A particle \(P\) of mass 2 kg can only move along the straight line segment \(OA\), where \(OA\) is on a rough horizontal surface. The particle is initially at rest at \(O\) and the distance \(OA\) is 0.9 m. When the time is \(t\) seconds the displacement of \(P\) from \(O\) is \(x\) m and the velocity of \(P\) is \(v\) ms\(^{-1}\). \(P\) is subject to a force of magnitude \(4e^{-2t}\) N in the direction of \(A\) for any \(t \geqslant 0\). The resistance to the motion of \(P\) is modelled as being proportional to \(v\). At the instant when \(t = \ln 2\), \(v = 0.5\) and the resultant force on \(P\) is 0 N.

2. Find an expression for \(v\) in terms of \(t\) for \(t \geqslant 0\). [5]
3. By considering the behaviour of \(v\) as \(t\) becomes large explain why, according to the model, \(P\)'s speed must reach a maximum value for some \(t > 0\). [2]
4. Determine the maximum speed considered in part (c). [2]

In this question you must show detailed reasoning.

1. By using an appropriate Maclaurin series prove that if \(x > 0\) then \(e^x > 1 + x\). [2]
2. Hence, by using a suitable substitution, deduce that \(e^t > et\) for \(t > 1\). [1]
3. Using the inequality in part (b), and by making a suitable choice for \(t\), determine which is greater, \(e^{\pi}\) or \(\pi^e\). [3]
