Explanation:
In this thread, we will try to collectively provide solutions for the questions from the STEP Maths I, II and III papers from 1996, seeing as no solutions are available on the net.

If you want to contribute, simply find a question which is marked with "unsolved" above (you might want to check for new solutions after the time the list was last updated as well), solve it, and post your solution in the thread. I will try to update the list as often as possible. If you have a solution to a question that uses a different idea from one already posted, submit it as well, as it's often useful to see different approaches to the same problem.

If you find an error in one of the solutions, simply say so, and hope that whoever wrote the solution in the first place corrects it.

STEP II Q4

$\displaystyle cos4u = 2cos^22u - 1 = 2(2cos^2u - 1)^2 = 2(4cos^4u - 4cos^2u + 1) - 1$
$\displaystyle cos4u = 8cos^4u - 8cos^2u + 1$

$\displaystyle I = \int_{-1}^{1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x} + \sqrt{1 - x} + 2} dx$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -sint$

$\displaystyle I = \int_{\pi}^{0} \frac{-sint}{\sqrt{1+cost} + \sqrt{1 - cost} + 2} dt$

$\displaystyle I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{sint}{\sqrt{2cos^2\frac{t}{2}} + \sqrt{2sin^2\frac{t}{2}} + 2} dt = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{sint}{\sqrt{2}cos\frac{t}{2} + \sqrt{2}sin\frac{t}{2} + 2} dt$

$\displaystyle Rcos\left(\frac{t}{2} + \alpha\right) = Rcos\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)cos\alpha - Rsin\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)sin\alpha$

$Rcos\alpha = \sqrt{2}$
$Rsin\alpha = -\sqrt{2}$

$\alpha = -\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\displaystyle I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{sint}{2cos(\frac{t}{2} - \frac{\pi}{4}) + 2} dt = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{sint}{4cos^2(\frac{t}{4} - \frac{\pi}{8})} dt$

$\displaystyle u = \frac{t}{4} - \frac{\pi}{8}$
$\displaystyle \frac{du}{dt} = \frac{1}{4}$

$\displaystyle I = \int_0^\pi \frac{sint}{4cos^2(\frac{t}{4} - \frac{\pi}{8})} dt = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{8}}^{\frac{\pi}{8}} \frac{sin(4u + \frac{\pi}{2})}{cos^2u} du$

$sin(4u + \frac{\pi}{2}) = sin4ucos\frac{\pi}{2} + cos4usin\frac{\pi}{2} = cos4u$

$\displaystyle I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{8}}^{\frac{\pi}{8}} \frac{8cos^4u - 8cos^2u + 1}{cos^2u} du = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{8}}^{\frac{\pi}{8}} 8cos^2u - 8 + sec^2u \,du$

$\displaystyle I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{8}}^{\frac{\pi}{8}} 4cos2u - 4 + sec^2u \,du = \left[2sin2u - 4u + tanu\right]_{-\frac{\pi}{8}}^{\frac{\pi}{8}}$

$I = 4\sqrt{2} - \pi - 2$

STEP I Question 3

i) f(n) = n^5 - n^3 = n^3(n^2 - 1)
= n^3(n+1)(n-1)
One of n-1, n, n+1 must be divisible by three, therefore f(n) is.
If n is even, n^3 is divisible by 8, so f(n) is divisible by 24.
If n is odd, n+1, n-1 are divisible by 2 and one of them is divisible by 4.
Therefore f(n) is divisible by 2*4*3 = 24.

ii) g(n) = (2^n + 1)(2^n - 1)
2^n is not divisible by 3, but one of (2^n - 1), 2^n and 2^n + 1 must be.
Therefore g(n) must be divisible by 3.

iii) h(n) = n^3 - 1 = (n-1)(n^2+n+1). n-1 = 0 mod 3. n = 1 mod 3.
n^2 + n + 1 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 0 mod 3.
h(n) has two factors each divisible by 3 and is therefore divisible by 9.

