(a(i)) Express OB in terms of p andorq.[1]

Verified working — step 1

OB = OA + AB. Since OA = AB = BP = 2p, AB = …

(a(ii)) Express BC in terms of p andorq.[1]

Verified working — step 1

OC = 2·OQ = …

(a(iii)) Express AQ in terms of p andorq.[1]

Verified working — step 1

AQ = OQ - OA = …

(a(iv)) Express CP in terms of p andorq.[2]

Verified working — step 1

OP = OA + AB + BP = 2p + 2p + 2p = …

(b) The gradient function of a curve is 3x + 2. Find the equation of the curve if it passes through the point (0, 2).[3]

Verified working — step 1

Given dydx= 3x + 2, integrate:
