1. By differentiating \(\mathrm { e } ^ { - x ^ { 2 } }\), find the Maclaurin's series for \(\mathrm { e } ^ { - x ^ { 2 } }\) up to and including the term in \(x ^ { 2 }\).
2. Deduce an approximation to \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 5 } } \mathrm { e } ^ { - x ^ { 2 } } \mathrm {~d} x\), giving your answer as a rational fraction in its lowest terms.

2 The variables \(x\) and \(y\) are related by the differential equation $$9 \frac { d ^ { 2 } y } { d x ^ { 2 } } + 6 \frac { d y } { d x } + y = 3 x ^ { 2 } + 30 x$$

1. Find the general solution for \(y\) in terms of \(x\).
2. State an approximate solution for large positive values of \(x\).

1. Show that the system of equations $$\begin{array} { r } x - 2 y - 4 z = 1 \\ x - 2 y + k z = 1 \\ - x + 2 y + 2 z = 1 \end{array}$$ where \(k\) is a constant, does not have a unique solution.
2. Given that \(k = - 4\), show that the system of equations in part (a) is consistent. Interpret this situation geometrically.
3. Given instead that \(k = - 2\), show that the system of equations in part (a) is inconsistent. Interpret this situation geometrically.
4. For the case where \(k \neq - 2\) and \(k \neq - 4\), show that the system of equations in part (a) is inconsistent. Interpret this situation geometrically. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{7da7fa35-1b97-4708-a1a2-cba9e35c8bf0-06_894_841_260_612} The diagram shows the curve with equation \(\mathrm { y } = 1 - \mathrm { x } ^ { 3 }\) for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 1\), together with a set of \(n\) rectangles of width \(\frac { 1 } { n }\).

1. By considering the sum of the areas of the rectangles, show that $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \left( 1 - x ^ { 3 } \right) d x \leqslant \frac { 3 n ^ { 2 } + 2 n - 1 } { 4 n ^ { 2 } }$$
2. Use a similar method to find, in terms of \(n\), a lower bound for \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \left( 1 - x ^ { 3 } \right) \mathrm { dx }\).

5 It is given that $$x = \sinh ^ { - 1 } t , \quad y = \cos ^ { - 1 } t$$ where \(- 1 < t < 1\).

1. By differentiating \(\cos y\) with respect to \(t\), show that \(\frac { d y } { d t } = - \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 1 - t ^ { 2 } } }\).
2. Find \(\frac { d ^ { 2 } y } { d x ^ { 2 } }\) in terms of \(t\), simplifying your answer.

1. Use de Moivre's theorem to show that \(\sin ^ { 4 } \theta = \frac { 1 } { 8 } ( \cos 4 \theta - 4 \cos 2 \theta + 3 )\).
2. Find the solution of the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} \theta } + y \cot \theta = \sin ^ { 3 } \theta$$ for which \(y = 0\) when \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\).

7 The matrix \(\mathbf { P }\) is given by $$\mathbf { P } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r } 1 & 4 & 2 \\ 0 & - 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{array} \right) .$$

1. State the eigenvalues of \(\mathbf { P }\).
2. Use the characteristic equation of \(\mathbf { P }\) to find \(\mathbf { P } ^ { - 1 }\).
   The \(3 \times 3\) matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) has distinct eigenvalues \(b , - 1,1\) with corresponding eigenvectors $$\left( \begin{array} { l } 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array} \right) , \quad \left( \begin{array} { r } 4 \\ - 1 \\ 0 \end{array} \right) , \quad \left( \begin{array} { l } 2 \\ 1 \\ 2 \end{array} \right)$$ respectively.
3. Find \(\mathbf { A }\) in terms of b.

1. Sketch the graph of \(\mathrm { y } = \operatorname { coth } \mathrm { x }\) for \(x > 0\) and state the equations of the asymptotes.
2. Starting from the definitions of coth and cosech in terms of exponentials, prove that $$\operatorname { coth } ^ { 2 } x - \operatorname { cosech } ^ { 2 } x = 1$$ The curve \(C\) has equation \(\mathrm { y } = \ln \operatorname { coth } \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { x } \right)\) for \(x > 0\).
3. Show that \(\frac { \mathrm { dy } } { \mathrm { dx } } = - \operatorname { cosechx }\).
4. It is given that the arc length of \(C\) from \(\mathrm { x } = \mathrm { a }\) to \(\mathrm { x } = 2 \mathrm { a }\) is \(\ln 4\), where \(a\) is a positive constant. Show that \(\cosh a = 2\) and find, in logarithmic form, the exact value of \(a\).
