2 a Initial distance is the day of launch.
t = 0, d = 0 km
b t = 0, d = 0 km
t = 1, d = 4000 km
t = 2, d = 2000 km
t = 3, d = 0 km

c d(t) = at3 + bt2 + ct + d


t = 0, d = 0
d(t) = at3 + bt2 + ct
When t = 1, d = 4
4 = a + b + c [1]
When t = 2, d = 2
2 = 8a + 4b + 2c [2]
When t = 3, d = 0
0 = 27a + 9b + 3c [3]
Solving [1], [2] and [3]
simultaneously, then
a = 1, b = 6 and c = 9
so, d(t) = t3 6t2 + 9t
d When t = 8, d(8) = 83 6 82 + 9 8
= 200
Distance is 200 000 km from Earth.
The moon is 240 000 km from
Earth. So, the satellite is closer by
40 000 km.
e 490 = t3 6t2 + 9t
t3 6t2 + 9t 490 = 0
When t = 10, d(10) = 490
So, the satellite will self-destruct
490 000 km from Earth, 10 days
after launching.

7 Since smooth landing, the graph could have a turning point


at (0, 0). So, a factor of ( x 0) 2 is possible. A further
x intercept (to the right of 50 km) of b, indicates a factor of
(x b). A dilation factor of a from the x-axis results in
y = ax2(x b)
a (50, 10) 10 = 502 a(50 b)

b If there is a smooth connection to the platform then x = 4 could be a turning point and an intercept. So, (x 4)2 could be a
factor. The other turning point at (0, 3) suggests another x intercept to the left at x = b, where b is negative. So, in factor form:

For f(x) = |3(x 3)2 10| the

the basic form is y =

Translated a units right so y =

Translated b units up so y =

+ b . This is not one of the
xa
options, however,
1
y=

ax
The answer is B.
2 Triple root at x = a. Double root at x

5 f:[0, 3] R, f(x) = 2(x + 1)2 5


TP = (1, 5) this is outside the
domain of [0, 3]
f(0) = 2(1)2 5
= 3
f(3) = 2(4)2 5
= 27
Therefore the range is [3, 27]
The answer is D.
6 3x + ay = 12
ax + 3y = 4a

Extended response
1 a v = at + b
200
2
= 100 km/h
Therefore, a = 100
so v = 100t + b.
At t = 1, v = 0
0 = 100 1 + b
b = 100.
Hence, v = 100t 100
b v = 119
119 = 100t 100
219 = 100t
219
t =
100

Hence 2:11 pm
c v = 269
269 = 100t 100

t=

Hence 3:42 pm

Rate of change =

d It predicts that the wind speed will


increase indefinitely. It also
predicts a negative speed at noon.
These problems could be avoided
simply by restricting the domain to
be [1, 3.69] for example.
e i If the wind peaked at 5 pm then
(5, 256) would be a turning
point.
In turning point form the rule
for the quadratic model would
be v(t) = a(t 5)2 + 256.
Since v(1) = 0,
0 = a(1 5)2 + 256
256 = 16a
256
a=
16
= 16
the model is v(t) = 16(t 5)2
+ 256.
Using this model:
v(3) = 16 (2)2 + 256
= 192 km/hour. This is reasonably
close to the recorded value of
200 km/hour.
ii Predicted value is v(12)
= 16 72 + 256
= 528 km/hour. Clearly the
model is inadequate.
f i t-intercepts when t = 1, 13
v2(t) = a(t 1)(t 13).
t = 5, v = 256 km/h.
Using this
256 = a (5 4) (5 13)
256 = 32a
a = 8
The model is
v2(t) = 8(t 1)(t 13).
ii Check model for t = 3.
v2(3) = 8(3 1)(3 13)
= 8 2 10
= 160 km/hour.
Compared with actual value of
200 km/hour, the model is not
adequate. The maximum wind
speed is predicted at t = 7
(t value of the TP):
v2(7) = 8(7 1)(7 13)
= 8 6 6
= 288 km/hour which is
later and faster than the
actual data.

