Chapter 1
1.1 Exponential form of complex numbers
You can use the modulus−argument form of a
complex number to express it in the exponential
form: z = reiθ.
Links
The modulus−argument form of
a complex number is z = r(cos θ + i sin θ),
where r = |z| and θ = arg z.
You can write cos θ and sin θ as infinite series of powers
of θ:
θ 2 θ 4 __

You can also write ex, x ∈ ℝ, as a series expansion in
powers of x.

expansions of sin θ, cos θ and ex .

By comparing this series expansion with (1) and (2), you can write eiθ as
eiθ = cos θ + i sin θ
This formula is known as Euler’s relation.
It is important for you to remember this result.
■ You can use Euler’s relation, eiθ = cos θ + i sin θ,
to write a complex number z in exponential
form:
z=r
where r = |z| and θ = arg z.
eiθ
Note Substituting θ​ = π​into Euler’s
relation yields Euler’s identity:
eiπ + 1 = 0
This equation links the five fundamental
constants 0, 1, π
​ ​, e and i, and is considered
an example of mathematical beauty.

1.2 Multiplying and dividing complex numbers
You can apply the modulus−argument rules for multiplying and dividing complex numbers to
numbers written in exponential form.
Recall that, for any two complex numbers ​​z​  1​​​ and ​​z​  2​​​,
●​​|​z​  1​​ ​z​  2​​|​ = |​ ​z​  1​​|​​|​z​  2​​|​​
●​arg ​(​z​  1​​ ​z​  2​​)​ = arg ​(​z​  1​​)​ + arg ​(​z​  2​​)​​
​z​  1​​|​
|​___
●​​ ​   ​ ​ = ​ 
​z​  2​​ ​|​z​  2​​| ​​​
​z​  1​​
__
||
(​z​  2 ​​​)​ = arg ​(​z​  1​​)​− arg ​(​z​  2​​)​​ ​z​  1​​
__
●​arg ​ ​ 
Links
These results can be proved by
considering the numbers ​​z​  1​​​ and ​​z​  2​​​ in the form
r(cos θ + i sin θ) and using the addition formulae
for cos and sin. ← Book 1, Section 2.3
Applying these results to numbers in exponential form gives the following result:
■ If z1 = r1​e​ ​​ i​θ​  ​​​​ and z2 = r2​e​ ​​ i​θ​  ,​​​​ then:
1
• z1z2 = r1r2​e
​ ​​  i​(​θ1​  ​​ + ​θ2​  ​​)​​​

You cannot automatically assume
the laws of indices work the same way with
complex numbers as with real numbers. This
result only shows that they can be applied in
these specific cases.

1.3 De Moivre’s theorem
You can use Euler’s relation to find powers of complex numbers given in modulus−argument form.
(​​ r​(cos θ + i sin θ))​​​​  2​ = (​​ r​e​​  iθ)​​​​  2​
= r​e​​  iθ​ × r​e​​  iθ​
= ​r​​  2​ ​e​​  i2θ​
= ​r​​  2​​(cos 2θ + i sin 2θ)​
Similarly, (​​ r​(cos θ + i sin θ))​​​​  3​ = ​r​​  3(​​ cos 3θ + i sin 3θ)​, and so on.
The generalisation of this result is known as de Moivre’s theorem:
■ For any integer n,
n
​​(r​(cos θ + i sin θ)​)​​​  n​= r​ ​​  ​(cos nθ + i sin nθ)​
You can prove de Moivre’s theorem quickly using Euler’s relation.
​​(r​(cos θ + i sin θ)​)​​​  n​= (​​ r​e​​  iθ​)​​​  n​
= ​r​​  n​ ​e​​  inθ​
= ​r​​  n(​​ cos nθ + i sin nθ)​
You can also prove de Moivre’s theorem for positive
integer exponents directly from the modulus−
argument form of a complex number using the addition
formulae for sin and cos. This step is valid for any integer
exponent n. ← Exercise 1B, Challenge
Links
This proof uses the method
of proof by induction.
← Book 1, Chapter 8
1. Basis step
n = 1; LHS = (r(cos θ + i sin θ))1 = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
RHS = r1(cos 1θ + i sin 1θ) = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
As LHS = RHS, de Moivre’s theorem is true for n = 1.
2. Assumption step
Assume that de Moivre’s theorem is true for n = k, k ∈ ℤ
​ +​ ​:
(r(cos θ + i sin θ)​)k​ ​ = ​rk​ ​(cos kθ + i sin kθ)
8
M01_ALEVEL_CP2_83343_U01_001-030.indd 8
26/02/2018 09:17
Complex numbers
3. Inductive step
When n = k + 1,
(r(cos θ + i sin θ)​)k ​ + 1​ = (r(cos θ + i sin θ)​)k​ ​ × r(cos θ + i sin θ)
= r k(cos kθ + i sin kθ) × r(cos θ + i sin θ)
By assumption step
= r k + 1(cos kθ + i sin kθ)(cos θ + i sin θ)
= r k + 1((cos kθ cos θ − sin kθ sin θ) + i (sin kθ cos θ + cos kθ sin θ))
= r k + 1(cos(kθ + θ) + i sin(kθ + θ))
By addition formulae
= r k + 1(cos((k + 1)θ) + i sin((k + 1)θ))
Therefore, de Moivre’s theorem is true when n = k + 1.
4. Conclusion step
Links
The corresponding proof
for negative integer exponents is
left as an exercise.
If de Moivre’s theorem is true for n = k, then it has been
shown to be true for n = k + 1.
As de Moivre’s theorem is true for n = 1, it is now proven to
be true for all n ∈ ℤ+ by mathematical induction.

