Find an expression for the velocity of $P_1$ at time $t$.

Particle $P_2$ also moves in a straight line. The position of $P_2$ is given by $\mathit{r}=\left(\begin{array}{c}-1\\ 6\end{array}\right)+t\left(\begin{array}{c}4\\ -3\end{array}\right)$.

The speed of $P_1$ is greater than the speed of $P_2$ when $t>q$.

Find the value of $q$.

Show that $f\text{'}\text{'}\left(x\right)=\frac{24-6x^2}{{\left(x^2+4\right)}^2}$.

Find the least value of $n$.

Find $\int \frac{6x}{x^2+4}\text{d}x$.

Let $R$ be the region enclosed by the graph of $f$, the $x$-axis and the lines $x=1$ and $x=3$. The area of $R$ is $19.6$, correct to three significant figures.

Find $f\left(x\right)$.

Find $\frac{{\text{d}}^{2}y}{d{x}^2}$.

The curve has a point of inflexion at $\left(a, b\right)$.

Find the value of $a$.

A camera at point C is 3 m from the edge of a straight section of road as shown in the following diagram. The camera detects a car travelling along the road at $t$ = 0. It then rotates, always pointing at the car, until the car passes O, the point on the edge of the road closest to the camera.

A car travels along the road at a speed of 24 ms⁻¹. Let the position of the car be X and let OĈX = θ.

Find $\frac{\text{d}\theta }{\text{d}t}$, the rate of rotation of the camera, in radians per second, at the instant the car passes the point O .
