The gradient of the line between the two points is −1−0 = 1 and hence the

For a straight line, the equation is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.


Hence 𝑦 = −𝑥 + 𝑏.

Substituting (− 2 , 2) gives 2 = − (− 2) + 𝑏 and so 𝑏 = 0.

2−0 2
The gradient of the line between the two points is −2−0 = −2 = −1 and hence the

gradient of the perpendicular line is 𝑚 = − −1 = 1.

For a straight line, the equation is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.


Hence 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝑏.
Substituting in (−1, 1) gives 1 = −1 + 𝑏 and hence 𝑏 = 2.
Thus the equation of the perpendicular bisector is 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 2.

For a straight line, the equation is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.


Hence 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 𝑏.

Thus the equation of the perpendicular bisector is 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 4.

which in Cartesian form is (2, 4).
8−0
The gradient of the line between the two points is 0−4 = −2 and hence the
1 1
gradient of the perpendicular line is 𝑚 = − −2 = 2.

For a straight line, the equation is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.

Hence 𝑦 = 2 𝑥 + 𝑏.

Substituting (2, 4) gives 4 = 2 × 2 + 𝑏 and so 𝑏 = 3.

Thus the equation of the boundary is 𝑦 = 2 𝑥 + 3.

At (0, 0), |−8𝑖| = 8 and |−4| = 4 so |−8𝑖| > |−4|.


Therefore the region |𝑧 − 8𝑖| ≥ |𝑧 − 4| includes (0, 0) so shade to the right of the

−1−(−1)
The gradient of the line between the two points is = 0 and hence the

perpendicular line is vertical, passing through (3, −1).
Thus the equation of the boundary is 𝑥 = 3.

At (0, 0), |−2 + 𝑖| = √5 and |−4 + 𝑖| = √17 so |−2 + 𝑖| < |−4 + 𝑖|.
Therefore the region |𝑧 − 2 + 𝑖| ≤ |𝑧 − 4 + 𝑖| includes (0, 0) so shade to the left

For a straight line, the equation is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.


Hence 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 𝑏.
Substituting (1, 0) gives 0 = 2 × 1 + 𝑏 and so 𝑏 = −2.
Thus the equation of the boundary is 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 2.

At (0, 0), |1 − 𝑖| = √2 and |−3 + 𝑖| = √10 so |1 − 𝑖| < |−3 + 𝑖|.

Solutions to Exercise 1G Foundation questions


1a 𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 6𝑥 + 4
The factors of 4 are ±1, ±2, ±4.
Substituting each value for 𝑥 into the equation to find when 𝑃(𝑥) = 0 gives
𝑃(2) = 0 and hence 𝑥 − 2 is a factor of 𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 6𝑥 + 4.
Dividing 𝑥 3 − 6𝑥 + 4 by (𝑥 − 2) gives 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 2.
Thus
𝑃(𝑥) = (𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 2)
= (𝑥 − 2)((𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 1) − 3)
= (𝑥 − 2)((𝑥 + 1)2 − 3) (completing the square)

= (𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 + 1 − √3)(𝑥 + 1 + √3) (difference of two squares)

1b 𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 2
The factors of 2 are ±1, ±2.
Substituting each value for 𝑥 into the equation to find when 𝑃(𝑥) = 0 gives
𝑃(1) = 0 and hence 𝑥 − 1 is a factor of 𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 2.
Dividing 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 2 by (𝑥 − 1) gives 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 2.
Thus
𝑃(𝑥) = (𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 2)
= (𝑥 − 1)((𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4) − 2)
= (𝑥 − 1)((𝑥 + 2)2 − 2)

= (𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 + 2 − √2)(𝑥 + 2 + √2)

1c 𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 4
The factors of 4 are ±1, ±2, ±4.
Substituting each value for 𝑥 into the equation to find when 𝑃(𝑥) = 0 gives
𝑃(1) = 0 and hence 𝑥 − 1 is a factor of 𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 4.
Dividing 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 4 by (𝑥 − 1) gives 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 4.

