4. Differentiate (Sin3X)x with respect to x .

5. Find the possible values of t given that the integral of 8x³ - 27x² + 26x - 6 with respect to x under the
interval of 0≤x≤t is 0

6. Find the equation of the normal to the curve x² -2xy -2y² + x = 2 at the point (-4 ,1).

7. Find the vector perpendicular to the vectors a = 2i -j + 3k and b = i + 2j + k

iv) Hence sketch the curve

15) a) Solve the equation √(x-1) + 2√( x-4) = 4


b) Show that loga b = logc b.
log c b
Hence find without using table or a calculator, the value of log 16 128
c) Solve (0.6)x+3 = (0.4)2x-1 correct to 4.s.f
16) a) Solve the differential equation x²dy/dx = x² + xy + y²

trading center at 7:00am am it's body temperature was 30⁰C . Ten minutes later, the police surgeon
measured the body temperature and found it to be 28.5⁰C , the air temperature was 20⁰C . The body
temperature loses heat at rate proportional to the difference between the body temperature T and the
sounding temperature To . If the normal body temperature is 37⁰C . Estimate the time when the man
was killed.