Problem-solving
Without using Euler’s relation, prove that if n is a positive integer,
​​​(r​(cos θ + i sin θ)​)​​​  −n​= ​r​​  −n​​(cos ​(−nθ)​ + i sin ​(−nθ)​)​​
You may assume de Moivre’s
theorem for positive integer
exponents, but do not write
any complex numbers in
exponential form.
1.4 Trigonometric identities
You can use de Moivre’s theorem to derive trigonometric identities.
Applying the binomial expansion to (​​cos θ + i sin θ)n​​ allows you to express cos nθ in terms of powers of
cos θ, and sin nθ in terms of powers of sin θ.

Example 10
Use de Moivre’s theorem to show that
cos 6θ = 32 cos6 θ − 48 cos4 θ + 18 cos2 θ − 1
(cos θ + i sin θ)6 = cos 6θ + i sin 6θ
= cos6 θ + 6C1 cos5 θ(i sin θ) + 6C2 cos4 θ(i sin θ)2
+ 6C3 cos3 θ(i sin θ)3 + 6C 4 cos2 θ(i sin θ)4
+ 6C5 cos θ(i sin θ)5 + (i sin θ)6
= cos6 θ + 6i cos5 θ sin θ + 15i2 cos4 θ sin2 θ
+ 20i3 cos3 θ sin3 θ + 15i4 cos2 θ sin4 θ
+ 6i5 cos θ sin5 θ + i6 sin6 θ
= cos6 θ + 6i cos5 θ sin θ − 15 cos4 θ sin2 θ
− 20i cos3 θ sin3 θ + 15 cos2 θ sin4 θ
+ 6i cos θ sin5 θ − sin6 θ
Equating the real parts gives
cos 6θ = cos6 θ − 15 cos4 θ sin2 θ
+ 15 cos2 θ sin4 θ − sin6 θ
= cos6 θ − 15 cos4 θ(1 − cos2 θ)
+ 15 cos2 θ(1 − cos2 θ)2 − (1 − cos2 θ)3
= cos6 θ − 15 cos4 θ(1 − cos2 θ)
+ 15 cos2 θ(1 − 2 cos2 θ + cos4 θ)
− (1 − 3 cos2 θ + 3 cos4 θ − cos6 θ)
= cos6 θ − 15 cos4 θ + 15 cos6 θ
+ 15 cos2 θ − 30 cos4 θ + 15 cos6 θ
− 1 + 3 cos2 θ − 3 cos4 θ + cos6 θ
= 32 cos6 θ − 48 cos4 θ + 18 cos2 θ − 1
Apply de Moivre’s theorem.
Apply the binomial expansion to
(cos θ + i sin θ)6.
Simplify.
Simplify the powers of i.
The real part of cos 6θ + i sin 6θ is cos 6θ.
Apply sin2 θ ; 1 − cos2 θ,
sin4 θ ; (sin2 θ)2 and sin6 θ ; (sin2 θ)3.
Multiply out the brackets.
Apply a cubic binomial expansion.
Expand the brackets.

