    1. Show that the volume of the filter is V=3π2θ2​√4π2−θ2​.

      [6]
    2. Hence show that dθdV​=3π2√4π2−θ2​θ​(8π2−3θ2).

      [4]
    3. Find the exact value of θ that maximizes V.

      [3]

    The value of θ is increasing at a rate of 0.2 radians per second.

    1. Find the rate of change in the volume when θ=π.

    Let w=cosθ+isinθ, for 43π​<θ<45π​.

    1. Using the binomial theorem, write down the expansion w3.

      [3]
    2. Using your result from (a), show that

      (i) cos3θ=4cos3θ−3cosθ

      (ii) sin3θ=3sinθ−4sin3θ

      [4]
    3. Hence, or otherwise, show that 1−3tan2A3tanA−tan3A​≡tan3A.

      [5]
    4. Using the identity demonstrated in (c), find the exact value of tan3θ, given that sinθ=53​.
