(a) The volume of a cylinder is \(V = \pi r^2 h = 128\pi\), which gives \(h = \frac{128}{r^2}\). The total surface area is \(S = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\). Substituting \(h\) gives \(S = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r \left(\frac{128}{r^2}\right) = 2\pi r^2 + \frac{256\pi}{r}\). (b) Differentiating \(S\) with respect to \(r\) gives \(\frac{\text{d}S}{\text{d}r} = 4\pi r - \frac{256\pi}{r^2}\). Setting \(\frac{\text{d}S}{\text{d}r} = 0\) gives \(4\pi r = \frac{256\pi}{r^2} \implies r^3 = 64 \implies r = 4\). Finding the second derivative gives \(\frac{\text{d}^2S}{\text{d}r^2} = 4\pi + \frac{512\pi}{r^3}\). For \(r = 4\), \(\frac{\text{d}^2S}{\text{d}r^2} = 4\pi + \frac{512\pi}{64} = 12\pi > 0\), which confirms a minimum. (c) Substituting \(r = 4\) into the expression for \(S\) gives \(S = 2\pi(4)^2 + \frac{256\pi}{4} = 32\pi + 64\pi = 96\pi\).

(a) M1: Uses \(V = 128\pi\) to express \(h\) in terms of \(r\). A1: Correctly substitutes \(h\) into \(S = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\) to show the given formula. (b) M1: Differentiates \(S\) to find \(\frac{\text{d}S}{\text{d}r}\). A1: Equates to 0 and solves to find \(r = 4\). M1: Finds \(\frac{\text{d}^2S}{\text{d}r^2}\) and evaluates at \(r = 4\). A1: Showing \(\frac{\text{d}^2S}{\text{d}r^2} > 0\) to justify minimum. (c) M1: Substitutes \(r = 4\) into \(S\). A1: Obtains \(96\pi\).

(a) Using \(\cos(A+B) = \cos A \cos B - \sin A \sin B\), we have \(\cos 3\theta = \cos(2\theta + \theta) = \cos 2\theta \cos \theta - \sin 2\theta \sin \theta\). Substituting \(\cos 2\theta = 2\cos^2 \theta - 1\) and \(\sin 2\theta = 2\sin \theta \cos \theta\), we get \((2\cos^2 \theta - 1)\cos \theta - 2\sin^2 \theta \cos \theta = 2\cos^3 \theta - \cos \theta - 2(1 - \cos^2 \theta)\cos \theta = 4\cos^3 \theta - 3\cos \theta\). (b) The equation \(8\cos^3 \theta - 6\cos \theta - 1 = 0\) can be rewritten as \(2(4\cos^3 \theta - 3\cos \theta) = 1\), which simplifies using part (a) to \(2\cos 3\theta = 1 \implies \cos 3\theta = \frac{1}{2}\). Since \(0 \le \theta \le \pi\), we have \(0 \le 3\theta \le 3\pi\). This gives \(3\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{5\pi}{3}, \frac{7\pi}{3}\). Solving for \(\theta\) gives \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{9}, \frac{5\pi}{9}, \frac{7\pi}{9}\).

(a) M1: Uses \(\cos(2\theta+\theta)\) compound angle formula. M1: Applies double angle formulae for \(\cos 2\theta\) and \(\sin 2\theta\). M1: Uses \(\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta\). A1: Fully correct proof. (b) M1: Recognises the identity from part (a) to write \(2\cos 3\theta = 1\). A1: Finding \(\cos 3\theta = \frac{1}{2}\). M1: Finds at least two correct values for \(3\theta\) in the range. A1: Divides by 3 to find correct values of \(\theta\). A1: All three correct values: \(\frac{\pi}{9}\), \(\frac{5\pi}{9}\), \(\frac{7\pi}{9}\) and no others in the range.

From the given quadratic equation, the sum of roots is \(\alpha + \beta = -\frac{5}{2}\) and the product is \(\alpha\beta = \frac{4}{2} = 2\). (a) \(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta = \left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)^2 - 2(2) = \frac{25}{4} - 4 = \frac{9}{4}\). (b) \(\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = (\alpha + \beta)^3 - 3\alpha\beta(\alpha + \beta) = \left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)^3 - 3(2)\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) = -\frac{125}{8} + 15 = -\frac{5}{8}\). (c) The sum of the new roots is \(S = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} + \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2} = \frac{\alpha^3 + \beta^3}{\alpha^2 \beta^2} = \frac{-5/8}{2^2} = -\frac{5}{32}\). The product of the new roots is \(P = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} \times \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2} = \frac{1}{\alpha\beta} = \frac{1}{2}\). The new equation is \(x^2 - Sx + P = 0 \implies x^2 + \frac{5}{32}x + \frac{1}{2} = 0\). Multiplying by 32 to get integer coefficients gives \(32x^2 + 5x + 16 = 0\).

