  1. The curve \(C\) has equation

  1. In an Argand diagram, the points \(A\) and \(B\) are represented by the complex numbers \(- 3 + 2 \mathrm { i }\) and \(5 - 4 \mathrm { i }\) respectively. The points \(A\) and \(B\) are the end points of a diameter of a circle \(C\).
    1. Find the equation of \(C\), giving your answer in the form
    $$| z - a | = b \quad a \in \mathbb { C } , \quad b \in \mathbb { R }$$ The circle \(D\), with equation \(| z - 2 - 3 i | = 2\), intersects \(C\) at the points representing the complex numbers \(z _ { 1 }\) and \(z _ { 2 }\)
  2. Find the complex numbers \(z _ { 1 }\) and \(z _ { 2 }\)
Question 3

  1. A scientist is investigating the concentration of antibodies in the bloodstream of a patient following a vaccination.
    The concentration of antibodies, \(x\), measured in micrograms ( \(\mu \mathrm { g }\) ) per millilitre ( ml ) of blood, is modelled by the differential equation
$$100 \frac { \mathrm {~d} ^ { 2 } x } { \mathrm {~d} t ^ { 2 } } + 60 \frac { \mathrm {~d} x } { \mathrm {~d} t } + 13 x = 26$$ where \(t\) is the number of weeks since the vaccination was given.
  1. Find a general solution of the differential equation. Initially,
    • there are no antibodies in the bloodstream of the patient
    • the concentration of antibodies is estimated to be increasing at \(10 \mu \mathrm {~g} / \mathrm { ml }\) per week
    • Find, according to the model, the maximum concentration of antibodies in the bloodstream of the patient after the vaccination.
    A second dose of the vaccine has to be given to try to ensure that it is fully effective. It is only safe to give the second dose if the concentration of antibodies in the bloodstream of the patient is less than \(5 \mu \mathrm {~g} / \mathrm { ml }\).
  2. Determine whether, according to the model, it is safe to give the second dose of the vaccine to the patient exactly 10 weeks after the first dose.

  1. (a) Use de Moivre's theorem to prove that
$$\sin 7 \theta = 7 \sin \theta - 56 \sin ^ { 3 } \theta + 112 \sin ^ { 5 } \theta - 64 \sin ^ { 7 } \theta$$ (b) Hence find the distinct roots of the equation $$1 + 7 x - 56 x ^ { 3 } + 112 x ^ { 5 } - 64 x ^ { 7 } = 0$$ giving your answer to 3 decimal places where appropriate.
Question 5

  1. (a)
$$y = \tan ^ { - 1 } x$$ Assuming the derivative of \(\tan x\), prove that $$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \frac { 1 } { 1 + x ^ { 2 } }$$ $$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = x \tan ^ { - 1 } 4 x$$ (b) Show that $$\int \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x = A x ^ { 2 } \tan ^ { - 1 } 4 x + B x + C \tan ^ { - 1 } 4 x + k$$ where \(k\) is an arbitrary constant and \(A , B\) and \(C\) are constants to be determined.
(c) Hence find, in exact form, the mean value of \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) over the interval \(\left[ 0 , \frac { \sqrt { 3 } } { 4 } \right]\)

6. $$\mathbf { M } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r } k & 5 & 7
1 & 1 & 1
2 & 1 & - 1 \end{array} \right) \quad \text { where } k \text { is a constant }$$
  1. Given that \(k \neq 4\), find, in terms of \(k\), the inverse of the matrix \(\mathbf { M }\).
  2. Find, in terms of \(p\), the coordinates of the point where the following planes intersect. $$\begin{array} { r } 2 x + 5 y + 7 z = 1
    x + y + z = p
    2 x + y - z = 2 \end{array}$$
    1. Find the value of \(q\) for which the following planes intersect in a straight line. $$\begin{array} { r } 4 x + 5 y + 7 z = 1
      x + y + z = q
      2 x + y - z = 2 \end{array}$$
    2. For this value of \(q\), determine a vector equation for the line of intersection.

\end{figure} A student wants to make plastic chess pieces using a 3D printer. Figure 1 shows the central vertical cross-section of the student's design for one chess piece. The plastic chess piece is formed by rotating the region bounded by the \(y\)-axis, the \(x\)-axis, the line with equation \(x = 1\), the curve \(C _ { 1 }\) and the curve \(C _ { 2 }\) through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(y\)-axis. The point \(A\) has coordinates ( \(1,0.5\) ) and the point \(B\) has coordinates ( \(0.5,2.5\) ) where the units are centimetres. The curve \(C _ { 1 }\) is modelled by the equation $$x = \frac { a } { y + b } \quad 0.5 \leqslant y \leqslant 2.5$$
  1. Determine the value of \(a\) and the value of \(b\) according to the model. The curve \(C _ { 2 }\) is modelled to be an arc of the circle with centre \(( 0,3 )\).
  2. Use calculus to determine the volume of plastic required to make the chess piece according to the model.
