x − 5
f ( 2 ) = 4b + c − 12 = 2 ( 5)
then c = −2 A1
AT =
1
2
(
f ( 0 ) + 2 ( f (1) + f ( 2 ) + f ( 3) ) + f ( 4 ) )
AT = 2 (11b + 2 ( 2c − 17 ) ) = 44 ( 7 )
solving ( 6 ) and ( 7 ) gives
b = 4, c=3 A1
since y = −8 − ( x − 2 ) = −8 − ( x3 − 6 x 2 + 12 x − 8 ) = − x3 + 6 x 2 − 12 x
3
e.
so b = 6, c = −12 , the stationary point of inflexion is the point ( 2, −8 ) A2
f. f ( x ) = − x3 + bx 2 + cx = − x ( x 2 − bx − c ) the graph always passes through the origin,
and when b = c = 0 there is a stationary point of inflexion at the origin.
For only one other solution = b2 + 4c = 0 so b 2 = −4c
c 0 and b = −4c or when c = 0 f ( x ) = − x 2 ( x − b ) so b R \{0} A1
