the value of 𝑎 and 𝑏. [3]
b. Factorise 𝑓(𝑥) completely, using the factor theorem. [3]
c. Hence, sketch the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥). [2]
d. Now, sketch the graph of 𝑦 = |𝑓(𝑥)|. [2]

SOLUTION
a. 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 4 + 𝑎𝑥 3 + 𝑏𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 − 4 and the factor (𝑥 2 − 1)
𝑥 = ±1 [from the factor]

𝑓(1) = 3(1)4 + 𝑎(1)3 + 𝑏(1)2 − 7(1) − 4 = 3 + 𝑎 + 𝑏 − 11[substituting x = 1]

𝑓(1) = 𝑎 + 𝑏 − 8 = 0 [if (𝑥 2 − 1) is a factor then, the roots ±1 must give us 0

when substituted in the real function]

𝑓(−1) = 3(−1)4 + 𝑎(−1)3 + 𝑏(−1)2 − 7(−1) − 4 = 3 − 𝑎 + 𝑏 + 3 [at x =-1]

𝑓(−1) = −𝑎 + 𝑏 + 6 = 0
Solving the two equations;
𝑎 + 𝑏 − 8 = 0 …(1)
−𝑎 + 𝑏 + 6 = 0 …(2)
from eqn (1); 𝑎 = 8 − 𝑏
−(8 − 𝑏) + 𝑏 + 6 = 0 [substituting equation (1) in to (2)]

−8 + 𝑏 + 𝑏 + 6 = 0

Taking 𝒚 = , from a view at 𝑥 = 0 the graph will be invalid (it’s

impossible).

Hence, the other asymptote will be at 𝒙 = 𝟎.

METHOD 2 [A bit complicated]

𝑦𝑥 = 𝑥 2 + 1 [rearranging]

By equating the coefficient of the highest power 𝑥 term to zero, we get

0 = 1 hence, there is no asymptote parallel to the 𝑥-axis.
Again by equating the coefficient of the highest power 𝑦 term to zero,
we get 𝑥 = 0.
Therefore, the 𝒚-axis is an asymptote.

2022 [SHARE] PAPER 1 TEST 1 SOLUTION

To find other asymptote we substitute 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐 in the re-arranged

equation.
(𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐 )𝑥 = 𝑥 2 + 1
𝑚𝑥 2 + 𝑐𝑥 = 𝑥 2 + 1
𝑚𝑥 2 − 𝑥 2 = 1 − 𝑐𝑥
(𝑚 − 1)𝑥 2 + 𝑐𝑥 − 1 = 0
Now, by equating the coefficient of the highest power 𝑥 term to 0, we
get; 𝑚 − 1 = 0
Again, equating the coefficient of the next highest power 𝑥 term to 0,
we get; 𝑐 = 0.
Therefore, 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐 gives 𝑦 = 1𝑥 + 0  𝑦 = 𝑥
Hence, the other asymptote is at 𝒚 = 𝒙.

SOLUTION
𝑧 3 − 𝑧 2 − 𝑧 = 15
Using trial and error method to find the factor of the given equation.

𝑧 3 − 𝑧 2 − 𝑧 − 15 = 0

Since the tangent is parallel to the 𝑥-axis, therefore gradient is 0.

𝑑𝑦
Then the gradient function is .
𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑦
= 3𝑥 2 − 𝑝
𝑑𝑥

∴ 3𝑥 2 − 𝑝 = 0

Since the coordinates at the tangent are; (2; −8)

Then substituting (2) for 𝑥 we have; 3(2)2 − 𝑝 = 0

∴ 𝑝 = 12

−8 = (2)3 − 12(2) + 𝑞

(−8) + 12(2) − 8 = 𝑞

𝑞=8

So the equation of the curve is 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 − 12𝑥 + 8.

Since the tangent is parallel to the 𝑥-axis, then its gradient is 0.

𝑑𝑦
So when the gradient function is 0 and = 3𝑥 2 − 12
𝑑𝑥

0 = 3𝑥 2 − 12

∴ 𝑥 = ±√4

Since we already have 2; the tangent is at(−2)again;

Substituting (−2) for 𝑥 in the equation we have;

𝑦 = (−2)3 − 12(−2) + 8

𝑦 = 24

So the coordinates of the other point where the tangent is parallel to the 𝒙-axis

a) The sketch graph shows the lines 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 − 8 and 𝑦 = 7𝑥 + 7.

Find the coordinates of the point A, B, C, D, E and F and find the area. [8]
b) Find the volume of the solid revolution formed by rotating the area enclosed
by the line 𝑦 = 7𝑥 + 7 from E to F through one revolution about the 𝑥-axis[4]

SOLUTION
a) To find the coordinates of A, B and C we use trial and error first so as to
find the first root which we shall in turn use to find the other 2 roots of the

equation 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 − 8.
So, after performing the above mathematical process we get our coordinates;

𝐀(−𝟒; 𝟎), 𝐁(−𝟏; 𝟎) 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂(𝟐; 𝟎)

The coordinates of D are (0; −𝟖) [when x = 0, y = - 8]

Now, to find the coordinates of E and F we must solve the equation of line and curve

simultaneously. E and F are the points of intersection for the two functions.

Therefore, 7𝑥 + 7 = 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 − 8

𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 − 13𝑥 − 15 = 0

@ 2022 [SHARE] +263784089807 RES: MUTARE 27

2022 [SHARE] PAPER 1 TEST 1 SOLUTION

To find the coordinates of E, B and F we use trial and error first so as to

find the first root which we shall in turn use to find the other 2 roots of the

equation; namely E and F because we already have B.

Hence, after performing trial and error method we get (𝑥 + 1) as the factor.
Now, using the factor theorem;
𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 15
𝑥 + 1 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 − 13𝑥 − 15
−(𝑥 3 + 𝑥 2 )
2𝑥 2 − 13𝑥
−(2𝑥 2 + 2𝑥)
−15𝑥 − 15
−(−15𝑥 − 15)
0

So, from the look, it is obvious that the x-coordinate of B is -1 (our 1st root).

Hence, then x-coordinates of E and F are at 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 15 = 0

Solving the equation, we get;

𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 15 = 0

(𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 + 5) = 0

Hence, 𝑥 = 3 or − 5. [then substitute these values in the real equation to find y]

A. 𝑇10 = 2𝑇5 [the 10th term is twice the 5th term]
