Question 1

The diagram shows a section of a suspension bridge carrying a road over water. The height of the cables above water level in metres can be modelled by the function $h(x)=0.00012 x^{2}+200$, where $x$ is the displacement in metres from the centre of the bridge.
    (a) Interpret the meaning of the constant term $200$ in the model.
    (b) Use the model to find the two values of $x$ at which the height is $346 \mathrm{~m}$.
    (c) Given that the towers at each end are $346 \mathrm{~m}$ tall, use your answer to part $\mathbf{b}$ to calculate the length of the bridge to the nearest metre.

Solution

$\textbf{(a) }\quad$ The bridge is $200 \mathrm{~m}$ above water level, since this is the height at the centre of the bridge.
$\begin{aligned} &\\ \textbf{(b) }\quad 0.00012 x^{2}+200&=346\\\\ 12 x^{2}+200 &=346 \\\\ 0.00012 x^{2} &=146 \\\\ x^{2} &=\frac{146}{0.00012} \\\\ x &=\pm \sqrt{\frac{146}{0.00012}}\\\\ \therefore\ x=1103 \text{ or }x&=-1103\\\\ \end{aligned}$
So the height of the bridge is $346 \mathrm{~m}$, at the point $1103 \mathrm{~m}$ from the centre of the bridge.
$\begin{aligned} &\\ \textbf{(c) }\quad \textbf{length of tower }&=2 \times 1103\\\\ &=2206 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned}$

Question 2

A diver launches herself off a springboard. The height of the diver, in metres, above the pool $t$ seconds after launch can be modelled by the following function: $$ h(t)=5 t-10 t^{2}+10, t \geq 0 $$
(a) How high is the springboard above the water?
(b) Use the model to find the time at which the diver hits the water.
(c) Rearrange $h(t)$ into the form $A-B(t-C)^{2}$ and give the values of the constants $A, B$ and $C$.
(d) Using your answer to part c or otherwise, find the maximum height of the diver, and the time at which this maximum height is reached.

Solution

$\begin{aligned} \text{(a) }\quad &\text{height of springboard above water}\\\\ &=h(0) \\\\ &=10 \mathrm{~m} \\\\F \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \text{(b) }\quad \text{When the diver } & \text{ hits water,}\\\\ h(t)&=0 \\\\ 5 t-10 t^{2}+10&=0 \\\\ t^{2}-\frac{t}{2}-1&=0 \\\\ t^{2}-\frac{t}{2}&=7\\\\ \left(t^{2}-\frac{t}{2}+\frac{1}{16}\right) &=1+\frac{1}{16} \\\\ \left(t-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2} &=\frac{17}{16} \\\\ \therefore\ t &=\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{4} \quad(\because t \geq 0) \\\\ &=1.3 \mathrm{~s}\\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} h(t) &=5 t-10 t^{2}+10 \\\\ &=-10\left(t^{2}-\frac{1}{2} t\right)+10 \\\\ &=-10\left(t^{2}-\frac{1}{2} t+\frac{1}{16}\right)+10+\frac{10}{16} \\\\ &=-10\left(t-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2}+\frac{85}{8} \\\\ &=\frac{85}{8}-10\left(t-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2} \\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\therefore A -B(t-C)^{2}=\dfrac{85}{8}-10\left(t-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2}$
$\begin{aligned} &\\ \therefore A &=\frac{85}{8}=10.625 \\\\ B &=10 \\\\ C &=\frac{1}{4}=0.25\\\\ \end{aligned}$
The vertex of graph is at $(C, A)=(0.25,10.625)\\\\ $.
$\therefore$ At $t=0.25 \mathrm{~s}$, the maximum height of the diver is $10.625 \mathrm{~m}$

Question 3

A car manufacturer uses a model to predict the fuel consumption, $y$ miles per gallon $(\mathrm{mpg})$, for a specific model of car travelling at a speed of $x \mathrm{~mph}$. $$ y=-0.01 x^{2}+0.975 x+16, x>0 $$
    (a) Use the model to find two speeds at which the car has a fuel consumption of $32.5 \mathrm{~mpg}$.
    (b) Rewrite $y$ in the form $A-B(x-C)^{2}$, where $A, B$ and $C$ are constants to be found.
    (c) Using your answer to part $b$, find the speed at which the car has the greatest fuel efficiency.
    (d) Use the model to calculate the fuel consumption of a car travelling at $120 \mathrm{~mph}$. Comment on the validity of using this model for very high speeds.

Solution

$\begin{aligned} \text {(a) } \hspace{1.5cm} y &=-0.01 x^{2}+0.975 x+16 \\\\ y &=\text { fuel consumption in (mpg)} \\\\ x &=\text { speed (mph) } \\\\ \text { When } y &=32.5 \\\\ 32.5 &=-0.01 x^{2}+0.975 x+16 \\\\ 0 &=-0.01 x^{2}+0.975 x-16.5 \\\\ 0 &=x^{2}-97.5 x+1650\\\\ \therefore x&=21.8 \text{ or } x=75.7\\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\therefore$ The car has fuel consumption $32.5 \mathrm{mpg}$ at the speed $21.8$ mph or $75.7$ mph.
$\begin{aligned} &\\ \text {(b) }\quad y &=-0.01\left(x^{2}-97.5 x\right)+16 \\\\ &=-0.01\left(x^{2}-97.5 x+48.75^{2}\right)+16+0.01(48.75)^{2} \\\\ &=-0.01(x-48.75)^{2}+39.77 \\\\ &=39.77-0.01(x-48.75)^{2} \\\\ \therefore A &-B(x-C)^{2}=39.77-0.01(x-48.75)^{2} \\\\ \therefore A &=39.77, B=0.01, C=48.75\\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\text {(c) }\quad $ The speed at which the car has greatest fuel efficiency is $48.75$ mph.
$\begin{aligned} &\\ \text {(d) }\quad \text{ When } x&=120 \mathrm{mph},\\\\ y &=39.77-0.01(120-48.75)^{2} \\\\ &=-10.99 \\\\ &=-11 \text { mpg }\\\\ \end{aligned}$
Since the negative fuel consumption is impossible, this model is not valid for very high speeds.

