Question 4

SLPaper 2

A farmer is placing posts at points AA, BB, and CC in the ground to mark the boundaries of a triangular piece of land on his property.

From point AA, he walks due west 230 metres to point BB. From point BB, he walks 175 metres on a bearing of 063°063° to reach point CC.

This is shown in the following diagram.

Diagram 1

The farmer wants to divide the piece of land into two sections. He will put a post at point DD, which is between AA and CC. He wants the boundary BDBD to divide the piece of land such that the sections have equal area.

This is shown in the following diagram.

Question 5

HLPaper 2

The voltage vv in a circuit is given by the equation

v(t)=3sin(100πt)v(t) = 3\sin(100\pi t)

where t0t \geqslant 0 is measured in seconds.

The current ii in this circuit is given by the equation

i(t)=2sin(100π(t+0.003))i(t) = 2\sin(100\pi(t + 0.003))

The power pp in this circuit is given by p(t)=v(t)×i(t)p(t) = v(t) \times i(t).
