Question 1 (****+)
The positive constants p and q satisfy the following equation

p 2 p −q
= .
2p + p 3p + q

Show by a detailed method that

p+2 p
q= . (7)
2+2 p

Question 2 (****+)

72 cm
O

A 24 cm B

The figure above shows a circle with centre at O and radius r .

The straight line AB is a chord to the circle.

Question 6 (****+)

f ( x ) = 2log 4 x , x ∈  , x > 0 .

g ( x ) = 1 + 2log 4 x , x ∈  , x > 0 .

a) State the translation vector that maps the graph of f ( x ) onto the graph of
g ( x) . ( 2)

It is given that the graph of g ( x ) can also be obtained from the graph of f ( x ) by a
single transformation, but this transformation is not a translation.

b) Describe this transformation geometrically. ( 3)

Question 7 (****+)
The straight line l passes through the point P ( 4,5 ) and has gradient 3 .

The point Q also lies on l so that the distance PQ is 3 10 .

Question 8 (****+)
When a tree of a certain species was planted it was 2 metres in height and after 2
years its height was measured at 3.81 metres.

The height, h metres, of this tree, t years after it was planted, is modelled by the
equation

h = A − B e − kt ,

where A , B and k are positive constants.

Given that this species of tree will reach in its lifetime a maximum height of 12
metres, find the value of t when h = 10 .
