4 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
Show that \(\frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 10 } + \sqrt { 11 } } + \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 11 } + \sqrt { 12 } } + \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 12 } + \sqrt { 13 } } = \frac { 3 } { \sqrt { 10 } + \sqrt { 13 } }\).
Question 5
View details
5 A student's attempt to prove by contradiction that there is no largest prime number is shown below.
If there is a largest prime, list all the primes.
Multiply all the primes and add 1.
The new number is not divisible by any of the primes in the list and so it must be a new prime. The proof is incorrect and incomplete.
Write a correct version of the proof.

Question 15

15 A typical tube of toothpaste measures 5.4 cm across the straight edge at the top and is 12 cm high. It contains 75 ml of toothpaste so it needs to have an internal volume of \(75 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\). Comment on the accuracy of the formula \(V = \frac { 2 } { 3 } \pi r ^ { 2 } h\), as given in line 41 , for the volume in this case. \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER}
