Section A

1. $f(x) = 2(x^2 - 4x) + 5$
$= 2[(x-2)^2 - 4] + 5$
$= 2(x-2)^2 - 8 + 5$
$= 2(x-2)^2 - 3$
Minimum value is $-3$.
[M1 for completing square, M1 for correct form, A1 for min value]

2. For no real roots, discriminant $\Delta < 0$.
$\Delta = k^2 - 4(3)(12) = k^2 - 144$
$k^2 - 144 < 0$
$k^2 < 144$
$-12 < k < 12$
[M1 for setting up discriminant, M1 for inequality, A1 for range]

3. Critical values: $x=2, x=-3$.
Test intervals:
$x < -3$: $\frac{-}{-} = +$ (False)
$-3 < x < 2$: $\frac{-}{+} = -$ (True)
$x > 2$: $\frac{+}{+} = +$ (False)
At $x=2$, expression is 0 (True). At $x=-3$, undefined.
Solution: $-3 < x \le 2$
Number line: Open circle at -3, closed circle at 2, shaded between.
[M1 for critical values, M1 for testing/sign analysis, A1 for correct interval]

4. Sum of roots $\alpha + \beta = 5$, Product $\alpha\beta = 2$.
New roots: $\alpha^2, \beta^2$.
Sum $= \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha+\beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta = 5^2 - 2(2) = 25 - 4 = 21$.
Product $= \alpha^2\beta^2 = (\alpha\beta)^2 = 2^2 = 4$.
Equation: $x^2 - (\text{sum})x + (\text{product}) = 0$
$x^2 - 21x + 4 = 0$
[M1 for sum/product of original, M1 for new sum, M1 for new product, A1 for equation]

5. $\frac{3(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2})}{5-2} + \frac{2(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2})}{5-2}$
$= \frac{3\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{5} - 2\sqrt{2}}{3}$
$= \frac{5\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2}}{3}$
$= \frac{5}{3}\sqrt{5} + \frac{1}{3}\sqrt{2}$
(Note: Question asked for integers $a,b$ in form $a\sqrt{5}+b\sqrt{2}$, but rational denominator is standard. If strict integer form required, question implies rationalizing denominator results in integers only if denominator divides numerator. Here it doesn't. Accept $\frac{5\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2}}{3}$ or clarify $a,b$ can be fractions. Let's assume standard simplification.)
Correction: The question asks for form $a\sqrt{5} + b\sqrt{2}$.
Answer: $\frac{5}{3}\sqrt{5} + \frac{1}{3}\sqrt{2}$
[M1 for rationalizing first term, M1 for rationalizing second, M1 for combining, A1 for final answer]

6. $P(1) = 2(1)^3 - (1)^2 + a(1) + b = 10 \Rightarrow 1 + a + b = 10 \Rightarrow a + b = 9$ (Eq 1)
$P(-1) = 2(-1)^3 - (-1)^2 + a(-1) + b = -4 \Rightarrow -2 - 1 - a + b = -4 \Rightarrow -a + b = -1$ (Eq 2)
Adding Eq 1 and Eq 2: $2b = 8 \Rightarrow b = 4$.
Substituting into Eq 1: $a + 4 = 9 \Rightarrow a = 5$.
$a = 5, b = 4$
[M1 for P(1) eq, M1 for P(-1) eq, M1 for solving, A1 for both values]

7. General term of $(1-2x)^6$ is $\binom{6}{r}(1)^{6-r}(-2x)^r$.
For $x^3$, $r=3$.
Coeff $= \binom{6}{3}(-2)^3 = 20 \times (-8) = -160$.
$-160$
[M1 for general term/combination, M1 for substitution, A1 for answer]

8. Let $u = 3^x$. Equation becomes $u^2 - 10u + 9 = 0$.
$(u-9)(u-1) = 0$.
$u = 9$ or $u = 1$.
$3^x = 9 \Rightarrow x = 2$.
$3^x = 1 \Rightarrow x = 0$.
$x = 0, x = 2$
[M1 for substitution, M1 for solving quadratic, M1 for solving for x, A1 for both answers]

