so reject option A.
For option B,

When z  2  i, x  2 so reject option B.
For option C, 2 Re( z )  Im( z )

So reject option C.
For option D, | z  2 | 1,
( x  2)2  y 2  1
( x  2) 2  y 2  1
When z  2  i , 0  ( 1) 2  1 so option D is correct.

Question 9

g ( x)   x3  kx
g '( x)  3x 2  k
g ''( x )  6 x
g ''( x )  0 when x  0
So the stationary point of the gradient graph g '( x) , occurs at x  0 .
The gradient graph of g is a concave downward parabola with turning point at (0, k ) so the
gradient of g will always be strictly decreasing for x  0 .
The answer is A.

The approximate solution curve corresponding to the condition y (3)  2 is drawn above.
The value of x when y  0 for this solution curve could be 2.2.
The answer is C.

Question 12

The area above the t-axis is given by 4 1 0.5  3 0.5  3  7 .


So the body travels a total of 7 units in one direction.

The area below the t-axis is given by 0.5  0.5  4 1.5  4  0.5  0.5  4  8 units .
When the area below the t-axis is 7, the body has returned to its initial position.

Between t  3.5 and t  5.5 ,


area  0.5  0.5  4  1.5  4
 7 units
So the body will first return to its initial position when t  5.5

Question 15
Method 1
Consider the force vectors head to tail.
We see that the resultant force has
magnitude of 102  242  26 N . 26 N 24 N

Since F  ma
26  2a 10 N

a 13
The answer is B.

Method 2
resultant force  10 ~i  24 j
~

so 10 ~i  24 j  2a~
~

a~  5 ~i  12 j

The answer is C. mg

Question 17
Note that m  n , so the m kg particle will accelerate downwards and the n kg particle will
accelerate upwards.

For the m kg particle:

mg  T  m  2.45
T  mg  2.45m
T  m (g  2.45)
T
For the n kg particle:
T
T  ng  n  2.45 n kg
T  n (2.45  g )
m kg

So m ( g  2.45)  n (2.45  g )
7.35m  12.25n ( g  9.8) mg

The complex number z has been rotated 90 in a clockwise direction to become the complex
number iz .
Hence the line segment joining O and 2z lies at an angle of 90 to the line segment joining O
and iz .
The quadrilateral is therefore a rectangle.
So area  2 z iz

Question 9

Given that f '( x)  0 and f ''( x)  0 then the graph of f has a negative gradient and is concave
down over its entire domain.
An example of such a graph is shown.

y
y  f (x)

x
O

Both the function and the gradient of f will be strictly decreasing. There can be no non-
stationary points of inflection because the graph does not change its concavity i.e. f ''( x) is
negative over the entire domain.
The answer is A.

Question 10

Along the x-axis, the gradient is zero.


dy
For option A,  x 2  y except at the origin so reject option A.
dx
For option B, the same applies so reject option B.
dy dy
For option C,  y 2 , this satisfies the x-axis markings where  0 for all values of x.
dx dx
When y 1 , the gradient is approximately 1 as is the case when y  1 .
For other values of y the differential equation also holds.
The answer is C.

Question 11

For option A, a rhombus has all four sides of equal length so a~  b~ .

For option B, a.b  a b~ cos () .


~ ~ ~

Since  , which is the angle between a and b , is greater than 90,


~ ~

then cos()  0
So a.b  0
~ ~

For option C, a~  b~ so a~  ~b .

For option E, the scalar product of the diagonal vectors a  b and a  b is zero because these
~ ~ ~ ~

two vectors are perpendicular in a rhombus.


For option D, a~  b~  0 .

The answer is D.

iz
Since x < 0 and y > 0 then must be in the fourth quadrant because the denominator is
|z |
positive, the real component of the numerator (y) is positive and the imaginary component of
the numerator (x) is negative.
iz
And since x 2 + y 2 <1, then must lie further from the origin than z.
|z |
So it could only be represented by z 3 .
The answer is C.

Question 5 (cont’d)
Method 2 – geometric approach
Let z= x + yi, where z is in the second quadrant .
z represents a reflection of z in the x-axis and lies in the third quadrant.
i z represents a rotation of z by 90° anticlockwise and lies in the fourth quadrant.
Since | z |< 1, then dividing i z by | z | will increase the magnitude of i z . The option in the
fourth quadrant corresponding to this is z3 .
The answer is C.

ineffective.
