Find the \(n\)-th term of the sequence: \(3, 8, 15, 24, 35, \dots\)
查看答案詳解收起答案詳解
解題
First differences: \(8-3=5\), \(15-8=7\), \(24-15=9\), \(35-24=11\). Second differences: \(7-5=2\), \(9-7=2\), \(11-9=2\). Since the second difference is constant and equal to \(2\), the sequence is quadratic with leading term \(an^2\) where \(2a = 2 \implies a = 1\). Comparing the sequence with \(n^2 = 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, \dots\), the difference is \(3-1=2\), \(8-4=4\), \(15-9=6\), \(24-16=8\), \(35-25=10\). This difference sequence \(2, 4, 6, 8, 10, \dots\) has \(n\)-th term \(2n\). Therefore, the \(n\)-th term of the original sequence is \(n^2 + 2n\).

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to \(2y - 3x = 8\) that passes through the point \((6, -1)\). Write your answer in the form \(y = mx + c\).
查看答案詳解收起答案詳解
解題
Rearrange the given line equation to gradient-intercept form: \(2y = 3x + 8 \implies y = \frac{3}{2}x + 4\). The gradient of this line is \(m_1 = \frac{3}{2}\). The gradient \(m_2\) of a perpendicular line satisfies \(m_1 \times m_2 = -1\), so \(m_2 = -\frac{2}{3}\). Using the point \((6, -1)\) in the equation \(y = mx + c\): \(-1 = -\frac{2}{3}(6) + c \implies -1 = -4 + c \implies c = 3\). Thus, the equation is \(y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 3\).

查看答案詳解收起答案詳解
解題
Part (a): For Sequence A, the common difference is \(3\), so the next term is \(17 + 3 = 20\). For Sequence B, the successive differences are \(4, 6, 8, 10\), so the next difference is \(12\), giving \(30 + 12 = 42\). Part (b)(i): Sequence A is a linear sequence with a common difference of \(3\). The first term is \(5\), so the \(n\)-th term is \(3n + 2\). Part (b)(ii): Sequence B has second differences equal to \(2\), indicating a quadratic sequence of the form \(n^2 + bn + c\). Let us find \(b\) and \(c\): for \(n=1\), \(1 + b + c = 2\); for \(n=2\), \(4 + 2b + c = 6\). Solving this system yields \(b = 1\) and \(c = 0\), so the \(n\)-th term is \(n^2 + n\). Part (b)(iii): Sequence C is geometric with first term \(3\) and common ratio \(2\), so the \(n\)-th term is \(3 \times 2^{n-1}\). Part (c): Set \(n^2 + n = 500\), which gives the quadratic equation \(n^2 + n - 500 = 0\). Using the quadratic formula, \(n = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(1)(-500)}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{2001}}{2}\). This yields \(n \approx 21.87\) or \(n \approx -22.87\). Since the position \(n\) must be a positive integer, there is no term in Sequence B equal to 500.

查看答案詳解收起答案詳解
解題
Part (a): The radius \(r = 3\text{ cm}\). The total height is \(11\text{ cm}\), so the height of the cylinder is \(h = 11 - r = 8\text{ cm}\). Volume of the cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h = \pi (3^2)(8) = 72\pi\). Volume of the hemisphere = \(\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{2}{3}\pi (3^3) = 18\pi\). Total volume = \(72\pi + 18\pi = 90\pi\text{ cm}^3\). Part (b): Total surface area includes the base of the cylinder, the curved surface of the cylinder, and the curved surface of the hemisphere. Base area = \(\pi r^2 = 9\pi\). Cylinder curved area = \(2\pi r h = 2\pi (3)(8) = 48\pi\). Hemisphere curved area = \(2\pi r^2 = 18\pi\). Total surface area = \(9\pi + 48\pi + 18\pi = 75\pi \approx 235.62\text{ cm}^2\), which is \(236\text{ cm}^2\) to 3 s.f. Part (c): Mass = density \(\times\) volume = \(0.75 \times 90\pi \approx 212.06\text{ g}\), which is \(212\text{ g}\) to 3 s.f. Part (d): The scale factor of heights is \(22 / 11 = 2\). Since volume is proportional to the cube of the scale factor, the volume of the larger toy is \(2^3 \times 90\pi = 720\pi \approx 2261.95\text{ cm}^3\), which is \(2260\text{ cm}^3\) to 3 s.f.

