Write \( 4\lg(2x) - \frac{1}{4}\lg(16) + 3 \) as a single logarithm to base 10.
查看答案詳解

解題

We can rewrite each term as a logarithm to base 10:

1. \( 4\lg(2x) = \lg((2x)^4) = \lg(16x^4) \)

2. \( \frac{1}{4}\lg(16) = \lg(16^{1/4}) = \lg(2) \)

3. \( 3 = \lg(10^3) = \lg(1000) \)

Combining these using the laws of logarithms:

\( 4\lg(2x) - \frac{1}{4}\lg(16) + 3 = \lg(16x^4) - \lg(2) + \lg(1000) \)

\( = \lg\left( \frac{16x^4}{2} \right) + \lg(1000) \)

\( = \lg(8x^4 \times 1000) = \lg(8000x^4) \)

查看答案詳解

解題

First, find the vector \( 2\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b} \):

\( 2\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b} = 2\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ -10 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -5 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 8 \\ -15 \end{pmatrix} \)

Next, find the magnitude of this vector:

\( |2\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{b}| = \sqrt{8^2 + (-15)^2} = \sqrt{64 + 225} = \sqrt{289} = 17 \)

Finally, find the unit vector by dividing the vector by its magnitude:

3
A sector of a circle of radius \( r \text{ cm} \) has an angle of \( \theta \) radians. Given that the perimeter of the sector is \( 24 \text{ cm} \) and the area of the sector is \( 32 \text{ cm}^2 \), find the possible values of \( r \).
查看答案詳解

解題

The perimeter \( P \) and area \( A \) of a sector are given by:

\( P = 2r + r\theta = 24 \implies r\theta = 24 - 2r \)

\( A = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta = 32 \)

Substitute \( r\theta \) into the area formula:

\( A = \frac{1}{2} r (r\theta) = 32 \)

\( \frac{1}{2} r (24 - 2r) = 32 \)

\( 12r - r^2 = 32 \)

\( r^2 - 12r + 32 = 0 \)

Factor the quadratic equation:

\( (r-4)(r-8) = 0 \)

Thus, the possible values of \( r \) are \( r = 4 \) or \( r = 8 \).

The equation of a curve is \(y = x^2 + (k-2)x + 4\) and the equation of a line is \(y = 2kx - 5\), where \(k\) is a constant.

(a) Show that the \(x\)-coordinate of any point of intersection of the line and the curve satisfies the equation \(x^2 - (k+2)x + 9 = 0\). [2]

(b) Find the range of values of \(k\) for which the line does not intersect the curve. [4]
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) At the points of intersection, we equate the two equations:
\(x^2 + (k-2)x + 4 = 2kx - 5\)

Rearranging to make one side zero:
\(x^2 + (k - 2 - 2k)x + (4 + 5) = 0\)

\(x^2 - (k+2)x + 9 = 0\) (as required).

(b) For the line to not intersect the curve, this quadratic equation must have no real roots. Therefore, the discriminant must be less than zero:
\(b^2 - 4ac < 0\)

\([-(k+2)]^2 - 4(1)(9) < 0\)

\((k+2)^2 - 36 < 0\)

(b) Hence solve \(2(3^{2y+2}) - 7(3^{y+1}) - 4 = 0\), giving your answer in exact form. [2]
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) Let \(u = 3^x\). The equation becomes:
\(2u^2 - 7u - 4 = 0\)

\((2u + 1)(u - 4) = 0\)

So \(u = -0.5\) or \(u = 4\).

Since \(3^x > 0\) for all real \(x\), \(3^x = -0.5\) has no real solution.

Thus, \(3^x = 4\), which gives \(x = \log_3 4\).

(b) Comparing the equation in (b) with the one in (a), we substitute \(x = y+1\).

Therefore,
\(y + 1 = \log_3 4\)

\(y = \log_3 4 - 1\)

The polynomial \(P(x) = 2x^3 + ax^2 + bx - 6\) has a factor of \((x - 2)\). When \(P(x)\) is divided by \((x + 1)\), the remainder is \(-12\).

(a) Find the value of \(a\) and of \(b\). [4]

(b) Express \(P(x)\) as a product of \((x - 2)\) and a quadratic factor. [2]
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) Since \((x - 2)\) is a factor of \(P(x)\), by the factor theorem, \(P(2) = 0\):
\(2(2)^3 + a(2)^2 + b(2) - 6 = 0\)

\(16 + 4a + 2b - 6 = 0 \Rightarrow 4a + 2b = -10 \Rightarrow 2a + b = -5\) --- (Equation 1)

By the remainder theorem, when \(P(x)\) is divided by \((x + 1)\), the remainder is \(P(-1) = -12\):
\(2(-1)^3 + a(-1)^2 + b(-1) - 6 = -12\)

\(-2 + a - b - 6 = -12 \Rightarrow a - b = -4\) --- (Equation 2)

From Equation 2, \(b = a + 4\). Substitute into Equation 1:
\(2a + (a + 4) = -5 \Rightarrow 3a = -9 \Rightarrow a = -3\)

Then \(b = -3 + 4 = 1\).