9. $\frac{5x^2 + 7x + 2}{(x+1)(x+2)^2} = \frac{A}{x+1} + \frac{B}{x+2} + \frac{C}{(x+2)^2}$
$5x^2 + 7x + 2 = A(x+2)^2 + B(x+1)(x+2) + C(x+1)$
Set $x = -1$: $5-7+2 = A(1)^2 \Rightarrow 0 = A$.
Set $x = -2$: $20-14+2 = C(-1) \Rightarrow 8 = -C \Rightarrow C = -8$.
Coeff of $x^2$: $5 = A + B \Rightarrow 5 = 0 + B \Rightarrow B = 5$.
Answer: $\frac{5}{x+2} - \frac{8}{(x+2)^2}$
[M1 for form, M1 for finding one constant, M1 for finding others, M1 for B, A1 for final expression]

10. $\log_2 x + \log_2 (x-2) = 3$
$\log_2 (x(x-2)) = 3$
$x(x-2) = 2^3 = 8$
$x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0$
$(x-4)(x+2) = 0$
$x = 4$ or $x = -2$.
Since $\log_2(-2)$ is undefined, reject $x = -2$.
$x = 4$
[M1 for log law, M1 for exponential form, M1 for solving quadratic, A1 for valid root]

Section B

11. (a) Intersection: $x^2 - 4x + 7 = mx - 1$
$x^2 - 4x - mx + 7 + 1 = 0$
$x^2 - (4+m)x + 8 = 0$ (Shown)
[M1 for equating, M1 for rearranging]

(b) No intersection $\Rightarrow$ No real roots $\Rightarrow \Delta < 0$.
$\Delta = [-(4+m)]^2 - 4(1)(8) < 0$
$(4+m)^2 - 32 < 0$
$(4+m)^2 < 32$
$-\sqrt{32} < 4+m < \sqrt{32}$
$-4\sqrt{2} - 4 < m < 4\sqrt{2} - 4$
$-4 - 4\sqrt{2} < m < -4 + 4\sqrt{2}$
[M1 for discriminant condition, M1 for inequality setup, A1 for range]

12. (a) LHS $= \frac{\sin \theta}{1 - \cos \theta} \times \frac{1 + \cos \theta}{1 + \cos \theta}$
$= \frac{\sin \theta (1 + \cos \theta)}{1 - \cos^2 \theta}$
$= \frac{\sin \theta (1 + \cos \theta)}{\sin^2 \theta}$
$= \frac{1 + \cos \theta}{\sin \theta}$
$= \frac{1}{\sin \theta} + \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}$
$= \csc \theta + \cot \theta =$ RHS (Shown)
[M1 for multiplying conjugate, M1 for identity sub, M1 for splitting fraction]

(b) $\csc \theta + \cot \theta = 2$
$\frac{1}{\sin \theta} + \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} = 2$
$1 + \cos \theta = 2 \sin \theta$
Square both sides (check for extraneous roots later) or use $t$-formula/harmonic.
Alternatively: $1 + \cos \theta = 2 \sin \theta$.
Using half-angle or substitution: Let's test standard angles.
If $\theta = 90^\circ$: $1+0 = 2(1)$? No ($1 \ne 2$).
If $\theta = 53.1^\circ$?
Let's solve algebraically: $1 + \cos \theta = 2\sqrt{1-\cos^2 \theta}$.
$(1+\cos \theta)^2 = 4(1-\cos^2 \theta) = 4(1-\cos \theta)(1+\cos \theta)$.
If $1+\cos \theta \ne 0$, divide by $(1+\cos \theta)$:
$1 + \cos \theta = 4(1 - \cos \theta)$
$1 + \cos \theta = 4 - 4\cos \theta$
$5\cos \theta = 3 \Rightarrow \cos \theta = 0.6$.
$\sin \theta = \sqrt{1-0.36} = 0.8$ (since sin must be positive for LHS to be positive 2? Check: $\csc+\cot = 1/0.8 + 0.6/0.8 = 1.25 + 0.75 = 2$. Yes.)
$\theta = \cos^{-1}(0.6) \approx 53.1^\circ$.
Also check quadrant 4? $\cos \theta = 0.6, \sin \theta = -0.8$. $\csc+\cot = -1.25 - 0.75 = -2 \ne 2$.
So only $53.1^\circ$.
[M1 for setting up eq, M1 for solving, A1 for answer]

