( 0.04382 )4 ( √5 631.7)

elog 3 + √ log √ 5 , correct to 6 decimal places.

b)

c) Use logarithms to evaluate; √3 e 2 √ ln 3−cos 300 °

2. a) Prove that cosh ( x− y )=coshxcoshy−sinhxsinhy

b) Solve 2 cosh 2 x+ 10 sinh2 x=5

1+ √ 1−x 2

3. A farmer has 20 hectares for growing barley and swedes. The farmer has to decide how much
of each to grow. The cost per hectare for barley is ₤30 and for swedes is ₤20. The farmer has
budgeted ₤480. Barley requires 1 man-day per hectare and swedes require 2 man-days per
hectare. There are 36 man-days available. The profit on barley is ₤100 per hectare and on
swedes is ₤120 per hectare. Find the number of hectares of each crop the farmer should saw
to maximize profits.
