THERESA’S CONVENT SECONDARY FOUR EXPRESS / FIVE NORMAL(ACADEMIC) 2022 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PAPER 1 3 1 A spherical bath bomb of radius r cm is dissolving in such a way that the total surface area, A cm2, is decreasing at a rate of 12 cm2/s. Assuming that the bath bomb retains its shape, calculate the rate of change of r when 5r , leaving your answer in terms of π. [4] 2 The equation of a curve is 22 5y x kx , where k is a constant, and the equation of a line is 3 10 0y x .
