3 Answer all the questions. Section A (41 marks) 1 A man bought a new car. The value of the car depreciated with time so that its value, $,P after t months’ use is given by 175 000 , ktPe −= where k is a constant. (a) Find the value of the car, $,P when the man bought it. [1] The value of the car is expected to be $162 000 after eight months’ use. (b) Show that 0.01.k = [2] (c) Use the result from part (b) to determine the age of the car correct to the nearest month, when its value reached half of the original value when the man bought it. [2]
4 2 A calculator must not be used in this question. (a) Show that cot15 3 2.= + [4] (b) Use the result from part (a) to find an expression for 2cosec 15 , in the form 3pq+ where p and q are integers. [2]
5 3 Given that 22 0 532 d , 24 m xxe e x − −= where m is a positive constant, (a) show that 424 12 5 0.mmee − + = [3] (b) Use the result from part (a) and a suitable substitution to find the value of .m [4]
6 4 The point A lies on the curve ln .y x x= The tangent to the curve at A is parallel to the line 2 3.yx=+ (a) Find the exact coordinates of .A [4] The normal to the curve lny x x= at A meets the line 23yx=+ at the point .B (b) Show that the -coordinatex of B is ( )2,ke − where k is a constant to be found. [3]
7 5 (a) Prove the identity 1 cos 2 sin 2 tan .1 cos 2 sin 2 xx xxx −+ =++ [3] (b) Hence solve the equation 1 cos 2 sin 2 3cot 21 cos 2 sin 2 xx xxx −+ =++ for 0 180 .x [4]
8 6 The diagram shows two rods AB and BC rigidly hinged at B so that angle 90 .ABC= The lengths of AB and BC are 2 cm and 8 cm respectively. The point C is fixed on horizontal ground and the rod BC rotates in a vertical plane with the rod BC inclined at an angle to the ground. (a) Show that the height, cm,h of A above the ground is given by sin cos ,h a b =− where a and b are integers to be found. [2]
9 (b) Using the values of a and b found in part (a), express h in the form ( )sin ,R − where 0R and 0. 2 [4] (c) Hence, state the maximum value of h and find the corresponding value of . [3]