Using cubic regression and CAS,


we get
v3(t) = x3 27x2 + 195x 169.
h i The graph is symmetrical, so the
500
vertical asymptote is x =
2
x = 250
ii We need an estimate for the
horizontal asymptote. It seems
reasonable to use v = 0.
a
v(x) =
( x 250)2

v(0) 30
30 =

a
(250) 2

a = 30 (250)2
= 1 875 000
1875 000
so the rule is v(t) =
( x 250) 2
iii This function has the form
A
+B
P(t) =
( x 250)2

B is approximately 1020
(horizontal asymptote) so
A
P(t) =
+ 1020 .
( x 250) 2
P(0) 1010
A
1010 =

(250)2
10 =

A
(250) 2

so A = 10 2502
= 625 000
Hence, the rule is

P(t) =

On a calculator page, complete the entry line as:
solve (a2 4a k = 0, a)
Write the solution as:
Solving a2 4a k = 0 for a gives:
a = 2+ k +4
or
a = 2 k +4
Substitute back in for a = ekx
ekx = 2 + k + 4 or

Domain restricted to (3, )


The answer is C.
b Domain restricted to [0, 3)
The answer is D.
6 The graph of the function f(x) = x2 + 1 is as follows:
It is not a one-to-one function but could be made one-to-one
by splitting the domain into either R+ {0} or R {0}, the
right and left arms of the parabola respectively.
a The answer is D.
b The positive set above is R+ {0} and so [0, ) satisfies.
The answer is C.
7 a Select either the right half of the parabola or the left half.
These will both form one-to-one functions, So f 1 exists.
The largest domain is (, 0] or [0, ).
b Right half of parabola has domain [3, ]. Left half has
domain (, 3]. Solution [3, ).
c Divide the graph into three sections with vertical lines
through x = 3 and x = 1. Each section is one-to-one,
therefore has an inverse function f 1.
The largest domain is [1, ).
d The function is one-to-one, with domain (0, ). So f 1
exists over the whole domain (0, ), or R+.
e The function is one-to-one, with domain R. So f 1 exists
over the entire domain R.
f The function can be split into two one-to-one functions
each with an inverse. So f 1 exists over the domains
[9, 0] or [0, 9].
g The function can be split into two one-to-one functions by
a vertical line through x = 5. So f 1 exists over the
domains [1, 5] or [5, 9].
h The y-axis divides f(x) into two one-to-one functions. So
f 1 exists over (, 0) or (0, ).
i The vertical line x = 5 divides f(x) into two one-to-one
functions, so f 1 exists over the domain (, 5) or (5, ).

g(x) is an inverted parabola translated upwards 9 units.


For g1(x) to exist, we must restrict the domain of g so
that g(x) is a one-to-one function. Choose the left or right
half of the parabola, that is, domains (, 0] or [0, ).
Given the domain is [b, 8], we have a section of the right
half of the parabola. The smallest value of b is 0.
b Find g1, given g(x) = 9 x2
x = 9 y2
y2 = 9 x

y = 9 x
Now
Dom g = [0, 8]
x = 0 g(x) = 9
x = 8 g(x) = 55
Ran g = [55, 9]
Hence
dom g1 = [55, 9]
ran g1 = [0, 8]
As ran g1 is positive, we take the positive square root.
Hence g1: [55, 9] R, g1(x) =

4 a f(x) = 3 loge(x + 4) is a log function reflected in the


x-axis and translated (4, 3). Hence its domain is (4, ).
As the log function is one-to-one, f(x) is defined over its
entire domain.
Domain = (4, )
b g(x) = (x 2)2 is a parabola. A vertical line at x = 2
divides g(x) into two one-to-one functions. Hence g(x) is

Reflection in the y-axis domain is [5, 2].

Let y = x2 + 1.
For the rule of the inverse function, interchange x and y
x = y2 + 1.
y2 = x 1

y = x 1
Since the domain of the function is [1, ) the appropriate
choice is y = x 1. The range of the function is [2, ) so

6 Basic graph is sine or cosine.
Period is T, so A and E are eliminated.
Amplitude is 2a so C is eliminated.
Check B amplitude of 2a produces reflected cosine
graph with no horizontal translation.
This fits

to the right.

In this case the translation has to be a function of T so D
cannot be correct.
The answer is B.
7 If x = a is one solution to an equation of the form
cos(2x) = k, then x = a will also be a solution. The third
solution will be a period beyond x = a at x = a + .
So the two adjacent solutions are x = a and x = a + . The
difference between them will be (a + ) a = 2a
The answer is E.

1 To compare graphs the standard deviation is needed.
2 = 4, = 2
2 = 0.25, = 0.5
So one variable has four times the spread of the other.
95% of the data of one covers 8 units, 95% of the other
covers 2 units.
Options B and E are consistent with this. The area under the
graph should equal 1 so as the width of the distribution
increases, its height must decrease.
The answer is E.

Using the graphics calculator:


InvNorm (0.9, 75, 8) = 85.252
An A grade sunflower must be at least 85.252 cm.
b InvNorm(0.8, 75, 8) = 81.732
Therefore B grade flowers lie between 81.732 cm and 85.252 cm.
c InvNorm(0.7, 75, 8) = 79.195
C grade flowers lie between 79.195 cm and 81.732 cm.
