1. Find the value(s) of k for which the line y=kx+ 3 does not intersect the curve
2
y=2 x +4 x +k −1.
2 x+ 3
2. Sketch the function y= and state its domain and range.
x−4
7. Solve simultaneously:
2 log x y +2 log y x=5
xy=8
8. A man bought a new car. The value, $V, of the car will depreciate so that after t months, its
value can be modelled by V =50000 e−kt where k is a constant. The value of the car after 12
months is expected to be $ 40,000.
(a) Find the initial value of the car.
(b) Calculate the expected value of the car after 20 months.
(c) Given that the value of the car first drops below $ 20,000 after n months, where n is an
integer, find the value of n .
9. The value of a precious stone at the beginning of 1960 was € 2500. The value increased continuously
so that, after a period of t years, the value of the stone was given by the expression 2500 ( 1.05 )t . Find
(a) The value of the stone, to the nearest €, at the beginning of 1980.
(b) The year in which the value of the stone first reached € 10,000.
10. Let f ( x)=1+ e−x and g(x )=2 x+ b, for x ∈ R, where b is a constant.
(a) Find (g ∘ f )(x).
(b) Given that as x → ∞ ,(g ∘ f )→−3 , find the value of b .
11. OPQ is a sector with centre at O and PXY is a sector with centre at P.
If OQ = 20cm, PY = 8cm, angle XPY = 1.1 rad and arc PQ = 14 cm, find:
(a) The value of θ in radians.
(b) The shaded area in cm2.
12. A circle of radius 20 cm with centre at O is inscribed in a sector PAQ with centre at A.
AP and AQ are tangents to the circle at B and C respectively.
Calculate:
(a) The length of arc PQ.
(b) Area of the shaded region.
14. For which values of m does the equation y=4 x 2 +mx+m−3 have
(a) real roots?
(b) a positive y−¿ intercept?
2 x−4
17. Find the value of k for which f ( x )= is a self-inverse function.