(b) With \(a = -3\) and \(b = 1\), \(P(x) = 2x^3 - 3x^2 + x - 6\).

Dividing \(P(x)\) by \((x - 2)\) using algebraic long division or synthetic division:
\(2x^3 - 3x^2 + x - 6 = (x - 2)(2x^2 + kx + 3)\)

Comparing coefficients of \(x^2\):
\(-4 + k = -3 \Rightarrow k = 1\)

So, \(P(x) = (x - 2)(2x^2 + x + 3)\).

A curve has the equation \(y = \frac{x^2}{3x-1}\) for \(x > \frac{1}{3}\).

(a) Find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\). [3]

(b) Find the coordinates of the stationary points on this curve. [3]
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) Using the quotient rule, where \(u = x^2\) and \(v = 3x - 1\):
\(\frac{du}{dx} = 2x\) and \(\frac{dv}{dx} = 3\)

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2}\)

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(3x - 1)(2x) - (x^2)(3)}{(3x - 1)^2}\)

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{6x^2 - 2x - 3x^2}{(3x - 1)^2} = \frac{3x^2 - 2x}{(3x - 1)^2}\)

(b) At stationary points, \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\):
\(\frac{3x^2 - 2x}{(3x - 1)^2} = 0 \Rightarrow 3x^2 - 2x = 0\)

\(x(3x - 2) = 0\)

So \(x = 0\) or \(x = \frac{2}{3}\).

When \(x = 0\):
\(y = \frac{0^2}{3(0)-1} = 0\)

Stationary point: \((0, 0)\).

When \(x = \frac{2}{3}\):
\(y = \frac{(2/3)^2}{3(2/3)-1} = \frac{4/9}{2-1} = \frac{4}{9}\)

Stationary point: \((\frac{2}{3}, \frac{4}{9})\).

查看答案詳解

解題

(a) The displacement vector \(\vec{AB}\) is given by:
\(\vec{AB} = \vec{OB} - \vec{OA} = \begin{pmatrix} 8 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}\).

The magnitude of \(\vec{AB}\) is:
\(|\vec{AB}| = \sqrt{6^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{36 + 16} = \sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13} \approx 7.21\).

(b) The displacement vector \(\vec{AC}\) is:
\(\vec{AC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OA} = \begin{pmatrix} k \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} k-2 \\ 8 \end{pmatrix}\).

Since \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are collinear, \(\vec{AC}\) is a scalar multiple of \(\vec{AB}\):
\(\vec{AC} = \lambda \vec{AB}\)

\(\begin{pmatrix} k-2 \\ 8 \end{pmatrix} = \lambda \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}\).

From the \(y\)-components:
\(8 = 4\lambda \Rightarrow \lambda = 2\).

(b) Hence find the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve.

(c) Find the equation of the normal to the curve at the point where it crosses the \( y \)-axis.
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) Given \( y = (3x-1)(2x+3)^3 \).
Using the product rule:
\( u = 3x - 1 \implies u' = 3 \)
\( v = (2x+3)^3 \implies v' = 3(2x+3)^2 \cdot 2 = 6(2x+3)^2 \)

\( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = u'v + uv' = 3(2x+3)^3 + 6(3x-1)(2x+3)^2 \)
Factor out \( 3(2x+3)^2 \):
\( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 3(2x+3)^2 [ (2x+3) + 2(3x-1) ] \)
\( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 3(2x+3)^2 [ 2x + 3 + 6x - 2 ] \)
\( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 3(2x+3)^2 (8x + 1) \)
\( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = (2x+3)^2 (24x + 3) \)
So \( A = 24 \) and \( B = 3 \).

(b) For stationary points, set \( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 0 \):
\( (2x+3)^2(24x+3) = 0 \)
This gives \( x = -1.5 \) or \( x = -0.125 \).

When \( x = -1.5 \):
\( y = (3(-1.5) - 1)(2(-1.5) + 3)^3 = 0 \)
Coordinates of the first point: \( (-1.5, 0) \).

When \( x = -0.125 \):
\( y = (3(-0.125) - 1)(2(-0.125) + 3)^3 = (-1.375)(2.75)^3 = -\frac{14641}{512} \approx -28.6 \)
Coordinates of the second point: \( (-0.125, -28.6) \).

(c) The curve crosses the \( y \)-axis at \( x = 0 \).
When \( x = 0 \):
\( y = (3(0) - 1)(2(0) + 3)^3 = -27 \)
Point: \( (0, -27) \).

Gradient of the tangent at \( x = 0 \):
\( m_T = (2(0)+3)^2(24(0)+3) = 9 \times 3 = 27 \)

Gradient of the normal:
\( m_N = -\frac{1}{27} \)

Equation of the normal:
\( y - (-27) = -\frac{1}{27}(x - 0) \)
\( y + 27 = -\frac{1}{27}x \implies x + 27y + 729 = 0 \)

查看答案詳解

解題

(a) Using the properties of logarithms:
\( \log_2((x + 3)(x - 3)) = 4 \)
\( (x + 3)(x - 3) = 2^4 \)
\( x^2 - 9 = 16 \)
\( x^2 = 25 \implies x = 5 \text{ or } x = -5 \)

Since we must have \( x + 3 > 0 \) and \( x - 3 > 0 \), we reject \( x = -5 \).
Thus, \( x = 5 \).

