1. Given that

$$\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { l l } 3 & 2
2 & 2 \end{array} \right)$$

1. find the characteristic equation for the matrix \(\mathbf { A }\), simplifying your answer.
2. Hence find an expression for the matrix \(\mathbf { A } ^ { - 1 }\) in the form \(\lambda \mathbf { A } + \mu \mathbf { I }\), where \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) are constants to be found.

1. (i) Determine all the possible integers \(a\), where \(a > 3\), such that

$$15 \equiv 3 \bmod a$$ (ii) Show that if \(p\) is prime, \(x\) is an integer and \(x ^ { 2 } \equiv 1 \bmod p\) then either $$x \equiv 1 \bmod p \quad \text { or } \quad x \equiv - 1 \bmod p$$ (iii) A company has \(\pounds 13940220\) to share between 11 charities. Without performing any division and showing all your working, decide if it is possible to share this money equally between the 11 charities.

1. A curve \(C\) in the complex plane is described by the equation

$$| z - 1 - 8 i | = 3 | z - 1 |$$

1. Show that \(C\) is a circle, and find its centre and radius.
2. Using the answer to part (a), determine whether \(z = 3 - 3 \mathrm { i }\) satisfies the inequality $$| z - 1 - 8 i | \geqslant 3 | z - 1 |$$
3. Shade, on an Argand diagram, the set of points that satisfies both $$| z - 1 - 8 i | \geqslant 3 | z - 1 | \quad \text { and } \quad 0 \leqslant \arg ( z + i ) \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 4 }$$

1. The set \(\{ e , p , q , r , s \}\) forms a group, \(A\), under the operation *

Given that \(e\) is the identity element and that $$p ^ { * } p = s \quad s ^ { * } s = r \quad p ^ { * } p ^ { * } p = q$$

1. show that
   1. \(p ^ { * } q = r\)
   2. \(s ^ { * } p = q\)
2. Hence complete the Cayley table below.

   *	\(e\)	\(\boldsymbol { p }\)	\(\boldsymbol { q }\)	\(r\)	\(s\)
   \(e\)
   \(\boldsymbol { p }\)
   \(\boldsymbol { q }\)
   \(\boldsymbol { r }\)
   \(S\)

   A spare table can be found on page 11 if you need to rewrite your Cayley table.
3. Use your table to find \(p ^ { * } q ^ { * } r ^ { * } s\) A student states that there is a subgroup of \(A\) of order 3
4. Comment on the validity of this statement, giving a reason for your answer. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{989d779e-c40a-4658-ad98-17a37ab1d9e1-11_2464_74_304_36}
   Only use this grid if you need to rewrite the Cayley table.

1. On Jim's 11 th birthday his parents invest \(\pounds 1000\) for him in a savings account.

The account earns 2\% interest each year.
On each subsequent birthday, Jim's parents add another \(\pounds 500\) to this savings account.
Let \(U _ { n }\) be the amount of money that Jim has in his savings account \(n\) years after his 11th birthday, once the interest for the previous year has been paid and the \(\pounds 500\) has been added.

1. Explain, in the context of the problem, why the amount of money that Jim has in his savings account can be modelled by the recurrence relation of the form $$U _ { n } = 1.02 U _ { n - 1 } + 500 \quad U _ { 0 } = 1000 \quad n \in \mathbb { Z } ^ { + }$$
2. State an assumption that must be made for this model to be valid.
3. Solve the recurrence relation $$U _ { n } = 1.02 U _ { n - 1 } + 500 \quad U _ { 0 } = 1000 \quad n \in \mathbb { Z } ^ { + }$$ Jim hopes to be able to buy a car on his 18th birthday.
4. Use the answer to part (c) to find out whether Jim will have enough money in his savings account to buy a car that costs \(\pounds 4500\)
