Anderson Junior College Preliminary Examination 2008 H2 Mathematics Paper 1 (9740/01) Expand as a series of ascending powers of x, up to and including the term in x6. State the values of x for which this expansion is valid. Obtain, in its simplest form, the term in x2n in this expansion. [4] 2. Find the exact value of . [4] 3. Solve, the inequality . Hence, by completing the square, solve the inequality. [5] 4. It is given that . Show that . [2] Find Maclaurin’s series for y in ascending powers of x, up to and including the term in x2. [3] By choosing a suitable value for x, deduce the approximate relation , where k is a constant to be determined. [2] 5. The planes and , which meet in the line l, have equations respectively. Find a vector equation of the line l in the form , . [2] Plane intersects and at a unique point. State the z – coordinate of this point of intersection. Give a reason for your answer. [2] (iii) Another plane is parallel to the normals of and . Explain whether the 3 planes , and intersect at a unique point. [2]  6. If z = i is a root of the equation , determine the other roots. Hence find the roots of the equation . [7] A capsule made of two similar hemispheres of radius r cm, one at each end of a cylinder, is inscribed into a fixed cone of height 12 cm and base radius 9 cm. The two figures have a common axis of symmetry and the cross-section is shown below. Show that the height of the cylinder of the capsule, x cm, is related to the radius of the hemisphere through the equation, . [3] Given that, when cm, is decreasing at a rate of cms-1, find the rate of change at this instant of the volume of the capsule. [4] [Given: Volume of sphere = ] 8. (a) Let , Find in terms of N, an expression for , where , simplifying your result as far as possible. [3] Show that for all N ≥ 1. [2] (b) Prove by mathematical induction that, for every positive integer n,