Therefore,
cos 6θ = 32 cos6 θ − 48 cos4 θ + 18 cos2 θ − 1

1.6 nth roots of a complex number
You can use de Moivre’s theorem to solve an equation of the form zn = w, where z, w ​∈ ℂ​.
This is equivalent to finding the nth roots of w.
__
__
Just as a real number, x, has two square roots, √​​ x ​​ and −​​√ x ​​, any complex number has n distinct nth roots.
■ If z and w are non-zero complex numbers and n is a positive integer, then the equation zn = w
has n distinct solutions.
You can find the solutions to zn = w using
de Moivre’s theorem, and by considering the fact
that the argument of a complex number is not unique.
Note cos (​θ​ + 2k​π​) = cos ​θ​ and
sin (​θ​ + 2k​π​) = sin ​θ​for integer values of k.
■ For any complex number z = r(cos ​θ​ + i sin ​θ​), you can write z = r(cos (​θ​ + 2k​π​) + i sin (​θ​ + 2k​π​)),
where k is any integer.
Example 15
a Solve the equation z3 = 1.
b Represent your solutions to part a on an Argand diagram.
c Show that the three cube roots of 1 can be written as 1, ω and ω2 where 1 + ω + ω2 = 0.
a​​z​​  3​ = 1​
z3 = cos 0 + i sin 0
(r(cos ​θ​ + i sin ​θ​))3 =
cos (0 + 2k​π​) + i sin (0 + 2k​π​), k ​∈ ℤ​
r3(cos 3​θ​ + i sin 3​θ​) =
cos (0 + 2k​π​) + i sin (0 + 2k​π​), k ​∈ ℤ​
So r = 1
3​θ​ = 2k​π​
k = 0 ​⇒​ ​θ​ = 0, so z1 = ​cos 0 + i sin 0 = 1​

k = 1 ​⇒​ ​θ = ___

Start by writing 1 in modulus−argument form.
Write z in modulus−argument form, and write the
general form of the argument on the right-hand
side by adding integer multiples of 2​π​.
Apply de Moivre’s theorem to the left-hand side
of the equation.
Compare the modulus on both sides to get r = 1.
Compare the arguments on both sides.
Problem-solving
Choose values of k to find the three distinct
roots. By choosing values on either side of
k = 0 you can find three different arguments in
the interval [​ −π, π]​.
These are the cube roots of unity.

2.1 The method of differences
You can use the method of differences to find the sum of a finite series.
■ If the general term, ur, of a series can be expressed in the form
f(r) − f(r + 1)
n
n
You can also start with ur written in the form
f(r + 1) − f(r). After adding and cancelling,
r=1
r=1
you get ​​∑​  u​​
​  r = f(n + 1) − f(1)
then ​∑​  ​​ ur = ​∑​  ​(f(
​ r) − f(r + 1))
u1 = f(1) − f(2)
u2 = f(2) − f(3)
u3 = f(3) − f(4)
⋮
un = f(n) − f(n + 1)
so
n
​​ r = f(1) − f(n + 1)
Then adding ​​∑​  ​u
r=1
Example
n
r=1
​u​ 1​​ + ​u​ 2​​ = f(1) − f(2) + f(2) − f(3)
= f(1) − f(3)
The f(2) terms cancel.
By summing u​ ​ 1​​ + ​u​ 2​​ + … + ​un​  ​​all terms cancel except
the very first term, f(1), and the very last term, f(n + 1).

≡ r 4 + 2r 3 + r 2 − r 4 + 2r 3 − r 2
≡ 4r 3
Start with the RHS.
Expand and simplify the brackets.

n
So ​∑​  ​r​ 3 = __
​​  41  ​​n2(n + 1)2

All the terms cancel except the first and last.
Watch out
When using the method of
differences, be sure to write out enough terms
to make it clear which terms cancel. When you
cancel terms, make sure that they can still be
clearly read. You could cross them out in pencil.
The same result could be proved by mathematical
induction.

b the Maclaurin series expansion of ln (1 + x) converges for −1 , x , 1,
and diverges for x . 1.
2.4 Series expansions of compound functions
You can find the series expansions of compound functions using known Maclaurin series. In the last
exercise you found the Maclaurin series of simple compound functions, such as e​​ 
​​ 3x​​ and ​ln ​(1 + 2x)​​.
However, the resulting series could also be found by replacing x
​ ​ by ​3x​or ​x​ by ​2x​in the known
expansions of ​​e​​  x​​ and ​ln ​(1 + x)​​respectively. When successive derivatives of a compound function are
more difficult, or when there are products of functions involved, it is often possible to use one of the
standard results.

3.1 Improper integrals
If a function f(x) exists and is continuous for all values in the interval [a, b] then the definite integral
​​∫ ​  ​​​f(x) dx represents the area enclosed by the curve y = f(x), the x-axis and the lines x = a and x = b.
b

y = f(x)
Notation
The interval [a, b] is all the real
numbers x satisfying the inequality a < x < b.

A = f(x)dx

O

In this section you will consider integrals where one or both of the limits are infinite, or where the
function is not defined at some point within the given interval. These are called improper integrals.
In these cases it is still possible for the function to enclose a finite area.