(a) B1: Correct sum \(\alpha+\beta = -2.5\) and product \(\alpha\beta = 2\). M1: Uses identity \(\alpha^2+\beta^2 = (\alpha+\beta)^2-2\alpha\beta\) to find \(\frac{9}{4}\). (b) M1: Uses identity \(\alpha^3+\beta^3 = (\alpha+\beta)^3-3\alpha\beta(\alpha+\beta)\). A1: Correctly calculates \(-\frac{5}{8}\). (c) M1: Finds sum of new roots in terms of \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\). A1: Correctly calculates \(S = -\frac{5}{32}\). M1: Finds product of new roots \(P = \frac{1}{2}\). A1: Correct equation in the required form \(32x^2 + 5x + 16 = 0\).

(a) The midpoint \(M\) of \(AB\) is \(\left(\frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{5-3}{2}\right) = (3, 1)\). The gradient of \(AB\) is \(m = \frac{-3-5}{5-1} = \frac{-8}{4} = -2\). The gradient of the perpendicular bisector is \(m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2}\). The equation of the perpendicular bisector is \(y - 1 = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3) \implies 2y - 2 = x - 3 \implies 2y - x + 1 = 0\). (b) The line meets the \(x\)-axis when \(y = 0\), which gives \(2(0) - x + 1 = 0 \implies x = 1\). Thus, \(P\) is \((1, 0)\). (c) The area of triangle \(ABP\) with coordinates \(A(1, 5)\), \(B(5, -3)\), and \(P(1, 0)\) can be calculated using the formula \(\frac{1}{2} | 1(-3-0) + 5(0-5) + 1(5-(-3)) | = \frac{1}{2} | -3 - 25 + 8 | = \frac{1}{2} | -20 | = 10\).

(a) M1: Finds midpoint \(M(3, 1)\) of \(AB\). M1: Finds gradient of \(AB\) and negative reciprocal. M1: Finds equation of the perpendicular line. A1: Correct equation in required form, e.g. \(2y - x + 1 = 0\) or any integer multiple. (b) M1: Sets \(y = 0\) in their line equation. A1: Correct coordinates \(P(1, 0)\). (c) M1: Uses a valid method to find the area of the triangle (e.g. shoelace formula or base/height). A1: Correct distance calculations or correct substitution into formula. A1: Area = 10.

(a) The first, third, and eleventh terms of the arithmetic series are \(a\), \(a+2d\), and \(a+10d\) respectively. Since these terms are in a geometric series, we have \(\frac{a+2d}{a} = \frac{a+10d}{a+2d} \implies (a+2d)^2 = a(a+10d)\). Expanding both sides: \(a^2 + 4ad + 4d^2 = a^2 + 10ad \implies 4d^2 = 6ad\). Since \(d \neq 0\), we can divide by \(2d\) to get \(2d = 3a \implies d = \frac{3}{2}a\). (b) The common ratio \(r\) is given by \(\frac{a+2d}{a}\). Substituting \(d = \frac{3}{2}a\) gives \(r = \frac{a + 2(1.5a)}{a} = \frac{4a}{a} = 4\). (c) The sum of the first 20 terms of an arithmetic series is \(S_{20} = \frac{20}{2}[2a + 19d] = 10[2a + 19d] = 610 \implies 2a + 19d = 61\). Substituting \(d = 1.5a\) gives \(2a + 19(1.5a) = 61 \implies 30.5a = 61 \implies a = 2\). Since \(d = 1.5a\), we have \(d = 1.5(2) = 3\).

(a) M1: Sets up the geometric series relation \((a+2d)^2 = a(a+10d)\). M1: Expands and simplifies the equation. A1: Correctly deduces \(d = 1.5a\). (b) M1: Writes the ratio \(r = \frac{a+2d}{a}\) and substitutes \(d\). A1: Correctly shows \(r = 4\). (c) M1: Uses the sum of arithmetic series formula to write \(10[2a + 19d] = 610\). M1: Substitutes \(d = 1.5a\) to find a linear equation in one variable. A1: Finds \(a = 2\). A1: Finds \(d = 3\).

(a) Using the binomial expansion formula, \(\mathrm{f}(x) = (1 - 3x)^{-\frac{1}{3}} = 1 + \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)(-3x) + \frac{(-\frac{1}{3})(-\frac{4}{3})}{2!}(-3x)^2 + \frac{(-\frac{1}{3})(-\frac{4}{3})(-\frac{7}{3})}{3!}(-3x)^3 + \dots = 1 + x + \frac{2}{9}(9x^2) + \frac{14}{81}(27x^3) + \dots = 1 + x + 2x^2 + \frac{14}{3}x^3\). (b) The expansion is valid for \(|-3x| < 1 \implies |x| < \frac{1}{3}\). (c) Substituting \(x = 0.01\) gives \((1 - 3(0.01))^{-\frac{1}{3}} = (0.97)^{-\frac{1}{3}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{100}{97}}\). Substituting \(x = 0.01\) into the expansion gives \(1 + (0.01) + 2(0.01)^2 + \frac{14}{3}(0.01)^3 = 1 + 0.01 + 0.0002 + \frac{14}{3}(0.000001) \approx 1.0102 + 0.0000046667 = 1.01020467\).

