  1. Show that \((1-\frac{1}{4}e^{2i\theta})(1-\frac{1}{4}e^{-2i\theta}) = \frac{1}{16}(17-8\cos 2\theta)\) [3 marks]
  2. Given that the series \(e^{2i\theta} + \frac{1}{4}e^{4i\theta} + \frac{1}{16}e^{6i\theta} + \frac{1}{64}e^{8i\theta} + \ldots\) has a sum to infinity, express this sum to infinity in terms of \(e^{2i\theta}\) [2 marks]
  3. Hence show that \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{4^{n-1}} \cos 2n\theta = \frac{16\cos 2\theta - 4}{17 - 8\cos 2\theta}\) [4 marks]
  4. Deduce a similar expression for \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{4^{n-1}} \sin 2n\theta\) [1 mark]

A designer is using a computer aided design system to design part of a building. He models part of a roof as a triangular prism \(ABCDEF\) with parallel triangular ends \(ABC\) and \(DEF\), and a rectangular base \(ACFD\). He uses the metre as the unit of length. \includegraphics{figure_16} The coordinates of \(B\), \(C\) and \(D\) are \((3, 1, 11)\), \((9, 3, 4)\) and \((-4, 12, 4)\) respectively. He uses the equation \(x - 3y = 0\) for the plane \(ABC\). He uses \(\mathbf{r} - \begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ 12 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix} \times \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ -12 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}\) for the equation of the line \(AD\). Find the volume of the space enclosed inside this section of the roof. [9 marks]