■ The integral ∫​​ a​  f​​​ (x) dx is improper if either:
b
• one or both of the limits is infinite
• f(x) is undefined at x = a, x = b or another
point in the interval [a, b].
Notation
If an improper integral exists then it
is said to be convergent. If it does not exist it is
said to be divergent.
You can determine whether improper integrals are convergent, and evaluate them if so,
by considering limits. To find I = ​​∫ ​  ​​​​e​​  −x​dx, you need to consider the integral ∫
​​ ​  ​​​e​​  −x​ dx​, for some finite
t

value t. If this integral tends to a limit as t → ∞ then I is convergent and equal to that limit. If it fails
to tend to a limit, then I is divergent.

3.2 The mean value of a function
You can find the mean of a finite set of values by adding them up, and dividing by the number of
values:
1
​​ y¯​​ = __
n​   ​(​​ y​ 1​​ + ​y​ 2​​ + ​y​ 3​​ + … + ​yn​  ​​)​
You can extend this definition to evaluate the mean value (or average value) of a function on a
given interval [a, b]. In this case, the function takes an infinite number of values, so you represent
their sum by integrating the function between a and b, and you represent the ‘number of values’ by
the width of the interval, b − a.
■ The mean value of the function f(x) over the
∫

Notation
The mean value
_ _ of f(x)
is sometimes written as f​​​​, y ​​
​​  or ​ym

You can think of the mean value geometrically by considering the area, A, bounded by the curve
y = f(x), the x-axis and the
_ lines x = a and x = b. If you were to draw a rectangle with its base on the
interval [a, b] and height f​​​​, then the area of the rectangle would be equal to A.

y = f(x)

The area of the rectangle is (b − a)​​f​​. Setting this equal to the

Chapter 3
If the denominator of a partial fraction includes a quadratic factor of the form (x2 + c), c > 0, you
cannot write it as a product of linear factors with real coefficients.
However, you can still write it in partial fractions, where the partial fraction corresponding to the
quadratic factor has a linear numerator and quadratic denominator.

Find the values of A, B and C by multiplying
both sides by (x + 3)(x2 + 1).
Set x = −3: 20 = 10A ​⇒​ A = 2
Set x = −3 so that (Bx + C )(x + 3) = 0
A + B = 0 ​⇒​ B = −2

u = x2.
A=1
The numerator and denominator both have
degree 4, so this is an improper fraction.
You will need a constant term, and terms with
denominators x2 + 2 and x2 + 3.
B+D=0
Equate coefficients of x4.
3B + 2D = 1
Equate coefficients of x3 and x.
So B = 1 and D = −1
Equate coefficients of x2 and constant terms,
and use A = 1.
5A + C + E = 0
Problem-solving
6A + 3C + 2E = 0
There are other ways of determining the
coefficients. You could find A = 1 by writing
So C = 4 and E = −9

4.3 Volumes of revolution of parametrically defined curves
When the equations of curves are given
parametrically, you can adjust the formulae for
volumes of revolution by using the chain rule.
▪▪ The volume of revolution formed when the
parametric curve with equations x = f(t)
and y = g(t) is rotated through 2π radians
about the x-axis between x = a and x = b is
given by
t=p

∫
Links
For a parametric curve, x and y are each
given as a function of a parameter, t.
← Pure Year 2, Chapter 8
Watch out
After you have used the chain rule,
you are integrating with respect to the parameter,
t. Generally if x = a, then t ≠ a. You can evaluate
the definite integral by rewriting the limits of the
integral in terms of t.
▪▪ The volume of revolution formed by rotating the same curve through 2π radians about the

Polar coordinates
5.1 Polar coordinates and equations
Polar coordinates are an alternative way of describing the position of a point P in two-dimensional
space. You need two measurements: firstly, the distance the point is from the pole (usually the origin O ),
r, and secondly, the angle measured anticlockwise from the initial line (usually the positive x-axis), θ.
Polar coordinates are written as (r, θ).
Notation When working in polar coordinates
y
the axes might also be labelled like this:
θ=
x
P(x, y) or (r, θ)

Initial line
The coordinates of P can be written in either Cartesian form as (x, y) or in polar form as (r, θ).
You can convert between Cartesian coordinates and polar coordinates using right-angled triangle
trigonometry.
From the diagram above you can see that:
■ r cos θ = x
r sin θ = y
Watch out
■ r 2 = x2 + y2
Always draw a sketch diagram
to check in which quadrant the point lies, and
always measure the polar angle from the positive
x-axis.

a r=5
You need to replace r with an equation in x and y.
Use r 2 = x2 + y2. So the equation r = 5 represents
a circle with centre O and radius 5.
Square both sides to get r 2 = 25
So a Cartesian equation is x2 + y2 = 25
b r = 2 + cos 2θ
You need an equation in x and y, so use x = r cos θ.
This means first writing cos 2θ in terms of cos θ.
r = 1 + (1 + cos 2θ)
r = 1 + 2 cos2 θ
Now use x = r cos θ and r 2 = x2 + y2.

