  1. Determine the inverse off(x)= 3 x+1(3)

  2. Evaluate, correct to 3 decimal places:


2tan−^11. 64 +sec−^12. 43 −3cosec−^13 .85 (3)


  1. Determine the asymptotes for the following
    function and hence sketch the curve:


y=

(x− 1 )(x+ 4 )
(x− 2 )(x− 5 )

  1. Plot a graph ofy= 3 x^2 +5 fromx=1tox=4.
    Estimate, correct to 2 decimal places, using 6 inter-
    vals, the area enclosed by the curve, the ordinates


x=1andx=4,andthex-axis by (a) thetrapezoidal
rule, (b) the mid-ordinate rule, and (c) Simpson’s
rule. (11)


  1. A circular cooling tower is 20m high. The inside
    diameter of the tower at different heights is given
    in the following table:


Height (m) 0 5.0 10.0 15.0 20. 0
Diameter (m) 16.0 13.3 10.7 8.6 8.0

Determine the area corresponding toeach diameter
and henceestimatethecapacity of thetower in cubic
metres. (5)


  1. A vehicle starts from rest and its velocity is
    measured every second for 6 seconds, with the
    following results:


Timet(s) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Velocity 0 1.2 2.4 3.7 5.2 6.0 9.2
v(m/s)

Using Simpson’s rule, calculate (a) the distance
travelled in 6s (i.e. the area under thev/tgraph)
and (b) the average speed over this period. (5)
