1 A surface, S, is defined in 3-D by z = f(x, y) where f(x, y) = 12x - 30y + 6xy .
(a) Determine the coordinates of any stationary points on the surface. [5]
(b) The equation z = f(x, a), where a is a constant, defines a section of S.
Given that this equation is z = 24x + b, find the value of a and the value of b. [3]
The diagram shows the contour z = 12 and its associated asymptotes.

(c) Find the equations of the asymptotes. [3]
(d) By forming grad g, where g(x, y, z) = f(x, y) - z , find the equation of the tangent plane to S
at the point where x = 3 and y = 2. Give your answer in vector form. [3]
The point (0, 4, -120), which lies on S, is denoted by A.

2 (a) Determine the general solution of the recurrence relation 2un +2 - 7un +1 + 3un = 0. [2]
(b) Using your answer to part (a), determine the general solution of the recurrence relation
2un+2 - 7u n +1 + 3u n = 20n2 + 60n. [5]
In the rest of this question the sequence u0, u1, u2, ... satisfies the recurrence relation in part
(b).You are given that u0 =-9 and u1 =-12.
(c) Determine the particular solution for un . [3]
You are given that, as n increases, once the values of un start to increase, then from that point
onwards the sequence is an increasing sequence.
(d) Use your answer to part (c) to determine, by direct calculation, the least value taken by
terms in the sequence. You should show any values that you rely on in your argument. [2]
