1. \(\alpha ^ { 2 } + \beta ^ { 2 } + \gamma ^ { 2 }\),
2. \(\alpha ^ { 3 } + \beta ^ { 3 } + \gamma ^ { 3 }\).

2 Prove, by mathematical induction, that, for integers \(n \geqslant 2\), $$4 ^ { n } > 2 ^ { n } + 3 ^ { n }$$

6 Write down the values of \(\theta\), in the interval \(0 \leqslant \theta < 2 \pi\), for which \(\cos \theta + \mathrm { i } \sin \theta\) is a fifth root of unity. By writing the equation \(( z + 1 ) ^ { 5 } = z ^ { 5 }\) in the form $$\left( \frac { z + 1 } { z } \right) ^ { 5 } = 1$$ show that its roots are $$- \frac { 1 } { 2 } \left\{ 1 + \mathrm { i } \cot \left( \frac { k \pi } { 5 } \right) \right\} , \quad k = 1,2,3,4$$

7 The linear transformations \(\mathrm { T } _ { 1 } : \mathbb { R } ^ { 4 } \rightarrow \mathbb { R } ^ { 4 }\) and \(\mathrm { T } _ { 2 } : \mathbb { R } ^ { 4 } \rightarrow \mathbb { R } ^ { 4 }\) are represented by the matrices $$\mathbf { M } _ { 1 } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r r } 1 & 1 & 1 & 4
2 & 1 & 4 & 11
3 & 4 & 1 & 9

Show that $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \pi } \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \sin x \mathrm {~d} x = \frac { 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { \pi } } { 2 }$$ Given that $$I _ { n } = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \pi } \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \sin ^ { n } x \mathrm {~d} x$$ show that, for \(n \geqslant 2\), $$I _ { n } = n ( n - 1 ) \int _ { 0 } ^ { \pi } \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \cos ^ { 2 } x \sin ^ { n - 2 } x \mathrm {~d} x - n I _ { n }$$ and deduce that $$\left( n ^ { 2 } + 1 \right) I _ { n } = n ( n - 1 ) I _ { n - 2 } .$$ A curve has equation \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \sin ^ { 5 } x\).
