Business A made a £5000 profit during its first year. In each subsequent year, the profit increased by £1500 so that the profit was £6500 during the second year, £8000 during the third year and so on. Business B made a £5000 profit during its first year. In each subsequent year, the profit was 90% of the previous year's profit.
  1. Find an expression for the total profit made by business A during the first \(n\) years. Give your answer in its simplest form. [2]
  2. Find an expression for the total profit made by business B during the first \(n\) years. Give your answer in its simplest form. [3]
  3. Find how many years it will take for the total profit of business A to reach £385 000. [3]
  4. Comment on the profits made by each business in the long term. [2]

The equation \(x^3 - x^2 - 5x + 10 = 0\) has exactly one real root \(\alpha\).
  1. Show that the Newton-Raphson iterative formula for finding this root can be written as $$x_{n+1} = \frac{2x_n^3 - x_n^2 - 10}{3x_n^2 - 2x_n - 5}.$$ [3]
  2. Apply the iterative formula in part (a) with initial value \(x_1 = -3\) to find \(x_2, x_3, x_4\) correct to 4 significant figures. [1]
  3. Use a change of sign method to show that \(\alpha = -2.533\) is correct to 4 significant figures. [3]
  4. Explain why the Newton-Raphson method with initial value \(x_1 = -1\) would not converge to \(\alpha\). [2]

John wants to encourage more birds to come into the park near his house. Each day, starting on day 1, he puts bird food out and then observes the birds for one hour. He records the maximum number of birds that he observes at any given moment in the park each day. He believes that his observations may be modelled by the following differential equation, where \(n\) is the maximum number of birds that he observed at any given moment on day \(t\). $$\frac{dn}{dt} = 0.1n\left(1 - \frac{n}{50}\right)$$
  1. Show that the general solution to the differential equation can be written in the form $$n = \frac{50A}{e^{-0.1t} + A},$$ where \(A\) is an arbitrary positive constant. [9]
  2. Using his model, determine the maximum number of birds that John would expect to observe at any given moment in the long term. [1]
  3. Write down one possible refinement of this model. [1]
  4. Write down one way in which John's model is not appropriate. [1]
