In this question you will use a historic method of calculating the cost of a barrel of wine to determine which shape of barrel gives the best value for money.
In Austria in the 17th century, one method for measuring the volume of a barrel of wine, and hence determining its cost, was by inserting a straight stick into a hole in the side, as shown in the following diagram, and measuring the length SD . The longer the length, the greater the cost to the customer.

Let SD be d metres and the cost be C gulden (the local currency at the time). When the length of SD was 0.5 metres, the cost was 0.80 gulden.

(a)

Given that C was directly proportional to d, find an equation for C in terms of d.

A particular barrel of wine cost 0.96 gulden.

(b)

Show that d=0.6.

(c)

Find the equation of the quadratic curve, ASB .

(d)

This question considers the optimal route between two points, separated by several regions where different speeds are possible.
Huw lives in a house, H , and he attends a school, S , where H and S are marked on the following diagram. The school is situated 1.2 km south and 4 km east of Huw's house. There is a boundary [MN], going from west to east, 0.4 km south of his house. The land north of [MN] is a field over which Huw runs at 15 kilometres per hour $\left(\mathrm{km} \mathrm{h}^{-1}\right)$ . The land south of [MN] is rough ground over which Huw walks at $5 \mathrm{~km} \mathrm{~h}^{-1}$ . The two regions are shown in the following diagram.

(a)

Huw realizes that his journey time could be reduced by taking a less direct route. He therefore defines a point P on [MN] that is $x \mathrm{~km}$ east of M. Huw decides to run from H to P and then walk from P to S . Let T(x) represent the time, in hours, taken by Huw to complete the journey along this route.

Show that $T(x)=\frac{\sqrt{0.4^{2}+x^{2}}+3 \sqrt{0.8^{2}+(4-x)^{2}}}{15}$ .

This question is about comparing the academic performance of two schools.
At age 18, all students in school A and school B take the same final exam. Augustin is studying the results in these schools.
Augustin chooses to take a representative sample of size six from each school. For each student in the sample, he will conduct an interview.

(a)

Give, in context, an interpretation of the gradient 0.37 in the model.

[ 1 ]

(b)

For each student, Augustin uses the value $y-\hat{y}$ rounded to one decimal place to measure the extent to which a school helped to improve a student's results. He calls this "school value added". This is shown in Table 2.

A suitable site for the landing of a spacecraft on the planet Mars is identified at a point, A. The shortest time from sunrise to sunset at point A must be found.
Radians should be used throughout this question. All values given in the question should be treated as exact.
Mars completes a full orbit of the Sun in 669 Martian days, which is one Martian year.

On day t, where $t \in \mathbb{Z}$ , the length of time, in hours, from the start of the Martian day until sunrise at point A can be modelled by a function, R(t), where

R(t)=a \sin (b t)+c, t \in \mathbb{R} .

The graph of R is shown for one Martian year.

(a)

Use your answers to parts (b) and (c) to find

[ 3 ]

(i)

the maximum value of R(t);

[ 2 ]

(ii)

the minimum value of R(t).

[ 1 ]

(b)

Find the value of c.

Let S(t) be the length of time, in hours, from the start of the Martian day until sunset at point A on day t . S(t) can be modelled by the function

S(t)=1.5 \sin (0.00939 t+2.83)+18.65

The length of time between sunrise and sunset at point A, L(t), can be modelled by the function

L(t)=1.5 \sin (0.00939 t+2.83)-1.6 \sin (0.00939 t)+d

[ 2 ]

(c)

Find the value of d.

Let $f(t)=1.5 \sin (0.00939 t+2.83)-1.6 \sin (0.00939 t)$ and hence L(t)=f(t)+d.
f(t) can be written in the form $\operatorname{Im}\left(z_{1}-z_{2}\right)$ , where $z_{1}$ and $z_{2}$ are complex functions of t.
