Question 17 Answer B

A. When a = −6 and b = −12 there is a unique solution is true.


B. When a  R \{3} and b  R there is an infinite number of solutions is false.
C. When a = −8 and b = −12 there is an infinite number of solutions is true.
D. When a = 3 and b = 4 there is no solution is true.
E. When a = 3 and b  −12 there is no solution is true.
When a = 3 When a = −8
3x − 4 y = 6  3x − 4 y = 6 −8 x − 4 y = −16  2x + y = 4

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

b. since there is a turning point at x = 4


f  ( 4 ) = −48 + 8b + c = 0 ( 3)

 f ( x ) dx = 144

the area A1
0

72b + 18c − 324 = 144 ( 4)


solving ( 3) and ( 4 ) gives
11
b= , c=4 A1
2

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 =

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
