[1] (ii) Show that the point P with coordinates ( 4cos, 3sin ) lies on E. [1] (iii) Find the equation of the normal to the ellipse E at the poin t P, in the form of y mx c where m and c are single trigonometric expressions of . [3] Solution: (i) 229 16 144xy 18 32 0 dyxy dx 9 16 dy x dx y (ii) Since 2 2 2 29 16 9(4cos ) 16(3sin )xy 22144(cos sin ) 144 Hence, point P lies on C.

TJC_JC2_H2_Maths_2012_Prelim_Paper_1_Solution 3 HIMHEYS' Confectionery recently created three types of chocolate: Organic white, Organic milk and Organic dark, available in 250g bars. Cocoa butter, an essential ingredient in chocolate bars, makes up 25%, 20% and 15% of the mass o f an Organic white, Organic milk and Organic dark chocolate bar respectively. To prepare for the official launch of the ir chocolate bars at an upcoming Food Expo, HIMHEYS' decides to manufacture a total of 300 bars for the event, with more than 70 bars of each type. The confectionary intends to use 14kg of cocoa butter in the production of t he above batch of chocolate bars. I f the number of milk chocolate bars is to be smaller than the number of white chocolat e bars, d etermine how many organic chocolate bars of each type can be produced. [6] Solution: Let D, M and W be the number of dark, white and milk chocolate bars (250g organic) respectively. 300D M W -------- (1) 15 20 25250 250 250 14000100 100 100D M W ie. 3D + 4M +5W =1120 -------- (2) Solving (1) and (2): 80 , 220 2D W M W Given 70, 70, 70D W M W , 70 220 2 WW 73.3 75W Since D, M and W are integers, we get 74, 72, 154W M D

The points P on OA and Q on AB are such that OP = 2 PA and 5AQ = 4 QB. Show that the equation of the line l passing through P and Q can be written as r = 2 43 a b a , where . [4] The point X on l is such that AX is perpendicular to l. If 2, 1ab and a is perpendicular to b, show that the position vector of X is 1 11 415 ab . [4] Solution: Since OP = 2PA, 2 3OP a Since 5AQ = 4QB, therefore AQ:QB=4:5 Using Ratio Theorem, 54 9OQ ab 54 99 a + b 14 99PQ OQ OP ab 1 49 ba Since the line passes through P and is // 4 ba therefore an equation of l is r = 2 43 a b a where l Î Since X lies on l, we have 2 43OX t a b a for a particular value of t Since AX is perpendicular to l, 40AX ba 2 4 4 03 t a b a a b a 1 4 4 03 tt a b b a Since a and b are perpendicular, 0 ab 221 16 03 tt ab 1 4 16 03 tt 1 15t 2 1 1 4 11 43 15 15OX a b a a b

Determine whether each of the following function s exists and give a definition (including the domain) of the function if it exists. (a) 1f , (b) gf . [9] Solution: (a) Any horizontal line ,y k k cuts the graph of ()y f x at most once, so by the horizontal line test, f is 1-1. Therefore 1f exists.
