- The first three terms, in ascending powers of x, of the binomial expansion of
- A sequence is defined by
- Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation y = log10x
The region R, shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve, the line with equation
x = 2, the x-axis and the line with equation x = 14
Using the trapezium rule with four strips of equal width,
(a) show that the area of R is approximately 10.10
- f(x) = (x2 − 2)(2x − 3) − 21
(a) State the value of the remainder when f(x) is divided by (2x − 3)
(b) Use the factor theorem to show that (x − 3) is a factor of f(x)
(c) Hence,
(i) factorise f(x)
(ii) show that the equation f(x) = 0 has only one real root
- A company that owned a silver mine
- extracted 480 tonnes of silver from the mine in year 1
- extracted 465 tonnes of silver from the mine in year 2
- extracted 450 tonnes of silver from the mine in year 3
and so on, forming an arithmetic sequence.
(a) Find the mass of silver extracted in year 14
After a total of 7770 tonnes of silver was extracted, the company stopped mining.
Given that this occurred at the end of year N,
- (i) The circle C1 has equation
- (i) A geometric sequence has first term 4 and common ratio 6
Given that the nth term is greater than 10100, find the minimum possible value of n.
- Figure 2 shows a sketch of part of the curve C with equation
- (a) Prove that for all positive values of x and y,
- (i) Solve, for
