In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
The equation z4 + 4z3 + 9z2 + 10z + 6 = 0 has roots α, β, γ and δ.
Show that a quartic equation whose roots are α + 1, β + 1, γ + 1 and δ + 1 is
w4 + 3w2 + 2 = 0.

The power output, p watts, of a machine at time t hours after it is switched on can be modelled by the equation p = 20 - 20 tanh (1.44 t) for t ⩾ 0.
Determine, according to the model, the mean power output of the machine over the first half hour
after it is switched on. Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.
