    SIXTH TERM EXAMINATION PAPERS ‘administered by the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board (on bebalf of the Cambridge Colleges 9475 FURTHER MATHEMATICS PAPERB Friday 2 July 1993, aftemoon 3 hours Additional materials: script paper: graph paper; MFISTEP)1. To be brought by candidate: electronic calculator; standard geometrical instruments All questions carry equal weight. Candidates are reminded that extra credit is given for complete answers and that little credit is given for isolated fragments. Candidates may attempt as many questions as they wish but marks will be assessed on the six questions best answered. Mathematical Formulae and tables (MF STEP)1 are provided. Electronic calculators may be used. STEP 585 Turn over This Question Paper consists of 8 printed pages. 1 The curve P has the parametric equations ® in®, y=cos26 for — 4/20 < x/2 Show that P is part of the parabola y = 1 — 2x and sketch P. Show that the length of P is (17) + }sinh~" 4, Obtain the volume of the solid enclosed when P is rotated through 2x radians about the line -1. 2 The curve C has the equation 2° + y° = 3zy. (i) Show that there is no point of inflection on C. You may assume that the origin is not a point of inflection (ii) The part of C’ which lies in the first quadrant is a closed loop touching the axes at the origin. By converting to polar coordinates, or otherwise, evaluate the area of this loop. 3 The matrices A, B and M are given by a 00 1 A=[b ¢ 0}, B=|0 aay 0 one 13 2 » M={4 13 5], 38 7 where 4, 6, ..., 7 are real numbers. Given that M = AB, show that a= 1,6=4,¢=1,d=3, e=-1, f = -2, p= 3, q = 2,7 = —3 gives the unique solution for A and B.

Given that w; = 2/(z—1), find the equation of the locus L of Q; in terms of w; and describe the geometrical form of L. Given that w, = 2*, show that the locus of Qz is also L. Determine the positions of P for which Q1 coincides with Qo. 7 The real numbers x and y satisfy the simultaneous equations sinh(2x)=coshy and sinh(2y) = 2cosh x. Show that sinh? y is a root of the equation 40 +40? — 4t- 0 and demonstrate that this gives at most one valid solution for y. Show that the relevant value of t lies between 0.7 and 0.8, and use an iterative process to find t to 6 decimal places. Find y and hence find 2 places. checking your answers and stating the final answers to four decimal 8 A square pyramid has its base vertices at the points A (a,0,0), B (0,a,0), C (—a,0,0) and D (0,~a,0), and its vertex at E (0,0,a).
