constants, leaving your answer in terms of m, n and d. [3]

3 The first term of an arithmetic series is 3 and the first term of a geometric series is 4. The arithmetic and
geometric series have both b as the common difference and common ratio respectively. The sixth term of
the arithmetic series is equal to the sum of the third and fourth terms of the geometric series. Find all the
possible values of b. For convergence in the geometric series, find its sum to infinity. [5]

4 Express 4 x  3  4 x 2 in the form ( Ax  B ) 2  C. [1]


Hence solve

leaving your answer in exact form. [2]

5 A right circular cone with radius 3 cm and height 9 cm is initially full of water. Water is leaking from the
circular base of the cone at a rate of 2 cm 3 s1, find the exact rate of change of the depth of water when the
depth of water is 6 cm. [4]
