  1. Use the factor theorem to show that \(( x + 2 )\) is a factor of $$x ^ { 4 } + 2 x ^ { 3 } + 2 x ^ { 2 } - 12 x - 32$$
  2. Show that \(\beta\) satisfies an equation of the form \(x = \sqrt [ 3 ] { } ( p + q x )\), and state the values of \(p\) and \(q\). [3]
  3. Use an iterative formula based on the equation in part (ii) to find the value of \(\beta\) correct to 4 significant figures. Give the result of each iteration to 6 significant figures.

The region \(R\) is bounded by the curve, the axes and the line \(x = \pi\).
  1. Use the trapezium rule with two intervals to find an approximation to the area of \(R\), giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. The region \(R\) is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis. Without using a calculator, find the exact volume of the solid produced.

  1. Find an expression for \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\).
  2. By first expressing \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\) in the form \(R \cos ( 2 x + \alpha )\), where \(R > 0\) and \(0 < \alpha < \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\), find the \(x\)-coordinates of \(P\) and \(Q\), giving your answers correct to 4 significant figures.
