INSTRUCTIONS Write your Name on each sheet of paper used or the front of the booklet used. Answer all the questions. You may use a graphical calculator in this paper.
INFORMATION The number of marks is given in brackets [] at the end of each question or part-question. You are advised that you may receive no marks unless you show sufficient detail of the working to indicate that a correct method is being used. Final answers should be given to a degree of accuracy appropriate to the context. The total number of marks for this paper is 72.
Section A (36 marks) 1 The common ratio of a geometric progression is -0.5. The sum of its first three terms is 15. Find the first term. Find also the sum to infinity. [5]
The diagram shows the graph of y = f(x). The graph passes through the point with coordinates (0, 2).

Plot the points (t, N) on graph paper and join them with a smooth curve.
Explain why the curve suggests why the relationship connecting t and N may be of [1] the form N = abt .
(iii) Explain how, by using logarithms, the curve given by plotting N against t can be transformed into a straight line. State the gradient of this straight line and its intercept with the vertical axis in terms of a [3] and b. (iv) Complete a table of values for log10 N and plot the points (t, log10 N) on graph paper. Draw the best fit line through the points and use it to estimate the values of a and b. [6]
