Extended Answer Section
There are three questions in this section, each with a number of parts. Write your
answers in the space provided below each part. If you need more space there are extra pages
at the end of the examination paper.

1. (a) The data points (x, y) below obey an approximately exponential law y ≈ Aekx:
   x 0 2 4 6 8
   y 7.389 33.12 54.60 90.02 403.4
   (i) Perform an appropriate scaling to the experimental data points (x, y) to obtain
   new scaled data points (x, Y ). Round the scaled data to one decimal place.
   (ii) Obtain the equation of the ‘line of best fit’ using the ‘method of least squares’.
   From the data in the table, find Xx,

   ,
   XY and XxY . Hence, find
   the equation of the ‘line of best fit’ in the form Y = mx + b.

2. (a) Let f(x) = cos (πx) − sin (πx).
   (i) Find r, and α (in radians), such that f(x) can be written in the form
   f(x) = r sin (πx + α).
   Note: you may simply quote and use any main results and formulae from the
   lectures; you need not derive them.

   (c) Calculate the equation of the tangent plane of T(x, y) at the critical point you found
   in part (b).
   (d) Suppose a particular material in the shape of a flat right-angled triangle is heated
   in a non-uniform way. The verticies of the triangle are located at (0, 0),(1, 0),(0, 1)
   in the (x, y)-plane. The temperature T at any point (x, y) on the triangle is given
   by T(x, y).
   Let B1, B2, B3 denote the boundary edges of the triangle. B1 is the edge along the
   x-axis, B2 is the edge along the y-axis, and B3 is the edge along the hypotenuse.
   The longest edge of the boundary, B3, can be written mathematically as
   B3 := {(x, y)| y = 1 − x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1} .
   You are given that the only critical points of T(x, y) on the other two edges occur
   at the corners of the triangle.
   (i) Find all critical points of T along B3.
