5. (a) Show that the binomial expansion of $$( 4 + 5 x ) ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } }$$ in ascending powers of \(x\), up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 2 }\) is $$2 + \frac { 5 } { 4 } x + k x ^ { 2 }$$ giving the value of the constant \(k\) as a simplified fraction.

Question 8

8. (a) Express \(2 \sin \theta - 1.5 \cos \theta\) in the form \(R \sin ( \theta - \alpha )\), where \(R > 0\) and \(0 < \alpha < \frac { \pi } { 2 }\) State the value of \(R\) and give the value of \(\alpha\) to 4 decimal places. Tom models the depth of water, \(D\) metres, at Southview harbour on 18th October 2017 by the formula $$D = 6 + 2 \sin \left( \frac { 4 \pi t } { 25 } \right) - 1.5 \cos \left( \frac { 4 \pi t } { 25 } \right) , \quad 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 24$$ where \(t\) is the time, in hours, after 00:00 hours on 18th October 2017.
Use Tom's model to
(b) find the depth of water at 00:00 hours on 18th October 2017,
(c) find the maximum depth of water,
(d) find the time, in the afternoon, when the maximum depth of water occurs. Give your answer to the nearest minute. Tom's model is supported by measurements of \(D\) taken at regular intervals on 18th October 2017. Jolene attempts to use a similar model in order to model the depth of water at Southview harbour on 19th October 2017. Jolene models the depth of water, \(H\) metres, at Southview harbour on 19th October 2017 by the formula $$H = 6 + 2 \sin \left( \frac { 4 \pi x } { 25 } \right) - 1.5 \cos \left( \frac { 4 \pi x } { 25 } \right) , \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 24$$ where \(x\) is the time, in hours, after 00:00 hours on 19th October 2017.
By considering the depth of water at 00:00 hours on 19th October 2017 for both models,
(e) (i) explain why Jolene's model is not correct,
(ii) hence find a suitable model for \(H\) in terms of \(x\).

Question 9

9. In a chemical reaction, compound B is formed from compound A and other compounds. The mass of B at time \(t\) minutes is \(x \mathrm {~kg}\). The total mass of A and B is always 1 kg . Sadiq formulates a simple model for the reaction in which the rate at which the mass of \(B\) increases is proportional to the product of the masses of \(A\) and \(B\).
  1. Show that the model can be written as \(\frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t } = k x ( 1 - x )\), where \(k\) is a constant. Initially, the mass of B is 0.2 kg .
  2. Solve the differential equation, expressing \(x\) in terms of \(k\) and \(t\). After 15 minutes, the mass of B is measured to be 0.9 kg .
  3. Find the value of \(k\), correct to 3 significant figures.
  4. Find the mass of B after 30 minutes.
  5. Explain what the model predicts for the mass of A remaining for large values of \(t\).