Divide by r and simplify.
b x2 − y2 = 5
r2 cos2 θ − r2 sin2 θ = 5
Substitute x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ.
r2 cos 2θ = 5
Use cos 2θ ≡ cos2 θ − sin2 θ.
r2 (cos2 θ − sin2 θ) = 5
So a polar equation is r2 = 5 sec 2θ

This curve is ‘heart’ shaped and is known as a
cardioid.
Since we only draw the curve when r > 0 you
need to determine the values of θ required.
Choose values of θ which give exact values of r.
The values shown here define the first loop of
the curve. The values of r will be the same in the
other two loops.
Problem-solving
The curve given by r = a sin 3θ is typical of the
patterns that arise in polar curves for equations
of the form r = a cos nθ or r = a sin nθ. They will
have n loops symmetrically arranged around O.

Polar coordinates
Curves with equations of the form r = a(p + q cos θ) are defined for all values of θ if p > q. An example
of this, when p = q, was the cardioid seen in Example 6a. These curves fall into two types, those that
are ‘egg’ shaped (i.e. a convex curve) and those with a ‘dimple’ (i.e. the curve is concave at θ = π).
The conditions for each type are given below:
Links
‘egg’ shape when p > 2q
Example
‘dimple’ shape when q < p , 2q
You can prove
these conditions by
considering the number
of tangents to the curve
that are perpendicular to
the initial line.

If p , 2q then there will be two solutions

the curve is not convex and has a dimple.
Find an expression for x and differentiate.
Solve the equation and consider all possible cases.
The two tangents at the two points represented
by these solutions have the same equation.
If p = 2q then the solution is θ = π and so
there are only two tangents (the blue ones).
In this case the curve is convex.
If p . 2q then there is no solution to this
equation and only the two blue tangents are
possible. In this case the curve is convex.
Hence the curve is convex for p > 2q, and
has a dimple for p , 2q.

Given a trigonometric identity, it is generally possible to write down the corresponding hyperbolic
identity using what is known as Osborn’s rule:
• Replace cos by cosh: cos A → cosh A
• Replace sin by sinh: sin A → sinh A
However …
• replace any product (or implied product) of two sin terms by minus the product of two sinh terms:
e.g. sin A sin B → −sinh A sinh B
tan2 A → −tanh2 A
This is the implied product of two sin terms because

transform the equation into an equation in just one
hyperbolic function, so use the basic definitions.

ex = − ​ _21  ​, ex = 4

Problem-solving
For small odd values of n, you can use
∫sinhn x dx = ∫sinhn−1 x sinh x dx.
∫coshn x dx, for odd values of n, can be found
similarly.
Sometimes the exponential definition of a hyperbolic function can be used to find a given integral.

In general, if you can write a linear first-order differential equation in the form
dy
___
​​   ​ + P(x)y = Q(x)​
dx
where P(x) and Q(x) are functions of x, and the function P(x) can be integrated, then it is possible to
find an integrating factor which will convert the left-hand side of the equation into an exact derivative
of a product. Suppose that the integrating factor has the form f(x), then
dy
​f(x) ​ ___ ​ + f(x)P(x)y = f(x)Q(x)​
Multiply the equation by the integrating factor ​f(x)​.
dx
In order for the left-hand side to be the derivative of the product f(x)y it must have the form
dy
​f(x) ​ ___ ​ + f ′(x)y​. You can see that f(x)P(x) must be equal to f ′(x), so:

Divide both sides by ​f(x)​and integrate.

When you have integrated and found the general solution, you can let the arbitrary constant take
different numerical values, thus generating particular solutions.
In some questions you will be given a boundary condition, such as y = 1 when x = 0. You can use this
to find the value of the constant. Different boundary conditions will give rise to different particular

The general solution to this secondorder differential equation needs two arbitrary
constants. If you wanted to find a particular
solution you would need to know two boundary
conditions.

This suggests that an equation of the form y = Aekx might also be a solution of the second-order
dy
​d​​  2​y
differential equation ​a ​ ____2 ​ + b ​ ___ ​ + cy = 0​. But it cannot be the general solution, as it only contains
dx
d​x​​  ​
one arbitrary constant. Since two constants are necessary for a second-order differential equation,
you can try a solution of the form ​y = A​e​​  λx​ + B​e​​  μx​​, where A and B are arbitrary constants and λ and μ
are constants to be determined.

