9 % = ! + 1 (Hint : You will need to show that ! 0 = 0 . [5]

& &% &% &%

∶ 9% = 1. ! + + 0 ∗ ∗ so 9% − =!
&# &# &# &#
Ans:
&% %
= . ∗ When = 0 the given equation shows that 9 % = 0 + 1. This
&# <= #
and
&% % >
shows ! = 0. ∗ Then = = =0∗
&# <= # >

3) Use the Newton method to find an approximation for 10 .

(Hint: Start with x 0 = 3, show the values of ?@ and ?A , and carry out your calculation as far

as needed for the approximation to be correct to 5 decimal places.) [4]

on the interval -−9, 1/, find:
J
4) For the function

a) The stationary and singular points, if any. (3)

D
= + +1 /J
∗= 0 if +1 /J
= −1 ∗ i.e. if + 1 = −1, this means
J J
Ans:

at = −2. * We note that the function has a singularity (a point where D

is not defined)
at = −1. *

b) The nature of the stationary points. (Hint: Use the second derivative test or the first
derivative test. In the latter case you need to show the sign of the derivative close to
any stationary points). (2)
Ans:
L
DD
= −J.J +1 "/J
* so DD
−2 = − J . J −2 + 1 M = − N < 0 so local max at

= −2 *

5) The estimated daily rentals of videos from a video shop is given by S = 1009 T7 6T

where S is the demand in daily rentals and p is the rental price per video in Rands.
a) Determine the price elasticity of demand, E, when the rental is set at R2 per video.(3)

Ans: U = − ∗= −W1009 T7 6T
X −2Y + 1 ∗ 7 = −Y −2Y + 1 .

b) At what price will revenue be a maximum? (Hint: Use E = 1) (3)

[6]

Ans: Maximum revenue when E = 1: i.e. −Y −2Y + 1 = 1 ∗ so 2Y − Y − 1 = 0 .

Need positive value for p. So Y = 1 . **
