3. You are provided with one AL(C)1 answer book and four AL(D) answer books.
Section A : Write your answers in the AL(C)1 answer book.
Section B : Use a separate AL(D) answer book for each question and put the
question number on the front cover of each answer book.
4. The four AL(D) answer books should be tied together with the green tag
provided. The AL(C)1 answer book and the four AL(D) answer books must be
handed in separately at the end of the examination.

13. (a) (i) By Mean Value Theorem, there exists ξ 1 ∈ (a, x) such that
f(x) − f(a) = f ′(ξ 1 )( x − a) for x ∈ ( a, a + 1)
f(a) = 0 and x − a > 0
∴ f( x ) = f ′(ξ 1 ) ( x − a) ≤ f(ξ 1 ) ( x − a )
