  1. Write down the operation table and, assuming associativity, show that \(G\) is a group.
  2. State the order of each element.
  3. Find all the proper subgroups of \(G\). The group \(H\) consists of the set \(\{ 1,3,7,9 \}\) with the operation of multiplication modulo 10 .

3 The differential equation $$3 x y ^ { 2 } \frac { \mathrm {~d} y } { \mathrm {~d} x } + 2 y ^ { 3 } = \frac { \cos x } { x }$$ is to be solved for \(x > 0\). Use the substitution \(u = y ^ { 3 }\) to find the general solution for \(y\) in terms of \(x\).

4 The complex numbers 0,3 and \(3 \mathrm { e } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi \mathrm { i } }\) are represented in an Argand diagram by the points \(O , A\) and \(B\) respectively.
  1. Sketch the triangle \(O A B\) and show that it is equilateral.
  2. Hence express \(3 - 3 e ^ { \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi i }\) in polar form.
  3. Hence find \(\left( 3 - 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi \mathrm { i } } \right) ^ { 5 }\), giving your answer in the form \(a + b \sqrt { 3 } \mathrm { i }\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are rational numbers.

6 The plane \(\Pi\) has equation \(x + 2 y - 2 z = 5\). The line \(l\) has equation \(\frac { x - 1 } { 2 } = \frac { y + 1 } { 5 } = \frac { z - 2 } { 1 }\).
  1. Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of \(l\) with the plane \(\Pi\).
  2. Calculate the acute angle between \(l\) and \(\Pi\).
  3. Find the coordinates of the two points on the line \(l\) such that the distance of each point from the plane \(\Pi\) is 2 .

  1. Use de Moivre's theorem to show that \(\cos 5 \theta \equiv 16 \cos ^ { 5 } \theta - 20 \cos ^ { 3 } \theta + 5 \cos \theta\).
  2. Hence find the roots of \(16 x ^ { 4 } - 20 x ^ { 2 } + 5 = 0\) in the form \(\cos \alpha\) where \(0 \leqslant \alpha \leqslant \pi\).
  3. Hence find the exact value of \(\cos \frac { 1 } { 10 } \pi\).
