2. An ice cube is melting with its volume decreasing at a constant rate of 3 𝑚3𝑠 −1 . Find the rate of
change of the total surface area when one of the sides is 4 m, assuming that the ice remains in the
shape of a cube while melting.

3. The slope at any point (𝑥, 𝑦) of a curve is given by = 𝑥 2 ln 𝑥. It is given that the curve passes
𝑑𝑥
through the point (1, 1). Find the equation of the curve.
6. Let 𝐶 denote the curve ln(𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 ) = 𝑥𝑦. Find the equation of the tangent to 𝐶 at the point
(0, 1)
7. Solve the following system of linear equations

(ii) Show that the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent (intersect at one point), and 𝐻 is the
orthocenter.
Let 𝐷 and 𝐸 be the mid-point of 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐴𝐶 respectively. 𝐵𝐸 and 𝐶𝐷 meets at 𝐺, as shown in
Figure 3.
(b) (i) Find, by using vectors, the ratios 𝐵𝐺: 𝐺𝐸 and 𝐶𝐺: 𝐺𝐷.

𝐵𝐶 and 𝐺 is the centroid of ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶.
(c) Let 𝑂, 𝐺 and 𝐻 be the circumcenter, centroid and orthocenter respectively. Using the previous
results, show that 𝑂, 𝐺 and 𝐻 are collinear. Also, find the ratio 𝑂𝐺: 𝐺𝐻
