Answer only one of the following two alternatives. EITHER The diagram shows an isosceles triangle AOB and a sector OCDEO of a circle with centre O. The line AB is a tangent to the circle. Angle AOB = 1.8 radians and the radius of the circle is 12 cm. OR The diagram shows part of the curve y=xsinx and the normal to the curve at the point P(π/2, π/2). The curve passes through the point Q(π, 0).

  1. (EITHER)(i)Show that the distance AC = 7.3 cm to 1 decimal place.[2]
  2. (EITHER)(ii)Find the perimeter of the shaded region.[6]
  3. (EITHER)(iii)Find the area of the shaded region.[4]
  4. (OR)(i)Show that the normal to the curve at P passes through the point Q.[4]
  5. (OR)(ii)Given that (d/dx)(xcosx) = cosx – xsinx, find ∫xsinxdx.[3]
  6. (OR)(iii)Find the area of the shaded region.[5]
