The diagram shows the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥), where 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(𝑥 + 𝑏)2 (𝑥 + 𝑐) and 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 are
integers.
(a) Find the value of each 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐. [3]

(b) Hence solve the inequality 𝒇(𝒙) ≤ −𝟐 graphically or otherwise. [3]

2. In  𝐴𝐵𝐶, the lengths of 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐵𝐶 are ( 2 + √50 ) cm and ( 10 − ) cm respectively.
√50
Given that 𝐴𝐵𝐶 = 45°, find the value of 𝐴𝐶 2 , leaving your answer in the form
( 𝑎 + 𝑏√2 ) 𝑐𝑚2 , where 𝑎 and 𝑏 are rational numbers. [9]

are constants. When a graph of 𝒚 against 𝒙 is drawn, a straight line is obtained. Given that
the line has a gradient of 3 and passes through (0, 2), find the value of 𝑎 and of 𝑏. [5]

4. (a) The fourth term of a geometric progression is 8 times the first term. The sum of the first
7
three term is 3. Find
(i) The common ratio of this progression. [3]

 (ii) Hence, find the sum of first 6 terms. [5]

(b) The first three terms of an arithmetic progression are 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 4, 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 16, 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 64.
(i) Find the common difference of this progression. [2]

(ii) Find, in terms of 𝑛 and 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 4, the sum to 𝑛 terms of this progression. Simplify your
answer. [3]

(iii) Given that the sum to 𝑛 terms is 3486 𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑥 4, find the value of 𝑛 by using the result
from (bii). [3]

 (iv) Hence, from sum to n terms in question (biii), given that the sum to 𝑛 terms is also
equal to 1162, find the value of 𝑥. [3]

5. (a) (i) Write down the first 4 terms in ascending powers of 𝑥 of the expansion of

Symbols @ * #
No character can be repeated in a code. Find the number of possible codes if
(i) there are no restrictions [2]

(ii) the code starts with a symbol followed by two letters and then two numbers. [2]

(iii) the first two characters are numbers and no other numbers appear in the code. [2]

𝑏 > 3 where 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 are constant.

The curve meets the y-axis at (0, −4) and point P is (3 , 2). The curve also has a maximum
value of 8 and minimum value of −4.

8. Diagram A to F show six different graphs. In each case the whole graph is shown and the
scales on the two axes are the same.

Place ticks in the boxes in the table to indicate which descriptions, in any, apply to each graph.
There may be more than one tick in any row or column of the table. Only allow to put 7 ticks.
