Secondary 4 Additional Mathematics Quiz - Answers

Topic: Numbers Ratio Proportion

Section A

$v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 6t^2 - 18t + 12$ . At $t=2$ , $v = 6(4) - 18(2) + 12 = 24 - 36 + 12 = 0 \text{ m/s}$ . [2 marks]
Third term coefficient: $\binom{n}{2}k^2 = \frac{n(n-1)}{2}k^2$ . [3 marks]
$a(0) = 4(0) - 2 = -2 \text{ m/s}^2$ . [2 marks]
$y = kx^2 \implies 18 = k(3^2) \implies k = 2$ . When $x=5, y = 2(25) = 50$ . [2 marks]
$v = 3t^2 - 12t + 9 = 0 \implies 3(t-1)(t-3) = 0 \implies t = 1, 3$ . [3 marks]
Coeff $x^2$ : $\binom{5}{2}(2^3)(1^2) = 10 \times 8 = 80$ . Coeff $x^3$ : $\binom{5}{3}(2^2)(1^3) = 10 \times 4 = 40$ . Ratio $80:40 = 2:1$ . [3 marks]
$a = \frac{dv}{dt} = 6t - 12$ . At $t=1, a = 6(1) - 12 = -6 \text{ m/s}^2$ . [2 marks]
Let numbers be $3x, 5x$ . $15x^2 = 135 \implies x^2 = 9 \implies x = 3$ . Numbers are $9$ and $15$ . [3 marks]

Section B

$v = t^2 - 4t + 3 = 0 \implies (t-1)(t-3)=0$ . First at rest at $t=1$ . $a = 2t - 4$ . At $t=1, a = -2 \text{ m/s}^2$ . [4 marks]
$\binom{n}{1}a = 10 \implies na = 10$ . $\binom{n}{2}a^2 = 40 \implies \frac{n(n-1)}{2}a^2 = 40$ . Substitute $a = 10/n$ : $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}(\frac{100}{n^2}) = 40 \implies \frac{50(n-1)}{n} = 40 \implies 50n - 50 = 40n \implies 10n = 50 \implies n = 5$ . $a = 10/5 = 2$ . [5 marks]
$v = 2t - 4$ . $v=0$ at $t=2$ . Dist $= \int_0^2 |t^2 - 4t + 3| dt + \int_2^3 |t^2 - 4t + 3| dt$ . $\int_0^2 (t^2 - 4t + 3) dt = [\frac{1}{3}t^3 - 2t^2 + 3t]_0^2 = \frac{8}{3} - 8 + 6 = \frac{2}{3}$ . $\int_2^3 (t^2 - 4t + 3) dt = [\frac{1}{3}t^3 - 2t^2 + 3t]_2^3 = (9 - 18 + 9) - \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{2}{3}$ . Total distance $= \frac{2}{3} + |-\frac{2}{3}| = \frac{4}{3}$ units. [5 marks]
$P = k/\sqrt{Q} \implies Q = k^2/P^2$ . $Q_{new} = k^2/(1.2P)^2 = \frac{1}{1.44} (k^2/P^2) = 0.6944 Q_{old}$ . Decrease $= 1 - 0.6944 = 0.3056 = 30.56\%$ . [4 marks]
$v = 6t^2 - 30t + 24 = 0 \implies 6(t-1)(t-4)=0$ . Second time at $t=4$ . $a = 12t - 30$ . At $t=4, a = 12(4) - 30 = 18 \text{ m/s}^2$ . [4 marks]
Coeffs: $\binom{n}{1}, \binom{n}{2}, \binom{n}{3}$ . $2\binom{n}{2} = \binom{n}{1} + \binom{n}{3} \implies 2\frac{n(n-1)}{2} = n + \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{6}$ . Divide by $n$ ( $n \neq 0$ ): $n-1 = 1 + \frac{(n-1)(n-2)}{6} \implies 6(n-2) = n^2 - 3n + 2 \implies 6n - 12 = n^2 - 3n + 2 \implies n^2 - 9n + 14 = 0$ . (Correction to prompt's "show that" equation: based on standard AP logic, the resulting quadratic is $n^2-9n+14=0$ . If the prompt required $n^2-7n+12=0$ , the terms would be different. Solving $n^2-9n+14=0 \implies (n-7)(n-2)=0$ . Since $n \ge 3$ , $n=7$ .) [6 marks]
$s = \int_1^3 (6t^2 - 18t + 12) dt = [2t^3 - 9t^2 + 12t]_1^3$ . At $t=3: 2(27) - 9(9) + 12(3) = 54 - 81 + 36 = 9$ . At $t=1: 2(1) - 9(1) + 12(1) = 5$ . Displacement $= 9 - 5 = 4$ units. [4 marks]

Section C

$s = at^3 + bt^2 \implies v = 3at^2 + 2bt \implies a_{acc} = 6at + 2b$ . Initial acc: $2b = 4 \implies b = 2$ . Velocity at $t=1$ : $3a(1)^2 + 2(2)(1) = 5 \implies 3a + 4 = 5 \implies 3a = 1 \implies a = 1/3$ . [5 marks]
Coeff $x$ : $nk$ . Coeff $x^2$ : $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}k^2$ . $\frac{nk}{\frac{n(n-1)}{2}k^2} = \frac{2}{3} \implies \frac{2}{ (n-1)k } = \frac{2}{3} \implies (n-1)k = 3 \implies k = \frac{3}{n-1}$ . [5 marks]
$v = 3t^2 - 18t + 24 = 0 \implies 3(t-2)(t-4)=0 \implies t=2, 4$ . $a = 6t - 18$ . At $t=2, a = 12 - 18 = -6 \text{ m/s}^2$ . At $t=4, a = 24 - 18 = 6 \text{ m/s}^2$ . [5 marks]
Area ratio $= (Linear Ratio)^2 \implies 9/16 = (L_1/L_2)^2 \implies L_1/L_2 = 3/4$ . Perimeter is a linear measure. $20/P_2 = 3/4 \implies 3P_2 = 80 \implies P_2 = 26.67 \text{ cm}$ . [4 marks]
$v = 3t^2 - 12t + 9 = 0 \implies t=1, 3$ . $a = 6t - 12$ . At $t=1, a = -6 \text{ m/s}^2$ . At $t=3, a = 6 \text{ m/s}^2$ . At $t=0$ : $v = 9$ (positive), $a = -12$ (negative). Since velocity and acceleration have opposite signs, the particle is slowing down. [6 marks]
