1 It is given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \ln ( 3 + x )\).

1. Find the exact values of \(f ( 0 )\) and \(f ^ { \prime } ( 0 )\), and show that \(f ^ { \prime \prime } ( 0 ) = - \frac { 1 } { 9 }\).
2. Hence write down the first three terms of the Maclaurin series for \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\), given that \(- 3 < x \leqslant 3\).

2 It is given that \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - \tan ^ { - 1 } x\).

1. Show by calculation that the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = 0\) has a root in the interval \(0.8 < x < 0.9\).
2. Use the Newton-Raphson method, with a first approximation 0.8, to find the next approximation to this root. Give your answer correct to 3 decimal places.

The region under the curve between these limits is divided into four strips of equal width. The area of this region under the curve is \(A\).

1. By considering the set of rectangles indicated in the diagram, show that an upper bound for \(A\) is 1.71 .
2. By considering an appropriate set of four rectangles, find a lower bound for \(A\).

1. On separate diagrams, sketch the graphs of \(y = \sinh x\) and \(y = \operatorname { cosech } x\).
2. Show that \(\operatorname { cosech } x = \frac { 2 \mathrm { e } ^ { x } } { \mathrm { e } ^ { 2 x } - 1 }\), and hence, using the substitution \(u = \mathrm { e } ^ { x }\), find \(\int \operatorname { cosech } x \mathrm {~d} x\).

2. Given that \(y = \tanh ^ { - 1 } x\), where \(- 1 < x < 1\), prove that \(y = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln \left( \frac { 1 + x } { 1 - x } \right)\).
3. Find the exact solution of the equation \(3 \cosh x = 4 \sinh x\), giving the answer in terms of a logarithm.
4. Solve the equation $$\tanh ^ { - 1 } x + \ln ( 1 - x ) = \ln \left( \frac { 4 } { 5 } \right)$$

9 The equation of a curve, in polar coordinates, is $$r = \sec \theta + \tan \theta , \quad \text { for } 0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi$$
