FP1 June 2016 Edexcel Exam Paper Question 7


Find the vector equation of the line of intersection of the planes 2x+y-z=4 and 3x+5y+2z=13.


Find the general solution to: d^(2)x/dt^(2) + 7 dx/dt + 12x = 2e^(-t)


a) Show that d/dx(arcsin x) = 1/(√ (1-x²)). b) Hence, use a suitable trigonometric substitution to find ∫ (1/(√ (4-2x-x²))) dx.
