Answer both parts A and B.

A INVESTIGATION (QUESTIONS 1 to 6)

SQUARE ROOTS WITHIN SQUARE ROOTS (20 marks)

You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part.

This investigation looks at sequences of terms with square roots.

You can form a sequence by using square roots within square roots.

6 , 6+ 6 , 6+ 6+ 6 , 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 , ...

You can calculate the first four terms of this sequence as follows.

6 = 2.4494.….

6+ 6 = 6 + 2.4494... = 8.4494... = 2.9068.….

6+ 6+ 6 = 6 + 2.9068... = 8.9068... = 2.9844.….

6+ 6+ 6+ 6 = 6 + 2.9844... = 8.9844... = 2.9974…..

1 (a) Calculate the next term of the sequence, writing the decimal as far as the 4th decimal place.

......................................................

(b) As the sequence continues, the terms get closer and closer to an integer.
This integer is the integer limit of the sequence.

Write down the integer limit of this sequence.

4 The general sequence is k, k+ k , k+ k+ k , k + k + k + k , ...

So, when x is one of the terms, the next term is k + x .

The sequence reaches its limit, x, when one term equals the next term. That is, when x = k + x .

(a) Make k the subject of the equation x = k + x .

......................................................

(b) Use part (a) to check that the sequence below has a limit, x, equal to 7.

42 , 42 + 42 , 42 + 42 + 42 , 42 + 42 + 42 + 42 , ...

5 You will find the following information useful in this question.

6 Here is another type of sequence.

5, 5 + 13 , 5 + 13 + 5 , 5 + 13 + 5 + 13 , 5 + 13 + 5 + 13 + 5 , ...

(a) The limit of this sequence is an integer, x.

By calculating some terms of this sequence, find x.

......................................................

(b) The general form of this sequence is

a, a+ b , a+ b+ a , a + b + a + b , ...

where a and b are positive integers and a ! b.

The sequence has a limit, x, when x = a + b + x .

Show that this equation can be written as x 2 - a = b + x .

sequence.

5, 5 + 13 , 5 + 13 + 5 , 5 + 13 + 5 + 13 , 5 + 13 + 5 + 13 + 5 , ...

(ii) There are other pairs of positive integers, a and b, where a ! b, such that the sequence

a, a+ b , a+ b+ a , a + b + a + b , ... has the same limit as in part (a).

Find all these pairs of positive integers.

B MODELLING (QUESTIONS 7 to 9)

MAKING CONES (20 marks)

You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part.

You may find some of these formulas useful.

Circumference, C, of a circle of radius r. C = 2rr

1
Volume, V, of cone of radius r, height h. V = rr 2 h
3
Curved surface area, A, of cone of radius r, sloping edge l. A = rrl

This task looks at modelling the volume of a cone, which is made from a circular disc.

In this part lengths are given in centimetres and angles in degrees.

Raj makes a cone from a circular disc of radius 18.

He cuts out part of the circular disc, leaving the shaded sector with sector angle x.
He joins the two radii of 18 together.
The cone that he makes has base radius r and height h.