Part (c): Midpoint \(M = \left(\frac{-2 + 4}{2}, \frac{5 - 3}{2}\right) = (1, 1)\). Part (d): The gradient of the perpendicular line is \(-\frac{1}{m} = \frac{3}{4}\). It passes through the midpoint \((1, 1)\). The equation is \(y - 1 = \frac{3}{4}(x - 1) \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{3}{4} + 1 \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}\). Part (e): The perpendicular bisector crosses the x-axis when \(y = 0\). Substituting \(y = 0\) gives \(0 = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{4} \implies \frac{3}{4}x = -\frac{1}{4} \implies x = -\frac{1}{3}\).

In a triangle ABC, \(AB = 7.2\text{ cm}\), \(BC = 9.5\text{ cm}\), and angle \(ABC = 64^\circ\). Part (a): Calculate the length of AC. Part (b): Calculate angle BAC. Part (c): Calculate the area of triangle ABC. Part (d): A point D is on BC such that AD is perpendicular to BC. Calculate the length of AD.
查看答案詳解收起答案詳解
解題
Part (a): Using the Cosine Rule: \(AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 - 2(AB)(BC)\cos(ABC) = 7.2^2 + 9.5^2 - 2(7.2)(9.5)\cos(64^\circ) = 51.84 + 90.25 - 136.8 \times 0.43837 = 142.09 - 59.97 = 82.12\). So, \(AC = \sqrt{82.12} \approx 9.06\text{ cm}\). Part (b): Using the Sine Rule: \(\frac{\sin(BAC)}{BC} = \frac{\sin(ABC)}{AC} \implies \frac{\sin(BAC)}{9.5} = \frac{\sin(64^\circ)}{9.06} \implies \sin(BAC) = \frac{9.5 \times \sin(64^\circ)}{9.06} \approx 0.9424\).

Let \(f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 12\). Part (a): Find the x-intercepts of the graph of \(y = f(x)\). Part (b): Find the coordinates of the local maximum and the local minimum of the function. Give coordinates to 3 significant figures. Part (c): Solve the equation \(f(x) = 5\). Give your answers to 3 significant figures.
查看答案詳解收起答案詳解
解題
Part (a): Set \(f(x) = 0 \implies x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 12 = 0\). Grouping terms: \(x^2(x - 3) - 4(x - 3) = 0 \implies (x^2 - 4)(x - 3) = 0 \implies (x - 2)(x + 2)(x - 3) = 0\). The x-intercepts are \(x = -2\), \(x = 2\), and \(x = 3\). Part (b): Differentiate: \(f'(x) = 3x^2 - 6x - 4\). Set \(f'(x) = 0 \implies 3x^2 - 6x - 4 = 0\). Using the quadratic formula, \(x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36 - 4(3)(-4)}}{6} = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{84}}{6}\). This gives \(x \approx 2.53\) (local minimum) and \(x \approx -0.528\) (local maximum). Substituting these back into \(f(x)\): \(f(-0.528) \approx 13.1\) and \(f(2.53) \approx -1.13\). The local maximum is \((-0.528, 13.1)\) and the local minimum is \((2.53, -1.13)\). Part (c): Set \(x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 12 = 5 \implies x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 7 = 0\). Solving this equation using a graphic display calculator yields three roots: \(x \approx -1.63\), \(x \approx 1.25\), and \(x \approx 3.38\).

