Question
A piece of wire of length 24cm is bent to form the perimeter of a sector of a circle of radius r cm.
(i)Show that the area of the sector ,\(Acm^{2}\) is given by \(A=12r-r^{2}\)
(ii)Express A in the form \(a-\left ( r-b \right )^{2}\),where a and b are constants.
(iii)Given that r can vary,state the greatest value of A and find the corresponding angle of the sector.
Answer/Explanation
(i)\(24=r+r+r\Theta\)
\(\rightarrow \Theta =\frac{24-2r}{r}\)
\(A=\frac{1}{2}r^{2}\Theta =\frac{24r}{2}-r^{2}=12r-r^{2}\)
(ii)\(A=36-(r-6)^{2}\)
(iii)Greatest value of A=36
r=6→\(\Theta =2\)
Question
The line with gradient -2 passing through the point P(3t,2t)intersects the x-axis at A and the y-axis at B.
(i)Find the area of triangle AOB in terms of t.
(ii)The line through P perpendicular to AB intersects the x-axis at C.
Show that the mid-point of PC lies on the line y=x.
Answer/Explanation
(i)\(y-2t=-2(x-3t)\rightarrow y+2x=8t\)
Set x to 0→B(0,8t)
Set y to 0→A(4t,0)
\(\rightarrow Area=16t^{2}\)
(ii)\(m=\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\rightarrow y-2t=\frac{1}{2}(x-3t)\rightarrow 2y=x+t\)
Set y to 0\(\rightarrow C(-t,0)\)
Mid point of Cp is (t,t)
This lies on the line y=x.

(iii) Find the possible values of a given that the equation\( f^{-1}\left ( x \right )=g^{-1}\left ( x \right )\) has two equal roots.
Answer/Explanation
\(f:x\rightarrow \frac{2}{3-2x}\) \(g:x\rightarrow 4x+a\),
(i)\(y=\frac{2}{3-2x}\rightarrow y\left ( 3-2x \right )=2\rightarrow 3-2x=\frac{2}{y}\)
\(\rightarrow 2x=3-\frac{2}{y}\rightarrow f^{-1}\left ( x \right )=\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{x}\)
(ii)\(gf(-1)=3f(-1)=\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{8}{5}+a=3\rightarrow a=\frac{7}{5}\)
(iii)\(g^{-1}\left ( x \right )=\frac{x-a}{4}=f^{-1}\left ( x \right )\)
\(\rightarrow x^{2}-x\left ( a+6 \right )+4(=0)\)
Solving \left ( a+6 \right )^{2}=16 or \(a^{2}+12a+20(=0)\)
\(\rightarrow a=-2\) or -10