​​  2​y
​  2 ​ = A​λ​​  2​​e​​  λx​ + Bμ2​e​​  μx​

Substituting these into the differential equation gives
a(Aλ2eλx + Bμ2eμx) + b(Aλeλx + Bμeμx) + c(Aeλx + Beμx) = 0
aA​λ​​  2​ ​e​​  λx​ + aB​μ​​  2​​e​​  μx​ + bAλ ​e​​  λx​ + bBμ​e​​  μx​ + cA​e​​  λx​ + cB​e​​  μx​ = 0
A​e​​  λx​​(a​λ​​  2​ + bλ + c)​ + B​e​​  μx​(aμ2 + bμ + c) = 0
This shows that the equation ​y = A​e​​  λx​ + B​e​​  μx​​will satisfy the original differential equation if both
λ and μ are solutions to the quadratic equation ​a​m​​  2​ + bm + c = 0​.
The equation ​a​m​​  2​ + bm + c = 0​is called the auxiliary equation.
■■ The natures of the roots α and β of the auxiliary equation, am2 + bm + c = 0 determine the

general solution to the differential equation a ​ ____2 ​ + b ​ ___ ​ + cy = 0.

You need to consider three different cases:
•• Case 1: b​​ ​​ 2​> 4ac​
The auxiliary equation has two distinct real roots α and β. The general solution will be of
the form ​y = A​e​​  αx​ + B ​e​​  βx​​ where A and B are arbitrary constants.
•• Case 2: ​​b​​  2​ = 4ac​
The auxiliary equation has one repeated root α. The general solution will be of the form
​y = (A + Bx) ​e​​  αx​​ where A and B are arbitrary constants.
•• Case 3: ​​b​​  2​< 4ac​
Links Case 3 is equivalent to y = Aeαx + Beβx
The auxiliary equation has two complex
with complex α and β. → Exercise 7B, Challenge
conjugate roots α and β equal to ​p ± q i​.
The general solution will be of the form
Note If the roots are purely imaginary ( p = 0), the
​y = ​e​​  px​ (A cos qx + B sin qx)​ where A and B
general solution reduces to ​y = A cos qx + B sin qx​
are arbitrary constants.

dx
dx
4λxe2x + 4λe2x − 5(2λxe2x + λe2x) + 6λxe2x = e2x
⇒ −λe2x = e2x
⇒ λ = −1
So a particular integral is −xe2x.
The general solution is y = Ae3x + Be2x − xe2x.
​​ 
Watch out
Let the P.I. be λxe2x and differentiate,
substitute and solve to find λ.
The general solution is y = C.F. + P.I.
When one of the roots of the auxiliary equation is 0, the complementary function will contain a
constant term. If f(x) is a polynomial, you will need to multiply its particular integral by x to make
sure the P.I. does not also contain a constant term.

Try to find a particular integral. The righthand side of the original equation was 3,
which was a constant and usually this would
imply a constant P.I.

The particular integral cannot be λex,
as this is part of the complementary function,

dy
d2y
Then ​​ ___ ​​ = λxex + λex and ____
​​  2 ​​ = λxex + λex + λex
dx
dx
2y
d
Substitute into ____
​​  2 ​​ − y = 2ex:
dx
λxex + λex + λex − λxex = 2ex
⇒ λ=1
So a particular integral is xex.
The general solution is
y = Aex + Be−x + xex
Since y = 0 at x = 0, 0 = A + B
⇒ A+B=0
Differentiating y = Aex + Be−x + xex with respect
to x gives
dy
​  ___  ​ = Aex − Be−x + ex + xex
dx
dy
Since ​  ___  ​ = 0 at x = 0, 0 = A − B + 1
dx
⇒ A − B = −1

___
​   ​ = 0 at x = 0, into the derivative of the

Solve the two equations to find values for A and B.

Example 16

​ ___
dt
dt
d2x
First consider the equation ____
​​  2 ​​ + x = 0.
dt
m2 + 1 = 0 ⇒ m = ±i
So, the complementary function is
x = A cos t + B sin t.
The particular integral is λ sin 2t,
so let x = λ sin 2t.
dx
d2x
Then ___
​​   ​​ = 2λ cos 2t and ​​ ____
 ​​ = −4λ sin 2t
dt
dt 2
d2x
Substitute into ____
​​  2 ​​ + x = 3 sin 2t:
dt
−4λ sin 2t + λ sin 2t = 3 sin 2t
⇒ λ = −1
Solve the auxiliary equation to find the values of m.
Watch out
Normally you would need to try a
particular integral of the form λ sin 2t + μ cos 2t
for this equation. However, in this case you are
told that there is a particular integral in the form
λ sin 2t.

