Tip: If this had been a calculator question, you could have solved the simultaneous equations
9 The easiest way to deal with sigma notation is to write out the first few terms by substituting
in 𝑟 1, 𝑟 2, 𝑟 3, etc.:
𝑆 16 21 26 …
So the first term is 16 and the common difference is 5.
10 Your GDC should have a sum function, which can be used for this. The answer will be
26350, but you should still write down the first term and common difference found in
question 9 as part of your working.
11 This is an arithmetic sequence with first term 500 and common difference 100. The question
is asking for 𝑆 .
28
𝑆 2 500 100 27 51800 m

Tip: The hardest part of this question is realising that it is looking for the sum of the sequence,
rather than just how far Ahmed ran on the 28th day.
12 2.4% of $300 is $7.20. This is the common difference. After one year, there is $307.20 in
the account, so this is the ‘first term’.
𝑢 307.20 9 7.20 $372
Tip: The hardest part of this question is being careful with what ‘after 10 years’ means – it is
very easy to be out by one year.
13 a The differences in velocity are 1.1, 0.8 and 0.8. Their average is 0.9. When 𝑡 0.5 we
are looking for the sixth term of the sequence which would be
𝑢 0 0.9 5 4.5 m s
b There are many criticisms which could be made about this model – for example:
There is too little data for it to be reliable.
There is no theoretical reason given for it being an arithmetic sequence.
The ball will eventually hit the ground.
The model predicts that the ball’s velocity grows without limit.
There seems to be a pattern with smaller differences later on.

Tip: You can always use either sum formula, but generally if r is between 0 and 1 the second
formula avoids negative numbers.
18 The easiest way to deal with sigma notation is to write out the first few terms by substituting
in 𝑟 1, 𝑟 2, 𝑟 3, etc.:
𝑆 10 50 250 …
So the first term is 10 and the common ratio is 5.
19 Your GDC should have a sum function, which can be used for this. The answer will be
24414060, but you should still write down the first term and common ratio found in
question 18 as part of your working.
20 a This is a geometric sequence with first term 50,000 and common ratio 1.2. ‘After 12
days’ corresponds to the 13th term of the sequence so:
𝑢 50,000 1.2 445805
b The model suggests that the number of bacteria can grow without limit.

48 𝑦 3f 𝑥 is vertical stretch with scale factor 3 and a horizontal stretch with scale factor 2
(in either order):
49 Graph A is a polynomial with even degree since for large positive and large negative
values of 𝑥 the behaviour is the same.
Graphs B and C are both polynomials with odd degree since in each case the behaviour for
large positive values of 𝑥 is opposite to that for large negative values of 𝑥.
Since graph B is large and positive when 𝑥 is large and negative, the highest power must
have a negative coefficient.
So, graph A has equation b
graph B has equation c
graph C has equation a
50 The term with the highest power of 𝑥 is 2𝑥 so the graph has negative cubic shape.
There are roots at 𝑥 1 and 𝑥 3 but since the factor 𝑥 1 is squared, the graph only
touches the 𝑥-axis at 𝑥 1.

b The position vector at time 𝑡 is given by 𝐫 𝐫 𝑡𝐯:

65 First check whether one direction vector is a multiple of the other:
4 2

6 3
So, the lines have the same direction.
Then check whether the given point on 𝑙 also lies on 𝑙 (or vice versa):

0 6 4𝜇 ⇒ 𝜇 1.5
8 7 10𝜇 ⇒ 𝜇 1.5
5 4 6𝜇 ⇒ 𝜇 1.5
Since 𝑙 and 𝑙 have the same direction and share a common point, they are coincident.

So, the system is inconsistent and therefore the planes don’t intersect.
The normals to the three planes are:
1 4 6
𝐧 3 ,𝐧 1 ,𝐧 5
2 1 3
Since none of these normals are parallel to each other (none is a multiple of another), no two
planes are parallel.
Therefore, the planes form a triangular prism.
Note that the only other possibilities for non-intersecting planes are that either one plane
intersects two parallel planes or the three planes are all parallel.
81 First find a normal to the plane:

8 The proportion from Italy is . The stratified sample must be in the same proportion,
so it should contain 20 8 students from Italy.
9 The proportion is
11 a The total frequency is 160. Reading off half of this frequency (80) on the frequency axis
is about 42 on the x-axis, which is the median.
b The lower quartile corresponds to a frequency of 40, which is an x-value of
approximately 30.
The upper quartile corresponds to a frequency of 120 which is an x-value of
approximately 60. Therefore, the interquartile range is 60 30 30
c The 90th percentile corresponds to a frequency of 0.9 160 144. This has an x-value
of about 72 which is the 90th percentile.
12 Putting the data into the GDC, the following summary statistics can be found:
Min: 12, lower quartile: 14, median: 16, upper quartile: 18.5, max: 20