(a) M1: Applies the binomial expansion formula with fractional exponent. M1: Obtains correct second term \(x\). M1: Obtains correct third term coefficient \(2\). A1: Obtains correct fourth term coefficient \(\frac{14}{3}\). (b) B1: Correct range \(|x| < \frac{1}{3}\) or equivalent. (c) M1: Shows that substituting \(x = 0.01\) into the function gives \(\sqrt[3]{\frac{100}{97}}\). M1: Substitutes \(x = 0.01\) into the polynomial. A1: Correctly calculates value to 8 decimal places: 1.01020467.

(a) Since \(OP : PA = 2 : 1\), \(\overrightarrow{OP} = \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a}\). Since \(OQ : QB = 1 : 3\), \(\overrightarrow{OQ} = \frac{1}{4}\mathbf{b}\). Then \(\overrightarrow{AQ} = \overrightarrow{AO} + \overrightarrow{OQ} = -\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{4}\mathbf{b}\), and \(\overrightarrow{BP} = \overrightarrow{BO} + \overrightarrow{OP} = \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b}\). (b) Let \(\overrightarrow{OX} = \overrightarrow{OA} + \lambda \overrightarrow{AQ} = \mathbf{a} + \lambda(-\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{4}\mathbf{b}) = (1-\lambda)\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{4}\lambda \mathbf{b}\). Also, let \(\overrightarrow{OX} = \overrightarrow{OB} + \mu \overrightarrow{BP} = \mathbf{b} + \mu(\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b}) = \frac{2}{3}\mu \mathbf{a} + (1-\mu)\mathbf{b}\). Equating the coefficients of \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\): \(1-\lambda = \frac{2}{3}\mu\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\lambda = 1-\mu\). From the second equation, \(\mu = 1 - \frac{1}{4}\lambda\). Substituting into the first gives \(1-\lambda = \frac{2}{3}(1 - \frac{1}{4}\lambda) = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{6}\lambda \implies \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{6}\lambda \implies \lambda = \frac{2}{5}\). Then \(\mu = \frac{9}{10}\). Substituting \(\lambda\) into \(\overrightarrow{OX}\) gives \(\overrightarrow{OX} = \frac{3}{5}\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{10}\mathbf{b}\). (c) Since \(\overrightarrow{OX} = \overrightarrow{OB} + \mu \overrightarrow{BP}\) with \(\mu = \frac{9}{10}\), we have \(\overrightarrow{BX} = \frac{9}{10}\overrightarrow{BP}\), meaning \(PX = \frac{1}{10}BP\) and \(XB = \frac{9}{10}BP\). Thus, \(PX : XB = 1 : 9\).

(a) B1: Correct expression for \(\overrightarrow{AQ}\). B1: Correct expression for \(\overrightarrow{BP}\). (b) M1: Writes \(\overrightarrow{OX}\) as \(\overrightarrow{OA} + \lambda \overrightarrow{AQ}\). M1: Writes \(\overrightarrow{OX}\) as \(\overrightarrow{OB} + \mu \overrightarrow{BP}\). M1: Equates coefficients of \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) to form simultaneous equations. A1: Solves to find \(\lambda = 0.4\) or \(\mu = 0.9\). A1: Correct expression for \(\overrightarrow{OX} = 0.6\mathbf{a} + 0.1\mathbf{b}\). (c) M1: Recognises relationship between ratio and \(\mu\). A1: Correct ratio \(1 : 9\).

(a) Using the laws of logarithms, \(\log_3((x+4)(x-2)) = 3 \implies (x+4)(x-2) = 3^3 = 27\). Expanding and simplifying gives \(x^2 + 2x - 8 = 27 \implies x^2 + 2x - 35 = 0\). Factoring the quadratic gives \((x+7)(x-5) = 0 \implies x = -7\) or \(x = 5\). Since we must have \(x > 2\) for the original logarithms to be defined, we reject \(x = -7\). Hence, \(x = 5\). (b) From the first equation, \(2^x \times 2^{2y} = 2^5 \implies x + 2y = 5\). From the second equation, \(3x - y = 2^3 \implies 3x - y = 8\). Multiplying the second equation by 2 gives \(6x - 2y = 16\). Adding this to the first equation gives \(7x = 21 \implies x = 3\). Substituting \(x = 3\) into \(x+2y=5\) gives \(3 + 2y = 5 \implies y = 1\).

(a) M1: Uses product law for logarithms: \(\log_3((x+4)(x-2))\). M1: Converts log equation to quadratic: \(x^2+2x-8 = 27\). A1: Solves quadratic to find \(x = 5\) and \(x = -7\). A1: Rejects \(x = -7\) and gives \(x = 5\) as the only solution. (b) M1: Simplifies index equation to \(x + 2y = 5\). M1: Simplifies log equation to \(3x - y = 8\). M1: Solves simultaneous equations using substitution or elimination. A1: Correct value \(x = 3\). A1: Correct value \(y = 1\).

