what was Q number 10
Original post by anagram11
Am i the only one who got 5-2sqrt3<c<5+2sqrt3?


c > 0

if u drew the graph you should have gotten c<5-2sqrt3 or c>5+2sqrt3

It was above the x axis so c<5-2sqrt3 or c>5+2sqrt3

c<5-2sqrt(3) and c> 5+sqrt(3)


For this I got the same but for the first 0<c<5-2root3 then c>5+root3 because it said c was positive? Idk if that'd be right though ^-^

for question 2 I got a = 1/8. anyone agree/disagree?


I got 1/16 I managed to get to 1/8sqrt(2) which I rationalized to 1/16 * sqrt(2)

1) +C
2)a=1/16
3) a2 = 2k
a3 = k+1/2
k=17/6
4) d=6
10316 total
5) x=3 and x=-1
6) (x-4)^2+3
Minimum point at (4,3) intercept at (0,19)
PQ : 4sqrt(17) units
7)
8) 5x-4y-49=0
Area = 369/10
9) line theough (0,C)
Asymptote at y= 5
equate and disciminant greater than 0
c<5-2sqrt(3) and c> 5+sqrt(3)
10) k = 75
c = 5/2
just differentiate
x = -5/3

(some questions might be missing; reply with edits)


I think your answer to question 3 is wrong. For a3 i got 2k^2+k
And so my k was different k=3/2
I got 291/10 for the area dammit

Did it say c was positive? Well I dropped that mark then

I got the same area for triangle. I made a silly mistake that I corrected but still used the wrong number :/ for the PQ distance question


My answer was a madness smh

I swear i flopped so bad
what did you guys get for the computer question. I was stumped. how did you guys find it my hands were spasming?
For question 2: a=1/16

Final answer = 1/16 sqrt2
The inequality question had the values of c below the line because if (5-c)^2 > 12

0 > 12 - (5-c)^2

(5-c)^2 - 12 < 0 where y = 0

Almost certain the area of that triangle one is 36.9. 12.3*0.5*6. I got it wrong :biggrin: multiplied by the x coord (5) instead of the y one (6).


I think you got it correct
For Q9,
the quadratic (5-c)^2 - 12 is a U shape, which means that for > 0, you are looking at the leftmost and rightmost sides (not the inner bits).
Also, bear in mind that c is POSITIVE (this means that there is a second bound, c >= 0).
This gives us final bounds as
0 <= c < 5-2sqrt(3), and
c < 5+2sqrt(3)


(could be wrong here, but since in the question it mentions that c is indeed a positive constant, it should be bound by c >= 0)

Didn't you have to divide by 2k?
for a3 I got k + 1/2
Fssssssssss i made a silly mistake think i got 74.5 out of 75 suck ur mum

its 2k^2 + 1/2


k/2k = 1/2