13. (a) $y = Ax^b \Rightarrow \lg y = \lg(Ax^b) = \lg A + b \lg x$.
This is of the form $Y = mX + c$ where $Y=\lg y, X=\lg x, m=b, c=\lg A$.
Thus, a straight line graph is obtained.
[M1 for log laws, M1 for identifying linear form]

(b) Gradient $b = \frac{1.4 - 0.6}{2 - 0} = \frac{0.8}{2} = 0.4$.
Intercept $c = 0.6$.
$\lg A = 0.6 \Rightarrow A = 10^{0.6} \approx 3.98$.
$A = 10^{0.6}$ (or 3.98), $b = 0.4$
[M1 for gradient, M1 for intercept, A1 for A, A1 for b]

14. (a) $(x-3)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 25$
[A1]

(b) Distance from centre $(3, -2)$ to line $x - y + k = 0$ equals radius $5$.
$\frac{|1(3) - 1(-2) + k|}{\sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2}} = 5$
$\frac{|5 + k|}{\sqrt{2}} = 5$
$|5 + k| = 5\sqrt{2}$
$5 + k = 5\sqrt{2}$ or $5 + k = -5\sqrt{2}$
$k = -5 + 5\sqrt{2}$ or $k = -5 - 5\sqrt{2}$.
$k = 5(\sqrt{2}-1)$ or $k = -5(1+\sqrt{2})$
[M1 for distance formula, M1 for setting up eq, M1 for absolute value cases, A1 for both values]

15. (a) $y = x^2 e^{3x}$. Product rule: $u=x^2, v=e^{3x}$.
$u'=2x, v'=3e^{3x}$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x e^{3x} + x^2 (3e^{3x}) = e^{3x}(2x + 3x^2)$.
$e^{3x}(3x^2 + 2x)$
[M1 for product rule, M1 for derivatives, A1 for simplified answer]

(b) Notice integrand $x(2+3x)e^{3x} = (2x + 3x^2)e^{3x}$.
This is exactly $\frac{dy}{dx}$ from part (a).
$\int x(2+3x)e^{3x} \, dx = x^2 e^{3x} + C$.
$x^2 e^{3x} + C$
[M1 for recognizing reverse differentiation, A1 for answer with C]

16. (a) $y = \frac{2x+1}{x-3}$.
$y(x-3) = 2x+1$
$xy - 3y = 2x + 1$
$xy - 2x = 3y + 1$
$x(y-2) = 3y + 1$
$x = \frac{3y+1}{y-2}$.
$f^{-1}(x) = \frac{3x+1}{x-2}$.
Domain of $f^{-1}$ is Range of $f$. As $x \to \infty, y \to 2$. So $y \ne 2$.
Domain: $x \in \mathbb{R}, x \ne 2$.
[M1 for rearranging, M1 for isolating x, M1 for inverse function, A1 for domain]

(b) $f(f(x)) = x$.
For self-inverse functions or specific symmetries, $f(x) = x$ is a solution?
$\frac{2x+1}{x-3} = x \Rightarrow 2x+1 = x^2-3x \Rightarrow x^2-5x-1=0$.
$x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{29}}{2}$.
Are there other solutions? $f(f(x)) = x$ usually implies $f(x) = f^{-1}(x)$.
$\frac{2x+1}{x-3} = \frac{3x+1}{x-2}$.
$(2x+1)(x-2) = (3x+1)(x-3)$.
$2x^2 - 4x + x - 2 = 3x^2 - 9x + x - 3$.
$2x^2 - 3x - 2 = 3x^2 - 8x - 3$.
$x^2 - 5x - 1 = 0$.
Same equation.
$x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{29}}{2}$
[M1 for setting up equation, M1 for quadratic, A1 for solutions]