(a) The sum of the first \(n\) terms of an arithmetic series is given by \(S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]\). For \(n = 10\): \(S_{10} = \frac{10}{2}(2a + 9d) = 5(2a + 9d) = 150\). Dividing by 5 gives: \(2a + 9d = 30\). (b) The 5th, 8th, and 14th terms of the arithmetic series are given by: \(u_5 = a + 4d\), \(u_8 = a + 7d\), and \(u_{14} = a + 13d\). Since these three terms form a geometric series, the common ratio is constant: \(\frac{a+7d}{a+4d} = \frac{a+13d}{a+7d}\). Multiplying out: \((a+7d)^2 = (a+4d)(a+13d)\) which expands to \(a^2 + 14ad + 49d^2 = a^2 + 17ad + 52d^2\). Simplifying this gives: \(3ad + 3d^2 = 0\), which factorizes to \(3d(a+d) = 0\). Since we are given that \(d \neq 0\), we must have: \(a+d = 0\), which leads to \(d = -a\). (c) Substitute \(d = -a\) into the equation from part (a): \(2(-d) + 9d = 30\) which simplifies to \(7d = 30\), so \(d = \frac{30}{7}\). Since \(a = -d\), we have \(a = -\frac{30}{7}\).

(a) M1: For attempting to use the sum formula of an arithmetic series with \(n=10\) and equating to 150. A1: For the simplified equation \(2a + 9d = 30\) or equivalent. (b) M1: For writing expressions for \(u_5\), \(u_8\), and \(u_{14}\) in terms of \(a\) and \(d\). M1: For setting up the geometric progression condition, e.g., \((a+7d)^2 = (a+4d)(a+13d)\). A1: For expanding and simplifying to \(3ad + 3d^2 = 0\) or equivalent. A1: For concluding \(d = -a\) with a valid reason that \(d \neq 0\). (c) M1: For substituting \(d = -a\) (or \(a = -d\)) into their equation from part (a). A1: For finding \(d = \frac{30}{7}\). A1: For finding \(a = -\frac{30}{7}\).

(a) When \(x = 3\), the \(y\)-coordinate of \(P\) is: \(y = 2(3) + \frac{9}{3} = 6 + 3 = 9\). So the coordinates of \(P\) are \((3, 9)\). We differentiate \(y = 2x + 9x^{-1}\) to find the gradient function: \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 - 9x^{-2} = 2 - \frac{9}{x^2}\). At \(x = 3\), the gradient of the tangent is: \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 - \frac{9}{3^2} = 2 - 1 = 1\). Therefore, the gradient of the normal is \(-\frac{1}{1} = -1\). The equation of the normal at \(P(3, 9)\) is: \(y - 9 = -1(x - 3)\) which simplifies to \(y - 9 = -x + 3\), leading to \(x + y - 12 = 0\). (b) To find the coordinates of \(Q\), we solve the equation of the normal and the curve simultaneously: \(y = 12 - x\) and \(y = 2x + \frac{9}{x}\). Equating the two expressions: \(12 - x = 2x + \frac{9}{x}\), which simplifies to \(3x - 12 + \frac{9}{x} = 0\). Multiplying through by \(x\) (since \(x > 0\)): \(3x^2 - 12x + 9 = 0\), which simplifies to \(x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0\). Factorizing the quadratic equation: \((x - 3)(x - 1) = 0\). Since \(x = 3\) corresponds to point \(P\), the point \(Q\) must have \(x = 1\). Substituting \(x = 1\) into the normal equation: \(y = 12 - 1 = 11\). Thus, the coordinates of \(Q\) are \((1, 11)\).

(a) B1: For finding the correct \(y\)-coordinate of \(P\) as 9. M1: For differentiating the curve equation to find \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 - \frac{9}{x^2}\). M1: For substituting \(x = 3\) into their derivative to find the tangent gradient, and calculating the normal gradient as the negative reciprocal. A1: For a correct normal gradient of \(-1\). A1: For the equation of the normal in the required form \(x + y - 12 = 0\) (or any integer multiple). (b) M1: For equating their normal equation and the curve equation to form an equation in \(x\). A1: For obtaining the simplified quadratic equation \(x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0\) or equivalent. M1: For solving the quadratic to find \(x = 1\) as the alternative solution. A1: For finding the correct coordinates of \(Q\) as \((1, 11)\).

(a) Using the compound angle formula: \(\cos 3\theta = \cos(2\theta + \theta) = \cos 2\theta \cos\theta - \sin 2\theta \sin\theta\). We substitute the double angle formulae: \(\cos 2\theta = 2\cos^2\theta - 1\) and \(\sin 2\theta = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta\). This gives: \(\cos 3\theta = (2\cos^2\theta - 1)\cos\theta - (2\sin\theta\cos\theta)\sin\theta = 2\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta - 2\sin^2\theta \cos\theta\). Using the identity \(\sin^2\theta = 1 - \cos^2\theta\): \(\cos 3\theta = 2\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta - 2(1 - \cos^2\theta)\cos\theta = 2\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta - 2\cos\theta + 2\cos^3\theta = 4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta\). (b) Substitute the identity from part (a) into the given equation: \(\cos 3\theta + 2\cos\theta = 0\) leads to \((4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta) + 2\cos\theta = 0\), which simplifies to \(4\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta = 0\). Factorizing: \(\cos\theta(4\cos^2\theta - 1) = 0\). This gives two cases: Case 1: \(\cos\theta = 0\), which gives \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\). Case 2: \(\cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{4}\), which gives \(\cos\theta = \pm\frac{1}{2}\). For \(\cos\theta = \frac{1}{2}\), \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}\). For \(\cos\theta = -\frac{1}{2}\), \(\theta = \pi - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{2\pi}{3}\). Therefore, the solutions in the interval \(0 \le \theta \le \pi\) are \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{2\pi}{3}\).