Chapter 7
So a particular integral is −sin 2t.
The general solution is
x = A cos t + B sin t − sin 2t
Since x = 0 at t = 0, A = 0.
Differentiating x = B sin t − sin 2t with
respect to t gives
dx
___
​​   ​​ = B cos t − 2 cos 2t
dt
dx
Since ​​ ___ ​​ = 1 at t = 0, 1 = B − 2
dt
⇒ B=3
Use general solution = complementary function +
particular integral.
Substitute the initial condition, x = 0 at t = 0, into
the general solution to obtain A = 0.
dx
Substitute the second initial condition, ___
​​   ​​ = 1 at
dt
t = 0, into the derivative of the general solution,
to obtain a second equation leading to B = 3.
And so x = 3 sin t − sin 2t is the required

Modelling with differential equations
8.1 Modelling with first-order differential equations
First-order differential equations can be used to model problems in kinematics. You have covered
some of these contexts in A level mathematics and you have learned the following relationships
between displacement, velocity and acceleration:
ds
dv
​v = ___
​  ​​​a = ___
​  ​
dt
dt
where s is the displacement of a particle, v is the velocity and a is the acceleration at time t.
You can use these relationships to construct first-order differential equations which you can
solve using the standard methods of direct integration and separation of variables from A level
mathematics, or the method of integrating factors covered in Chapter 7 of this book.
Example

When t = 0, v = 0:

When t = 0, s = 0:
0 = − 6 ln 2 + d ⇒ d = 6 ln 2
s = 3t − 6 ln (t + 2) + 6 ln 2
∫
Write the given relationship as a first-order
differential equation.
Integrate both sides with respect to t. Notice that
this equation can be solved by direct integration.
Remember to include the constant of integration.
Use the initial conditions to find the value of c.
Set up another first-order differential equation

​​   ​​ = v.
dt
Solve this differential equation, again using
standard methods, and include a second constant
of integration. You are told that the particle starts
from rest at the origin so your initial conditions
are s = 0 when t = 0.

Modelling with differential equations
First-order differential equations can also be used to model other real-life situations involving rates
of change.
You might need to construct or analyse models based on situations other than kinematics in your exam.
Example

A storage tank initially contains 1000 litres of pure water. Liquid is removed from the tank at a
constant rate of 30 litres per hour and a chemical solution is added to the tank at a constant rate of
40 litres per hour. The chemical solution contains 4 grams of copper sulphate per litre of water.
Given that there are x grams of copper sulphate in the tank after t hours and that the copper
sulphate immediately disperses throughout the tank on entry,

c Explain how the model could be refined.
a Litres of liquid in the tank after t hours is given by

Let x grams be the amount of copper sulphate in
the tank after t hours.

Integrating factor = ​​e​​  ​∫​ ​  Pdt​​ = ​e​​  ​∫​ ​  ​ 100+t ​ dt​​​
​= ​e​​  3ln(100+t)​

So the original equation becomes

dt
⇒​​(100 + t)​​  3​ x = 40 ​(100 + t)​​  4​ + c​
When t = 0, x = 0,
0 = 4 000 000 000 + c ⇒ c = −4 × 109
After 6 hours,
​​(106)​​  3​ x = 40 × ​(106)​​  4​ − 4 × ​10​​  9​

Write down the amount of liquid in the

8.2 Simple harmonic motion
You can use second – order differential equations to model particles moving with simple harmonic motion.
■■ Simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.) is motion in which the acceleration of a particle P is always
towards a fixed point O on the line of motion of P. The acceleration is proportional to the
displacement of P from O.
The point O is called the centre of oscillation.
We write ẍ = −ω2x

always directed towards O.

8.3 Damped and forced harmonic motion
You can refine the model for simple harmonic motion by adding an additional force which is
proportional to the velocity of the particle. When this force acts so as to slow the particle down it is
known as a damping force, and the motion of the particle is known as damped harmonic motion.

There are three separate cases corresponding to

this as x

This is an example of a second-order
homogeneous differential equation. You can solve
equations like this by considering the auxiliary
equation.
← Section 7.2
When k 2 . 4ω 2 there are two distinct real roots for the auxiliary equation. This is known as heavy
damping. In this case there will be no oscillations performed as the resistive force is large compared
with the restoring force.
When k 2 = 4ω 2 the auxiliary equation has equal roots. This is known as critical damping. Again there
will be no oscillations performed.
When k 2 , 4ω 2 the auxiliary equation has complex roots. This is known as light damping and is the
only case where oscillations are seen. The amplitude of the oscillations will decrease exponentially
over time.
For heavy and critical damping the exact nature of the motion will depend on the initial conditions
given.
For light damping the period of the observed oscillations can be calculated.

