2 Mathematical Formulae 1. ALGEBRA Quadratic Equation For the quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0, Binomial expansion , where n is a positive integer and 2. TRIGONOMETRY Identities Formulae for ∆ABC
3 [Turn over 1 Solve the equation for . [5] x = 0.253, 1.57, 2.89 2 The diagram shows two circles and with centres P and Q respectively. Both circles and is tangent to the x axis at R (1.5, 0). The radius of is 6 units. (i) Find the coordinates of the centre, P of circle . [1] P = (ii) Find the equation of the circle . [1] (iii) Given that the area of is 18 times the area of , find the coordinates of the centre, Q of . [3] Q = (1.5, ) P(1.5,6) x Q R(1.5, 0) R a d i u s
4 3 (i) Using , show that . [3] (ii) State the amplitude and period of . [2] Amplitude = 2 Period = 120 (iii) Sketch the graph of for . [3]
5 [Turn over 4 A glass of hot water was left to cool in the fridge. The temperature, T C, of the water decreases with time, t minutes. The table shows the measured values of T and t. t (min) 10 20 30 40 50 T (C) 60 37 23 14 9 It is known that t and T are related by the equation where a and k are constants. (i) Explain clearly how a and k can be calculated when a graph of ln T against t is drawn. [2] k = gradient ln a is the ln T – intercept, c ln a = c a = t (min) 10 20 30 40 50 ln T (C) 4.09 3.61 3.14 2.64 2.20 (ii) On the grid below, plot ln T against t for the given data and draw a straight line graph. [2] t ln T 5 4 3 2 4.55
6 Use your graph to estimate (iii) the value of a and of k. [3] k = 0.04725 ln a is the ln T – intercept, c a = (iv) the temperature of the water at the beginning of the experiment. [1] Temperature = 94.6C 5 A bus travelling on a straight road passes a traffic light at junction P with speed 11 m/s and, 2 minutes later, passes another traffic light at junction Q with speed 21 m/s. During the journey from P to Q, the acceleration, , where k is a constant and t seconds is the time after passing P. (i) Show that . [5] Speed = 11 m/s 2 min later Speed = 21 m/s P Q At P, t = 0, v = 11 At Q, t = 2 min, v = 21m/s (ii) Find the distance between P and Q. [4] At P, t = 0, s = 0 c = 0 10 20 30 40 50
7 [Turn over Distance = 3080 m 6 The diagram shows a circle passing through the points A, B and C. The point B lies on the line SC. ST is a tangent to the circle at A. The points E and F lie on AB and AC respectively. Given that EF is parallel to ST, show that BCFE is a cyclic quadrilateral. [5] BAS = ACB (Alternate segment Theorem) M1 [Alt segment] BAS = AEF (Alternate angles, EF//ST) M1 [Alternate s] BEF = 180 AEF (Adjacent angles on a straight line) BEF = 180 BAS = 180 ACB ACB + BEF = ACB + 180 ACB ACB + BEF =180 M1 CAT = ABC (Alternate segment Theorem) CAT = EFA (Alternate angles, EF//ST) EFC = 180 EFA (Adjacent angles on a straight line) EFC = 180 CAT = 180 ABC ABC + EFC = ABC + 180 ABC ABC + EFC =180 M1 Since ACB + BEF =180 (angles in opposite segments) M1 and ABC + EFC =180 (angles in opposite segments) Therfore BCFE is a cyclic quadrilateral.

8 7 The equation of a polynomial given is by . (i) Find the remainder when f(x) is divided by x + 1. [1] Remainder = 8 (ii) Show that 3x 1 is a factor of f(x). [1] Since , therefore 3x 1 is a factor of f(x). (iii) Show that the equation f(x) = 0 has only one real root. [4]
9 [Turn over or Since . Hence f(x) = 0 has only one real root. A1 (iv) Use your answers to parts (ii) and (iii) to solve the equation . [4] y = 1.58 (3SF)
10 8 A contractor was given 240m of fencing for a playground, He designed the playground ABCDEF consisting of a rectangle ABCF and an isosceles trapezium CDEF. Given that AB = 12 m, DE = 6 m, CD = EF = 5x m and BC = y m. (i) The contractor used 240 m of fencing to enclose the playground. Express y in terms of x. [1] (ii) Show that the enclosed area, A , of the playground is given by . [2] Height of trapezium = Area = Area = 6 E D 5x 5x C F y A B 12