(a) M1: For applying the compound angle formula to \(\cos(2\theta + \theta)\). M1: For substituting the double angle formulae for both \(\cos 2\theta\) and \(\sin 2\theta\). M1: For substituting \(\sin^2\theta = 1 - \cos^2\theta\) to obtain an expression purely in terms of \(\cos\theta\). A1: For obtaining the final expression \(\cos 3\theta = 4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta\) with no errors in working. (b) M1: For substituting the identity from part (a) and simplifying to \(4\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta = 0\). M1: For factorizing to find \(\cos\theta = 0\) and \(\cos\theta = \pm\frac{1}{2}\). A1: For finding \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\). B1: For finding \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}\). B1: For finding \(\theta = \frac{2\pi}{3}\).

(a) Using the quotient rule with \(u = 2x - 3\) and \(v = x + 2\), we have \(\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x} = 2\) and \(\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}x} = 1\). Thus, \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{2(x + 2) - 1(2x - 3)}{(x + 2)^2} = \frac{2x + 4 - 2x + 3}{(x + 2)^2} = \frac{7}{(x + 2)^2}\). (b) The curve crosses the \(y\)-axis when \(x = 0\). Substituting \(x = 0\) into the equation of the curve gives \(y = \frac{2(0) - 3}{0 + 2} = -\frac{3}{2}\). The gradient of the tangent at \(x = 0\) is \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{7}{(0 + 2)^2} = \frac{7}{4}\). The gradient of the normal is the negative reciprocal of the tangent gradient, which is \(-\frac{4}{7}\). The equation of the normal is: \(y - \left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) = -\frac{4}{7}(x - 0) \implies y + \frac{3}{2} = -\frac{4}{7}x\). Multiplying by 14 to clear denominators: \(14y + 21 = -8x \implies 8x + 14y + 21 = 0\).

(a) M1 for applying the quotient rule correctly with at least one term correct in the numerator. A1 for correct simplified numerator of 7. A1 for correct denominator \((x+2)^2\). (b) M1 for setting \(x=0\) and finding \(y = -\frac{3}{2}\). M1 for finding the gradient of the tangent at \(x=0\), which is \(\frac{7}{4}\). M1 for using the negative reciprocal to find the gradient of the normal, \(-\frac{4}{7}\). M1 for substituting their point and normal gradient into the equation of a straight line. A1 for correct equation in the required form \(8x + 14y + 21 = 0\) (or any integer multiple).

(a) The volume \(V\) of the solid of revolution is given by \(V = \pi \int_{1}^{k} y^2 \mathrm{d}x\). Substituting \(y = \sqrt{3x + 1}\): \(V = \pi \int_{1}^{k} (3x + 1) \mathrm{d}x = \pi \left[ \frac{3}{2}x^2 + x \right]_{1}^{k}\). Evaluating at the limits: \(V = \pi \left( \left(\frac{3}{2}k^2 + k\right) - \left(\frac{3}{2}(1)^2 + 1\right) \right) = \pi \left( \frac{3}{2}k^2 + k - \frac{5}{2} \right)\). We are given \(V = 14\pi\), so: \(\pi \left( \frac{3}{2}k^2 + k - \frac{5}{2} \right) = 14\pi \implies \frac{3}{2}k^2 + k - \frac{5}{2} = 14\). Multiplying both sides by 2: \(3k^2 + 2k - 5 = 28 \implies 3k^2 + 2k - 33 = 0\) (as required). (b) Factoring the quadratic equation: \(3k^2 + 2k - 33 = 0 \implies (3k + 11)(k - 3) = 0\). This yields \(k = -\frac{11}{3}\) or \(k = 3\). Since we are given \(k > 1\), we reject the negative root, so \(k = 3\).

A1 for completing the algebra to show the given quadratic equation \(3k^2 + 2k - 33 = 0\). (b) M1 for attempting to solve the quadratic equation (by factoring or formula). A1 for finding both roots \(k = 3\) and \(k = -\frac{11}{3}\). A1 for selecting \(k = 3\) and explaining that \(k > 1\).

