(b) (i) sin 2𝑥 = sin(3𝑥 − 𝑥)


sin 2𝑥 = sin 3𝑥 cos 𝑥 − cos 3𝑥 sin 𝑥
cos 3𝑥 sin 𝑥 = sin 3𝑥 cos 𝑥 − sin 2𝑥

(ii) 𝐼 = ∫ cos 𝑥 sin 3𝑥 𝑑𝑥 and 𝐽 = ∫ cos 𝑥 sin 2𝑥 𝑑𝑥

𝑢 = cos 𝑥

𝑑𝑢 = 𝑚 cos 𝑥 (− sin 𝑥)

𝑑𝑣 = sin 3𝑥

𝑣 = − cos 3𝑥

QUESTION 3

(a) (i) 𝑢 = 𝑢 𝑟 = 486 ( )


(ii) 𝑆 =
𝑢 =𝑢 𝑟 = 118 098 ( )
177146 =
𝑢 𝑟 118098
=𝑟 = = 243 177146 = 3 − 1
𝑢 𝑟 486

𝑟 = 243 177147 = 3

𝑟=3 ln 177147 = ln 3

𝑢 (243) = 486 ln 177147 = 𝑛 ln 3

𝑢 =2 =𝑛

11 = 𝑛
(i) 𝑢 = 𝑟(𝑟 + 2)

(ii) 𝑃 : ∑ 𝑛(𝑛 + 2) = 𝑛(𝑛 + 1)(2𝑛 + 7)

𝑃 : 1(1 + 2) = (1)(1 + 1)(2(1) + 7)

3=3

Therefore 𝑃 is true

Assume that 𝑃 is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘

𝑃 :∑ 𝑟(𝑟 + 2) = 𝑘(𝑘 + 1)(2𝑘 + 7)

𝑃 :∑ 𝑟(𝑟 + 2) = (𝑘 + 1)(𝑘 + 2)(2𝑘 + 9)

Now, 𝑃 = 𝑃 + (𝑘 + 1) term

𝑃 = 𝑘(𝑘 + 1)(2𝑘 + 7) + (𝑘 + 1)(𝑘 + 3)

𝑘(𝑘 + 1)(2𝑘 + 7) + 6(𝑘 + 1)(𝑘 + 3)


=
6
(𝑘 + 1)
= [2𝑘 + 7𝑘 + 6𝑘 + 18]
6
(𝑘 + 1)(2𝑘 + 9)(𝑘 + 2)
=
6
Therefore 𝑃 is true whenever 𝑃 is true.

Hence by Mathematical Induction ∑ 𝑛(𝑛 + 2) = 𝑛(𝑛 + 1)(2𝑛 + 7) for all 𝑛 ∈ ℕ.

(b) (i) 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 3𝑥 − 4𝑥 − 1 (ii) 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 3𝑥 − 4𝑥 − 1

𝑓(0.2) = 2(0.2) + 3(0.2) − 4(0.2) − 1 𝑓 (𝑥) = 6𝑥 + 6𝑥 − 4

=− 2(0.6) + 3(0.6) − 4(0.6) − 1
125 𝑥 = 0.6 −
6(0.6) + 6(0.6) − 4
𝑓(2) = 2(2) + 3(2) − 4(2) − 1 = 19
𝑥 = 1.672727
𝑓(𝑥) is continuous on the interval [0.2, 2]
and 𝑓(0.2)𝑓(2) < 0. By the Intermediate 𝑥 = 1.231807
Value Theorem there is some 𝑐 such that
𝑥 = 1.042692
𝑓(𝑐)) = 0. Therefore there is a root in the
interval [0.2, 2]. 𝑥 = 1.00

(b) (i) 𝑃 : ∑ 𝑟 = 𝑛 (𝑛 + 1)

𝑃 :1 = (1) (1 + 1)

Therefore 𝑃 is true
Assume 𝑃 is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘

1
𝑃 : 𝑟 = 𝑘 (𝑘 + 1)
4

1
𝑃 : 𝑟 = (𝑘 + 1) (𝑘 + 2)

𝑃 = 𝑃 + (𝑘 + 1)term

Therefore 𝑃 is true ∀ 𝑃 is true.

Hence by mathematical induction 1 + 2 + ⋯ + 𝑛 = 𝑛 (𝑛 + 1) for 𝑛 ∈ ℕ.

