• $V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (2r + h)$.
• Question asks to show $V = \pi r^2 (4 + \frac{1}{3}h)$?
  • Let's check the prompt's target expression: $\pi r^2 (4 + \frac{1}{3}h)$.
  • This implies $\frac{2}{3}r = 4 \Rightarrow r=6$? No, it's a general show that.
  • Wait, the prompt says "Show that the volume... is given by...".
  • Let's re-read carefully. "Total height is 12".
  • Maybe substitute $r$? No, $r$ is variable.
  • Let's look at the expression: $\pi r^2 (4 + h/3) = 4\pi r^2 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$.
  • My derived volume: $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$.
  • These are only equal if $\frac{2}{3}r^3 = 4r^2 \Rightarrow r=6$.
  • Ah, part (c) asks to find $r$. Part (b) might rely on substituting $r=6$? No, that's circular.
  • Let's re-evaluate the target expression in the question.
  • Perhaps the question meant: Substitute $h = 12-r$ into volume?
  • $V = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (12-r) = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + 4\pi r^2 - \frac{1}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^3 + 4\pi r^2$.
  • Factor $\pi r^2$: $\pi r^2 (\frac{1}{3}r + 4)$.
  • The prompt text says: $\pi r^2 (4 + \frac{1}{3}h)$. This seems to be a typo in the generated question or I am misinterpreting.
  • Let's assume the question intended: Show $V = \pi r^2 (4 + \frac{r}{3})$?
  • Or maybe the target was $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (2r+h)$.
  • Given the constraint "Show that...", and the likely intended path:
  • $V = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$.
  • If we use $h = 12-r$, $V = \pi r^2 (4 + \frac{r}{3})$.
  • I will provide marks for deriving the correct volume formula in terms of $r$ and $h$, and then substituting $h$.
  • Marking:
    • M1 for Vol Hemisphere + Vol Cone.
    • M1 for substituting $h=12-r$.
    • M1 for simplifying to $\pi r^2(4 + r/3)$. (Note: If the question text strictly says $h$ in the bracket, it's dimensionally inconsistent if $4$ is a number. I will assume the question meant $r$).
    • Self-Correction for Answer Key: I will treat the "Show that" as deriving $V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2(2r+h)$ and then using the specific values later. However, to align with the "Find r" part, the expression must be in one variable.
    • Let's assume the question text in the paper had a typo and should read $\pi r^2 (4 + \frac{r}{3})$.

(c) Find $r$

• $150\pi = \pi r^2 (4 + \frac{r}{3})$.
• $150 = 4r^2 + \frac{r^3}{3}$.
• $450 = 12r^2 + r^3$.
• $r^3 + 12r^2 - 450 = 0$.
• Try integer roots. Factors of 450.
• Try $r=5$: $125 + 300 - 450 = -25$.
• Try $r=6$: $216 + 432 - 450 = 198$.
• Try $r=5.something$.
• Let's check $r=5.5$: $166 + 363 - 450 > 0$.
• Let's check the volume calculation again.
• Maybe the target expression was different.
• Let's solve $r^3 + 12r^2 - 450 = 0$ numerically.
• $f(5) = -25$. $f(5.1) = 132.6 + 312.1 - 450 = -5.3$.
• $f(5.2) = 140.6 + 324.5 - 450 = 15.1$.
• Root approx $5.13$.
• Answer: $5.13$ [3]

(b) $\vec{OM}$

• $M$ is midpoint of $AB$.
• $\vec{OM} = \vec{OA} + \vec{AM}$.
• $\vec{AM} = \frac{1}{2} \vec{AB}$.
• $\vec{AB} = \vec{OB} - \vec{OA} = (\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{c}) - \mathbf{a} = \mathbf{c}$.
• $\vec{OM} = \mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{c}$.
• Answer: $\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{c}$ [2]

(c) $\vec{ON}$

• $N$ on $BC$. $BN:NC = 1:2$. So $\vec{BN} = \frac{1}{3}\vec{BC}$.
• $\vec{BC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OB}$? No, $\vec{BC} = \vec{AO} = -\mathbf{a}$?
• In parallelogram, $\vec{BC} = \vec{AD}$? No. $\vec{BC} = \vec{AO}$? No.
• $\vec{BC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OB}$ is wrong. $\vec{BC} = \vec{C} - \vec{B}$?
• $\vec{BC} = \vec{OC} - \vec{OB}$? No.
• $\vec{BC} = \vec{AD}$? No. $\vec{BC} = \vec{AO}$? No.

• $\vec{OB} = \mathbf{a}+\mathbf{c}$. $\vec{OC} = \mathbf{c}$.
• $\vec{BC} = \mathbf{c} - (\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{c}) = -\mathbf{a}$.
• $\vec{ON} = \vec{OB} + \vec{BN} = (\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{c}) + \frac{1}{3}(-\mathbf{a}) = \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}$.
• Answer: $\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}$ [2]

(d) Ratio $AP : AB$

• $P$ lies on line $AB$ extended. So $\vec{AP} = k \vec{AB} = k \mathbf{c}$.
• $\vec{OP} = \vec{OA} + \vec{AP} = \mathbf{a} + k \mathbf{c}$.
• $P$ also lies on line $ON$ extended. So $\vec{OP} = m \vec{ON} = m(\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}) = \frac{2m}{3}\mathbf{a} + m\mathbf{c}$.
• Equate coefficients of $\mathbf{a}$: $1 = \frac{2m}{3} \Rightarrow m = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$.
• Equate coefficients of $\mathbf{c}$: $k = m = 1.5$.
• So $\vec{AP} = 1.5 \mathbf{c}$.
• Since $\vec{AB} = \mathbf{c}$, $AP = 1.5 AB$.
• Ratio $AP : AB = 1.5 : 1 = 3 : 2$.
