QUESTION FIVE Assessor’s


use only

The equation of part of a roller coaster track is y = 0.4x3 + 0.4x2 - 4.8x,


where y is the height of the track in metres at a horizontal distance of
x metres from a fixed point on the track.
The instantaneous path of a roller coaster car at any point on the track is the
tangent to the track at that point.

Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y = 0.4x3 + 0.4x2 - 4.8x when x = 3.

QUESTION SIX

The distance of a canoe from the shore is given by


s = 36t - 0.1t2
where s is the distance in metres and t is the time in minutes since the canoe left the shore.
Calculate the maximum distance of the canoe from the shore.

Calculate the area between the graph y = x2 + x - 6


= (x + 3) (x - 2)
and the x-axis for 0 # x # 4.

QUESTION EIGHT

An object is moving in a straight line through a fixed point A.


When the object first passes through A it is travelling at 5 cm per sec and the timing begins.
The acceleration of the object is given by
a = 6t - 16
where acceleration a is in cm per sec2 at a time t seconds after the object first passes through A.

Find the distance of the object from A the second time it comes to rest.
