Therefore, Mary’s claim is agreed.
Performance:
(a) Very good.
(b) Poor. Many students did not know the meaning of translation. They assumed that a single
translation was equivalent to a single transformation. Some consider log 4 h(x) instead of h(x).

(b) Fair. Most students did very well if they could get (a) correctly.

18 ∵ O is the orthocentre of ΔOBD , 1 mark for correct proof
(a)(i) ∴ ∠DOB = 90° but missing reasons.
∵ AB is a diameter of circle ABC,
∴ ∠ACB = 90° ( ∠ in semi - circle ) 2 mark for correct proof
∴ ∠ACB = ∠DOB = 90° with correct reasons.
∴ B, C, O and D are concyclic (converse of ∠s in same segment)
(a)(ii) ∵ incentre of ΔBCD lies on AB,
∴ ∠DBA = ∠ABC 1
∵ B, C, O and D are concyclic,
∠DBA = ∠DCO (∠s in same segment) 1
∴ ∠DCO = ∠ABC
∴ OC is a tangent to the circle ABC (converse of ∠ in alt. segment) 1
18(b) ∵ incentre of ΔBCD lies on AB,
∴∠DBO = ∠OBC

Performance:
(a) Good. Some did not state the two equal angles before stating converse of angle in same
segments.
(b) Good. Some did not state the two equals angles before stating converse of angle in alternate
segment.
(c) Fair. Some students found the coordinates of C by solving intersection of a circle and a straight
line, but did not recognize that the y-coordinate is negative.

Volume of ABCE is maximum when ∠CED = 90° . 1M
When ∠CED = 90° ,
BC = (25cos30°)2 + (70 − 25cos30°)2 ≈ 52.976

1A For either BC or
Using cosine law in ΔADC , AC.
AC = 252 + 702 − 2 ⋅ 25 ⋅ 70 ⋅ cos 30° ≈ 49.939
In ΔABC ,
AC 2 + AB 2 − BC 2
cos ∠BAC = 1M For finding

∠BAC = 82.8°
The volume of the pyramid ABCE increases as ∠BAC
increases from 25° to 82.8° and then decreases as ∠BAC
increases from 82.8° to 150° .Therefore the claim is agreed. 1A
Performance:
(a) Excellent.
(b) Poor. Students did not recognize the right angle in E and could not make use of this to find
the volume of the pyramid. Most tried to find the area of the base ABC and thus could not
get the height of the pyramid.
(c) Very poor.
