  1. The first term of a geometric progression is 50 and the common ratio is 0.8 . Use logarithms to find the smallest value of \(k\) such that the value of the \(k\) th term is less than 0.15 .
  2. In a different geometric progression, the second term is - 3 and the sum to infinity is 4 . Show that there is only one possible value of the common ratio and hence find the first term. \section*{Question 9 begins on page 4.}

The point \(P ( 5,3 )\) lies on the curve. Region \(A\) is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(x = 5\). Region \(B\) is bounded by the curve, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(y = 3\).
  1. Use the trapezium rule, with 2 strips each of width 2.5 , to find an approximate value for the area of region \(A\), giving your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. Use your answer to part (i) to deduce an approximate value for the area of region \(B\).
  3. By first writing the equation of the curve in the form \(x = \mathrm { f } ( y )\), use integration to show that the exact area of region \(B\) is \(\frac { 14 } { 3 }\). \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER} \section*{OCR \(^ { \text {N } }\)}