A particle P of mass 0.5 kg moves in a horizontal straight line. At time t seconds, the displacement of
P from a fixed point, O, on the line is x m and the velocity of P is v m s−1. A force of magnitude 8x N

8.4 Coupled first-order simultaneous differential equations
In some real-life situations rates of change of two variables are connected. For example, in a predator–
prey model, the rate of change of the population of bears might be dependent on both the number
of bears and the number of fish in a river. Simultaneously, the rate of change of the number of fish
might be dependent on both the number of bears and the number of fish. In this case, you have two
dependent variables, the number of bears and fish, and one independent variable, time. You can set up
two first-order differential equations to model the rates of change of the numbers of bears and fish.
Letting the number of bears at time t be x and the number of fish at time t be y, you can write:
dx
​​  ___ ​ = ax + by + f(t)
Notation If f(t) and g(t) are both zero, the
dt
system is said to be homogenous.
dy
​  ___ ​ = cx + dy + g(t)​
dt
These equations are called coupled first-order linear differential equations and you can solve
them simultaneously to find x and y as functions of t.
■■ You can solve coupled first-order linear differential equations by eliminating one of the
dependent variables to form a second-order differential equation.

Problem-solving
You do not need to go through the whole process
to find an expression for y in terms of t. If you
differentiate your answer to part b with respect
dx
to t you will have expressions for x and ___
​​   ​​ in
dt
terms of t only. You can substitute these into
equation (1) and simplify to obtain the answer.
Use the initial conditions to find A and B.
Substitute t = 10 into the equation for x. Round
to the nearest whole number.

Two barrels contain contaminated water. At time t seconds, the amount of contaminant in barrel
A is x ml and the amount of contaminant in barrel B is y ml. Additional contaminated water flows
into barrel A at a rate of 5 ml per second. Contaminated water flows from barrel A to barrel B and
from barrel B to barrel A through two connecting hoses, and drains out of barrel A to leave the
system completely.

RHS = ​r​​  1e
​​ ​​  iθ​ = r​e​​  iθ​
As LHS = RHS, the equation holds for n = 1.
Assume the equation holds for n = k, k ∈ ​ℤ​​  +​.
i.e. ​(r​e​​  iθ​)​​  k​= ​r​​  ke
​​ ​​  ikθ​
With n = k + 1, the equation becomes
​(r​e​​  iθ​)​​  k+1​ = ​(r​e​​  iθ​)​​  k​ × r​e​​  iθ​= ​r​​  ke
​​ ​​  ikθ​ × r​e​​  iθ​= ​r​​  k+1e

Therefore, the equation holds when n = k + 1.
If the equation holds for n = k, then it has been shown
to be true for n = k + 1.
As the equation holds for n = 1, it is now also true for

2 n = 1; LHS = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
RHS = ​r​​  1​(cos θ + i sin θ) = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
As LHS = RHS, the equation holds for n = 1.
Assume the equation holds for n = k, k ∈ ​ℤ​​  +​.
i.e. ​z​​  k​= ​r​​  k​ (cos kθ + i sin kθ)
With n = k + 1, the equation becomes:
​z​​  k+1​= ​z​​  k​ × z
= rk(cos kθ + i sin kθ) × r(cos θ + i sin θ)
= rk+1​(​(cos kθ cos θ − sin kθ sin θ) + i(sin kθ cos θ + cos kθ sin θ))​​
= rk+1(cos(k + 1) θ + i sin (k + 1) θ)
by the addition formulae.
Therefore, the equation holds when n = k + 1.

If the equation holds for n = k, then it has been shown to
be true for n = k + 1.
As the equation holds for n = 1, it is now also true for all
n ∈ ​ℤ​​  +​by mathematical induction.

= cos5 θ + 5i cos4 θ sin θ – 10 cos3 θ sin2 θ
– 10i cos2 θ sin3 θ + 5 cos θ sin4 θ + i sin5 θ
Equating real parts:
cos 5θ = cos5 θ – 10 cos3 θ sin2 θ + 5 cos θ sin4 θ
= cos5 θ – 10 cos3 θ(1 – cos2 θ) + 5 cos θ(1 – cos2 θ)2
= 16 cos5 θ – 20 cos3 θ + 5 cos θ
b x = 0.809, −0.309, −1
3 a cos 5θ + i sin 5θ = (cos θ + i sin θ)5
= cos5 θ + 5i cos4 θ sin θ – 10 cos3 θ sin2 θ
– 10i cos2 θ sin3 θ + 5 cos θ sin 4θ + i sin 5θ
Equating imaginary parts:
sin 5θ = 5 cos4 θ sin θ – 10 cos2 θ sin3 θ + sin5 θ
= sin θ(5 cos4 θ – 10 cos2 θ sin2 θ + sin4 θ)
= sin θ(5 cos4 θ – 10 cos2 θ(1 – cos2 θ) + (1 – cos2 θ)2)

= 2​(​2​​  k+2)​​+ 2​(​3​​  2k+1​)​+ 7​(​3​​  2k+1​)​
​= 2f(k) + 7​(​3​​  2k+1​)​​which is divisible by 7 and this is
the result for n = k + 1.
