TOPIC TEST MEMO


QUESTION 2

2.1.1 f (−3) = (−3) 2 − 8 = 1 A✓ y = 1 ( y – value) (1)

2.1.2 f ( x) = 2 x A✓ value of gradient of (1)


m = f (−3) = 2(−3) = −6 tangent

2.1.3 Equation of tangent : -


y = mx + c
1 = −6(−3) + c
c = −17
y = −6 x − 17

CA✓ substitution
OR

y − 1 = −6( x + 3)
y = −6 x − 18 + 1 CA✓answer (2)
y = −6 x − 17

CA✓ substitution

(2)

CA✓answer

2.2.1 f ( x) = x 3 − 3 x − 2
f ( x) = 3x 2 − 3 = 0
3( x + 1)( x − 1) = 0
x = −1 or x = 1 A✓derivative and equating to
y=0 or y = −4 0
A(−1 ; 0) B(1 ; − 4)

CA✓factors
CA✓x - values

CA✓ y - values (4)

2.2.2 PQ = g ( x) − f ( x)
= (2 x − 2) − ( x 3 − 3 x − 2)
= − x3 + 5 x
A✓expression for PQ
PQ  = −3x 2 + 5 = 0
5
x2 =
3 A✓ PQ = 0
5
x= = 1,29

QUESTION 3

3.1 𝐻(5) = −2(5)2 + 70(5) ✓ Substitution (2)


= 300𝑚 ✓
Answer
3.2 𝐻(𝑡) = 0 𝑖𝑓 − 2𝑡 2 + 70𝑡 = 0 𝐻(𝑡) = 0
−2𝑡(𝑡 − 35) = 0 ✓ Factors
𝑡 = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑡 = 35𝑠
𝑡 = 35𝑠 ✓ 𝑡 = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑡 = 35𝑠 (2)
accepting 𝑡 = 35𝑠
3.3 𝐻Ꞌ(𝑡) = −4𝑡 + 70 = 0 ✓ 𝐻Ꞌ(𝑡) = −4𝑡 + 70
70
𝑡 = = 17, 5
4 𝐻Ꞌ(𝑡) = 0 (2)
𝑠𝑜 𝐻(𝑡) = 2( 17,5)2 − 70 (17, 5) 70
✓ 𝑡 = = 17, 5
612, 5𝑚 4
612, 5𝑚

3.4 At the blast t = 0 ✓ subst of


𝐻Ꞌ(𝑡) = −4𝑡 + 70 ✓ t = 0 in 𝐻Ꞌ(𝑡)
𝐻Ꞌ(0) = −4(0) + 70 = 70𝑚/𝑠. answer
