5. By transforming the augmented matrix into row-echelon form, solve the following system of equations. x + 2y + 3z = 3 2x + 3y + 8z = 4 3x + 2y + 17z = 1 [5] 6. (a) Show that x y is a factor of x3 y3. Find all real factors of x3 y3 and x3 + y3. Hence, find all real factors of x6 y6.

8. (a) Solve the equation (3x +1 )(4 x + 2 ) = 52 x 1 . Give your answer correct to 4 significant figures. [4] (b) Let f(x) = 6x4 7x3 + ax2 + bx 12, where a and b are independent of x. If (x 1) is a factor of f(x) and when f(x) is divided by (x + 1), the remainder is 50, find the values of a and b. With these values of a and b, (i) find a factor of f(x) in the form x + k, where k is a positive integer, (ii) factorise f(x) completely, (iii) find the set of values for x so that f(x) > 0. [11]