(a) Using the trigonometric identity \(\cos 2\theta = 1 - 2\sin^2\theta\): \(5(1 - 2\sin^2\theta) + 9\sin\theta = 7 \implies 5 - 10\sin^2\theta + 9\sin\theta = 7\). Rearranging terms to set the equation to zero: \(10\sin^2\theta - 9\sin\theta + 2 = 0\) (as required). (b) Let \(x = \sin\theta\). The quadratic equation is \(10x^2 - 9x + 2 = 0\). Factoring gives: \((2x - 1)(5x - 2) = 0 \implies x = \frac{1}{2}\) or \(x = \frac{2}{5}\). Case 1: \(\sin\theta = \frac{1}{2}\). In the interval \(0 \le \theta < 360^\circ\), the solutions are \(\theta = 30^\circ\) and \(\theta = 180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ\). Case 2: \(\sin\theta = 0.4\). In the interval \(0 \le \theta < 360^\circ\), the reference angle is \(\sin^{-1}(0.4) \approx 23.578^\circ\). The solutions are \(\theta \approx 23.6^\circ\) and \(\theta \approx 180^\circ - 23.578^\circ = 156.4^\circ\). Thus, the complete set of solutions is \(\theta = 23.6^\circ, 30^\circ, 150^\circ, 156.4^\circ\).

From the equation \(2x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0\), we have \(\alpha + \beta = \frac{5}{2}\) and \(\alpha\beta = \frac{4}{2} = 2\). (a) \(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2 - 2(2) = \frac{25}{4} - 4 = \frac{9}{4}\). (b) \(\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = (\alpha + \beta)^3 - 3\alpha\beta(\alpha + \beta) = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^3 - 3(2)\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) = \frac{125}{8} - 15 = \frac{5}{8}\). (c) For the new roots \(\frac{1}{\alpha^2}\) and \(\frac{1}{\beta^2}\): Sum of roots \(S = \frac{1}{\alpha^2} + \frac{1}{\beta^2} = \frac{\alpha^2 + \beta^2}{(\alpha\beta)^2} = \frac{9/4}{4} = \frac{9}{16}\). Product of roots \(P = \frac{1}{\alpha^2\beta^2} = \frac{1}{(\alpha\beta)^2} = \frac{1}{4}\). The quadratic equation is \(x^2 - Sx + P = 0 \implies x^2 - \frac{9}{16}x + \frac{1}{4} = 0\). Multiplying by 16 to get integer coefficients: \(16x^2 - 9x + 4 = 0\).

(a) B1 for identifying \(\alpha + \beta = \frac{5}{2}\) and \(\alpha\beta = 2\). M1 for using the identity \(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta\). A1 for \(\frac{9}{4}\).

A1 for forming the equation \(16x^2 - 9x + 4 = 0\) (must have integer coefficients and be equal to 0).

(a) The vertical asymptote occurs when the denominator is zero: \(2x + 1 = 0 \implies x = -0.5\). As \(x \to \pm\infty\), \(y \to \frac{3}{2}\), so the horizontal asymptote is \(y = 1.5\). (b) When \(x = 0\), \(y = \frac{3(0) - 5}{2(0) + 1} = -5\), so the curve crosses the \(y\)-axis at \((0, -5)\). When \(y = 0\), \(3x - 5 = 0 \implies x = \frac{5}{3}\), so the curve crosses the \(x\)-axis at \(\left(\frac{5}{3}, 0\right)\). (c) To find the points of intersection, set \(y = \frac{3x - 5}{2x + 1}\) equal to \(y = x - 2\): \(\frac{3x - 5}{2x + 1} = x - 2 \implies 3x - 5 = (x - 2)(2x + 1) \implies 3x - 5 = 2x^2 - 3x - 2\). Rearranging into standard quadratic form: \(2x^2 - 6x + 3 = 0\). Using the quadratic formula: \(x = \frac{-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4(2)(3)}}{2(2)} = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36 - 24}}{4} = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{12}}{4} = \frac{6 \pm 2\sqrt{3}}{4} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{3}}{2}\).

M1 for attempting to solve using the quadratic formula. A1 for \(x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{3}}{2}\) (or equivalent exact simplified form).

(a) The formula for the sum of the first \(n\) terms of an arithmetic series is \(S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d)\). For \(n = 5\): \(S_5 = \frac{5}{2}(2a + 4d) = 5(a + 2d) = 65 \implies a + 2d = 13\). The formula for the \(n\)-th term is \(u_n = a + (n-1)d\). For \(n = 10\): \(u_{10} = a + 9d = 41\). We now have a system of two simultaneous linear equations: 1) \(a + 2d = 13\) and 2) \(a + 9d = 41\). Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2): \(7d = 28 \implies d = 4\). Substituting \(d = 4\) into equation (1): \(a + 2(4) = 13 \implies a + 8 = 13 \implies a = 5\). (b) The sum of the first 20 terms is \(S_{20} = \frac{20}{2}(2a + 19d) = 10(2(5) + 19(4)) = 10(10 + 76) = 10(86) = 860\).

(a) M1 for using the sum formula with \(n=5\) to write \(5(a+2d)=65\) or equivalent. M1 for using the term formula with \(n=10\) to write \(a+9d=41\). M1 for attempting to solve the simultaneous equations to eliminate one variable. A1 for \(d = 4\). A1 for \(a = 5\). (b) M1 for using the sum formula with \(n=20\), using their values of \(a\) and \(d\). A1 for correct substitution. A1 for calculating \(S_{20} = 860\).

