1 The points \(A , B\) and \(C\) have position vectors \(\mathbf { a } = \left( \begin{array} { l } 1
1
3 \end{array} \right) , \mathbf { b } = \left( \begin{array} { r } 2

3 The sequence \(\left\{ U _ { n } \right\}\) is given by \(U _ { 1 } = 0 , U _ { 2 } = - 1\) and \(U _ { n + 2 } = U _ { n + 1 } + U _ { n } + n - 1\) for \(n \geqslant 1\).
  1. List the first seven terms of this sequence. The Fibonacci sequence \(\left\{ \mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { n } } \right\}\) is given by \(\mathrm { F } _ { 1 } = 1 , \mathrm {~F} _ { 2 } = 1\) and \(\mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { n } + 2 } = \mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { n } + 1 } + \mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { n } }\) for \(n \geqslant 1\).
    1. By comparing the two sequences, give the relationship between \(\mathrm { U } _ { \mathrm { n } }\) and \(\mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { n } }\).
    2. Show that the relationship found in part (b)(i) holds for all \(n \geqslant 1\).

  1. Prove that \(29 \mid N\) if and only if \(29 \mid M\).
  2. Use an iterative method based on the result of part (a) to show that 899364472 is a multiple of 29 .
Question 5

5 A research student is using 3-D graph-plotting software to model a chain of volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean. These islands appear above sea-level at regular intervals, (approximately) distributed along a straight line. Each island takes the form of a single peak; also, along the line of islands, the heights of these peaks decrease in size in an (approximately) regular fashion (see Fig. 1.1). \begin{figure}[h]

\end{figure} The student's model uses the surface with equation \(\mathrm { z } = \sin \mathrm { x } + \sin \mathrm { y }\), a part of which is shown in Fig. 1.2 below. The surface of the sea is taken to be the plane \(z = 0\). \begin{figure}[h]

  1. - Describe two problems with this model.
    • Suggest revisions to this model so that each of these problems is addressed.
    • Still using their original model, the student examines the contour \(z = 2\) for their surface only to find that the software shows what appears to be an empty graph.
    Explain what has happened.

6 The sequence \(\left\{ u _ { n } \right\}\) is such that \(u _ { 1 } = 7 , u _ { 2 } = 37 , u _ { 3 } = 337 , u _ { 4 } = 3337 , \ldots\).
  1. Write down a first-order recurrence system for \(\left\{ \mathrm { u } _ { \mathrm { n } } \right\}\).
  2. By solving the recurrence system of part (a), show that \(\mathrm { u } _ { \mathrm { n } } = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \left( 10 ^ { \mathrm { n } } + 11 \right)\).
  3. Prove that \(\left\{ \mathrm { u } _ { \mathrm { n } } \right\}\) contains infinitely many terms which are multiples of 37 .
Question 7

7 The diagram below shows an equilateral triangle \(A B C\). The three lines of reflection symmetry of \(A B C\) (the lines \(a , b\) and \(c\) ) are shown as broken lines. The point of intersection of these three lines, \(O\), is the centre of rotational symmetry of the triangle.
\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{06496165-0b83-4050-ae26-fa5a0614bd46-4_533_538_884_246} The group \(D _ { 3 }\) is defined as the set of symmetries of \(A B C\) under the composition of the following transformations.
\(i\) : the identity transformation
\(a\) : reflection in line \(a\)
\(b\) : reflection in line \(b\)
\(c\) : reflection in line \(c\)
\(p\) : an anticlockwise rotation about \(O\) through \(120 ^ { \circ }\)
\(q\) : a clockwise rotation about \(O\) through \(120 ^ { \circ }\)
Note that the lines \(a , b\) and \(c\) are unaffected by the transformations and remain fixed.
  1. On the diagrams provided in the Printed Answer Booklet, show each of the six elements of \(D _ { 3 }\) obtained when the above transformations are applied to triangle \(A B C\).
  2. Complete the Cayley table given in the Printed Answer Booklet.
  3. List all the proper subgroups of \(D _ { 3 }\).
  4. State, with justification, whether \(D _ { 3 }\) is
    1. cyclic,
    2. abelian.
  5. The group \(H\), also of order 6, is the set of rotational symmetries of the regular hexagon. Describe two structural differences between \(D _ { 3 }\) and \(H\). \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER}
