During 2029, the number of hours of daylight per day in London, H, is modelled by the equation

where x is the number of days after 1st January 2029 and the angle is in radians.

Show that, according to the model, the number of hours of daylight in London on the 31st January 2029 will be 8.13 to 3 significant figures.

Use the substitution t tan to show that H can be written as

where a, b and c are constants to be determined.

Hence determine, according to the model, the date of the first day of 2029 when there will be at least 12 hours of daylight in London.

With respect to a fixed origin O, the points A and B have coordinates (2, 2, –1) and (4, 2 p, 1) respectively, where p is a constant.

For each of the following, determine the possible values of p for which,

OB makes an angle of 45° with the positive x-axis

The velocity vms^–1, of a raindrop, t seconds after it falls from a cloud, is modelled by the differential equation

Initially the raindrop is at rest.

velocity of the raindrop 1 second after it falls from the cloud.

Given that the initial acceleration of the raindrop is found to be smaller than is suggested by the current model,

refine the model by changing the value of one constant.

Use differentiation to determine the Taylor series expansion of lnx, in ascending powers of (x – 1), up to and including the term in (x – 1)²

Hence prove that

Use L’Hospital’s rule to determine
