A Level Maths A* Exam Questions
This is Question 8 from the Jan 2007 C3 paper (OCR 4753). It is one of the harder questions on the paper and is included here as part of the A* collection — the questions most likely to discriminate between an A and an A* grade.
This question brings together Functions, Further Differentiation and Exponentials and Logarithms. Strong candidates are expected to move fluently between these topics within a single multi-part question, so it is a good test of synoptic understanding.
