1 A curve has equation \(\mathrm { y } = 2 \tan \mathrm { x } - 5 \sin \mathrm { x }\) for \(0 \leqslant x < \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\).
Find the \(x\)-coordinate of the stationary point of the curve. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
5 A curve has equation \(\mathrm { y } = \frac { 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 \mathrm { x } } } { 1 + 3 \mathrm { x } }\). The curve has exactly one stationary point \(P\).
Find \(\frac { \mathrm { dy } } { \mathrm { dx } }\) and hence show that the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\) satisfies the equation \(x = \frac { 1 } { 6 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { e } ^ { - 2 x }\).
Show by calculation that the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\) lies between 0.35 and 0.45 .
Use an iterative formula based on the equation in part (a) to find the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\) correct to 3 significant figures. Give the result of each iteration to 5 significant figures.

The diagram shows the curve with equation \(\mathrm { y } = \sqrt { \sin 2 \mathrm { x } + \sin ^ { 2 } 2 \mathrm { x } }\) for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant \frac { 1 } { 6 } \pi\). The shaded region is bounded by the curve and the straight lines \(x = \frac { 1 } { 6 } \pi\) and \(y = 0\).
Use the trapezium rule with two intervals to find an approximation to the area of the shaded region. Give your answer correct to 2 significant figures.
7 The polynomial \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) is defined by
$$p ( x ) = 9 x ^ { 3 } + 6 x ^ { 2 } + 12 x + k$$
where \(k\) is a constant.
Find the quotient when \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) is divided by \(( 3 x + 2 )\) and show that the remainder is \(( k - 8 )\).
It is given that \(\int _ { 1 } ^ { 6 } \frac { \mathrm { p } ( \mathrm { x } ) } { 3 \mathrm { x } + 2 } \mathrm { dx } = \mathrm { a } + \ln 64\), where \(a\) is an integer.
Find the values of \(a\) and \(k\).
