Consider a stone thrown directly upwards into the air with a velocity of 54 metres per second.

After t seconds its height in metres, y, is given by y = 54t−5t2.

(a) Construct a table showing the height y of the stone at one-second intervals from t = 1 to t =

10.

(b) Given that the gradient dy/dt = 0 at a maximum point, differentiate y = 54t−5t2 and calculate

the time tmax and height ymax of the stone when it reaches its maximum height.

ymax=54 tmax−5 tma x

By putting the values of tmax

ymax=54 ( 5.4 )−5 ( 5.4 )

ymax=145.8

ymax=211.25

Question no 6

The first 3 terms of an Arithmetic Progression (AP) are

4
a, a + d, a + 2d

where a denotes the first term (n = 1) and d is the common difference. Write down an

expression for the nth term Un in the sequence and use this to determine an expression

for Un for each of the following sequences:

A) -8,-11,-14

U =a+ ( n−1 ) d

A = -8

D = -11-(-8) = -3

U =−8+ ( n−1 )−3

B) -4,-12,20

U =a+ ( n−1 ) d

A = -4

D = -12-(-4) = -8

U =−4 + ( n−1 )−8

C) 8,1,-6

U =a+ ( n−1 ) d

A=8

D = 1-8 = -7

U =8+ ( n−1 )−7

Question no 7

The sum to n terms of a Geometric Progression (GP) is

where a is the first term and r is the ratio between successive terms. Consider the GP 8,4,2,...

(a) Give the sum of the first 11 terms.

(b) Give the condition for the sum of a GP to converge.

(c) Give the formula for S∞, the sum to infinity of a convergent series.

(d) Calculate S∞ for the series given.

a) A= 8

b) Series is divergent |r|>1

c) S∞ = a/1-r

d) S∞ = 8/1-2 = -8