A bag contains 6 red balls, 4 blue balls, and 2 green balls. Three balls are chosen at random from the bag, one after another, without replacement. Part (a): Find the probability that the first ball chosen is red. Part (b): Find the probability that all three balls chosen are the same colour. Part (c): Find the probability that at least one of the three balls chosen is green. Part (d): Find the probability that exactly two of the chosen balls are blue.
查看答案詳解收起答案詳解
解題
Part (a): Total balls = \(6 + 4 + 2 = 12\). The probability that the first ball is red is \(\frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}\). Part (b): Since there are only 2 green balls, we cannot select 3 green balls. Thus, the three balls can only be all red or all blue. \(P(\text{all same}) = P(RRR) + P(BBB) = \left(\frac{6}{12} \times \frac{5}{11} \times \frac{4}{10}\right) + \left(\frac{4}{12} \times \frac{3}{11} \times \frac{2}{10}\right) = \frac{120}{1320} + \frac{24}{1320} = \frac{144}{1320} = \frac{6}{55} \approx 0.109\). Part (c): Use the complement: \(P(\text{at least 1 green}) = 1 - P(\text{no green})\). The number of non-green balls is \(6 + 4 = 10\). \(P(\text{no green}) = \frac{10}{12} \times \frac{9}{11} \times \frac{8}{10} = \frac{720}{1320} = \frac{6}{11}\). Thus, \(P(\text{at least 1 green}) = 1 - \frac{6}{11} = \frac{5}{11} \approx 0.455\). Part (d): The possible arrangements of exactly two blue balls are \((B, B, B')\), \((B, B', B)\), and \((B', B, B)\). The probability for each arrangement is identical: \(\frac{4}{12} \times \frac{3}{11} \times \frac{8}{10} = \frac{96}{1320}\). Total probability is \(3 \times \frac{96}{1320} = \frac{288}{1320} = \frac{12}{55} \approx 0.218\).

The distribution of the masses, in grams, of 120 apples is given as follows: \(100 < m \le 120\) (14 apples), \(120 < m \le 140\) (28 apples), \(140 < m \le 160\) (42 apples), \(160 < m \le 180\) (24 apples), \(180 < m \le 200\) (12 apples). Part (a): Write down the cumulative frequency table for this data. Part (b): Assuming uniform distribution of masses within classes, estimate: (i) the median mass, and (ii) the interquartile range (IQR). Part (c): Apples with a mass greater than 175 g are classified as Grade A. Estimate the number of Grade A apples.
查看答案詳解收起答案詳解
解題
Part (a): The cumulative frequencies are: \(m \le 120\) is 14; \(m \le 140\) is \(14 + 28 = 42\); \(m \le 160\) is \(42 + 42 = 84\); \(m \le 180\) is \(84 + 24 = 108\); \(m \le 200\) is \(108 + 12 = 120\). Part (b)(i): The median is the 60th value, which lies in the \(140 < m \le 160\) class. Cumulative frequency up to 140 is 42. We need \(60 - 42 = 18\) more values from the 42 in this class of width 20. Estimated median = \(140 + \frac{18}{42} \times 20 \approx 148.57\text{ g}\), which is \(149\text{ g}\) to 3 s.f. Part (b)(ii): The lower quartile (LQ) is the 30th value, in the \(120 < m \le 140\) class. \(\text{LQ} = 120 + \frac{30 - 14}{28} \times 20 = 120 + 11.43 = 131.43\text{ g}\). The upper quartile (UQ) is the 90th value, in the \(160 < m \le 180\) class. \(\text{UQ} = 160 + \frac{90 - 84}{24} \times 20 = 160 + 5 = 165\text{ g}\). Therefore, \(\text{IQR} = \text{UQ} - \text{LQ} = 165 - 131.43 = 33.57\text{ g}\), which is \(33.6\text{ g}\) to 3 s.f. Part (c): The class \(160 < m \le 180\) has a frequency of 24. The proportion of this class above 175 g is \(\frac{180 - 175}{20} = \frac{5}{20} = 0.25\). Number of apples in this range is \(0.25 \times 24 = 6\). Adding the 12 apples in the \(180 < m \le 200\) class, the total estimated number of Grade A apples is \(6 + 12 = 18\).

