Simplify completely: \[\frac{2x^2 - 5x - 3}{x^2 - 9} \div \frac{4x^2 - 1}{2x^2 + 6x}\]
查看答案详解

解题

First, factorise each quadratic and binomial expression:
\(2x^2 - 5x - 3 = (2x + 1)(x - 3)\)
\(x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3)\)
\(4x^2 - 1 = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)\)
\(2x^2 + 6x = 2x(x + 3)\)

Now substitute these factorised forms into the expression:
\[\frac{(2x + 1)(x - 3)}{(x - 3)(x + 3)} \div \frac{(2x - 1)(2x + 1)}{2x(x + 3)}\]

Simplify the first fraction by cancelling the common factor \((x - 3)\):
\[\frac{2x + 1}{x + 3} \div \frac{(2x - 1)(2x + 1)}{2x(x + 3)}\]

To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:
\[\frac{2x + 1}{x + 3} \times \frac{2x(x + 3)}{(2x - 1)(2x + 1)}\]

Cancel the common factors \((2x + 1)\) and \((x + 3)\):
\[\frac{2x}{2x - 1}\]

评分标准

Rearrange the formula to make \(v\) the subject: \[u = \sqrt{\frac{5v + w}{v - 2}}\]
查看答案详解

解题

Square both sides to eliminate the square root:
\[u^2 = \frac{5v + w}{v - 2}\]

Multiply both sides by \((v - 2)\):
\[u^2(v - 2) = 5v + w\]
\[u^2v - 2u^2 = 5v + w\]

Group the terms with \(v\) on one side:
\[u^2v - 5v = 2u^2 + w\]

Factorise \(v\) on the left-hand side:
\[v(u^2 - 5) = 2u^2 + w\]

Divide by \((u^2 - 5)\):
\[v = \frac{2u^2 + w}{u^2 - 5}\]

评分标准

M1 for squaring both sides: \(u^2 = \frac{5v + w}{v - 2}\).
M1 for isolating \(v\) terms on one side: \(u^2v - 5v = 2u^2 + w\).

查看答案详解

解题

The \(y\)-intercept of the line is \(5\), which corresponds to the point \((0, 5)\).
Thus, the line passes through the points \((4, -3)\) and \((0, 5)\).

Find the gradient, \(m\):
\[m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{5 - (-3)}{0 - 4} = \frac{8}{-4} = -2\]

Since the \(y\)-intercept is \(5\), \(c = 5\).
The equation of the line is:
\[y = -2x + 5\]

3
The line \(L_1\) has equation \(3x - 2y = 8\). The line \(L_2\) is perpendicular to \(L_1\) and passes through the point \((-6, 7)\). Find the equation of \(L_2\), giving your answer in the form \(ax + by = d\), where \(a\), \(b\) and \(d\) are integers.
查看答案详解

解题

First, find the gradient of \(L_1\). Rearrange the equation of \(L_1\) into the form \(y = mx + c\):
\[3x - 2y = 8 \implies 2y = 3x - 8 \implies y = \frac{3}{2}x - 4\]
So, the gradient of \(L_1\) is \(m_1 = \frac{3}{2}\).

Since \(L_2\) is perpendicular to \(L_1\), its gradient \(m_2\) satisfies:
\[m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1} = -\frac{2}{3}\]

The equation of \(L_2\) passing through \((-6, 7)\) is:
\[y - 7 = -\frac{2}{3}(x - (-6))\]
\[y - 7 = -\frac{2}{3}(x + 6)\]

Multiply both sides by \(3\) to clear the fraction:
\[3(y - 7) = -2(x + 6)\]
\[3y - 21 = -2x - 12\s] Rearrange into the form \(ax + by = d\): \[2x + 3y = 9\]

评分标准

A sector of a circle of radius \(12\text{ cm}\) has an area of \(54\pi\text{ cm}^2\). Calculate the perimeter of this sector. Leave your answer as a multiple of \(π\) plus an integer.
查看答案详解

解题

Let the sector angle be \(\theta^\circ\) and the radius be \(r = 12\text{ cm}\).
The formula for the area of a sector is:
\[\text{Area} = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2\]

Substitute the given values:
\[54\pi = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi (12)^2\]
\[54 = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 144\]
\[\frac{\theta}{360} = \frac{54}{144} = \frac{3}{8}\]

Now, calculate the arc length, \(L\):
\[L = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \pi r = \frac{3}{8} \times 2 \pi (12) = 9\pi\text{ cm}\]

The perimeter of the sector includes the arc length and two radii:
\[\text{Perimeter} = L + 2r = 9\pi + 2(12) = 9\pi + 24\text{ cm}\]

评分标准

M1 for finding the fraction of the circle \(\frac{\theta}{360} = \frac{3}{8}\) (or finding \(\theta = 135^\circ\)).

