Find the equation of the tangent plane to E at P, giving your answer in the form

ax + by + cz = d where a, b, c and d are integers.

Consider the integers a and b, where, for each integer n, a = 7 n + 4 and b = 8 n + 5.

Let h = hcf (a, b).

Determine all possible values of h.

Find all values of n for which a and b are not co-prime.

The irrational number φ = 1 + plays a significant role in the sequence of Fibonacci

Prove by induction that, for each positive integer n, φⁿ = F_n × φ + F_n-1.

Let N be the number 15 824 578.

Use a standard divisibility test to show that N is a multiple of 11.

A student uses the following test for divisibility by 7.

‘Throw away’ multiples of 7 that appear either individually or within a pair of consecutive digits of the test number. Stop when the number obtained is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The test number is only divisible by 7 if that obtained number is 0.

For example, for the number N, they first ‘throw away’ the “7” in the tens column, leaving the number N₁ = 15824508. At the second stage, they ‘throw away’ the “14” from the left-hand pair of digits of N₁, leaving N₂ = 01824508; and so on, until a number is obtained which is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.

• Justify the validity of this process.

• Continue the student’s test to show that 7 | N.

Given that N = 11 × 1438598, explain why 7 | 1438598.

Let M = N².

Express N in the unique form 101 a + b for positive integers a and b, with 0 ⩽ b < 101.

Hence write M in the form M ≡ r (mod 101), where 0 < r < 101.

Deduce the order of N modulo 101.

You are given the variable point A(3, 8, t), where t is a real parameter, and the fixed point B(1, 2, 2).

Use the vector product to find an expression, in terms of t, for the area of triangle OAB.

Hence determine the value of t for which the area of triangle OAB is a minimum.

In a national park, the number of adults of a given species is carefully monitored and controlled. The number of adults, n months after the start of this project, is A_n. Initially, there are 1000 adults. It is predicted that this number will have declined to 960 after one month.

The first model for the number of adults is that, from one month to the next, a fixed proportion of adults is lost. In order to maintain a fixed number of adults, the park managers “top up” the numbers by adding a constant number of adults from other parks at the end of each month.

Use this model to express the number of adults as a first-order recurrence system.

Instead, it is found that, the proportion of adults lost each month is double the predicted amount, with no change being made to the constant number of adults added each month.

Show that the revised recurrence system for A_n is A₀ = 1000, A_n+1 = 0.92A_n + 40.

Solve this revised recurrence system.

Describe the long-term behaviour of the sequence {A_n} in this case.

A more refined model for the number of adults uses the second-order recurrence system A_n+1 = 0.9A_n - 0.1A_n-1 + 50, for n ⩾ 1, with A₀ = 1000 and A₁ = 920.

Determine the long-term behaviour of the sequence {A_n} for this more refined model.

A criticism of this more refined model is that it does not take account of the fact that the number of adults must be an integer at all times.

State a modified form of the second-order recurrence relation for this more refined

model that will satisfy this requirement.

Show that, for n ⩾ 3, (n + 2)I_n = 125 × 3^n-1 - 16(n - 1)I_n-2.

The curve C is defined parametrically by x = t⁴ cos t, y = t⁴ sin t, for 0 ⩽ t ⩽ 3. The length of C is denoted by L.

Show that L = I₃. (You are not required to evaluate this integral.)

Explain why all groups of even order must contain at least one self-inverse element (that is,

an element of order 2).

Prove that any group, in which every (non-identity) element is self-inverse, is abelian.

A group G has order 4 n + 2, for some positive integer n, and i is the identity element of G. Let x and y be two distinct, non-identity, self-inverse elements of G. By considering the set

H = { i, x, y, xy }, prove by contradiction that not all elements of G are self-inverse.

For all real values of x and y the surface S has equation z = 4x² + 4xy + y² + 6x + 3y + k, where k is a constant and an integer.

Determine the smallest value of the integer k for which the whole of S lies above the x - y

plane.
