Section A: Pure Mathematics

Question 1 (a) $10 = 3e^{2x} - 5 \rightarrow 15 = 3e^{2x} \rightarrow e^{2x} = 5 \rightarrow 2x = \ln 5 \rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2}\ln 5$ . (b) $y' = \frac{2}{2x+1}$ . At $x=0, m = 2$ . Point is $(0, \ln 1) = (0, 0)$ . Equation: $y = 2x$ . (c) $(x-6)(x+2) < 0 \rightarrow -2 < x < 6$ .

Question 2 (a) $y' = 2xe^{-x} - x^2e^{-x} = xe^{-x}(2-x)$ . Set $y'=0 \rightarrow x=0, x=2$ . Stationary points: $(0, 0)$ and $(2, 4e^{-2})$ . (b) $y'' = (2-2x)e^{-x} - (2x-x^2)e^{-x} = (x^2-4x+2)e^{-x}$ . At $x=2, y'' = (4-8+2)e^{-2} = -2e^{-2} < 0$ . Maximum. (c) $\int_0^1 2e^{3x} dx = [\frac{2}{3}e^{3x}]_0^1 = \frac{2}{3}(e^3 - 1) \approx 12.7$ .

Question 3 (a) $A=200$ . $800 = 200e^{5k} \rightarrow 4 = e^{5k} \rightarrow k = \frac{\ln 4}{5} \approx 0.277$ . (b) $5000 = 200e^{0.277t} \rightarrow 25 = e^{0.277t} \rightarrow t = \frac{\ln 25}{0.277} \approx 11.6$ hours. (c) $\Delta < 0 \rightarrow k^2 - 4(k+3) < 0 \rightarrow k^2 - 4k - 12 < 0 \rightarrow (k-6)(k+2) < 0 \rightarrow -2 < k < 6$ .

Question 4 (a) $y' = \frac{4(x^2+1) - 4x(2x)}{(x^2+1)^2} = \frac{4 - 4x^2}{(x^2+1)^2}$ . (b) Let width be $x$ , length be $100-2x$ . Area $A = x(100-2x) = 100x - 2x^2$ . $A' = 100 - 4x = 0 \rightarrow x=25$ . Dimensions: $25\text{m} \times 50\text{m}$ . (c) $[x^3 - \ln x]_1^2 = (8 - \ln 2) - (1 - 0) = 7 - \ln 2 \approx 6.307$ .

Question 5 (a) $\frac{5x-1}{(x-1)(x+2)} = \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{B}{x+2}$ . $A(x+2) + B(x-1) = 5x-1$ . $x=1 \rightarrow 3A=4 \rightarrow A=4/3$ . $x=-2 \rightarrow -3B=-11 \rightarrow B=11/3$ . (b) $\int (\frac{4/3}{x-1} + \frac{11/3}{x+2}) dx = \frac{4}{3}\ln|x-1| + \frac{11}{3}\ln|x+2| + C$ . (c) $y' = \ln x + x(1/x) = \ln x + 1$ . Set $y'=0 \rightarrow \ln x = -1 \rightarrow x = e^{-1}$ .

Question 6 (a) $\bar{x} = \frac{120+150+110+180+140+160}{6} = 143.3$ . (b) $s^2 = \frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n-1} = \frac{533.3+44.4+1111.1+1344.4+11.1+277.8}{5} = \frac{3322}{5} = 664.4$ . (c) Assign each resident a number 1-2000. Use a random number generator to pick 50 unique numbers.

Question 7 (a) $P(X=10) = ^{15}C_{10}(0.7)^{10}(0.3)^5 \approx 0.206$ . (b) $P(X \geq 12) = P(12)+P(13)+P(14)+P(15) \approx 0.297$ . (c) $E(X) = 15(0.7) = 10.5$ . $\text{Var}(X) = 15(0.7)(0.3) = 3.15$ .

Question 8 (a) $P(X < 140) = 0.15 \rightarrow z = -1.036 \rightarrow 140 = \mu - 1.036\sigma$ . $P(X > 180) = 0.10 \rightarrow z = 1.282 \rightarrow 180 = \mu + 1.282\sigma$ . Subtracting: $40 = 2.318\sigma \rightarrow \sigma \approx 17.25$ . $\mu = 140 + 1.036(17.25) \approx 157.9$ . (b) $P(150 < X < 170) = P(\frac{150-157.9}{17.25} < Z < \frac{170-157.9}{17.25}) = P(-0.458 < Z < 0.702) \approx 0.41$ .

Question 9 (a) $E = 2(40) + 3(60) = 80 + 180 = 260$ . $\text{Var} = 2^2(25) + 3^2(36) = 100 + 324 = 424$ . (b) $P(W > 260)$ where $W \sim N(260, 424)$ . $z = \frac{260-260}{\sqrt{424}} = 0$ . $P(Z > 0) = 0.5$ .

(b) $P(-1.96 < Z < 1.96) = 0.95$ . $1.96 = \frac{5}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} = \frac{5}{20/\sqrt{n}} = \frac{5\sqrt{n}}{20} = \frac{\sqrt{n}}{4}$ . $\sqrt{n} = 7.84 \rightarrow n \approx 61.46 \rightarrow n = 62$ .

Question 11 (a) $H_0: \mu = 1200, H_1: \mu < 1200$ . (b) $z = \frac{1160 - 1200}{100/\sqrt{40}} = \frac{-40}{15.81} = -2.53$ . Critical value for 5% (one-tail) is $-1.645$ . Since $-2.53 < -1.645$ , reject $H_0$ . Lifespan is significantly shorter.

Question 12 (a) [Scatter plot showing strong positive linear trend]. (b) $\bar{x} = 6, \bar{y} = 68$ . $m = \frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})(y-\bar{y})}{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2} = \frac{240}{40} = 6$ . $c = 68 - 6(6) = 32$ . $y = 6x + 32$ . (c) $r \approx 0.99$ . Very strong positive linear correlation. (d) $y = 6(7) + 32 = 74$ . Interpolation.

Question 14 (a) $P(W > 10) = 0.3 \rightarrow z = 0.524 \rightarrow 10 = \mu + 0.524\sigma$ . $P(W < 5) = 0.1 \rightarrow z = -1.282 \rightarrow 5 = \mu - 1.282\sigma$ . Subtracting: $5 = 1.806\sigma \rightarrow \sigma \approx 2.77$ . $\mu = 5 + 1.282(2.77) \approx 8.55$ . (b) $P(\frac{7-8.55}{2.77} < Z < \frac{12-8.55}{2.77}) = P(-0.56 < Z < 1.24) \approx 0.68$ .
