Question 1 (2+1+2+2 marks)

A potential buyer is investigating the cost of purchasing and running a new car. There are two
models of the car:
Model P (Petrol engine): $24,000 and costs $12/100 km for fuel
Model D (Diesel engine): $26,000 and costs $8/100 km for fuel

a. What is the cost of fuel for driving the cars for 20,000 km and 100,000 km?

Model P Model D
20,000 km
100,000 km

b. Write an equation c(x) that gives the total cost of purchase a fuel as a function of each kilometre
travelled for Model P.

c. How many more kilometres can be driven in the diesel car (rather than the petrol) using $1000
worth of fuel?

d. Find how many kilometres of driving it will take for the overall cost of the diesel car (car + fuel) to
be less than the petrol model
Question 2 (2+2+2+2 marks)

height above the ground and x is the horizontal distance travelled from the cannon.

a. Find the horizontal distance that the human cannonball would travel before hitting the ground

b. Find the height of the human cannonball when he has travelled 10 metres horizontally

c. Show that the maximum height reached by the human cannon ball is 15.63 m above the ground

d. The landing net is 3 m above the ground. Using CAS or by other means, find where the centre of
the net should be placed from the cannon for a safe landing

Question 3 (3 marks)

division to factorise p(x)
Question 4 (2+2+1+1 marks)
−1 3
The shape of a slide is defined by the cubic function y= ( x −40 x 2+ 500 x −2000 ), where y is the height
250
above the ground level and x is the horizontal distance. The slide starts at x = 0 and ends where the
curve goes below ground level.

a. Find the initial starting height of the curve

b. Find the height of the slide when x = 10

c. Using CAS or by other means, find the value of x (to two decimal places) where the height of the
slide is 4 m

d. Using CAS or by other means, find the value of x where the slide ends
Question 5 (1+1+2+2 marks)

time (hours_ after the leak was found is given by: P ( t ) =80 ×10−0.02t

a. Find the initial pressure in the tyre at the time that the leak was found.

b. Find the pressure (to two decimal places) 24 hours after the leak was noticed.

c. Find the time (to the nearest hour) at which the pressure had dropped to 40 psi

d. The cyclist knows that the tyre started at a pressure of 110 psi. How many hours before the leak
was found dd the tyre start to lose pressure?