An arc of a circle with radius \(15\text{ cm}\) has a length of \(8\pi\text{ cm}\). Calculate the angle of the sector, in degrees.
查看答案详解

解题

The formula for the arc length \(L\) of a sector with angle \(\theta^\circ\) and radius \(r\) is:
\[L = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \pi r\]

Substitute \(r = 15\) and \(L = 8\pi\):
\[8\pi = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \pi (15)\]
\[8\pi = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 30\pi\]

Divide both sides by \(\pi\):
\[8 = \frac{30\theta}{360}\]
\[8 = \frac{\theta}{12}\]
\[\theta = 8 \times 12 = 96^\circ\]

评分标准

M1 for setting up the equation \(8\pi = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 30\pi\) or equivalent.

A curve has the equation \(y = 2x^2 + 12x - 5\). By completing the square, find the coordinates of the minimum point of this curve.
查看答案详解

解题

First, factorise the coefficient of \(x^2\) out of the \(x\)-terms:
\[y = 2(x^2 + 6x) - 5\]

Complete the square inside the bracket:
\[x^2 + 6x = (x + 3)^2 - 3^2 = (x + 3)^2 - 9\]

Substitute this back into the equation:
\[y = 2[(x + 3)^2 - 9] - 5\]
\[y = 2(x + 3)^2 - 18 - 5\]
\[y = 2(x + 3)^2 - 23\]

The minimum point of the curve occurs when the squared term \((x + 3)^2 = 0\), which gives \(x = -3\).
At \(x = -3\), the value of \(y\) is \(-23\).
Therefore, the coordinates of the minimum point are \((-3, -23)\).

评分标准

M1 for correctly factorising \(2(x^2 + 6x) - 5\).
M1 for completing the square to get \(2(x+3)^2 - 23\).

The line \(y = 2x + k\) is a tangent to the curve \(y = x^2 - 4x + 12\). Find the value of the constant \(k\).
查看答案详解

解题

Since the line is a tangent to the curve, equate the two equations to find their intersection:
\[x^2 - 4x + 12 = 2x + k\]
\[x^2 - 6x + (12 - k) = 0\]

For the line to be a tangent, this quadratic equation must have exactly one real root, which means its discriminant \(\Delta = 0\):
\[\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = 0\]
\[(-6)^2 - 4(1)(12 - k) = 0\]
\[36 - 48 + 4k = 0\]
\[-12 + 4k = 0\]
\[4k = 12 \implies k = 3\]

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point \((4, -3)\) and is parallel to the line with equation \(3x + 2y = 8\).
Give your answer in the form \(y = mx + c\).
查看答案详解

解题

First, find the gradient of the line \(3x + 2y = 8\) by rewriting it in the form \(y = mx + c\):

$$2y = -3x + 8$$

$$y = -1.5x + 4$$

The gradient, \(m\), of the parallel line is also \(-1.5\).

Substitute the gradient \(m = -1.5\) and the point \((4, -3)\) into the equation \(y = mx + c\) to find \(c\):

$$-3 = -1.5(4) + c$$

$$-3 = -6 + c$$

$$c = 3$$

Thus, the equation is \(y = -1.5x + 3\).

评分标准

M1 for finding the gradient of \(-1.5\) (or \(-\frac{3}{2}\))
A1 for the final equation \(y = -1.5x + 3\) (or equivalent with fractions)

A sector of a circle has a radius of \(12\text{ cm}\) and a perimeter of \(38\text{ cm}\).
Calculate the sector angle, \(\theta\). Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.
查看答案详解

解题

The perimeter of a sector is given by:

$$\text{Perimeter} = 2r + \text{arc length}$$

Substitute the given values to find the arc length:

$$38 = 2(12) + \text{arc length}$$

$$38 = 24 + \text{arc length}$$

$$\text{Arc length} = 14\text{ cm}$$

The formula for the arc length of a sector is:

$$\text{Arc length} = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r$$

Substitute the arc length and the radius into the formula:

$$14 = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi (12)$$

$$14 = \frac{24\pi\theta}{360}$$

$$14 = \frac{\pi\theta}{15}$$

$$\theta = \frac{14 \times 15}{\pi} \approx 66.845^\circ$$

To 1 decimal place, \(\theta = 66.8^\circ\).