(iii) ∑ (2𝑖 − 1) = 1 + 3 + 5 + ⋯ + (2𝑛 + 1)

(2𝑖 − 1) = 𝑖 − (2𝑖)

(2𝑖 − 1) = 𝑖 −8 𝑖

= (2𝑛 + 1) (𝑛 + 1) − 8 𝑛 (𝑛 + 1)

(a) (i) 𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃(𝐵) − 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) (ii) two events are independent if

0.7 = 0.6 + 0.2 − 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐴)𝑃(𝐵)

𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 0.1 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 0.1

𝑃(𝐴 only) = 0.6 − 0.1 = 0.5 𝑃(𝐴)𝑃(𝐵) = (0.6)(0.2) = 0.12

𝑎2 = √2 + √2

𝑎3 = √2 + √2 + √2

(a) (ii)

𝑃𝑛 : 𝑎𝑛 < 𝑎𝑛+1 and 𝑎𝑛 ≤ 3

PART 1 – Proving that 𝑎𝑛 ≤ 3

𝑃1 : 𝑎1 = √2 < 3

Therefore 𝑃1 is true.

Assume 𝑃𝑛 is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘

𝑃𝑘 : 𝑎𝑘 ≤ 3

𝑃𝑘+1 : 𝑎𝑘+1 ≤ 3

Now

𝑎𝑘+1 = √2 + 𝑎𝑘

Assuming 𝑎𝑘 = 3 then 𝑎𝑘+1 = √2 + 3 = √5

Since √5 < 3 and 𝑎𝑘 ≤ 3, 𝑎𝑘+1 ≤ 3

Therefore 𝑃𝑘+1 is true ∀ 𝑃𝑘 is true.

PART 2 – Proving that 𝑎𝑛 < 𝑎𝑛+1

𝑎1 = √2

𝑎2 = √2 + √2

𝑎1 < 𝑎2

Therefore, 𝑃1 is true.
Assume 𝑃𝑛 is true for 𝑛 = 𝑘

𝑃𝑘 : 𝑎𝑘 < 𝑎𝑘+1

𝑃𝑘+1 : 𝑎𝑘+1 < 𝑎𝑘+2

Now

𝑎𝑘+1 = √2 + 𝑎𝑘

𝑎𝑘+2 = √2 + 𝑎𝑘+1

Since 𝑎𝑘 < 𝑎𝑘+1 , 𝑎𝑘+2 < 𝑎𝑘+1

Therefore 𝑃𝑘+1 is true whenever 𝑃𝑘 is true

Hence by Mathematical Induction 𝑎𝑛 < 𝑎𝑛+1 and 𝑎𝑛 ≤ 3 for all 𝑛 ∈ ℕ.

Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 4 cos 𝑥 − 𝑥 3 + 2

𝑓(1) = 3.16121

𝑓(1.5) = −1.09205

𝑓(𝑥) is continuous on the interval [1, 1.5].

𝑓(1) × 𝑓(1.5) < 0

By the Intermediate Value Theorem there must be some 𝑐 ∈ [1, 1.5] such that 𝑓(𝑐) = 0. Therefore, there is a
root between 1 and 1.5.

(c) (ii)

1.5 − 𝛼 1.09205
=
𝛼−1 3.16121
4.74182 − 3.16121𝛼 = 1.09205𝛼 − 1.09205

5.83387 = 4.25326𝛼

1.3716 = 𝛼
𝑓(1.3716) = 4 cos(1.3716) − (1.3716)3 + 2 = 0.21115

Root is now between 1.3716 and 1.5

1.5 − 𝛼 1.09205
=
𝛼 − 1.3716 0.21115
0.21115(1.5 − 𝛼) = 1.09205(𝛼 − 1.3716)

0.316725 − 0.21115𝛼 = 1.09205𝛼 − 1.49786

1.814585 = 1.3032𝛼

1.3924 = 𝛼

𝑓(1.3924) = 4 cos(1.3924) − (1.3924)3 + 2 = 0.0103

Root is now between 1.3924 and 1.5

1.5 − 𝛼 1.09205
=
𝛼 − 1.3924 0.0103
0.0103(1.5 − 𝛼) = 1.09205(𝛼 − 1.3924)

0.01545 − 0.0103𝛼 = 1.09205𝛼 − 1.5206

1.53605 = 1.1024𝛼

1.3934 = 𝛼

Since the last two approximations, correct to 2 decimal places, are both 1.39. The root is approximately 1.39.

𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 0.85 − 0.68 = 0.17

If 𝐴 and 𝐵 are independent events 𝑃(𝐴) × 𝑃(𝐵) = 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)


(ii) 𝑃(𝐴) × 𝑃(𝐵) = 0.4 × 0.45 = 0.18

𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 0.17

Therefore 𝐴 and 𝐵 are NOT independent.
