(2) The souvenir is made using 1m3 of superior clay. (3) The external surface of the souvenir must be coated with a special-mixed glow paint. Find the dimensions of the souvenir, in m, such that the amount of special paint n e e d e d i s t h e m i n i m u m . [ 7 ]
[Solution] Let the length of the square base be x m and the height of the cuboid be y m. Volume of cuboid = 1 m3 2 2 11xy y x ---(1) To minimise use of paint, surface area S, has to be kept at a minimum. 224Sx x y ---(2) Sub (1) into (2): 22 2 1424 2Sx x x x x 2 d4 4d S xx x 2 23 d8 4d S x x For S to be minimum, Set d 0d S x 3 2 440 1 0xx x 1x When x = 1, 2 1 1y x , 2 23 d8 41 2 0d S xx Therefore, the required dimension is 1m by 1m by 1m. 6 A contagious disease was found to infect a village with a population of 10000 people. Let P, in thousands, be the number of infected people t days after the start of the outbreak. The disease spread at a rate that is proportional to the product of the number of infected people and the number of non-infected people. It was found that when P reaches half the initial population of the village, the disease is spreading at a rate of 1000 people per day. Show that the spread of the disease can be modelled by the differential equation 2 25 5d d2 5 PP t . [ 2 ] Given that 100 people are infected by the disease initially, find P in terms of t. [3] Explain what will happen to the village population in the long term. [2] [Solution] d 10d P kP Pt When P = 5,

7 A convergent geometric sequence of positive terms, G has first term a and common ratio r. Write down, in terms of a and r, an expression for the nth odd-numbered term of G. [ 1 ] If the sum of first n odd-numbered terms of G is equal to the sum of all terms of G after the nth odd-numbered term, show that 22 121 0nnrr . (i) Hence find the value of r when 5n . [ 3 ] (ii) In another sequence H, each term is the reciprocal of the corresponding term of G. If the nth term of G and H is denoted by nu and nv respectively, show that a new sequence whose nth term is ln n n u v , is an arithmetic progression. [ 4 ] [Solution] The nth odd numbered term would be 22 21 n nUa r . Given that nn nUU U U U 13 2 12 2 1 ie nn n naa r a r a r a r a r 22 2 2 1 2 2 1 n nar ar rr 2 21 2 1 11 nnrr rr r 22 11 11 1 nnrr r 22 111 nnrr 22 121 0 [Shown] When n 5 , we have rr 10 921 0 So r 1 (NA convergent series) or .0 892
Now 1 11 n nV ar . Letting the nth term of the new sequence be nT , we have ln ln lnn nn n n UTU V V ln ln ln ln 111an r an r ln ln 22 1an r ln ln ln ln 1 22 1 22 2nnTT a n r a n r ln r 2 , a constant Hence the new sequence is an arithmetic progression. 8 The functions f and g are given by f : x 2 81 3xx , x , x 4 , g : x a e x , x . (i) Show that 1f exists and express 1f in a similar form, stating the domain c l e a r l y . [ 3 ] (ii) Determine the largest integer value of a such that fg exists. [2] Alternative: ln ln ln ln ln ln ln ln ln ln constant n nn n n n n n n nn n n n UTU V U U UV arTT U U r ar 1 11 2 2 22 2 2
(iii) For the largest value of a obtained in (ii), find fg(x) and state the domain and t h e r a n g e o f f g . [ 4 ] [Solution] (i) Any horizontal line y = k, k , cuts the graph at most once, therefore f is a one-one function. Thus, 1f exists. Let y = 2 81 3 , 4xx x = 2 43x 43xy 43xy or 43xy (rej 4x ) 1f : x 43 x , 3x (ii) For fg to exist, gfRD = ,4 Largest integer value of a = 4 (iii) fg f 4 e xx = 2 4e 8 4e 1 3xx = 216 8e e 32 8e 13xx x = 2e3 x fg gDD fgR3 , OR 2 2 4e 4 3 e3 x x Provided you are confident with your Complete the Square.