A quadratic curve is defined by the equation \(y = x^2 - 8x + 15\).
Find the coordinates of the turning point of this curve.
查看答案详解

解题

Method 1: Complete the square on the quadratic expression:

$$x^2 - 8x + 15 = (x - 4)^2 - 16 + 15$$

$$y = (x - 4)^2 - 1$$

This is in vertex form \(y = (x - h)^2 + k\), where the vertex (turning point) is \((h, k)\).
Therefore, the turning point is \((4, -1)\).

Method 2: Use differentiation:

$$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - 8$$

At the turning point, \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\):

$$2x - 8 = 0 \implies x = 4$$

Substitute \(x = 4\) back into the original equation:

$$y = 4^2 - 8(4) + 15 = 16 - 32 + 15 = -1$$

Thus, the coordinates are \((4, -1)\).

$$3w - 3 = w\sqrt{t} + \sqrt{t}$$

Factorise \(\sqrt{t}\) on the right side:

$$3w - 3 = \sqrt{t}(w + 1)$$

Divide by \((w + 1)\):

$$\sqrt{t} = \frac{3w - 3}{w + 1}$$

Square both sides to solve for \(t\):

[3]

(b) Calculate the area of the sector swept out by the pendulum.
[2]

(c) The pendulum's swing area is to be reduced by 15% by shortening the length of the string, while keeping the angle $\theta = 26.7^\circ$ constant. Calculate the new length of the pendulum.
[4]

(d) For this shortened pendulum, find the new arc length of the swing.
[3]
查看答案详解

解题

(a) Arc length = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r => 35 = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi \times 75 => \theta = \frac{35 \times 360}{150\pi} \approx 26.738 \approx 26.7^\circ

(b) Area of sector = \frac{1}{2} \times r \times \text{arc length} = \frac{1}{2} \times 75 \times 35 = 1312.5\text{ cm}^2 (or using 26.7: \frac{26.7}{360} \times \pi \times 75^2 \approx 1310.6\text{ cm}^2)

(c) New area = 1312.5 \times 0.85 = 1115.625\text{ cm}^2. Since area is proportional to $r^2$ when the angle is constant: R^2 = 75^2 \times 0.85 => R = 75 \times \sqrt{0.85} \approx 69.146 \approx 69.1\text{ cm}

(d) New arc length = \frac{26.738}{360} \times 2\pi \times 69.146 \approx 32.3\text{ cm}

评分标准

(a) M1 for arc length formula substitution: \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi \times 75 = 35
M1 for rearranging for \theta
A1 for showing 26.738... which rounds to 26.7

[4]

(c) The toy is made of wood with a density of $0.75\text{ g/cm}^3$. Calculate the mass of the toy in kilograms.
[3]
查看答案详解

解题

(a) Height of the cone, $h = \sqrt{10^2 - 6^2} = 8\text{ cm}$. Volume of cone = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3}\pi (6^2)(8) = 96\pi \approx 301.6\text{ cm}^3. Volume of cylinder = \pi r^2 H = \pi (6^2)(10) = 360\pi \approx 1131.0\text{ cm}^3. Total volume = 96\pi + 360\pi = 456\pi \approx 1432.6 \approx 1430\text{ cm}^3.

(b) Curved surface area of cone = \pi r l = \pi (6)(10) = 60\pi \approx 188.5\text{ cm}^2. Curved surface area of cylinder = 2\pi r H = 2\pi (6)(10) = 120\pi \approx 377.0\text{ cm}^2. Total surface area (excluding bottom base and joined surfaces) = 60\pi + 120\pi = 180\pi \approx 565\text{ cm}^2.

(c) Mass = Volume \times Density = 456\pi \times 0.75 = 342\pi\text{ grams} \approx 1074.4\text{ grams} = 1.07\text{ kg}.

查看答案详解

解题

(a) PR^2 = 120^2 + 150^2 - 2(120)(150)\cos(74^\circ) = 14400 + 22500 - 36000(0.275637) = 36900 - 9922.95 = 26977.05 => PR = \sqrt{26977.05} \approx 164.25 \approx 164\text{ m}.

