TopicReduction Formulae
TypeAlgebraic function with square root
DifficultyChallenging +1.8 This is a substantial Further Maths reduction formula question requiring multiple techniques: differentiation of composite functions, integration by parts to establish a recurrence relation, and arc length for parametric curves. While the individual steps are standard for Further Maths students, the multi-part structure, algebraic manipulation needed for the reduction formula, and the connection between parts (especially recognizing the arc length simplifies to I₃) require solid technical facility and some mathematical maturity. It's harder than a typical A-level question but represents expected Further Maths material rather than requiring exceptional insight.

  1. Differentiate \(\left( 16 + t ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } }\) with respect to \(t\). Let \(I _ { n } = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 3 } t ^ { n } \sqrt { 16 + t ^ { 2 } } d t\) for integers \(n \geqslant 1\).
  2. Show that, for \(n \geqslant 3 , \left. ( n + 2 ) \right| _ { n } = 125 \times 3 ^ { n - 1 } - \left. 16 ( n - 1 ) \right| _ { n - 2 }\).
  3. The curve \(C\) is defined parametrically by \(\mathrm { x } = \mathrm { t } ^ { 4 } \cos \mathrm { t }\), \(\mathrm { y } = \mathrm { t } ^ { 4 } \sin \mathrm { t }\), for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 3\). The length of \(C\) is denoted by \(L\). Show that \(\mathrm { L } = \mathrm { I } _ { 3 }\). (You are not required to evaluate this integral.)
