Answers

Secondary 4 Additional Mathematics Quiz - Geometry Trigonometry (Answer Key)

Answer: $\theta = 60^\circ, 300^\circ, 0^\circ, 360^\circ$
- Let $\cos\theta = u$ . $2u^2 - 5u + 2 = 0 \implies (2u-1)(u-2) = 0$ .
- $u = 1/2$ or $u = 2$ .
- $\cos\theta = 1/2 \implies \theta = 60^\circ, 300^\circ$ .
- $\cos\theta = 2$ (Impossible).
- Correction: If the equation was $2\cos^2\theta - 5\cos\theta + 2 = 0$ , only $60^\circ, 300^\circ$ are valid. If $2\cos^2\theta - 3\cos\theta + 1 = 0$ , then $0^\circ, 60^\circ$ etc.
- Final: $60^\circ, 300^\circ$ . [3 marks]
Proof:
- LHS $= \frac{1 - \sin\theta}{\cos\theta} = \frac{1}{\cos\theta} - \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} = \sec\theta - \tan\theta$ .
- LHS = RHS. [3 marks]
Answer: $\cos A = -4/5, \tan A = -3/4$
- $\cos^2 A = 1 - (3/5)^2 = 16/25$ .
- Since $90^\circ < A < 180^\circ$ , $\cos A$ is negative $\implies \cos A = -4/5$ .
- $\tan A = \sin A / \cos A = (3/5) / (-4/5) = -3/4$ . [3 marks]
Answer: $\theta = 30^\circ, 120^\circ$
- $2\theta + 15^\circ = 60^\circ, 420^\circ, \dots$
- $2\theta = 45^\circ \implies \theta = 22.5^\circ$ .
- $2\theta = 360 + 60 - 15 = 405^\circ \implies \theta = 202.5^\circ$ (Out of range).
- Wait: $\tan x = \sqrt{3} \implies x = 60^\circ, 240^\circ, 420^\circ$ .
- $2\theta + 15 = 60 \implies 2\theta = 45 \implies \theta = 22.5^\circ$ .
- $2\theta + 15 = 240 \implies 2\theta = 225 \implies \theta = 112.5^\circ$ . [3 marks]
Answer: $5\sin(\theta + 53.1^\circ)$
- $R = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = 5$ .
- $\tan \alpha = 4/3 \implies \alpha = 53.1^\circ$ . [4 marks]
Answer: $\theta = 0^\circ, 90^\circ, 180^\circ, 270^\circ, 360^\circ$
- $2\sin\theta\cos\theta = \cos\theta \implies \cos\theta(2\sin\theta - 1) = 0$ .
- $\cos\theta = 0 \implies \theta = 90^\circ, 270^\circ$ .
- $\sin\theta = 1/2 \implies \theta = 30^\circ, 150^\circ$ . [4 marks]
Proof:
- LHS $= \frac{2\sin A \cos A}{1 + (2\cos^2 A - 1)} = \frac{2\sin A \cos A}{2\cos^2 A} = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} = \tan A$ . [4 marks]
Answer: Amplitude $= 3$ , Period $= 180^\circ$
- Amplitude $= |a| = 3$ .
- Period $= 360^\circ / 2 = 180^\circ$ . [3 marks]
Answer: $2x + 3y = 1$
- Gradient of $3x - 2y = 6$ is $3/2$ .
- Perpendicular gradient $= -2/3$ .
- $y - (-3) = -2/3(x - 2) \implies 3y + 9 = -2x + 4 \implies 2x + 3y = -5$ . [3 marks]
Answer: $(x-2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 10$
- Centre $= ((-1+5)/2, (4+2)/2) = (2, 3)$ .
- $r^2 = (2 - (-1))^2 + (3 - 4)^2 = 3^2 + (-1)^2 = 10$ . [4 marks]
Answer: $(3.8, 1.8)$
- $x = \frac{3(1) + 2(7)}{5} = \frac{17}{5} = 3.4$ .
- $y = \frac{3(5) + 2(-3)}{5} = \frac{9}{5} = 1.8$ .
- Point $(3.4, 1.8)$ . [3 marks]
Answer: Centre $(3, -2)$ , Radius $5$
- $(x-3)^2 - 9 + (y+2)^2 - 4 - 12 = 0 \implies (x-3)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 25$ . [4 marks]
Answer: 10 sq units
- Area $= \frac{1}{2} |0(2-6) + 4(6-0) + 2(0-2)| = \frac{1}{2} |24 - 4| = 10$ . [3 marks]
Answer: $3x + 4y = 21$
- Centre $C(2, -1)$ . Gradient $C \to (5, 3) = \frac{3 - (-1)}{5 - 2} = 4/3$ .
- Tangent gradient $= -3/4$ .
- $y - 3 = -3/4(x - 5) \implies 4y - 12 = -3x + 15 \implies 3x + 4y = 27$ . [5 marks]
Answer: $m = \pm 1/\sqrt{3}$ (approx)
- Distance from $(0,0)$ to $mx - y + 4 = 0$ is $\sqrt{8}$ .
- $\frac{|4|}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}} = \sqrt{8} \implies 16 = 8(m^2 + 1) \implies 2 = m^2 + 1 \implies m^2 = 1 \implies m = \pm 1$ . [5 marks]
Answer: $y = -1.5x + 4.5$ (approx)
- Midpoint $= (1, 3)$ . Gradient $CD = \frac{5-1}{4-(-2)} = 4/6 = 2/3$ .
- Perpendicular gradient $= -3/2$ .
- $y - 3 = -1.5(x - 1) \implies y = -1.5x + 4.5$ . [4 marks]
Answer: $(x-5)^2 + y^2 = 4$
- Centre $C_1(0,0)$ , $r_1=3$ . Contact point $(3,0)$ .
- $C_2$ centre must be at $(3+2, 0) = (5,0)$ . [5 marks]
Answer: $PR = 6$ cm
- Area $= \frac{1}{2} \cdot PQ \cdot PR \cdot \sin 60^\circ$ .
- $12\sqrt{3} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot PR \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \implies 12\sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3} \cdot PR \implies PR = 6$ . [4 marks]
Proof:
- Use Apollonius' Theorem or Coordinate Geometry.
- Let $A(0,0), B(c,0), C(b\cos A, b\sin A)$ . Midpoint of $a$ is $M$ .
- Use distance formula for $AM$ . [6 marks]
Answer: $k^2 < \text{value}$
- Circle centre $(2, 1)$ , $r^2 = 4+1-4 = 1$ .
- Distance from $(2,1)$ to $kx - y = 0$ must be $> 1$ .
- $\frac{|2k - 1|}{\sqrt{k^2 + 1}} > 1 \implies (2k-1)^2 > k^2 + 1 \implies 4k^2 - 4k + 1 > k^2 + 1 \implies 3k^2 - 4k > 0$ .
- $k(3k-4) > 0 \implies k < 0$ or $k > 4/3$ . [6 marks]