STEP I Question 7

i) dy/dt = -ky; k>=1
lny = C - kt
y = e^(C-kt) = Ae^(-kt)
When t = 0, y = 1
1 = A
y = e^(-kt)
y = [e^(-k)]^t
Let b = e^(-k)
y = b^t
Since k>=1, b<=1/e, b<1

ii) dy/dt = a - ky
dy/dt = a + ylnb
dy/dt - ylnb = a
Integrating factor = e^(-tlnb)
e^(-tlnb)dy/dt + e^(-tlnb)y(-lnb) = ae^(-tlnb)
d/dt[ye^(-tlnb)] = ae^(-tlnb)
ye^(-tlnb) = -(a/lnb)e^(-tlnb) + C
When t = 0. y = 1
1 = C - (a/lnb)
C = 1 + (a/lnb)
ye^(-tlnb) = -(a/lnb)e^(-tlnb) + (a/lnb) + 1
y = -(a/lnb) + (a/lnb)e^(tlnb) + e^(tlnb)
y = [1 + (a/lnb)]b^t - (a/lnb)

STEP I Question 8

i) S = 0.38383838...
= 38/100 + 38/(100)^2 + 38/(100)^3 + ...
= [38/100]/[1-(1/100)]
= (38/100)/(99/100)
= 38/99.

ii) x = 0.a1a2...aNb1b2b3...bkb1b2...bkb1..
= 0.a1a2...aN + 0.000...000b1b2...bkb1...
= a1a2...aN/(10^N) + 0.b1b2...bkb1.../(10^N)
But 0.b1b2...bkb1...
= b1b2...bk/(10^k) + b1b2...bk(10^k)^2 + ...
= [b1b2...bk/10^k]/[1 - 1/(10^k)]
= b1b2...bk/(10^k - 1)
So x = a1a2...aN/(10^N) + b1b2...bk/(10^N)(10^k - 1)
Since a1a2...aN and b1b2...bk integers, x is rational.

STEP II Question 2

Let a = yz, b = zx, c = xy.

I: 2a + b - 5c = 2
II: a - b + 2c = 1
III: a - 2b + 6c = 3

I-2II = 3b - 9c = 0, b = 3c
I-2III = 5b - 17c = -4
-2c = -4
c = 2
b = 6
a = 1 - 4 + 6 = 3
abc = 36
(xyz)^2 = 36
xyz = +- 6

Factors of +- 6 must be +- 1, 2, 3 or 1, 1, 6.
Since yz = 3 and xy = 2; 1, 1, 6 is not possible.
Therefore a, b, c are +- 1, 2, 3.
|y| = 1 clearly, so |z| = 3 and |x| = 2.
Since xy, yz, zx are all > 0,
(x,y,z) = (2,1,3) or (-2,-1,-3).

Aux quadratic is m²-1 = 0 ie m=±1.
If h(x) = kx, then h(x) = -2x.
So h(x) = Ae^x + Be^-x -2x.
h(0) = 0=A+B -0
h`(0) = -2 =A-B - 2
So A+B = 0 and A-B = 0, so A and B are both 0.
h(x) = -2x

2f(x) = g(x) + h(x)

f(x) = 2cosx - cos2x - x

After several attempts, I have a solution to Paper I, Q5. I think I must have missed something obvious though - this was very hard work. (Though largely because it is so easy to make a mistake; the written up answer probably won't look too bad).

Step QI, P5.

(i) $(r+s\sqrt{3})=4-2\sqrt{3} \implies r^2+3s^2+2rs\sqrt{3} = 4-2\sqrt{3}$ . Suppose $rs \neq -1$ . Then
$r^2+3s^2-4 = -2(1+rs)\sqrt{3}$ would give us a rational expression for $\sqrt{3}$ , contradiction.

So $rs=1, \text{ so } s = -1/r \text { and so } r^2+3/r^2 = 4 \implies r^4-4r^2+3 = 0\\ \implies r^2 = 1, 3$ .

As r is rational, $r^2 = 1, \text{ so } r = \pm 1, s = -r$ . (i.e. our solutions are $\pm(1-\sqrt{3})$ .