(a) Since \(OP : PA = 2 : 1\), \(\overrightarrow{OP} = \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a}\). Since \(Q\) is the midpoint of \(OB\), \(\overrightarrow{OQ} = \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{b}\). Thus: \(\overrightarrow{AQ} = \overrightarrow{AO} + \overrightarrow{OQ} = -\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{b}\). \(\overrightarrow{BP} = \overrightarrow{BO} + \overrightarrow{OP} = \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b}\). (b) Expressing \(\overrightarrow{OX}\) in two different ways: Method 1: \(\overrightarrow{OX} = \overrightarrow{OA} + \overrightarrow{AX} = \mathbf{a} + \lambda \overrightarrow{AQ} = \mathbf{a} + \lambda\left(-\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{b}\right) = (1 - \lambda)\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\lambda \mathbf{b}\). Method 2: \(\overrightarrow{OX} = \overrightarrow{OB} + \overrightarrow{BX} = \mathbf{b} + \mu \overrightarrow{BP} = \mathbf{b} + \mu\left(\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b}\right) = \frac{2}{3}\mu \mathbf{a} + (1 - \mu)\mathbf{b}\). Since \(a\) and \(b\) are non-parallel vectors, we equate the coefficients of \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\): 1) \(1 - \lambda = \frac{2}{3}\mu \implies 3\lambda + 2\mu = 3\). 2) \(\frac{1}{2}\lambda = 1 - \mu \implies \lambda + 2\mu = 2\). Subtracting (2) from (1): \(2\lambda = 1 \implies \lambda = \frac{1}{2}\). Substituting \(\lambda = \frac{1}{2}\) into (2): \(\frac{1}{2} + 2\mu = 2 \implies 2\mu = \frac{3}{2} \implies \mu = \frac{3}{4}\). (c) Since \(\overrightarrow{AX} = \frac{1}{2}\overrightarrow{AQ}\), the point \(X\) is the midpoint of the line segment \(AQ\). Therefore, the ratio \(AX : XQ = 1 : 1\).

(a) B1 for \(\overrightarrow{AQ} = -\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{b}\). B1 for \(\overrightarrow{BP} = \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} - \mathbf{b}\). (b) M1 for finding an expression for \(\overrightarrow{OX}\) using \(\lambda\) or \(\mu\). M1 for finding a second expression for \(\overrightarrow{OX}\) using the other parameter. M1 for equating coefficients of \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) to obtain two equations. A1 for \(\lambda = \frac{1}{2}\). A1 for \(\mu = \frac{3}{4}\). (c) B1 for stating the ratio \(1 : 1\) (or equivalent).

(a) Let \(u = 3^x\). Then \(3^{2x+1} = 3 \cdot (3^x)^2 = 3u^2\). The equation becomes: \(3u^2 - 10u + 3 = 0\). Factoring this quadratic equation: \((3u - 1)(u - 3) = 0 \implies u = \frac{1}{3} \text{or} u = 3\). If \(u = \frac{1}{3}\), then \(3^x = 3^{-1} \implies x = -1\). If \(u = 3\), then \(3^x = 3^1 \implies x = 1\). So the solutions are \(x = 1\) or \(x = -1\). (b) From the first equation: \(\log_2 y - \log_2 x = 3 \implies \log_2\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = 3 \implies \frac{y}{x} = 2^3 = 8 \implies y = 8x\). From the second equation: \(2^y = 16^{x+1} \implies 2^y = (2^4)^{x+1} = 2^{4x+4} \implies y = 4x + 4\). Equating the two expressions for \(y\): \(8x = 4x + 4 \implies 4x = 4 \implies x = 1\). Substituting \(x = 1\) back to find \(y\): \(y = 8(1) = 8\). Since both \(x=1\) and \(y=8\) are positive, they are valid within the domains of the log functions.

M1 for equating \(3^x\) to their values of \(u\) and attempting to solve for \(x\). A1 for \(x = 1\) and \(x = -1\). (b) M1 for using log division rule to get \(\log_2(y/x) = 3\) and then \(y = 8x\). M1 for expressing \(16^{x+1}\) as a power of 2 and equating indices to get \(y = 4x + 4\). M1 for solving the simultaneous equations. A1 for \(x = 1, y = 8\).

(a) Using the compound angle formula for cosine:
\(\cos 3\theta = \cos(2\theta + \theta) = \cos 2\theta \cos \theta - \sin 2\theta \sin \theta\)

Substitute the double angle formulas \(\cos 2\theta = 2\cos^2\theta - 1\) and \(\sin 2\theta = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta\):
\(\cos(2\theta + \theta) = (2\cos^2\theta - 1)\cos\theta - (2\sin\theta\cos\theta)\sin\theta\)
\(\cos 3\theta = 2\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta - 2\sin^2\theta\cos\theta\)

Substitute \(\sin^2\theta = 1 - \cos^2\theta\):
\(\cos 3\theta = 2\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta - 2(1 - \cos^2\theta)\cos\theta\)
\(\cos 3\theta = 2\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta - 2\cos\theta + 2\cos^3\theta\)

\(\cos 3\theta = 4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta\) (as required).

