Use mathematical induction to prove that FOUx) = pve (ple + 1) +n), ne Zi. When p = V3, there is a minimum point and a point of inflexion on the graph of f Find the exact value of the x-coordinate of: (i) the minimum point Gi) the point of inflexion. Let p= : Let R be the region enclosed by the curve, the x-axis and the lines x = -2 and x = 2. Find the area of R. [13 marks} 2. Daniel and Theo play a game with a biased coin. There is a probability of ; that the coin shows a head and a probability of 4 that it shows a tail. They take it in turns to toss the coin. If the coin shows a head the player who tossed the coin wins the game. If the coin shows a tail, the other player has the next toss, Daniel plays first and the game continues until there is a winner. © Write down the probability that Daniel wins on his first toss. Calculate the probability that Theo wins on his first toss. Calculate the probability that Daniel wins on his second toss. @ Show that the probability of Daniel winning we . State the probability of Theo winning. @ They play the game with a different biased coin and find that the probability of Daniel winning is twice the probability of Theo winning. Find the probability of this coin showing a head. [14 marks] Below is a table showing the values and gradient of f(x) at various points. [year Is f(x) a one-to-one function?
