1. The matrix 3 −1 k , where k is a positive constant, maps the unit cube to a solid with
1 0 1
volume 4 cm³.
(i) Find the two possible values of k. [4]
(ii) In the case for which the orientation of the image is unchanged from the
orientation of the original cube, find the coordinates of the point P which is
mapped to the point (0, 1, 2). [3]

(ii) Solve the simultaneous equations
4 x + y + 7 z = 12
3x + 2 y + 5 z = m
8 x + 5 y + 13z = 0
giving x, y and z in terms of m. [5]
