Numerical Answers (click the questions for workings/explanation)

Question 1: ax + (2a - \frac{a^2}{2})x^2 + (\frac{a^3}{3} + 2a - a^2) x^3; a = 4
Question 2: x \textgreater \frac{1}{\sqrt{b}} + a or x \textless a
Question 3: 2
Question 4: a = 4, b =1; translate the graph 4 units in negative y-direction and translate the graph 2 units in positive x-direction.
Question 5: a = -1.5, b = 1.5, c = 7; x \approx -1.33; x \approx -0.145 or x \approx 1.15
Question 6: r = a + (\frac{d - a \cdot n}{b \cdot n}) b
Question 7: (\frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{ae}); \frac{1}{a^2}
Question 8: z = -1 + 2i or z = 2 - i; p =-6, q=-66; (w^2 - 2w+2)(w^2-4w+29)
Question 9: U_n = 2An - A +B; A = 3, B =-9; k=4; \frac{1}{4} (n^4 + 2n^3 + n^2) ; e^x
Question 10: a = -4.4; R(1.5, 0.5, -1); \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{10}
Question 11: \frac{dv}{dt}=c; v = 10t +4; v = \frac{1}{k}(10- 10 e^{-kt})

To be honest, this paper is really the same as the H2 Mathematics (9758). They just rephrased everything. You can see for yourself here.

    hi for Q10(ii) would it be sufficient to explain that for both P and Q do not lie on line L hence they are both not points of intersection, PRQ will never be 90degrees?

      vectors need not intersect to be perpendicular actually.

    Hello, got a quick question! For q6(ii) i remembered my teacher specifically saying r.n = d the ‘d’ is simply a constant with no meaning… so shouldnt displacement of plane from origin be d/(n^)?
    Thanks!

      yes. but n is given to be a unit vector.. it gives a lot of meaning then

    Hi, according to the 9740 papers, may I know what are ur thoughts on the expected range of grade to score A grade? Is 70 marks overall for Ppr 1 & 2 guarantee an A?