Question 4

A fertiliser company uses a model to determine how the amount of fertiliser used, $f$ kilograms per hectare, affects the grain yield $g$, measured in tonnes per hectare. $$ g=6+0.03 f-0.00006 f^{2} $$
    (a) According to the model, how much grain would each hectare yield without any fertiliser?
    (b) One farmer currently uses $20$ kilograms of fertiliser per hectare. How much more fertiliser would he need to use to increase his grain yield by 1 tonne per hectare?

Solution

$\text{(a) } \quad g=$ the grain yield in ton/hectare.

$\qquad f=$ amount of fertiliser used in $\mathrm{kg} /$ hectare
$\begin{aligned} &\\ \text{(b) }\ g&=6+0.03f-0.00006 f^{2}\\\\ &\text{grain yield withont fertilizer}\\\\ &=6+0.03(0)-0.00006(0)^{2} \\\\ &=6 \text { ton/hactare}\\\\ \quad\text{When } f&=20,\\\\ g &=6+0.03(20)-0.00006(20)^{2} \\\\ &=6.576\\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\text{(c) }\ $ required amount of grain yield $=6.576+1$ tonnes
$\begin{aligned} &\\ 6+0.03 f-0.00006 f^{2}&=7.576\\\\ \therefore\ 0.00006 f^{2}-0.03 f+1.576&=0\\\\ f=440.4 \text { (or) (reject) } f&=59.6 \\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \therefore\ &\text{ amount of extra fertiliser needed}\\\\ &=59.6-20 \\\\ &=39.6 \mathrm{~kg} / \text { hectare } \end{aligned}$

Question 5

A spear is thrown over level ground from the top of a tower. The height, in metres, of the spear above the ground after $t$ seconds is modelled by the function: $$ h(t)=12.25+14.7 t-4.9 t^{2}, t \geq 0 $$
    (a) Interpret the meaning of the constant term $12.25$ in the model.
    (b) After how many seconds does the spear hit the ground?
    (c) Write $\mathrm{h}(t)$ in the form $A-B(t-C)^{2}$, where $A, B$ and $C$ are constants to be found. (d) Using your answer to part (c) or otherwise, find the maximum height of the spear above the ground, and the time at which this maximum height is reached.

Solution

$\begin{aligned} \text{(a) }\quad &h(t)=12.25+14.7 t-4.9 t^{2}, t \geq 0 \\\\ &t=0, h(t)=12.25 \mathrm{~m}\\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\therefore$ The constant term $12.25 \mathrm{~m}$ is the height of tower.
$\begin{aligned} &\\ \text{(b) }\quad &\text{When the spear hit the ground,}\\\\ &h(t)=0 . \\\\ &12.25+14.7 t-4.9 t^{2}=0 \\\\ &t=-0.68 \text { or } t=3.68\\\\ \end{aligned}$
Since $t \geq 0$, the spear took $3.68 \mathrm{~s}$ to hit the ground.
$\begin{aligned} &\\ \text{(c) }\quad h(t) &=12.25+14.7 t-4.9 t^{2} \\\\ &=-4.9\left(t^{2}-3 t\right)+12.25 \\\\ &=-4.9\left(t^{2}-3 t+1.5^{2}\right)+12.25+4.9\left(1.5^{2}\right) \\\\ &=-4.9(t-1.5)^{2}+23.275 \\\\ &=23.275-4.9(t-1.5)^{2} \\\\ \therefore\ A &-B(t-C)^{2}=23.275-4.9(t-1.5)^{2} \\\\ \therefore\ A &=23.275, B=4.9, C=1.5\\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\text{(d) }\quad$ The vertex of the gragh is $(C, A)=(1.5,23.275)\\\\ $
$\therefore$ When $t=1.58$, the spear reached the maximun height of $23.275 \mathrm{~m}$.

Question 6

For this question, $f(x)=4 k x^{2}+(4 k+2) x+1$, where $k$ is a real constant.
    (a) Find the discriminant of $f(x)$ in terms of $k$
    (b) By simplifying your answer to part a or otherwise, prove that $\mathrm{f}(x)$ has two distinct real roots for all non-zero values of $k$.
    (c) Explain why $f(x)$ cannot have two distinct real roots when $k=0$.

Solution

$\begin{aligned} \text{(a) }\quad f(x)=4 k x^{2}+&(4 k+2) x+1 \\\\ \text { discriminant } &=(4 k+2)^{2}-4(4 k)(1) \\\\ &=16 k^{2}+16 k+4-16 k \\\\ &=4\left(4 k^{2}+1\right), k \neq 0\\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\text{(b) }\quad$ Since $k^{2} \geq 0$ for all real values of $k$, $4\left(4 k^{2}+1\right)>0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$.

$\qquad\therefore(x)=0$ has always two distinct roots for all non-zero values of $k$.

$\text{(c) }\quad$ When $k=0, f(x)=2 x+1$ which is a linear function with only one root.

$\qquad\therefore f(x)$ can't have two distinct roots when $f(x)=0$.
