In the diagram, ABC is a triangle in which angle ABC is a right angle and BC = a. A circular arc, with centre C and radius a, joins B and the point M on AC. The angle ACB is b8 radians. The area of the sector CMB is equal to one third of the area of the triangle ABC.
(i) Show that b8 satisfies the equation
\(\tan \theta = 3\theta\).
(ii) This equation has one root in the interval \(0 < \theta < \frac{1}{2}\pi\). Use the iterative formula
\(\theta_{n+1} = \arctan(3\theta_n)\)
to determine the root correct to 2 decimal places. Give the result of each iteration to 4 decimal places.
The diagram shows a semicircle ACB with centre O and radius r. The tangent at C meets AB produced at T. The angle BOC is x radians. The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the semicircle.
(i) Show that x satisfies the equation \(\tan x = x + \pi\).
(ii) Use the iterative formula \(x_{n+1} = \arctan(x_n + \pi)\) to determine x correct to 2 decimal places. Give the result of each iteration to 4 decimal places.
The diagram shows a circle with centre O and radius 10 cm. The chord AB divides the circle into two regions whose areas are in the ratio 1 : 4 and it is required to find the length of AB. The angle AOB is \(\theta\) radians.
(i) Show that \(\theta = \frac{2}{5}\pi + \sin \theta\).
(ii) Showing all your working, use an iterative formula, based on the equation in part (i), with an initial value of 2.1, to find \(\theta\) correct to 2 decimal places. Hence find the length of AB in centimetres correct to 1 decimal place.
The diagram shows a semicircle ACB with centre O and radius r. The angle BOC is x radians. The area of the shaded segment is a quarter of the area of the semicircle.
(i) Show that x satisfies the equation
\(x = \frac{3}{4}\pi - \sin x\).
(ii) This equation has one root. Verify by calculation that the root lies between 1.3 and 1.5.
(iii) Use the iterative formula
\(x_{n+1} = \frac{3}{4}\pi - \sin x_n\)
to determine the root correct to 2 decimal places. Give the result of each iteration to 4 decimal places.
In the diagram, ABCD is a rectangle with AB = 3a and AD = a. A circular arc, with centre A and radius r, joins points M and N on AB and CD respectively. The angle MAN is x radians. The perimeter of the sector AMN is equal to half the perimeter of the rectangle.
