Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be supported by
working and/or explanations. In particular, solutions found from a graphic display calculator should be
ACS(Independent) Mathematics Dept/Y4IP/Advanced Mathematics/Mid-Year Exam/2021 Page 2 of 7
supported by suitable working, e.g. if graphs are used to find a solution, you should sketch these as part of
your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct method, provided this is
shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working.

The surface area \( A \) of a hemisphere with base is \( A = 3\pi r^2 \). Using \( dr/dt = (5-3)/20 = 0.1 \) cm/min and at 15 mins, \( r = 4.5 \), differentiate using \( dA/dt = 6\pi r (dr/dt) \). Substituting gives \( dA/dt = 6\pi \times 4.5 \times 0.1 = 8.48 \) cm²/min.

The stationary point occurs where derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \), implying numerator of derived expression \( \frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{x^2 - 2}{3x - k} \right) \) is zero. This requires setting simplified derived terms equal at \( x = 3+\frac{1}{3} \), assuming smallest positive \( k \) impacting simplifications effectively. Solve \( a = 1 \) and \( b = 3 \)

The expansion uses even powers of \( x \) only and the term with \( x^2 \) appears when the sum of the exponents in its binomial coefficient equals 2, which is not possible when expanding expressions of this form.

In the binomial expansion, the general term is given by \( \binom{n}{r}(1^r)(-\frac{1}{3}x)^{r} \). The coefficient of \( x^2 \) is \( \binom{n}{2} \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = -\frac{26}{3} \). Solving \( \frac{n(n-1)}{2} \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = -\frac{26}{3} \) gives \( n = 13 \)

To find A and B, use the fact that the remainder when dividing by \( x+2 \) is zero, implying \( f(-2) = 0 \). Additionally, the derivative \( f'(x) \) evaluated at \( x = 1 \) gives the gradient. Thus, set \( f(-2) = 0 \) and \( f'(1) = -24 \), solve simultaneously to find \( A = -3 \) and \( B = -8 \)

The password consists of digits 2, 3, 4, and 5 forming an odd number, and a letter A, B, or C. The odd digits, 3 or 5, must be at the end, giving 2 options. Arrange the remaining 3 digits, resulting in \( 3! \) ways for each case and multiply by the 3 letters. Thus, there are \( 2 \times 6 \times 3 = 36 \) possible passwords.

To find the inverse \( h^{-1}(x) \), swap \( x \) and \( y \) and rearrange \( y = \frac{x}{1-e^{-x}} \) to \( x = \frac{y}{1-e^{-y}} \), requiring solving \( x - xe^{-y} = y \). Solve for \( y \) to find that equating this, noting \( x > 0 \) due to the form, bounds our work to positive domains for nice logarithm results.

Since \( \cot A = \frac{3}{4} \), \( \sin A = \frac{4}{5} \) and \( \cos A = \frac{3}{5} \). With \( \sec B = \frac{15}{17} \), \( \cos B = \frac{15}{17} \) and \( \sin B = \frac{8}{17} \). Using \( \sin(A + B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B \), compute \( \frac{4}{5} \cdot \frac{15}{17} + \frac{3}{5} \cdot \frac{8}{17} \) to get \( \sin(A + B) = \frac{77}{85} \)

The transformation involves compressing horizontally by factor 3, then vertically shrinking by 1/2 and reflecting in the x-axis (because of the minus sign). Finally, there's a horizontal shift left by 1 and a vertical shift of 1 upwards. The point \((a, b)\) on \( g(x) \) maps to \((\frac{a+1}{3}, -\frac{b}{2} + 1)\). Given \( a = 2, b = 3 \), it maps to \( (1, 0.5) \)

Based on \( 2\sin2\theta \cdot \sec\theta = 3 - 1\cos2\theta \), use identities \( \sin2\theta = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta \) and \( \sec\theta = \frac{1}{\cos\theta} \). Simplifying, substitute into \( \cos2\theta = 1 - 2\sin^2\theta \) and evaluate solutions in the third quadrant where \( \cos\theta \) is negative to find \( \cos\theta = -\frac{1}{5} \)
