1 A curve passes through the point (1,3) and satisfies the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \frac { x } { 1 + x ^ { 3 } }$$ Starting at the point ( 1,3 ), use a step-by-step method with a step length of 0.1 to estimate the value of \(y\) at \(x = 1.2\). Give your answer to four decimal places.

Let \(Y = \log _ { 10 } y\) and \(X = \log _ { 10 } x\).

1. Show that there is a linear relationship between \(Y\) and \(X\).
2. The graph of \(Y\) against \(X\) is shown in the diagram. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{cf9337b9-b766-4ce5-967c-5d7522e2aa42-4_748_858_849_593} Find the value of \(n\) and the value of \(a\).

1. Show that $$\sum _ { r = 1 } ^ { n } 2 r \left( 2 r ^ { 2 } - 3 r - 1 \right) = n ( n + p ) ( n + q ) ^ { 2 }$$ where \(p\) and \(q\) are integers to be found.
