Q3.

Figure 4

Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve C with equation

The finite region S, shown shaded in Figure 4, is bounded by the curve C, the line with
equation x = 1, the x-axis and the line with equation x = 3

The table below shows corresponding values of x and y with the values of y given to 4
decimal places as appropriate.

(a) Use the trapezium rule, with all the values of y in the table, to obtain an estimate for the
area of S, giving your answer to 3 decimal places.
(3)
(b) Explain how the trapezium rule could be used to obtain a more accurate estimate for
the area of S.
(1)

(c) Show that the exact area of S can be written in the form + lnc, where a, b and c are
integers to be found.
(6)
(In part c, solutions based entirely on graphical or numerical methods are not acceptable.)
