touch at a point where x = 1, and find the coordinates of any other common point.
Sketch the two graphs on the same axes and calculate the area of the region bounded
by the graphs.
2. (a) Differentiate

3. (a) Given that y = tan2 x + b ln(cosx), show that y has no stationary value in the range
0 < x < π/2, unless b > 2. If b = 8, show that the stationary value is a minimum.
(b) Find the minimum value and the maximum value of the function f , defined for all
real x, by

f (x) = (2x + 1)e−x .
Sketch the graph of f , showing all its important features (i.e. intersection with axes,
coordinates of stationary points, asymptotes, etc.)

(b) A farmer wishes to enclose two adjacent fields, each the shape of a trapezium ADF E
and EF CD respectively where the parallel sides AD = x, EF = 2x and BC = 3x.
Also, DF = F C = l. The side AB is along a bank of a stream and requires no fencing.
The farmer has 600 m of fencing material available for the remaining sides (including
EF ).
