  1. Evaluate \(A _ { 0 } = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 2 } \left( 2 + 2 x - x ^ { 2 } \right) \mathrm { d } x\). Fig 8.1 illustrates the cross-section of a proposed tunnel. Lengths are in metres. The equation of the curved section is \(y = 2 + \sqrt { 2 x - x ^ { 2 } }\). \begin{figure}[h]

    \end{figure} The designers need to know the area of the cross-section, \(A \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }\), so that they can work out the volume of the soil that will need to be removed when the tunnel is built.
  2. An initial estimate, \(A _ { 1 }\), is given by the area of the 8 rectangles shown in Fig 8.2. Calculate \(A _ { 1 }\), and state whether it is an overestimate or underestimate for \(A\). \begin{figure}[h]

  3. On graph paper, draw the graphs of $$y = 2 + 2 x - x ^ { 2 } \text { and } y = 2 + \sqrt { 2 x - x ^ { 2 } } \text { for } 0 \leq x \leq 2 .$$ Make it clear which equation applies to which curve.
  4. State whether \(A _ { 0 }\), your answer to part (i), is an underestimate for \(A\) or an overestimate. Give a reason for your answer.
  5. The designers use the trapezium rule to estimate \(A\). What values does this give when they take
    (A) 2 strips,
    (B) 4 strips,
    (C) 8 strips? What can you conclude about the value of \(A\) ?
  6. The best estimate from the trapezium rule is denoted by \(A _ { 2 }\). State, with a reason, whether the true value of \(A\) is nearer \(A _ { 1 }\) or \(A _ { 2 }\).

8 Scientists predict the velocity ( \(v\) kilometres per minute) for the new "outer explorer" spacecraft over the first minute of its entry to the atmosphere of the planet Titan to be modelled by the equation: $$v = \frac { 5000 } { ( 1 + t ) ( 2 + t ) ^ { 2 } } , 0 \leq t \leq 1 \text { where } t \text { represents time in minutes. }$$
  1. Use a binomial expansion to expand \(( 1 + t ) ^ { - 1 }\) up to and including the term in \(t ^ { 2 }\).
  2. Use a binomial expansion to expand \(( 2 + t ) ^ { - 2 }\) up to and including the term in \(t ^ { 2 }\).
  3. Hence, or otherwise, show that \(v \approx 1250 \left( 1 - 2 t + \frac { 11 t ^ { 2 } } { 4 } \right)\).
  4. The displacement of the spacecraft can be found by calculating the area under the velocity time graph. Use the approximation found in part (iii) to estimate the displacement of the spacecraft over the first half minute.
  5. Write \(\frac { 1 } { ( 1 + t ) ( 2 + t ) ^ { 2 } }\) in partial fractions.

  7. On further investigation the scientists believe the original model may be valid for up to three minutes. Explain why the approximation in (iii) will be no longer be valid for this time interval.

Taking the point \(O\) as the origin( 0,0 ),the centre of the base of the tower is at the point \(T ( 0,1 )\) ,where the unit of length is the metre.

  1. By expressing \(\sin \theta\) in terms of \(\mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \theta }\) and \(\mathrm { e } ^ { - \mathrm { i } \theta }\), show that $$\sin ^ { 6 } \theta \equiv - \frac { 1 } { 32 } ( \cos 6 \theta - 6 \cos 4 \theta + 15 \cos 2 \theta - 10 )$$
  2. Replace \(\theta\) by ( \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi - \theta\) ) in the identity in part (i) to obtain a similar identity for \(\cos ^ { 6 } \theta\).
  3. Hence find the exact value of \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi } \left( \sin ^ { 6 } \theta - \cos ^ { 6 } \theta \right) \mathrm { d } \theta\).
