1. Differentiate loge (1 + x)e– 2x
1–x
4. Given that Z1 = 3 + i and Z2 = a + i and arg (Z1,Z2) = /4 Find the value of
a.
5. Using the substitution y = XZ, or otherwise, show that the solution of the
equation
2dy = y + y2 is given by (y – x )2 = C, where C is a constant.
dx x x2 xy2
6. (a) How many different selections, taking any number of letters at a time,
can be made from the letters of the word PARALLELOGRAM?
(b) A group consists of 5 boys and 7 girls. In how many ways can a team
of seven be selected if it is to contain at least 3 boys?
9. (a) Prove that if f(x) has a repeated factor (x – a), then (x – a ) is also a
factor of
f 1(x)
(b) Given that p(x) = 8x3 – 12x2 – 18x + K, find the values of K such that
the
equation p(x) = 0 has a repeated root.
(ii) x tan – 1 x
2
(b) Evaluate ∫ x5 dx
o

The temperature of the body falls 5oC in the first minute and 4oC in the
second minute. Show that the fall of temperature in the third minute is
3.2oC.
13. Obtain the equation of the normal at P (at2, at) on y2 = 4ax. Prove that this
normal meets the parabola again at a point Q whose parameter is – t – 2/t.
Find the coordinates of the midpoint M of PQ and show that the locus of
M is y4 + 2a(2a – x) y2 + 8a2 = 0
the curve does not exist, stating clearly any maximum or minimum points.
Hence sketch the curve.
15. (a) Given that Z (5 + 5i ) = p(1 + 3i ) + q(2 – i ) where p and q are real and
that arg Z = /2 , Z= 7, Find the values of p and q
16. (a) Find the equation of the line through the intersection of the lines
3x – 4y + 6 = 0 and 5x + y + 13 = 0 which
(i) passes through the point (2,4)
(ii) makes an angle of 60o with the x – axis.