解題
Part (a): Savings = \(5000 \times (1 + 0.032)^5 = 5000 \times 1.032^5 \approx \$5852.86 \approx \$5853\). Part (b): Car value = \(18000 \times (1 - 0.12)^5 = 18000 \times 0.88^5 \approx \$9499.17 \approx \$9499\). Part (c): Let \(t\) be the number of years. We want to find the smallest integer \(t\) such that \(18000 \times 0.88^t < 5000 \times 1.032^t \implies \frac{18000}{5000} < \left(\frac{1.032}{0.88}\right)^t \implies 3.6 < (1.172727...)^t\). Taking logs: \(\ln(3.6) < t \ln(1.172727...) \implies t > \frac{\ln(3.6)}{\ln(1.172727...)} \approx 8.04\text{ years}\). Thus, it takes 9 complete years. Part (d): Monthly option after 5 years = \(5000 \times \left(1 + \frac{0.0315}{12}\right)^{60} = 5000 \times (1.002625)^{60} \approx \$5851.46\). The original option yields \(\$5852.86\), which is more money. The difference is \(5852.86 - 5851.46 = \$1.40\).

**(a)(i)** Find the next terms by continuing the pattern of differences: Differences: 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31... 6th term: \(57 + 23 = 80\) 7th term: \(80 + 27 = 107\) 8th term: \(107 + 31 = 138\).
**(a)(ii)** First differences: 7, 11, 15, 19 Second differences: 4, 4, 4 Since the second differences are constant and equal to 4, the sequence is quadratic with a leading term of \(\frac{4}{2}n^2 = 2n^2\). Subtracting \(2n^2\) from each term: - \(n=1\): \(5 - 2(1)^2 = 3\) - \(n=2\): \(12 - 2(2)^2 = 4\) - \(n=3\): \(23 - 2(3)^2 = 5\) The sequence of remainders is \(3, 4, 5, \dots\), which is a linear sequence with formula \(n + 2\). Therefore, the \(n\)-th term of Sequence \(A\) is \(2n^2 + n + 2\).
**(b)(i)** Sequence \(B\) is a geometric sequence with first term \(a = 3\) and common ratio \(r = 2\). Therefore, the \(n\)-th term is \(3 \times 2^{n-1}\).
**(c)** We want to find the smallest \(n\) such that \(3 \times 2^{n-1} > 2n^2 + n + 2\). Let us test values of \(n\): - For \(n = 5\): \(3 \times 2^4 = 48\) \(2(5)^2 + 5 + 2 = 57\) \(48 < 57\) - For \(n = 6\): \(3 \times 2^5 = 96\) \(2(6)^2 + 6 + 2 = 80\) \(96 > 80\) Thus, the smallest value is \(n = 6\).

### PART B: MODELLING — Cooling of a Heating Element (15 Marks)
An industrial heating element cools down after being turned off. A technician measures the temperature, \(T\) (in \(^\circ\text{C}\)), of the element at different times, \(t\) (in minutes). The room temperature is constant at \(20^\circ\text{C}\).
The technician proposes two models for the temperature of the element: * **Model 1 (Linear model):** \(T(t) = a - bt\) * **Model 2 (Exponential model):** \(T(t) = 20 + c \cdot d^t\)
The temperature measurements are: * At \(t = 0\), \(T = 180^\circ\text{C}\) * At \(t = 5\), \(T = 100^\circ\text{C}\)
**(a) For Model 1:**
(i) Use the data to find the values of \(a\) and \(b\). [2]
(ii) Find the time \(t\) when the temperature reaches the room temperature (\(20^\circ\text{C}\)) under Model 1, and comment on the validity of this model for large values of \(t\). [3]
**(b) For Model 2:**

