Advice to Candidates
You must ensure that your answers to parts of questions are clearly labelled.
You must show sufficient working to make your methods clear to the Examiner. Answers
without working may gain no credit.

1. Solve the following equation, for 0 ≤ x ≤ π, giving your answers in terms of π.
Find the values of t at the points where the normal to C at (14, 1) cuts C again.

4. Find the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve with equation
x3 + y3 – 3xy = 48

Both C1 and C2 are symmetric about the line x = 0 and they both pass through the
points (3, 0) and (−3, 0).

7. A student was attempting to prove that x = 2
is the only real root of
x3 + 3

= 0.
x3 + 3

i.e. x2 = − 14 no solution
(c) Find and simplify an expression for β in terms of α and prove that α is the only real
root provided |α| < 2.
(6)
An examiner chooses a positive number α so that α is the only real root of equation (I)
but the incorrect method used by the student produces 3 distinct real “roots”.
