Question 5:
Diagram below shows a sector QOR of a circle with centre O.

It is given that PS = 8 cm and QP = PO= OS = SR = 5 cm.
Find
(a) the length, in cm, of the arc QR,
(b) the area, in cm2, of the shaded region.

Solution:
(a) Length of arc QR = r θ = 10 (1.75) = 17.5 cm

(b)
Area of the shaded region
= Area of sector QOR – Area of triangle POS
= ½ (10)2 (1.75) – ½ (5) (5) sin 1.75 (change calculator to Rad mode)
= 87.5 – 12.30
= 75.2 cm2



Question 6:
Diagram below shows a circle with centre O and radius 12 cm.

Given that A, B and C are points such that OA = AB and  ∠OAC = 90°, find
(a)   ∠BOC, in radians,
(b)  the area, in cm2, of the shaded region.   

Solution:
(a) For triangle OAC,
  cos  ∠AOC = 6/12 
  ÐAOC = 1.047 rad (change calculator to Rad mode)
  ÐBOC = 1.047 rad

(b) 
Area of the shaded region
= Area of BOC – Area of triangle AOC
= ½ (12)2 (1.047) – ½ (6) (12) sin 1.047 (change calculator to Rad mode)
= 75.38 – 31.17
= 44.21 cm2

Question 7:
The diagram shows a straight line PQ which meets a straight line RS at the point Q. The point P lies on the y-axis.
(a) Write down the equation of RS in the intercept form.
(b) Given that 2RQ = QS, find the coordinates of Q.
(c) Given that PQ is perpendicular to RS, find the y-intercept of PQ.


Solution:
(a) 
Equation of RS
x 12 + y − 6 = 1 x 12 − y 6 = 1

(b)
Given  2 R Q = Q S R Q Q S = 1 2 Lets coordinates of  Q = ( x ,   y ) ( ( 0 ) ( 2 ) + ( 12 ) ( 1 ) 1 + 2 , ( − 6 ) ( 2 ) + ( 0 ) ( 1 ) 1 + 2 ) = ( x ,   y ) x = 12 3 = 4 y = − 12 3 = − 4 Q = ( 4 , − 4 )

(c) 
Gradient of  R S ,   m R S = − ( − 6 12 ) = 1 2 m P Q = − 1 m R S = − 1 1 2 = − 2
Point Q = (4, –4), m = –2
Using y = mx+ c
–4 = –2 (4) + c
c = 4
y–intercept of PQ = 4



Question 8:
In the diagram, the equation of FMG is y = – 4. A point P moves such that its distance from E is always half of the distance of E from the straight line FG. Find
(a) The equation of the locus of P,
(b) The x-coordinate of the point of intersection of the locus and the x-axis.


Solution:
(a) 
Gradient of the straight line FMG = 0
EM is perpendicular to FMG, so gradient of EM also = 0, equation of EM is x = 2
Thus, coordinates of point M = (2, –4).

Let coordinates of point P= (x, y).
Given PE = ½ EM
2PE = EM
2 [(x – 2)2+ (y – 4)2]½ = [(2 – 2)2 + (4 – (–4))2]½
4 (x2 – 4x + 4 + y2 – 8y +16) = (0 + 64) → (square for both sides)
4x2 – 16x + 16 + 4y2 – 32y + 64 = 64
4x2 + 4y2 – 16x – 32y + 16 = 0
x2 + y2 – 4x – 8y + 4 = 0

(b) 
x2 + y2 – 4x – 8y + 4 = 0
At x axis, y = 0.
x2 + 0 – 4x – 8(0) + 4 = 0
x2  – 4x+ 4 = 0
(x – 2) (x – 2) = 0
x = 2

The x-coordinate of the point of intersection of the locus and the x-axis is 2.

Quadratic function f(x) = x2 – 4px + 5p2 + 1 has a minimum value of m2 + 2p, where m and p are constants.
(a) By using the method of completing the square, shows that m = p – 1.
(b) Hence, find the values of p and of m if the graph of the quadratic function is symmetry at x = m2 – 1.

Solution:
(a)
f( x )= x 2 −4px+5 p 2 +1 = x 2 −4px+ ( −4p 2 ) 2 − ( −4p 2 ) 2 +5 p 2 +1 = ( x−2p ) 2 + p 2 +1 Minimum value, m 2 +2p= p 2 +1 m 2 = p 2 −2p+1 m 2 = ( p−1 ) 2 m=p−1

Question 4:
(a) Find the range of values of k if the equation x2 – kx + 3k – 5 = 0 does not have real roots.
(b) Show that the quadratic equation hx2 – (h + 3)x + 1 = 0 has real and distinc roots for all values of h.

Solution:
(a)
x 2 −kx+( 3k−5 )=0 If the above equation has no real root, ∴  b 2 −4ac<0. k 2 −4( 3k−5 )<0 k 2 −12k+20<0 ( k−2 )( k−10 )<0

Graph function y = (k – 2)(k – 10) cuts the horizontal line at k = 2 and k = 10 when b2 – 4ac < 0.



The range of values of k that satisfy the inequality above is 2 < k < 10.

(b)
h x 2 −( h+3 )x+1=0 b 2 −4ac= ( h+3 ) 2 −4( h )( 1 ) = h 2 +6h+9−4h = h 2 +2h+9 = ( h+ 2 2 ) 2 − ( 2 2 ) 2 +9 = ( h+1 ) 2 −1+9 = ( h+1 ) 2 +8

The minimum value of (h + 1) + 8 is 8, a positive value. Therefore, b2 – 4ac > 0 for all values of h.
Hence, quadratic equation hx2 – (h + 3)x + 1 = 0 has real and distinc roots for all values of h.

Question 5:
Given 3t and (t – 7) are the roots of the quadratic equation 4x2 – 4x + m = 0 where m is a constant.
(a)  Find the values of t and m.
(b)  Hence, form the quadratic equation with roots 4t and 2t + 6.

Solutions:
(a)
Given 3t and (t – 7) are the roots of the quadratic equation 4x2 – 4x + m = 0
a = 4, b = – 4, c = m
Sum of roots = − b a  
3t + (t– 7) = − − 4 4  
3t + t– 7 = 1
4t = 8
t = 2

Product of roots = c a  
3t (t– 7) = m 4  
4 [3(2) (2 – 7)] = m ← (substitute t = 2)
4 [3(2) (2 – 7)] = m
4 (–30) = m
m = –120

(b)
t = 2
4t = 4(2) = 8
2t + 6 = 2(2) + 6 = 10

Sum of roots = 8 + 10 = 18
Product of roots = 8(10) = 80

Using the formula, x2– (sum of roots)x + product of roots = 0
Thus, the quadratic equation is,
x2 – 18x + 80 = 0