𝑃(𝑥) = (𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 4)
= (𝑥 − 1)((𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 1) − 5)

= (𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 − 1 − √5)(𝑥 − 1 + √5)

2a Since the coefficients of the polynomial are real, all complex roots must also have
their conjugate as a root. Complex zeroes occur in conjugate pairs.

2b 1 + 𝑖 and 1 − 𝑖 are zeroes of 𝑃(𝑥).


Let the third zero of the polynomial be 𝑎, then by the sum of the roots:
−8
𝑎+1+𝑖+1−𝑖 = −
1
𝑎+2=8
𝑎=6
Hence the other root is 6.

3a Since the coefficients of the equation are real, the complex conjugate of 1 − 2𝑖
which is 1 + 2𝑖 must also be a root.

3b Since 1 + 2𝑖 and 1 − 2𝑖 are both roots, it follows that (𝑥 − (1 + 2𝑖)) and


(𝑥 − (1 − 2𝑖)) must be factors of 𝑃(𝑥).

(𝑥 − (1 + 2𝑖))(𝑥 − (1 − 2𝑖))

= 𝑥 2 − (1 + 2𝑖 + 1 − 2𝑖)𝑥 + (1 + 2𝑖)(1 − 2𝑖)


= 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 1 − 4𝑖 2
= 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 5
Hence 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 5 must also be a factor of 𝑃(𝑥).

3c Let the third root be 𝑎. Using the sum of the roots:


0
𝑎 + 1 + 2𝑖 + 1 − 2𝑖 = −
1
𝑎+2=0
𝑎 = −2
So (𝑥 + 2) is a factor of 𝑃(𝑥).
Thus
𝑃(𝑥) = (𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 5)

4a Since the coefficients of the equation are real, the complex conjugate of −3𝑖
which is 3𝑖 must also be a root.

4b Since 3𝑖 and −3𝑖 are both roots, it follows that (𝑧 − 3𝑖) and (𝑧 + 3𝑖) must be
factors of 𝑃(𝑧).
(𝑧 − 3𝑖)(𝑧 + 3𝑖)
= 𝑧 2 − 9𝑖 2
= 𝑧2 + 9
Hence 𝑧 2 + 9 is a quadratic factor of 𝑃(𝑧).

4c Let the third root be 𝑎. Using the sum of the roots:


3
𝑎 + 3𝑖 + (−3𝑖) = −
2
3
𝑎=−
2
3
So (𝑧 + 2) is a factor of 𝑃(𝑧) or (2𝑧 + 3) is a factor of 𝑃(𝑧).

Hence 𝑃(𝑧) as a product of factors with real coefficients can be written as:
𝑃(𝑧) = (2𝑧 + 3)(𝑧 2 + 9)

= 2(9 + 6𝑖 − 1)(3 + 𝑖) − 13(9 + 6𝑖 − 1) + 78 + 26𝑖 − 10

= 2(24 + 26𝑖 − 6) − 13(8 + 6𝑖) + 78 + 26𝑖 − 10
= 2(18 + 26𝑖) − 13(8 + 6𝑖) + 78 + 26𝑖 − 10
= 36 + 52𝑖 − 104 − 78𝑖 + 78 + 26𝑖 − 10
= 0 + 0𝑖
=0

5b Since 3 + 𝑖 is a root of 𝑃(𝑧), and since 𝑃(𝑧) has real coefficients, the complex
conjugate of 3 + 𝑖 which is 3 − 𝑖 must also be a root of 𝑃(𝑧).
Hence 𝑃(3 − 𝑖) = 0.

