Answer Key - A-Level Maths H2 Quiz (Geometry Trigonometry)

$2(1 - 2\sin^2\theta) + 3\sin\theta = 3 \implies 4\sin^2\theta - 3\sin\theta + 1 = 0$ . Using quadratic formula: $\sin\theta = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9-16}}{8}$ . No real solutions for $\sin\theta$ . Correction check: $2\cos(2\theta) + 3\sin\theta = 3 \implies 2(1-2\sin^2\theta) + 3\sin\theta = 3 \implies 4\sin^2\theta - 3\sin\theta + 1 = 0$ . Wait, if the equation was $2\cos(2\theta) + 3\sin\theta = 1$ : $4\sin^2\theta - 3\sin\theta - 1 = 0 \implies (4\sin\theta + 1)(\sin\theta - 1) = 0$ . For the provided equation $2\cos(2\theta) + 3\sin\theta = 3$ , there are no real solutions. Answer: No solution.
$\sin 3\theta = \sin(2\theta + \theta) = \sin 2\theta \cos \theta + \cos 2\theta \sin \theta$ $= (2\sin\theta \cos\theta)\cos\theta + (1 - 2\sin^2\theta)\sin\theta$ $= 2\sin\theta(1 - \sin^2\theta) + \sin\theta - 2\sin^3\theta$ $= 2\sin\theta - 2\sin^3\theta + \sin\theta - 2\sin^3\theta = 3\sin\theta - 4\sin^3\theta$ $\frac{\sin 3\theta}{\sin \theta} = 3 - 4\sin^2\theta$ . (QED)
$\cos A = 4/5, \sin A = 3/5$ (since acute). $\cos B = 12/13, \sin B = 5/13$ . $\cos(A+B) = \cos A \cos B - \sin A \sin B = (4/5)(12/13) - (3/5)(5/13) = (48 - 15)/65 = 33/65$ .
$2\sin x \cos x - \cos x = 0 \implies \cos x(2\sin x - 1) = 0$ . $\cos x = 0 \implies x = \pi/2, 3\pi/2$ . $\sin x = 1/2 \implies x = \pi/6, 5\pi/6$ . Answer: $\pi/6, \pi/2, 5\pi/6, 3\pi/2$ .
$\sin(45-30) = \sin 45 \cos 30 - \cos 45 \sin 30 = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}$ .
$3\theta - \pi/4 = \pi/4 + k\pi \implies 3\theta = \pi/2 + k\pi \implies \theta = \pi/6 + k\pi/3$ .
$\frac{1 - \tan^2\theta}{1 + \tan^2\theta} = \frac{1 - \frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}}{1 + \frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}} = \frac{\cos^2\theta - \sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta} = \frac{\cos 2\theta}{1} = \cos 2\theta$ . (QED)
Direction vector $\mathbf{d} = B - A = (3, -3, 2)$ . $\mathbf{r} = (1, 2, 3) + \lambda(3, -3, 2)$ .
$\mathbf{d} = (2, -1, 2), \mathbf{n} = (1, 2, 2)$ . $\sin \theta = \frac{|(2)(1) + (-1)(2) + (2)(2)|}{\sqrt{4+1+4}\sqrt{1+4+4}} = \frac{|2-2+4|}{3 \cdot 3} = 4/9$ . $\theta = \arcsin(4/9) \approx 26.4^\circ$ .
$\vec{PQ} = (-1, 3, -1), \vec{PR} = (-2, 1, 1)$ . $\mathbf{n} = \vec{PQ} \times \vec{PR} = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ -1 & 3 & -1 \\ -2 & 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = (3+1)\mathbf{i} - (-1-2)\mathbf{j} + (-1+6)\mathbf{k} = (4, 3, 5)$ . Eq: $4(x-2) + 3(y-0) + 5(z-1) = 0 \implies 4x + 3y + 5z = 13$ .
$D = \frac{|2(1) - 1(1) + 2(1) - 6|}{\sqrt{4+1+4}} = \frac{|2-1+2-6|}{3} = \frac{|-3|}{3} = 1$ .
$\mathbf{d_1} = (2, 1, 1), \mathbf{d_2} = (1, -1, 0)$ . $\vec{P_1P_2} = (-1, 2, 2)$ . Scalar triple product: $\begin{vmatrix} -1 & 2 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{vmatrix} = -1(1) - 2(-1) + 2(-2-1) = -1 + 2 - 6 = -5 \neq 0$ . Answer: Not coplanar (Skew).
$\mathbf{n_1} = (2, -1, 1), \mathbf{n_2} = (1, 1, -2)$ . $\cos \theta = \frac{|2-1-2|}{\sqrt{6}\sqrt{6}} = \frac{|-1|}{6} = 1/6$ . $\theta = \arccos(1/6) \approx 80.4^\circ$ .
$L: \mathbf{r} = (1+2\lambda, -2+3\lambda, 3-\lambda)$ . $\vec{OP} \cdot \mathbf{d} = 0 \implies (1+2\lambda)(2) + (-2+3\lambda)(3) + (3-\lambda)(-1) = 0$ $2 + 4\lambda - 6 + 9\lambda - 3 + \lambda = 0 \implies 14\lambda = 7 \implies \lambda = 0.5$ . Point: $(1+1, -2+1.5, 3-0.5) = (2, -0.5, 2.5)$ .
$\sin C = \sqrt{1 - (1/4)^2} = \sqrt{15}/4$ . Area $= \frac{1}{2}ab \sin C = \frac{1}{2}(7)(8)\frac{\sqrt{15}}{4} = 7\sqrt{15} \approx 27.1$ .
$\angle R = 180 - (45+60) = 75^\circ$ . $\frac{PR}{\sin 60} = \frac{10}{\sin 75} \implies PR = \frac{10 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\sin 75} \approx \frac{8.66}{0.966} \approx 8.96\text{ cm}$ .
$\tan(A+B) = \tan(180-C) = -\tan C$ . $\frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B} = -\tan C \implies \tan A + \tan B = -\tan C + \tan A \tan B \tan C$ . $\tan A + \tan B + \tan C = \tan A \tan B \tan C$ . (QED)
$r = 10 \sin \alpha, h = 10 \cos \alpha$ . $V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3}\pi (100 \sin^2 \alpha)(10 \cos \alpha) = \frac{1000}{3}\pi \sin^2 \alpha \cos \alpha$ .
$2\sin(\theta + \pi/6) = 1 \implies \sin(\theta + \pi/6) = 1/2$ . $\theta + \pi/6 = \pi/6, 5\pi/6 \implies \theta = 0, 2\pi/3$ . Check range: $0, 2\pi/3$ . (Also $2\pi$ is equivalent to $0$ ).
$\mathbf{n} = (2, 3, -1)$ . Plane: $2(x-1) + 3(y-1) - 1(z-1) = 0 \implies 2x + 3y - z = 4$ . Dist $= \frac{|-4|}{\sqrt{4+9+1}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{14}} \approx 1.07$ .