(b) The given equation is \(8\cos^3\theta - 6\cos\theta = 1\).
Factor out 2 on the left-hand side:
\(2(4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta) = 1\)

Using the identity from part (a):
\(2\cos 3\theta = 1 \implies \cos 3\theta = \frac{1}{2}\)

Given \(0^\circ \le \theta \le 180^\circ\), the range for \(3\theta\) is:
\(0^\circ \le 3\theta \le 540^\circ\)

Solving \(\cos 3\theta = \frac{1}{2}\) in this interval:
\(3\theta = 60^\circ, 300^\circ, 420^\circ\)

Dividing by 3:
\(\theta = 20^\circ, 100^\circ, 140^\circ\)

Part (a) [4 marks]:

- M1: For using \(\sin^2\theta = 1 - \cos^2\theta\) to write the expression entirely in terms of \(\cos\theta\).

- M1: For identifying that the left hand side of the equation can be written as \(2\cos 3\theta\).
- A1: For obtaining \(\cos 3\theta = \frac{1}{2}\).

- A1: For at least two correct values of \(\theta\).
- A1: For all three correct solutions \(\theta = 20^\circ, 100^\circ, 140^\circ\) and no extras in the range.

(a) To find the stationary point, we differentiate \(y = \sqrt{x} e^{-x} = x^{1/2} e^{-x}\) using the product rule:
\(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2}x^{-1/2} e^{-x} - x^{1/2} e^{-x} = e^{-x}\left(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} - \sqrt{x}\right)\)

At the stationary point, \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\):
\(e^{-x}\left(\frac{1 - 2x}{2\sqrt{x}}\right) = 0\)

Since \(e^{-x} \ne 0\) and \(x > 0\) for the derivative to be defined, we must have:
\(1 - 2x = 0 \implies x = \frac{1}{2}\)

Substitute \(x = \frac{1}{2}\) back into the curve equation to find the \(y\)-coordinate:
\(y = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} e^{-1/2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{e}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2e}}\)

So the stationary point coordinates are \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2e}}\right)\).

(b) The volume \(V\) of the solid generated by rotating the region about the \(x\)-axis is given by:
\(V = \pi \int_{0}^{\ln 2} y^2 \, dx\)

Substitute \(y^2 = x e^{-2x}\):
\(V = \pi \int_{0}^{\ln 2} x e^{-2x} \, dx\)

Using integration by parts on \(\int x e^{-2x} \, dx\):
Let \(u = x\) and \(dv = e^{-2x} \, dx\)
Then \(du = dx\) and \(v = -\frac{1}{2}e^{-2x}\)

\(\int x e^{-2x} \, dx = -\frac{1}{2}x e^{-2x} - \int -\frac{1}{2} e^{-2x} \, dx = -\frac{1}{2}x e^{-2x} - \frac{1}{4} e^{-2x}\)

Now evaluate the definite integral from \(0\) to \(\ln 2\):
At the upper limit \(x = \ln 2\):
\(\left[-\frac{1}{2}(\ln 2) e^{-2\ln 2} - \frac{1}{4} e^{-2\ln 2}\right] = -\frac{1}{2}(\ln 2)\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) - \frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) = -\frac{1}{8}\ln 2 - \frac{1}{16}\)

At the lower limit \(x = 0\):
\(\left[0 - \frac{1}{4} e^0\right] = -\frac{1}{4}\)

Subtracting the lower limit from the upper limit:
\(V = \pi \left[\left(-\frac{1}{8}\ln 2 - \frac{1}{16}\right) - \left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)\right]\)
\(V = \pi \left(\frac{3}{16} - \frac{1}{8}\ln 2\right)\)

Here \(a = \frac{3}{16}\) and \(b = \frac{1}{8}\).

(a) For the equation \(2x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0\):
\(\alpha + \beta = \frac{5}{2}\)
\(\alpha\beta = \frac{4}{2} = 2\)

First, calculate \(\alpha^2 + \beta^2\):
\(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2 - 2(2) = \frac{25}{4} - 4 = \frac{9}{4}\) (as required).

Next, calculate \(\alpha^3 + \beta^3\):
\(\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = (\alpha + \beta)(\alpha^2 - \alpha\beta + \beta^2) = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)\left(\frac{9}{4} - 2\right) = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) = \frac{5}{8}\).

(b) Let the roots of the new quadratic equation be \(\gamma = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2}\) and \(\delta = \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2}\).

The sum of the roots \(S\) is:
\(S = \gamma + \delta = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} + \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2} = \frac{\alpha^3 + \beta^3}{\alpha^2\beta^2}\)

Since \(\alpha^2\beta^2 = (\alpha\beta)^2 = 2^2 = 4\):
\(S = \frac{5/8}{4} = \frac{5}{32}\)

The product of the roots \(P\) is:
\(P = \gamma\delta = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} \times \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2} = \frac{\alpha\beta}{\alpha^2\beta^2} = \frac{1}{\alpha\beta} = \frac{1}{2}\)

The quadratic equation with roots \(\gamma\) and \(\delta\) is given by:
\(x^2 - Sx + P = 0\)
\(x^2 - \frac{5}{32}x + \frac{1}{2} = 0\)

Multiply the entire equation by 32 to get integer coefficients:
\(32x^2 - 5x + 16 = 0\)
