    10. Expand 1 + x in ascending powers of
    2
    x up to and including the term in x 2. State the
    8
    range of x for which the expansion is valid. Hence by writing x = 1 in your expansion, show

    that 2 ≈ 256 . [5]

    11. Complete the following proof by contradiction to show that 2 is irrational.

    Assume that 2 is rational. Then 2 may be written in the form a, wher e a and b are positive
    integers having no common factor. b

    ∴ a 2 = 2b2.

    ∴ a 2 has a factor 2.

    ∴ a has a factor 2 so that a = 2k,

    where k is an integer. [4]