(b) From the first equation:
\( 3^x \cdot (3^2)^y = 3^5 \)
\( 3^{x + 2y} = 3^5 \implies x + 2y = 5 \quad \text{--- (1)} \)

From the second equation:
\( 2x - y = 5^1 \implies y = 2x - 5 \quad \text{--- (2)} \)

Substitute (2) into (1):
\( x + 2(2x - 5) = 5 \)
\( x + 4x - 10 = 5 \)
\( 5x = 15 \implies x = 3 \)

Using (2) to find \( y \):
\( y = 2(3) - 5 = 1 \)

Since \( 2x - y = 5 > 0 \), the solution is valid.
Thus, \( x = 3 \) and \( y = 1 \).

(c) Find the least value of \( n \) such that the sum of the first \( n \) terms of this GP exceeds 31.9.
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) For the AP:
\( u_3 = a + 2d = 11 \quad \text{--- (1)} \)
\( S_{10} = \frac{10}{2}(2a + 9d) = 5(2a + 9d) = 235 \implies 2a + 9d = 47 \quad \text{--- (2)} \)

From (1), multiply by 2:
\( 2a + 4d = 22 \quad \text{--- (3)} \)

Subtract (3) from (2):
\( 5d = 25 \implies d = 5 \)

Substitute \( d = 5 \) back into (1):
\( a + 2(5) = 11 \implies a = 1 \)

(b) For the GP:
\( A = a = 1 \)
\( S_\infty = \frac{A}{1-R} = 32 \)
\( \frac{1}{1-R} = 32 \implies 1-R = \frac{1}{32} \implies R = 1 - \frac{1}{32} = \frac{31}{32} = 0.96875 \)

(c) We want \( S_n > 31.9 \):
\( \frac{A(1-R^n)}{1-R} > 31.9 \)
\( 32(1 - 0.96875^n) > 31.9 \)
\( 1 - 0.96875^n > \frac{31.9}{32} = 0.996875 \)
\( 0.96875^n < 1 - 0.996875 = 0.003125 \)

Taking natural logarithms:
\( n \ln(0.96875) < \ln(0.003125) \)
Since \( \ln(0.96875) < 0 \), the inequality sign flips:
\( n > \frac{\ln(0.003125)}{\ln(0.96875)} \)
\( n > \frac{-5.76832}{-0.031749} \approx 181.68 \)

Since \( \overrightarrow{AB} = \mathbf{b} - \mathbf{a} \):
\( \overrightarrow{OQ} = \mathbf{a} + \lambda(\mathbf{b} - \mathbf{a}) = (1-\lambda)\mathbf{a} + \lambda\mathbf{b} \)

(b) \( \overrightarrow{PQ} = \overrightarrow{OQ} - \overrightarrow{OP} \)
\( \overrightarrow{PQ} = (1-\lambda)\mathbf{a} + \lambda\mathbf{b} - \frac{1}{4}\mathbf{a} = \left(\frac{3}{4}-\lambda\right)\mathbf{a} + \lambda\mathbf{b} \)

(c) For \( P, Q, R \) to be collinear, \( \overrightarrow{PQ} = k \overrightarrow{PR} \) for some scalar \( k \).
First, find \( \overrightarrow{PR} \):
\( \overrightarrow{PR} = \overrightarrow{OR} - \overrightarrow{OP} = 2\mathbf{b} - \frac{1}{4}\mathbf{a} \)

So:
\( \left(\frac{3}{4}-\lambda\right)\mathbf{a} + \lambda\mathbf{b} = k \left(-\frac{1}{4}\mathbf{a} + 2\mathbf{b}\right) \)

Equating coefficients of \( \mathbf{a} \) and \( \mathbf{b} \):
From \( \mathbf{b} \): \( \lambda = 2k \implies k = \frac{\lambda}{2} \)
From \( \mathbf{a} \): \( \frac{3}{4}-\lambda = -\frac{1}{4}k \)

Substitute \( k = \frac{\lambda}{2} \):
\( \frac{3}{4}-\lambda = -\frac{\lambda}{8} \)
Multiply through by 8:
\( 6 - 8\lambda = -\lambda \)
\( 7\lambda = 6 \implies \lambda = \frac{6}{7} \)

Now, to find the ratio \( PQ:QR \):
\( k = \frac{\lambda}{2} = \frac{3}{7} \)
So \( \overrightarrow{PQ} = \frac{3}{7} \overrightarrow{PR} \).
This means that point \( Q \) lies \( \frac{3}{7} \) of the way along the line segment \( PR \).
Thus, \( PQ = \frac{3}{7}PR \) and \( QR = \frac{4}{7}PR \).
Therefore, the ratio \( PQ:QR = 3:4 \).
