1. Find a vector which is perpendicular to both \(\left( \begin{array} { r } 1
   3
   - 2 \end{array} \right)\) and \(\left( \begin{array} { r } - 3
   - 6

2. The cartesian equation of a line is \(\frac { x } { 2 } = y - 3 = 2 z + 4\). Express the equation of this line in vector form.

2 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
The cubic equation \(2 x ^ { 3 } + 3 x ^ { 2 } - 5 x + 4 = 0\) has roots \(\alpha , \beta\) and \(\gamma\). By making an appropriate substitution, or otherwise, find a cubic equation with integer coefficients whose roots are \(\frac { 1 } { \alpha } , \frac { 1 } { \beta }\) and \(\frac { 1 } { \gamma }\).

The complex numbers \(z _ { 1 }\) and \(z _ { 2 }\) are given by \(z _ { 1 } = 2 - 3 i\) and \(z _ { 2 } = a + 4 i\) where \(a\) is a real number.

1. Express \(z _ { 1 }\) in modulus-argument form, giving the modulus in exact form and the argument correct to 3 significant figures.
2. Find \(z _ { 1 } z _ { 2 }\) in terms of \(a\), writing your answer in the form \(c + \mathrm { id }\).
3. The real and imaginary parts of a complex number on an Argand diagram are \(x\) and \(y\) respectively. Given that the point representing \(z _ { 1 } z _ { 2 }\) lies on the line \(y = x\), find the value of \(a\).
4. Given instead that \(z _ { 1 } z _ { 2 } = \left( z _ { 1 } z _ { 2 } \right) ^ { * }\) find the value of \(a\).

4 The matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) is given by \(\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r } 2 & 1 & 2
1 & - 1 & 1
2 & 2 & a \end{array} \right)\).

1. Show that \(\operatorname { det } \mathbf { A } = 6 - 3 a\).
2. State the value of \(a\) for which \(\mathbf { A }\) is singular.
3. Given that \(\mathbf { A }\) is non-singular find \(\mathbf { A } ^ { - 1 }\) in terms of \(a\).

5 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.

1. Express \(( 2 + 3 \mathrm { i } ) ^ { 3 }\) in the form \(a + \mathrm { i } b\).
2. Hence verify that \(2 + 3\) i is a root of the equation \(3 z ^ { 3 } - 8 z ^ { 2 } + 23 z + 52 = 0\).
3. Express \(3 z ^ { 3 } - 8 z ^ { 2 } + 23 z + 52\) as the product of a linear factor and a quadratic factor with real coefficients.

6 The matrices \(\mathbf { A }\) and \(\mathbf { B }\) are given by \(\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { r r } t & 6
t & - 2 \end{array} \right)\) and \(\mathbf { B } = \left( \begin{array} { r r } 2 t & 4
t & - 2 \end{array} \right)\) where \(t\) is a constant.

1. Show that \(| \mathbf { A } | = | \mathbf { B } |\).
2. Verify that \(| \mathbf { A B } | = | \mathbf { A } \| \mathbf { B } |\).
3. Given that \(| \mathbf { A B } | = - 1\) explain what this means about the constant \(t\).

7 Prove by induction that \(2 ^ { n + 1 } + 5 \times 9 ^ { n }\) is divisible by 7 for all integers \(n \geqslant 1\).

8 The \(2 \times 2\) matrix A represents a transformation T which has the following properties.

• The image of the point \(( 0,1 )\) is the point \(( 3,4 )\).
• An object shape whose area is 7 is transformed to an image shape whose area is 35 .
• T has a line of invariant points.
  1. Find a possible matrix for \(\mathbf { A }\).

The transformation S is represented by the matrix \(\mathbf { B }\) where \(\mathbf { B } = \left( \begin{array} { l l } 3 & 1
2 & 2 \end{array} \right)\).