(ii) $(p+qi)^2 = p^2-q^2+2pqi = 3-2\sqrt{3} + 2(1-\sqrt{3})i$ . So
$p^2-q^2 = 3-2\sqrt{3}, pq = 1-\sqrt{3}$ . Again, we set up the quadratic and get:
$p^4-(3-2\sqrt{3})p^2-(1-\sqrt{3})^2 = 0$ . Use the quadratic formula to get:
$2p^2 = (3-2\sqrt{3}) \pm \sqrt{(3-2\sqrt{3})^2+4(1-\sqrt{3}))^2}$
Now $(3-2\sqrt{3})^2 = 3^2+4\cdot 3 - 12\sqrt{3} = 21 - 12\sqrt{3}, \quad (1-\sqrt{3})^2 = 1 + 3 - 2 \sqrt{3} = 4-2\sqrt{3}$ .
So $(3-2\sqrt{3})^2+4(1-\sqrt{3}))^2 = 37 - 20 \sqrt{3}$ .

As in (i), we need to find the square root of this, so look for rational $\alpha, \beta$ with $(\alpha+\beta\sqrt{3})^2 = 37 - 20\sqrt{3}$ .

We find $\beta = -10/\alpha$ and end up with a quadratic $\alpha^4 - 37\alpha^2+300=0$ . Solve to find $\alpha^2 = 12, 25$ and since we want $\alpha$ rational deduce $\alpha = \pm 5$ and so the square root is $\pm(5-2\sqrt{3})$ .

Plugging this back in, we have

$2p^2 = (3-2\sqrt{3}) \pm (5-2\sqrt{3}) = -2, 8-4\sqrt{3}$ .

Since p is real, we take the latter root, dividing by 2 and using (i) we find $p = \pm (1-\sqrt{3})$ . Use $pq = (1-\sqrt{3})$ to get final solutions $\pm (1-\sqrt{3}+i)$ .

(iii) Again, use the quadratic formula:

Unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula. Error 4: no dvi output from LaTeX. It is likely that your formula contains syntax errors or worse.

2z=2\pm\sqrt{4 - 4(1+i)(2\sqrt{3}-2)} \\ \implies z = 1 \pm \sqrt{1 - (1+i)(2\sqrt{3}-2)} = 1 \pm \sqrt{3-2\sqrt{3}+2(1-\sqrt{3})i)

.

Using (ii),
$z = 1 \pm (1-\sqrt{3}+i) = \sqrt{3} - i, 2-\sqrt{3}+i$ .

Step II, Q3:

F0 = 0, F1 =1, F2 = F0+F1 = 1, F3 = F1 + F2 = 2, F4 = F3 + F2 = 3, F5 = 5, F6 = 8, F7 = 13.

F0.F2-F1^2 = -1, F1.F3-F2^2 = 1, F2.F4-F3^2 = -1.

Claim $F_{n+1}F_{n-1}-F_n^2 = (-1)^n$ . Proof by induction on n.
By above, true for n<=3. Assume true for n = k. Then
$F_{k+2}F_k - F_{k+1}^2 \\ = (F_{k+1}+F_k)F_k - F_{k+1}^2 \\ = F_k^2 +F_{k+1}F_k - F_{k+1}^2 = F_k^2 - F_{k+1}(F_{k+1} - F_k) \\ = [F_{k+1}F_{k-1}+(-1)^{k+1}] - F_{k+1}(F_{k+1} - F_k) \\ = (-1)^{k+1} + F_{k+1}F_{k-1} - F_{k+1}(F_{k-1})\\ = (-1)^{k+1}F_{k+1}^2$

So true for n=k+1 and so true for all n by induction.

Want to show $F_{n+k} = F_kF_{n+1}+F_{k-1}F_n$ . Assume true for 1 < k <=m. Then
$F_{n+k+1} = F_{n+k}+F_{n+k-1}\\ = F_kF_{n+1}+F_{k-1}F_n + F_k-1F_{n+1}+F_{k-2}F_n\\ =(F_k+F_{k-1})F_{n+1}+(F_{k-1}+F_{k-2}F_n \\ =F_{k+1}F_{n+1}+F_k F_n$ .

So true for k=m+1.

Explictly when k=1 we have $F_{n+1} = F_1F_{n+1}+F_0F_n = F_{n+1}$ . So true for k=1, so true for all k.

I would guess it's a response to the increasing capabilities of calculators: graphing, algebra, programmability. Rather than try to rule out the "super calculators", simpler to just ban them all, and make sure the questions don't need them.

I think Siklos also says there was a tendancy for the weaker candidates to just blindly throw everything into the calculator without thinking too much.

Paper II question 6

We can easily see that the proper factors of 12 are 2, 3, 4, 6 and those of 16 are 2, 4, 8.

