Write down the three inequalities that define the shaded region in the diagram. [3]
2. 𝑓 and 𝑔 are two functions such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 2 − 4𝑥 where 𝑥 < 1, 𝑔(𝑥) = 7 − 𝑥 2 where 𝑥 ≤ 0.
(c) Find the value of 𝑥, to 3 significant figures, for which 3𝑓(𝑥) = 4𝑔(𝑥). [3]
3. A particle 𝑃 is moving along a straight line. At time 𝑡 seconds, the displacement, 𝑥 metres, of 𝑃 from a
fixed point 𝑂 on the line is given by 𝑥 = −6𝑡 2 + 57𝑡 + 27, 𝑡 ≥ 0. At time 𝑡 seconds, the velocity of 𝑃 is 𝑣 m/s.
(b) If particle 𝑃 comes to instantaneous rest at the point 𝐴, find the value of 𝑡 when 𝑃 is at 𝐴. [2]
(a) Use the diagram to write down two equations in 𝑎 and 𝑏. [2]
5. A particle is moving along a straight line. At time 𝑡 seconds, the displacement, 𝑥 metres, of the particle
from a fixed point 𝑂 on the line is given by 𝑥 = 𝑡 3 − 6𝑡 2 + 15𝑡, 𝑡 ≥ 0. At time 𝑡 seconds, the acceleration of

At 9: 30 am a second motorist starts from Nevers to journey to Beaune on the same road as the first motorist.
(c) Draw, on the same graph, a straight line to represent the second motorist’s journey. [2]
(ii) how far both motorists are from Autun when they meet. [2]
8. A rocket is launched from a point which is 5 m above horizontal ground. The rocket moves vertically upwards
so that at time 𝑡 seconds, the height, ℎ metres, of the rocket above the ground is given by ℎ = 5 + 3𝑡 + 9𝑡 2 − 𝑡 3 .
At time t seconds, the velocity of the rocket is 𝑣 m/s and the acceleration of the rocket is 𝑎 m/s2.

(d) Show that the height, in metres to 1 decimal place, of 𝐴 above the ground is 131.2 m. [4]
The rocket now falls vertically downwards and hits the ground.
(e) Find the total distance, to the nearest metre, travelled by the rocket at the instant it hits the ground. [2]
