2 marks 
(b) If 4x  1 is a factor of T x , find the value of n and show that

T x  4x3  x2  36x  9. 4 marks 

(c) Given that T x can be written as T x  4x  1 x2  c , where c is an integer.

By using long division, express T x as a product of three linear factors. 4 marks 

2. Given that 2 is a zero of the polynomial P x   x3  2x 2  x  2.

(a) Factorise P x completely. 4 marks 

8x  10
(b) Hence, express as partial fractions. 6 marks 
P  x

 1  2 tan y  tan 2 y
3. If 2y  x  , show that tan x  by using the formula
4 1  2 tan y  tan 2 y
tan A  tan B  