(ii) Calculate the predicted temperature at \(t = 12\) minutes using Model 2, rounding your answer to 1 decimal place. [2]
(iii) Explain what happens to the temperature predicted by Model 2 as \(t\) becomes very large, and why this is more realistic than Model 1. [2]
**(c) A third model is proposed:** * **Model 3:** \(T(t) = 20 + 160 \cdot e^{-kt}\)
Show that Model 3 is equivalent to Model 2, and find the value of the constant \(k\) correct to 4 decimal places. [3]

### PART A: INVESTIGATION
**(a)** * The number of hexagons in Ring 4 is \(18\). * The total number of hexagons in Design 4 is \(1 + 6 + 12 + 18 = 37\).
**(b)** For \(n \ge 2\), the number of hexagons in Ring \(n\) is \(R_n = 6(n - 1)\).
**(c)** The total number of hexagons \(T_n\) is the sum of the hexagons in all rings from 1 to \(n\): \[T_n = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + \dots + R_n\] \[T_n = 1 + 6(1) + 6(2) + \dots + 6(n - 1)\] \[T_n = 1 + 6[1 + 2 + \dots + (n - 1)]\] Using the formula for the sum of the first \(n-1\) integers, \(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} i = \frac{(n-1)n}{2}\): \[T_n = 1 + 6 \cdot \frac{n(n-1)}{2}\] \[T_n = 1 + 3n(n-1)\] \[T_n = 3n^2 - 3n + 1\]
**(d)(i)** * In Design 1, the single hexagon has \(P_1 = 6\) cm, which fits \(12(1) - 6 = 6\). * For \(n \ge 2\), the boundary of Design \(n\) is formed by the outer ring (Ring \(n\)), which has \(6(n-1)\) hexagons. * There are 6 corner hexagons in this outer ring. Each corner hexagon shares 1 edge with Ring \(n-1\) and 2 edges with its adjacent neighbors in Ring \(n\). This leaves \(6 - 3 = 3\) exposed edges per corner hexagon. Total exposed edges for corners = \(6 \times 3 = 18\). * There are \(6(n-1) - 6 = 6(n-2)\) non-corner (side) hexagons in the outer ring. Each side hexagon shares 2 edges with Ring \(n-1\) and 2 edges with adjacent neighbors in Ring \(n\). This leaves \(6 - 4 = 2\) exposed edges per side hexagon. Total exposed edges for side hexagons = \(6(n-2) \times 2 = 12n - 24\). * Total perimeter \(P_n = 18 + 12n - 24 = 12n - 6\). * Since this formula gives \(12(1) - 6 = 6\) for \(n = 1\), it holds for all \(n \ge 1\).
**(d)(ii)** Set \(P_n = 594\): \[12n - 6 = 594\] \[12n = 600\] \[n = 50\] So, **Design 50** has a perimeter of 594 cm.

### PART B: MODELLING
**(a)(i)** Using \(T(t) = a - bt\): * At \(t = 0\), \(180 = a - b(0) \implies a = 180\). * At \(t = 5\), \(100 = 180 - b(5) \implies 5b = 80 \implies b = 16\). Thus, \(a = 180\) and \(b = 16\).
**(a)(ii)** Set \(T(t) = 20\): \[180 - 16t = 20 \implies 16t = 160 \implies t = 10\text{ minutes}\] For \(t > 10\), the model predicts that the temperature continues to decrease below \(20^\circ\text{C}\) (and eventually becomes negative), which is impossible because a cooling object cannot become colder than the room temperature. Thus, Model 1 is not valid for large values of \(t\).
**(b)(i)** Using \(T(t) = 20 + c \cdot d^t\): * At \(t = 0\), \(180 = 20 + c \cdot d^0 \implies 180 = 20 + c \implies c = 160\) (Shown). * At \(t = 5\), \(100 = 20 + 160 \cdot d^5 \implies 160 \cdot d^5 = 80 \implies d^5 = 0.5\). Thus, the exact value of \(d\) is: \[d = 0.5^{1/5} \quad \text{or} \quad d = 2^{-1/5}\]
**(b)(iii)** As \(t \to \infty\), \(d^t \to 0\) since \(0 < d < 1\). Therefore, \(T(t) \to 20 + 0 = 20^\circ\text{C}\). This is more realistic because it shows the temperature of the heating element asymptotically approaching the surrounding room temperature, rather than dropping below it indefinitely.
**(c)** For equivalence between Model 2 and Model 3: \[20 + 160 \cdot e^{-kt} = 20 + 160 \cdot d^t \implies e^{-kt} = d^t \implies (e^{-k})^t = d^t\] This requires: \[e^{-k} = d \implies -k = \ln(d) \implies k = -\ln(d)\] Substitute \(d = 0.5^{1/5}\): \[k = -\ln(0.5^{1/5}) = -\frac{1}{5}\ln(0.5) = \frac{\ln(2)}{5} \approx 0.138629...\] Correct to 4 decimal places, \(k = 0.1386\).

