3. Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation y = log₁₀x The region R, shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by the curve, the line with equation x = 2, the x-axis and the line with equation x = 14 Using the trapezium rule with four strips of equal width, (a) show that the area of R is approximately 10.10
4. f(x) = (x² − 2)(2x − 3) − 21 (a) State the value of the remainder when f(x) is divided by (2x − 3) (b) Use the factor theorem to show that (x − 3) is a factor of f(x) (c) Hence, (i) factorise f(x) (ii) show that the equation f(x) = 0 has only one real root
