b Find the volume of the solid generated when the shaded region is rotated through 360° about the x-axis, giving your answer in terms of π. (5)

2 Given that

0∫ x sec ( 13 x) dx,

a find estimates for the value of I to 3 significant figures using the trapezium rule with

i 2 strips,

ii 4 strips,

iii 8 strips. (6)

b Making your reasoning clear, suggest a value for I correct to 3 significant figures. (2) 3 The temperature in a room is 10°C. A heater is used to raise the temperature in the room

to 25°C and then turned off. The amount by which the temperature in the room exceeds 10°C is θ °C, at time t minutes after the heater is turned off.

It is assumed that the rate at which θ decreases is proportional to θ.


θ = 15e−kt,

where k is a positive constant. (6)

Given that after half an hour the temperature in the room is 20°C,

b find the value of k. (3)

The heater is set to turn on again if the temperature in the room falls to 15°C.

c Find how long it takes before the heater is turned on. (3) 4 a Find the values of the constants p, q and r such that

sin4 x ≡ p + q cos 2x + r cos 4x. (4)

b Hence, evaluate