解題
Part A: 1. (a) Since volume \(V = \pi r^2 h = 1000\), we rearrange to get: \(h = \frac{1000}{\pi r^2}\). (b) The total surface area of a closed cylinder is \(A = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\). Substituting the expression for \(h\): \(A = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r \left(\frac{1000}{\pi r^2}\right) = 2\pi r^2 + \frac{2000}{r}\). (c) To find the minimum surface area, differentiate with respect to \(r\): \(\frac{dA}{dr} = 4\pi r - \frac{2000}{r^2}\). Set \(\frac{dA}{dr} = 0\): \(4\pi r^3 = 2000 \implies r^3 = \frac{500}{\pi} \approx 159.155 \implies r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{500}{\pi}} \approx 5.42\text{ cm}\) (to 3 s.f.). Substitute \(r = 5.419\) back into \(A\): \(A \approx 2\pi (5.419)^2 + \frac{2000}{5.419} \approx 184.5 + 369.1 = 554\text{ cm}^2\).
2. (a) For a square prism, volume \(V = x^2 y = 1000 \implies y = \frac{1000}{x^2}\). The surface area is \(S = 2x^2 + 4xy\). Substituting \(y\): \(S = 2x^2 + 4x\left(\frac{1000}{x^2}\right) = 2x^2 + \frac{4000}{x}\). (b) Differentiating \(S\): \(\frac{dS}{dx} = 4x - \frac{4000}{x^2}\). Set to 0: \(4x^3 = 4000 \implies x^3 = 1000 \implies x = 10\text{ cm}\). The minimum surface area is \(S = 2(10)^2 + \frac{4000}{10} = 200 + 400 = 600\text{ cm}^2\).
Part B: 3. A regular hexagon is made of 6 equilateral triangles of side length \(s\). The area of one equilateral triangle is \(\frac{1}{2} s^2 \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2\). Thus, total area of the hexagon is \(6 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2 = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}s^2\).
4. Since \(V = \text{Base Area} \times H = 1000\), we have \(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}s^2 H = 1000 \implies H = \frac{2000}{3\sqrt{3}s^2}\). The total surface area is \(A_{\text{hex}} = 2 \times \text{Base Area} + 6sH = 3\sqrt{3}s^2 + 6s\left(\frac{2000}{3\sqrt{3}s^2}\right)\). Simplifying: \(A_{\text{hex}} = 3\sqrt{3}s^2 + \frac{4000}{\sqrt{3}s} = 3\sqrt{3}s^2 + \frac{4000\sqrt{3}}{3s}\).
7. Comparing the minimum areas: Cylinder \(\approx 554\text{ cm}^2\), Hexagonal Prism \(\approx 572\text{ cm}^2\), Square Prism \(= 600\text{ cm}^2\). The cylinder is the most material-efficient. As the number of sides of the base polygon increases (from 4 for a square to 6 for a hexagon, and infinitely many for a circle), the minimum surface area needed to enclose a fixed volume decreases.
