Answer all questions [60] marks]

1) Find the equation of the normal to the curve 𝑥 2 − 3𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦 2 = 5 , at a point (1 ; 4) [4]

2) By using substituting 𝑢 = 𝑒 𝑥 to evaluate

1
𝑒𝑥
∫ 2𝑥
𝑑𝑥
0 9 − 𝑒

leaving your answer in the form involving logarithms [6]

1 0 0
3) Given that 𝐴 = (0 2 1)
0 0 1
1 0 0
Prove by mathematical induction that 𝐴𝑛 = (0 2𝑛 2𝑛 − 1) 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑛 ∈ Ζ + [7]
0 0 1

4) Given that
2
𝑓 (𝑥 ) =
(𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 + 3)
a) i) Express 𝑓(𝑥 ) in partial fraction [4]

𝐢𝐢) Hence, find

𝑛
∑ 𝑓(𝑟) [𝟔]
𝑟=1

iii) Hence, deduce the value of

∞
∑ 𝑓(𝑟) [𝟐]
𝑟=1

c) Prove by induction that 7𝑛 + 4𝑛 + 1 is divisible by 6 for all 𝑛 ∈ ℤ+ [6]

Find the transformation matrix T [3]

3 𝑎 0
b) The matrix 𝐴 = (2 𝑏 0)
𝑐 0 1

1 Given that, 𝐴 = 𝐴−1 , find the value of 𝑎 ; 𝑏 and 𝑐 [4]

2 In case where 𝑎 = −2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 = 2 , 𝑐 = 3 , find the inverse of 𝐴 [6]
