2. (i) Find the ranges of values of x, between 0° and 180°, for
which cos 3x is positive. (4)
(ii) Find the length of the perimeter of a sector of a circle
of radius 3 units, if the area of the sector is 18 square
units. (4)
3. (i) Integrate with respect to v

a:3
(ii) If the sum of the length and the circumference of a
cylinder is 6 ft, find the circumference when the volume
is a maximum. (6)
4. (i) For what range of values of x is the function
x* — 8x — 9
both negative and decreasing ? (5)
(ii) Find a fourth proportional to
ak~2, ah+2, ak~3. (3)
(iii) Simplify
x-t (2x + l)s - 4x* (2x + 1)“4. (4)
5. (i) A quantity I is given by the formula
_ £
I = e io sin £
