1. Solve the equation \(| x + 2 | = | x - 13 |\).
2. Hence solve the equation \(\left| 3 ^ { y } + 2 \right| = \left| 3 ^ { y } - 13 \right|\), giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

1. Find \(\int 4 \cos \left( \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + 2 \right) \mathrm { d } x\).
2. Use the trapezium rule with three intervals to find an approximation to $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { 12 } \sqrt { } \left( 4 + x ^ { 2 } \right) \mathrm { d } x$$ giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.

4 The parametric equations of a curve are $$x = 2 \ln ( t + 1 ) , \quad y = 4 \mathrm { e } ^ { t }$$ Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point for which \(t = 0\). Give your answer in the form \(a x + b y + c = 0\), where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are integers.

The graph of \(\ln y\) against \(x\) is a straight line passing through the points ( \(1.35,1.87\) ) and ( \(3.35,3.81\) ), as shown in the diagram. Find the values of \(K\) and \(p\) correct to 2 decimal places.

6 The polynomial \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) is defined by $$\mathrm { p } ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } + 2 x + a$$ where \(a\) is a constant.

1. Given that \(( x + 2 )\) is a factor of \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\), find the value of \(a\).
2. When \(a\) has this value, find the quotient when \(\mathrm { p } ( x )\) is divided by ( \(x + 2\) ) and hence show that the equation \(\mathrm { p } ( x ) = 0\) has exactly one real root.

7 It is given that \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { a } \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { e } ^ { 3 x } + x ^ { 2 } \right) \mathrm { d } x = 10\), where \(a\) is a positive constant.

1. Show that \(a = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \ln \left( 61 - 2 a ^ { 3 } \right)\).
2. Show by calculation that the value of \(a\) lies between 1.0 and 1.5.
3. Use an iterative formula, based on the equation in part (i), to find the value of \(a\) correct to 3 decimal places. Give the result of each iteration to 5 decimal places.

1. Show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 4 \cos ^ { 2 } x - \sec ^ { 2 } x - 2\).
2. Hence find the \(x\)-coordinate of \(M\), giving your answer correct to 2 decimal places.
