Core 2 Mathematics Edexcel June 2012 Question 6
6. (a) Show that the equation tan 2x = 5 sin 2x
can be written in the form (1 – 5 cos 2x) sin 2x = 0
(b) Hence solve, for 0° ≤ x < 180°, tan 2x = 5 sin 2x
giving your answers to 1 decimal place where appropriate.
You must show clearly how you obtained your answers.
y = √(3x + x)
(a) Complete the table below, giving the values of y to 3 decimal places
(b) Use the trapezium rule with all the values of y from your table to find an approximation
You must show clearly how you obtained your answer.
Core 2 Mathematics Edexcel June 2012 Question 8A manufacturer produces pain relieving tablets. Each tablet is in the shape of a solid circular cylinder with base radius x mm and height h mm, as shown in Figure 3.
Given that the volume of each tablet has to be 60 mm3
(a) express h in terms of x,
(b) show that the surface area, A mm2, of a tablet is given by A = 2πx2 + 120/x
The manufacturer needs to minimise the surface area A mm2
(c) Use calculus to find the value of x for which A is a minimum.
(d) Calculate the minimum value of A, giving your answer to the nearest integer.
(e) Show that this value of A is a minimum.