Let M be a positive factor of N (not necessarily proper), Then f can be written as

$M = p_1^{n_1}p_2^{n_2}p_3^{n_3}\cdot P_r^{n_r}$

where $0 \leq n_i \leq m_i$ for all $1 \leq i \leq r$ .

For each of the i, there are

ways of choosing the integers

, for a total number of F possible factors of N:

$F = (m_1+1)(m_2+1)(m_3+1)\cdot(m_r+1)$

Each of these must be unique since prime factorisation is unique. But now we've counted the two "improper" factors 1 and N as well, so we need to remove these, and the total number of proper factors is

$(m_1+1)(m_2+1)(m_3+1)\cdot(m_r+1) - 2$ .

(i) For the total number of proper factors to be 12, we must have

$(m_1+1)(m_2+1)(m_3+1)\cdot(m_r+1) = 14$

which means that, r must be 2 and

, or vice versa, or

In the latter case, the smallest integer that has only one prime factor repeated 13 times is

. In the former case, clearly, to minimise N, we need to take as small prime factors as possible, and make sure that the smaller of the two factors is raised to power 6, i.e. the minimum is $N = 2^6\cdot3$ . This is less that

, and so $N = 2^6\cdot3$ is our answer.

(ii) Okay. The smallest integer is $120 = 2^3\cdot3\cdot5$ . But it seems that every attempt to prove this either boils down to a huge awful grind, or a complete orgy of hand-waving. The only slightly rigorous proof I've found is the one I'm going to make below, but it uses the inequality between the arithmetic and geometric means, which says (in the case of 3 numbers, which is the case I'm going to use):

For any positive reals a, b, c, we have

$\displaystyle \frac{a + b + c}{3} \geq \sqrt[3]{abc}$

but then, I'm not sure I'm allowed to use this.

Anyway, basically, we first note that the number of factors depend only on the number of times the prime factors are occuring in N, but not on what the prime factors actually are. To minimise the number N, we thus need to make sure that we use the smallest prime factors available, and make sure that we have the highest exponents in our smallest prime factors, i.e. we want

$p_1 = 2, p_2 = 3, p_3 = 5, p_4 = 7, \ldots$ and

$m_1 \geq m_2 \geq m_3 \geq m_4 \geq \cdots$

Now, we note that $2^3\cdot3\cdot5$ satisfies the requirements (it has 14 proper factors). This shows that our minimum can't have prime factors higher than or equal to 7, because we have already established that the minimum satisfies $m_1 \geq m_2 \geq m_3 \geq m_4 \geq \cdots$ , which means that the smallest possible N with a prime factor of 7 is $2\cdot3\cdot5\cdot7$ . But this is larger than $2^3\cdot3\cdot5$ and hence is not the minimum. Thus we can assume that

$N = 2^{m_1}\cdot3^{m_2}\cdot5^{m_3}$ .

Now, because we want 12 or more proper factors, we have to have

$(m_1 + 1)(m_2 + 1)(m_3 + 1) \geq 14$

Together with the arithmetic-geometric means inequality, this means that

$m_1 + 1 + m_2 + 1 + m_3 + 1 \geq 3\sqrt[3]{14}$

which means that

$m_1 + m_2 + m_3 \geq 5$

(calculators were allowed, remember? :p:

)

Now we basically list the numbers with $m_1 + m_2 + m_3 \geq 5$ in rising order, and note that none of the ones below $2^3\cdot3\cdot5$ can have 12 proper factors or more:

32 = 2^5 has 4 proper factors
48 = 2^4*3 has 8 proper factors
64 = 2^6 has 5 proper factors
96 = 2^5*3 has 10 proper factors
120 = 2^3 * 3 * 5 has 14 proper factors

and thus 120 is our desired minimum.

So, there ought to be a better way of showing this last part. Ideas, anyone?

Do you think receiving Teacher Assessed Grades will impact your future?

I'm worried it will negatively impact me getting into university/college

I'm worried that I’m not academically prepared for the next stage in my educational journey

I'm worried it will impact my future career

I'm worried that my grades will be seen as ‘lesser’ because I didn’t take exams

I don’t think that receiving these grades will impact my future

I think that receiving these grades will affect me in another way (let us know in the discussion!)
