4.     (i)     Express $\ 8 \cos \theta − 15 \sin \theta \$ in the form $\ R \cos (\theta + \alpha)$, where $\ R \gt 0 \$ and $\ 0 \lt \alpha \lt 90^{\circ}$, stating the exact value of $R$ and giving the value of $\alpha$ correct to 2 decimal places.

5.     The curve with equation $\ \displaystyle y = \textrm{e}^{−ax} \tan x$, where $a$ is a positive constant, has only one point in the interval $\ 0 \lt x \lt \frac{1}{2} \pi \$ at which the tangent is parallel to the $x$-axis.

6.     The line $l$ has equation $\ \mathbf{r} = \mathbf{i} + 2 \mathbf{j} \ − \ 3 \mathbf{k} + \lambda ( 2 \mathbf{i} \ − \ \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k} )$. The plane $p$ has equation $\ 3x + y \ − \ 5z = 20.$

7.     A water tank has vertical sides and a horizontal rectangular base, as shown in the diagram. The area of the base is $2 \ \textrm{m}^{2}$. At time $t = 0$ the tank is empty and water begins to flow into it at a rate of $1 \ \textrm{m}^{3}$ per hour. At the same time water begins to flow out from the base at a rate of $0.2 \sqrt{h} \ \textrm{m}^3$
per hour, where $h \ \textrm{m}$ is the depth of water in the tank at time $t$ hours.

(i)     Form a differential equation satisfied by $h$ and $t$, and show that the time $T$ hours taken for the depth of water to reach 4 m is given by
$$T = \int_{0}^{4} \frac{10}{ 5 \ – \ \sqrt{h} } \textrm{d}h$$

9.     Let $\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{ x(6 \ – \ x) }{ (2+x)(4+x)^{2}}.$

(i)     Express $f(x)$ in partial fractions.

10.     The diagram shows the curve $\ y = {(\ln x)}^{2}$. The $x$-coordinate of the point $P$ is equal to $\textrm{e}$, and the normal to the curve at $P$ meets the $x$-axis at $Q$.