(b) Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 120 \times 150 \times \sin(74^\circ) = 9000 \sin(74^\circ) \approx 8651.4 \approx 8650\text{ m}^2.

(c) (i) In right-angled triangle TQP: \tan(18^\circ) = \frac{TQ}{120} => TQ = 120\tan(18^\circ) \approx 38.99 \approx 39.0\text{ m}.

(ii) In right-angled triangle TQR: \tan(\alpha) = \frac{TQ}{QR} = \frac{38.99}{150} \approx 0.2599 => \alpha = \arctan(0.2599) \approx 14.57^\circ \approx 14.6^\circ.

A company designs a logo. The logo consists of a major sector of a circle with radius \(R = 8.4\text{ cm}\) and sector angle \(135^\circ\).

(a) Calculate the perimeter of the sector. [3]

(b) The sector is folded so that the straight edges meet to form a cone. Calculate:
(i) the base radius, \(r\), of the cone, [3]
(ii) the height, \(h\), of the cone. [3]

(c) Calculate the volume of the cone. [3]
查看答案详解

解题

\((a)\) Arc length of the sector: \(L = \frac{135}{360} \times 2 \times \pi \times 8.4 = 6.3\pi \approx 19.792\text{ cm}\).
Perimeter of the sector = \(L + 2R = 19.792 + 2(8.4) = 36.592 \approx 36.6\text{ cm}\).

\((b)(i)\) The arc length of the sector becomes the circumference of the base of the cone:
\(2\pi r = 6.3\pi \implies r = 3.15\text{ cm}\).

\((b)(ii)\) The radius of the sector is the slant height, \(l\), of the cone:
\(l = 8.4\text{ cm}\).
Using Pythagoras' theorem to find the height, \(h\):
\(h = \sqrt{l^2 - r^2} = \sqrt{8.4^2 - 3.15^2} = \sqrt{70.56 - 9.9225} = \sqrt{60.6375} \approx 7.787 \approx 7.79\text{ cm}\).

\((c)\) Volume of the cone:
\(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3}\pi (3.15)^2 (7.787) \approx 80.917 \approx 80.9\text{ cm}^3\).

解题

\((a)\) Gradient of \(AB\), \(m = \frac{11 - 3}{6 - 2} = \frac{8}{4} = 2\).
Using point \((2, 3)\) in \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\):
\(y - 3 = 2(x - 2) \implies y = 2x - 1\).

\((b)\) Midpoint \(M = \left(\frac{2+6}{2}, \frac{3+11}{2}\right) = (4, 7)\).

\((c)\) Gradient of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal of the gradient of \(AB\):
\(m_{\perp} = -\frac{1}{2} = -0.5\).
Using the midpoint \((4, 7)\):
\(y - 7 = -0.5(x - 4) \implies y = -0.5x + 9\).

\((d)\) Point \(P\) is the y-intercept: when \(x = 0\), \(y = 9 \implies P(0, 9)\).
Point \(Q\) is the x-intercept: when \(y = 0\), \(0 = -0.5x + 9 \implies x = 18 \implies Q(18, 0)\).
Distance \(PQ = \sqrt{(18 - 0)^2 + (0 - 9)^2} = \sqrt{324 + 81} = \sqrt{405} \approx 20.1\text{ units}\).

解题

\((a)(i)\) Time = \(\frac{180}{x}\)
\((a)(ii)\) Time = \(\frac{180}{x + 15}\)

\(\frac{180}{x} - \frac{180}{x + 15} = 1\)
Multiply both sides by \(x(x + 15)\):
\(180(x + 15) - 180x = x(x + 15)\)
\(180x + 2700 - 180x = x^2 + 15x\)
\(x^2 + 15x - 2700 = 0\) (as required)

\((c)\) Factorizing \(x^2 + 15x - 2700 = 0\):
\((x - 45)(x + 60) = 0\)
So \(x = 45\) or \(x = -60\).
Since speed must be positive, \(x = 45\text{ km/h}\).

\((d)\) Outward time = \(\frac{180}{45} = 4\text{ hours}\).
Return time = \(\frac{180}{60} = 3\text{ hours}\).
Total time = \(4 + 3 = 7\text{ hours}\).
