[1] (i) Given that the two loci intersect at exactly one point, show that k = a or kb where a and b are real constants to be determined. [3] (ii) In the case when k takes the value of a, find the complex number representing the point of intersection, in the form x + iy, where x and y are exact. [3] [Solution] Locus – half line with correct argument and excluded point, passes through origin The locus of w is a circle centered at (0, -1) and radius k units. (i) Two loci intersect exactly at one point: k CD or k AC In triangle ACD: π 3sin 62 3 CD CD and 3AC , 3 2k or k 3 i.e. 3 2a , 3b (ii) Consider triangle BCD: BCD = π π π 2 6 3 π 3 1 3cos 3 2 2 4BC k , π 3 3 3sin 3 2 2 4BD k At point D : 3 3 1, (1 )4 4 4xy , complex number representing point D = 31 i44 B D –1 π 6 Re Im locus of z 5π 6 k A( 3, 1 ) C O locus of w

[4] (b) Mr Tan set aside $80,000 for his two sons. On the first day of the year that his sons turned 7 and 17 years old, he deposited $ x into the younger son’s bank account and the remaining sum of money into the elder son’s bank account. Mr Tan adds a further $1000 into the younger son’s account on the first day of each subsequent year. The bank pays a compound interest at a rate of 2% per annum on the last day of each year. Each son will withdraw the full sum of money from his account (after interest had been added) on the last day of the year that he turns 21 years old. (i) Find the amount of money the elder son will withdraw in terms of x. [1] (ii) Show that the younger son will withdraw 15 14$ 1.02 51000 1.02 1x . [3] Find the valu e of x if Mr Tan wanted both sons to receive the same withdrawal amount, giving your answer to the nearest integer.

Water is pumped into the tank at a constant rate such that if no water flows out, the tank can be filled up in time T seconds. Water flows out at a rate which is proportional to the depth of water in the tank. At time t seconds, the depth of water in the tank is x metres. When the depth of water is 1 metre, it remains at this constant value. Show that d (1 )d x kxt , where k is a constant in terms of H and T. [2] Find x in terms of t, H and T.
