Find, in degrees, the general solution of the equation sin x sin 5 x = 2sin x cos x . Expand (16 + x ) 4 in descending powers of x . Your expansion need only include the first three terms of the expansion. Determine if the expansion is valid when the value of x is 20. Support your answer with a reason.

Each term of an arithmetic series is added to the corresponding term of a geometric series to form a third series, S, whose first three terms are 56, 52 and 55. The first term of the arithmetic series is equal to the first term of the geometric series. If the geometric series converges, find the common difference of the arithmetic series and the common ratio of the geometric series. [5]
