1. Express the total surface area S of a cube as a function of the volume V of the cube?
2. Express the area of a equilateral triangle as a function of:
a. the length s of each side.
b. the altitude h.
3. A van travels half the distance of a journey at an average speed of 80km/h and half an average speed of x km/h. Define a function, S, which gives the average speed for the total journey as a function of x.
4. A cylinder is inscribed in a sphere with a radius of length 6 cm.

a. Define a function, V1, which gives the volume of the cylinder as a function of the height (h) (State the rule and domain.)
b. Define a function, V2, which gives the volume of the cylinder as a function of the radius (r) (State the rule and domain.)
5. The shape has area of A cm2. Find A in terms of x. State the maximal domain and range which is defined if x + x + x < 9.

This isn't a SAC right (kinda looks like one)? You really should have a go first yourself.

Are you allowed to bring SACs home ?? :O

Depends what school you are, we had one spesh SAC we could bring home.
-
yeah there are take home sacs XD
-
Really though SACS over the holidays? and ours were called assignments that you needed to be able to pass, but didn't contribute to your score

haha, nah, these are just from some other book where I try and answer im my leisure time..

Haha, that's good then :)
Start with 1) then
1. Express the total surface area S of a cube as a function of the volume V of the cube?
Just some hints:


Try rearranging one of the above into
and work from there

err....kk
How do you do numbers 3, 4 and 5 then?
-
3) average speed S = total distance travelled/time taken = d/(d/2*80 + d/2*x) = 160x/(x+80) [note that the 'd's cancel out].
4) draw the 2-d version of the diagram (that is, a square inscribed in a circle). mark in the centre of the circle. the radius is hence 'half' the diagonal of the square, so 2(r/2)^2 = 6^2, r^2 = 72, r = 6sqrt(2). also recognise that h = 2*r = 12 sqrt(2). should be able to complete the problem from here.
5) find the area of the shape by subtracting the x*x*x 'chunk' from the bigger 9*5x 'rectangle'.

f+g means f(x) + g(x). For q6, this means sin2x+2sinx then just sub in 3pi/2 for x for the answer
The domain of an addition (f+g) or product (f*g) function is the intersection of the domains of the two functions f and g. for q7 this means intersection of dom f and dom g, i.e dom (f+g) = [0,2]
For q 8, this is a reciprocal function that must be restricted so that it is one to one. Consider the function x2 + 2, it is a parabola with one axial intercept at (0,2). The receprocal of this function has an axial intercept at (0, 1/2) and one asymptote, y=0. The turning point of the function is (0, 1/2). Therefore, to get a one to one function, we must have either (-infiinity, 0] or [0, infinity). Therefore, answer is E.
