1. Differentiate with respect to x

(a) ln(x² + 3x + 5)

(b) cos x /x²

1(b) C3 Mathematics Edexcel June 2011 Question 2

f(x) = 2sin (x²) + x - 2, 0 ≤ x < 2π

(a) Show that f (x) = 0 has a root Į between x = 0.75 and x = 0.85

The equation f (x) = 0 can be written as x =[arsin(1 - 0.5x)]^1/2

(b) Use the iterative formula

x_n+1 =[arsin(1 - 0.5x_n)]^1/2, x₀ = 0.8

to find the values of x₁ , x₂ and x₃ , giving your answers to 5 decimal places.

(c) Show that α = 0.80157 is correct to 5 decimal places.

Figure 1 shows part of the graph of y = f (x), x ∈ ℝ.

The graph consists of two line segments that meet at the point R (4, – 3), as shown in Figure 1.

Sketch, on separate diagrams, the graphs of

(a) y = f(x + 4)

(b) = y = |f(-x)|

On each diagram, show the coordinates of the point corresponding to R.
