and

so the left endpoint is the global max, as the x-value is furthest from the minimum
=0)
, so the range is
Question 4Answer:

when

, so the maximal domain of the composite is

.
The range is

since the inner function spans all positive reals.
Question 6Answer:
CDilation by a factor of

parallel to the x-axis, followed by a translation of

units in the positive direction of the x-axis is a possible transformation, which was option C.
Question 7Answer:
DAt 2 am, t = 2
At 2 pm, t = 14
So the average temperature is
Question 8Answer:
AThe given facts about p and q don't actually tell you anything about the answer, since the intercepts of

do not affect the gradient.
But, we have

and

, which means it is a negative cubic with two distinct stationary points and

and

, and

. Doing a quick sketch of this will show that the gradient is negative for
\cup(n,\infty))
.
Question 9Answer:
D\cdot(\frac{1}{2})\cdot(\sqrt{b-x^{2}})^{-\frac{1}{2}}=-\frac{x}{\sqrt{b-x^{2}}})

Question 11Answer:
EInverse normal with p = 0.6, µ = 252 and σ = 12 (as

)
Question 12Answer:
APossible combos are WL and LW
She has just won, so
 = 0.7 \cdot (1 - 0.7) = 0.21)
And

Adding these gives 0.33

Question 15Answer:
BThe antiderivative of a quadratic is always a cubic so this eliminates A, C and E.
=0)
has two distinct solutions so the cubic graph will have two stationary points, which eliminates D.
Question 16Answer:
DIf c = 3 the stationary point at (a,-3), which is 'higher up' than the other stationary point, will 'touch' the x-axis, giving another solution, but if c < 3 there will still be a single solution as this highest stationary point will still lie below the x-axis.
If c = 8, the stationary point at (b,-8), which is 'lower down', will touch the x-axis, so any c > 8 will shift this lowest stationary point above the x-axis. Hence, c < 3 or c > 8 for there to be a single solution.
Question 17Answer:
BThe determinant of the coefficient matrix is

, which is 0 when m = 1 or m = -3.
However if m = 1 we have

These two lines are clearly the same, so there are infinitely many solutions. Checking the other option:

Which are two parallel but distinct lines, so they have no intersection. Hence the system will have no solutions for m = -3.
Question 18Answer:
A
At x = a,

, so the equation of the tangent is

Using the point

,
=\frac{1}{a}a+c\Rightarrow c=\ln(a)-1=\ln(\frac{a}{e}))
So the tangent has equation

Now,

and


At h = 5,

, so the rate of decrease is

.
Question 22Answer:
B(a,b) is in the second quadrant and (c,d) is in the fourth quadrant.
The function has been shifted 2 units in the positive x direction, the absolute value has been taken and then the whole graph has been reflected in the x-axis, in that order.
Both stationary points are translated: (a+2,b) and (c+2,d), retaining their min/max nature
(a+2,b) is already above the x-axis so the modulus has no effect. However, (c+2,d) is part of the section below the x-axis, which is now reflected in the x-axis and so the point is moved above the x-axis to (c+2,-d) and becomes a maximum, so now both points are maxima.
Now the whole graph is reflected in the x-axis, so we have (a+2,b) becoming (a+2,-b) and (c+2,-d) becoming (c+2,d). Both were maxima, so they are now minima.

The gradient of the tangent is
