(i) Show that \(p = 2 \ln \left( \frac{8p + 16}{7} \right)\).
(ii) Use an iterative process based on the equation in part (i) to find the value of \(p\) correct to 3 significant figures. Use a starting value of 3.5 and give the result of each iteration to 5 significant figures.
The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = \\cos(\sqrt{x})\) for \(x \geq 0\), where \(x\) is in radians. The shaded region between the curve, the axes and the line \(x = p^2\), where \(p > 0\), is denoted by \(R\). The area of \(R\) is equal to 1.
(i) Use the substitution \(x = u^2\) to find \(\int_0^{p^2} \cos(\sqrt{x}) \, dx\). Hence show that \(\sin p = \frac{3 - 2 \cos p}{2p}\).
(ii) Use the iterative formula \(p_{n+1} = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{3 - 2 \cos p_n}{2p_n} \right)\), with initial value \(p_1 = 1\), to find the value of \(p\) correct to 2 decimal places. Give the result of each iteration to 4 decimal places.
It is given that \(\int_1^a x \ln x \, dx = 22\), where \(a\) is a constant greater than 1.
(i) Show that \(a = \sqrt{\frac{87}{2 \ln a - 1}}\).
(ii) Use an iterative formula based on the equation in part (i) to find the value of \(a\) correct to 2 decimal places. Use an initial value of 6 and give the result of each iteration to 4 decimal places.
(i) Given that \(\int_1^a \frac{\ln x}{x^2} \, dx = \frac{2}{5}\), show that \(a = \frac{5}{3}(1 + \ln a)\).
(ii) Use an iteration formula based on the equation \(a = \frac{5}{3}(1 + \ln a)\) to find the value of \(a\) correct to 2 decimal places. Use an initial value of 4 and give the result of each iteration to 4 decimal places.
The diagram shows the curve \(y = x \cos 2x\) for \(0 \leq x \leq \frac{1}{4} \pi\). The point \(M\) is a maximum point.