17. Curve $y = x(x^2-4) = x(x-2)(x+2)$. Roots at $0, 2, -2$.
In interval $[0, 2]$, test $x=1 \Rightarrow y = 1-4 = -3$. Curve is below x-axis.
Area $= \int_0^2 |x^3 - 4x| \, dx = -\int_0^2 (x^3 - 4x) \, dx$.
$\int (x^3 - 4x) dx = [\frac{x^4}{4} - 2x^2]_0^2$.
At $x=2$: $\frac{16}{4} - 2(4) = 4 - 8 = -4$.
At $x=0$: $0$.
Integral value $= -4$.
Area $= |-4| = 4$.
$4$ square units

18. $s = t^3 - 6t^2 + 9t + 4$.
$v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 3t^2 - 12t + 9$.
$a = \frac{dv}{dt} = 6t - 12$.

(a) $v(1) = 3(1) - 12(1) + 9 = 0$ m/s.
$0$ m/s

$-6$ m/s²
[M1 for differentiation, A1 for value]

(c) Total distance. Check for change in direction ($v=0$).
$3t^2 - 12t + 9 = 0 \Rightarrow t^2 - 4t + 3 = 0 \Rightarrow (t-1)(t-3)=0$.
Stops at $t=1$ and $t=3$.
Intervals: $0 \to 1$, $1 \to 3$, $3 \to 4$.
$s(0) = 4$.
$s(1) = 1 - 6 + 9 + 4 = 8$. Dist $= |8-4| = 4$.
$s(3) = 27 - 54 + 27 + 4 = 4$. Dist $= |4-8| = 4$.
$s(4) = 64 - 96 + 36 + 4 = 8$. Dist $= |8-4| = 4$.
Total Distance $= 4 + 4 + 4 = 12$ m.
$12$ m

19. (a) Max $= 5$, Min $= -1$.
Amplitude $a = \frac{5 - (-1)}{2} = 3$.
Vertical shift $c = \frac{5 + (-1)}{2} = 2$.
Period $= \pi \Rightarrow \frac{2\pi}{b} = \pi \Rightarrow b = 2$.
Graph starts at max? $y = a \cos(bx) + c$. At $x=0, y=5$. $\cos(0)=1 \Rightarrow 3(1)+2=5$. Matches.
$a=3, b=2, c=2$
[M1 for a, M1 for c, M1 for b, A1 for all]

(b) Equation: $3 \cos(2x) + 2 = 2 \Rightarrow 3 \cos(2x) = 0 \Rightarrow \cos(2x) = 0$.
Range $0 \le x \le 2\pi \Rightarrow 0 \le 2x \le 4\pi$.
Solutions for $2x$: $\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}, \frac{5\pi}{2}, \frac{7\pi}{2}$.
4 solutions.
$4$
[M1 for setting up eq, M1 for counting solutions]

20. (a) $\tan(A+B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B}$.
$= \frac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}}{1 - \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{3})} = \frac{\frac{5}{6}}{1 - \frac{1}{6}} = \frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{5}{6}} = 1$.
$1$
[M1 for formula, M1 for substitution/calc]

(b) Since $\tan(A+B) = 1$ and $A, B$ are acute, $0 < A+B < 180^\circ$.
The angle with tangent 1 is $45^\circ$ (or $225^\circ$, etc.).
Since $A,B$ acute, sum is likely small. $\tan A < 1, \tan B < 1 \Rightarrow A,B < 45^\circ \Rightarrow A+B < 90^\circ$.
Thus $A+B = 45^\circ$.
