1. (i) Use partial fractions to nd the integral (x+1)(x+2) dx.
2
(ii) Use the substitution x = 2 u to show that sin x
0 sin x+cos x
dx = 2
0
cos x
sin x+cos x dx
and hence determine their value.
x +e 2x
(iii) Find the integral e1+e 2x dx.
(iv) Find 04 x sec2 x dx.
a b
3. (i) The complex numbers z1 = 1+i and z2 = 1+2i where a and b are real, are
such that z1 + z2 = 1. Find the values of a and b.
(ii) The complex number z has modulus r and argument where 0 < < 2. Find
in terms of r and the modulus and argument of:
(a) z 2 ;
(b) z1 ;
(c) iz.
(iii) If z1 = 3 + 4i and |z2 | = 13 nd the greatest value of |z1 + z2 |. If |z1 + z2 | has
its greatest value and also 0 < arg z2 < 2 express z2 in the form a + ib where a and
b are real.
(iv) If z = x + iy, where x and y are real, nd and sketch the locus of the set of
points P (x, y) such that (z z1 ) = 0.
5. (i)
P (2ap, ap2 ), where 0 < p < 1, is a point on the parabola x2 = 4ay with focus S. The
normal to the parabola at P meets the y-axis at N . M P is parallel to the axis of
the parabola. The tangent to the parabola at P meets the x-axis at T . SP N = .
Assuming the standard property of the parabola that N P bisects SP M , show
geometrically that tan = p.
(ii) A smooth bowl has the same shape as a paraboloid shell formed by rotating
around the y-axis the curve x = 2p, y = p2 , where 0 p 1. P, S, N and M are as
dened in part (i) above.

6. (i) If z = cos + i sin show that z n = zn = 2 cos n and hence show that
cos4 = 18 (cos 4 + 4 cos 2 + 3).
(ii)
The solid shown sits on a semi-circular base of radius 2 units. Vertical cross sections
perpendicular to the diameter of the semi-circle are right angled triangles, the height
of the the triangles being bounded by the parabola y = 4 x2 as shown. By slicing
at right angles to the x-axis
2 as indicated in the diagram, show that the volume of
2 32
the solid isgiven by V = 0 (4 x ) dx. Hence calculate the volume of the solid.
