(b) (i) Calculate the value of D1 6 (cos 37°)4 correct to 3 decimal places. [2]

With the use of a calculator,

D1 6 (cos 37°)4 = 0.602 (to 3 decimal places)

(ii) Write 0.00527 in standard form. [1]

0.00527 = 5.27 8 10A5

(c) Haresh works at a call centre for 35 hours each week. He is paid an hourly rate

of $11.20.

(i) Calculate the amount of money Haresh earns in a four-week

month. [2]

In one week, Haresh earns = 35 8 $11.20

In one week, Haresh earns = $392

In four weeks, Haresh earns = $392 8 4

In four weeks, Haresh earns = $1568

(ii) In a certain week, Haresh works 8 hours overtime. Overtime hours are
7
paid at 1 4 times the usual rate of $11.20 per hour.

Find the TOTAL amount of money Haresh is paid for that week. [2]

Overtime rate = 1.5 8 Basic rate

Overtime rate = 1.5 8 $11.20

Overtime rate = $16.80

Overtime wage = Overtime rate 8 Overtime hours

Overtime wage = $16.80 8 8

Overtime wage = $134.40

In one week, his basic wage = 35 8 $11.20

In one week, his basic wage = $392

Therefore,

Total wage for that week = Basic wage 3 Overtime wage

Total wage for that week = $392 3 $134.40

Total wage for that week = $526.40

(i) Find an expression, in terms of g, for the length

(a) de [1]

de = bc 6 af

de = 3g 6 (g 3 3)

de = 3g 6 g 6 3

de = 2g 6 3

(b) fe [1]

fe = ab 6 dc

fe = 4g 6 5 6 (g 3 1)

fe = 4g 6 5 6 g 6 1

fe = 3g 6 6

(ii) Given that the TOTAL area of the shape is 414 j_4 , show that

g 4 3 g 6 72 = 0. [4]

Area of section k = ab 8 af

Area of section k = (4g 6 5)(g 3 3)

Area of section k = 4g 4 3 12g 6 5g 6 15

Area of section k = 4g 4 3 7g 6 15

Area of section l = de 8 dc

Area of section l = (2g 6 3)(g 3 1)

Area of section l = 2g 4 3 2g 6 3g 6 3

Area of section l = 2g 4 6 g 6 3
So, we have,

Total area of the shape = Area of section k 3 Area of section l

Total area of the shape = 4g 4 3 7g 6 15 3 2g 4 6 g 6 3

Total area of the shape = 6g 4 3 6g 6 18

Since the total area of the shape is 414 j_4, we have,

6g 4 3 6g 6 18 = 414

6g 4 3 6g 6 18 6 414 = 0

6g 4 3 6g 6 432 = 0

3. (a) The diagram below shows a semicircle with diameter kq. l is a point on the

circumference and kl = lq = 8.2 j_.

\ p

(i) State the geometrical name of the line kl. [1]

The geometrical name of the line kl is a chord.

(ii) Find the value of the radius of the circle. [3]

The angle in a semicircle is equal to 90°.

Therefore, klr q = 90°.

By Pythagoras’ Theorem,

j 4 = t4 3 u 4

(kq)4 = (kl)4 3 (lq)4

(kq)4 = (8.2)4 3 (8.2)4

(kq)4 = 67.24 3 67.24

(kq)4 = 134.48
 kq = √134.48

kq = 11.597 (to 3 decimal places)

Hence,
xy
Value of the radius = 4

77.1:9
Value of the radius = 4

Value of the radius = 5.80 j_ (to 3 significant figures)

(b) Each interior angle of a regular polygon is 160°. Calculate the number of sides

of the polygon. [2]

Exterior angle = 180° 6 160°

Exterior angle = 20°

Now,
52C
Exterior angle = z

52C
20 = z

20{ = 360
52C
{= 4C

{ = 18

∴ The number of sides of the polygon is 18 sides.

5
•(g) = ^‚4

•(g) is undefined when the denominator is equal to zero.

g32=0

g = 62

∴ •(g) is undefined for g = 62

ƒ(g) = 4g 6 5 and ℎ(g) = g 4 3 1

ƒℎ(g) = ƒ[ℎ(g)]

ƒℎ(g) = ƒ(g 4 3 1)

ƒℎ(g) = 4(g 4 3 1) 6 5

ƒℎ(g) = 4g 4 3 4 6 5

ƒℎ(g) = 4g 4 6 1 which can be expressed as (2g 6 1)(2g 3 1).

The angle at the centre of the circle is twice the angle at the

circumference of the circle standing on the same chord.

 Angle = 156° o 2

Angle £ is the angle that the chord cf makes with the tangent de.