−13
𝑎+3+𝑖+3−𝑖 = −

𝑎+6=

𝑎=

1
So (𝑧 − 2) is a factor of 𝑃(𝑧) or (2𝑧 − 1) is a factor of 𝑃(𝑧).

Hence 𝑃(𝑧) as a product of linear factors can be written as:

𝑃(𝑧) = (2𝑧 − 1)(𝑧 − (3 + 𝑖))(𝑧 − (3 − 𝑖))

= (2𝑧 − 1)(𝑧 − 3 − 𝑖)(𝑧 − 3 + 𝑖)

= (2𝑧 − 1)(𝑧 2 − 6𝑧 + 10)
So 𝑃(𝑧) as a product of a linear factor and a quadratic factor, with real
coefficients, can be written as:
𝑃(𝑧) = (2𝑧 − 1)(𝑧 2 − 6𝑧 + 10)

Therefore:

𝑎3 = −|𝑎|3
𝑏<0
𝑏 = −|𝑏|
𝑏 3 = −|𝑏|3
Since |𝑏| > |𝑎|
−|𝑏|3 < −|𝑎|3
Therefore 𝑎3 > 𝑏 3 .
Case 3: If 𝑎 > 𝑏 and 𝑎 > 0 but 𝑏 < 0

Therefore 𝑎3 > 𝑏 3
So in all possible cases, 𝑎3 > 𝑏 3 .

Case 1: 𝑎 and 𝑏 both non-negative.
Then:

||𝑎| − |𝑏|| = |𝑎 − 𝑏|

So RHS equals LHS.


Case 2: 𝑎 and 𝑏 both negative.
Then:

Chapter 2 worked solutions – Proof

|𝑎| − |𝑏| = −𝑎 + 𝑏

||𝑎| − |𝑏|| = |−𝑎 + 𝑏|

= |𝑎 − 𝑏|
So RHS equals LHS.
Case 3: 𝑎 negative, 𝑏 non-negative.
Then:
|𝑎 − 𝑏| = |−|𝑎| − |𝑏||

= |𝑎| + |𝑏|

= ||𝑎| + |𝑏||

||𝑎| − |𝑏|| ≤ ||𝑎| + |𝑏||

So LHS ≥ RHS.
Case 4: 𝑎 non-negative, 𝑏 negative.
Then:
|𝑎 − 𝑏| = ||𝑎| + |𝑏||

||𝑎| − |𝑏|| ≤ ||𝑎| + |𝑏||

So LHS ≥ RHS.
So the result is true for all possible cases.

12a For every integer, there exists an integer which is larger.

12b Any positive number added to its reciprocal gives at least two.

13a True, because the premise is false, or alternately because the conclusion is true.
(Either is enough to prove the implication true.)

13b False, because the premise is true but the conclusion is not.

13c True, because the premise is false.

13d True, because the premise is true and the conclusion is true.

14a If a number is less than zero, then by definition it is a negative number, and vice
versa.

14b If 1 < 0 then 1 is a negative number. This statement is true, because “1 < 0” is
false.

15a Yes. “If I do not do my homework, then I will fail” is equivalent to “If I do not fail,
then I have done my homework”.

15b Cannot be determined. While studying hard implies passing, passing doesn’t

1a Since both are even, let 𝑎 = 2𝑚 and 𝑏 = 2𝑛.
Then 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 2𝑚 + 2𝑛
= 2(𝑚 + 𝑛)
Therefore 𝑎 + 𝑏 is even.

1b Since both are odd, let 𝑎 = 2𝑚 + 1 and 𝑏 = 2𝑛 + 1.


Then 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 2𝑚 + 1 + 2𝑛 + 1
= 2(𝑚 + 𝑛 + 1)
Therefore 𝑎 + 𝑏 is even.

1c Since 𝑎 is even and 𝑏 is odd, let 𝑎 = 2𝑚 and 𝑏 = 2𝑛 + 1.


Then 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 2𝑚 + 2𝑛 + 1
= 2(𝑚 + 𝑛) + 1
Therefore 𝑎 + 𝑏 is odd.

2a Since both are even, let 𝑎 = 2𝑚 and 𝑏 = 2𝑛.


Then 𝑎𝑏 = 2𝑚 × 2𝑛
= 2(2𝑚𝑛)
Therefore 𝑎𝑏 is even.

2b Since both are odd, let 𝑎 = 2𝑚 + 1 and 𝑏 = 2𝑛 + 1.


Then 𝑎𝑏 = 4𝑚𝑛 + 2𝑚 + 2𝑛 + 1

Therefore 𝑎𝑏 is odd.

2c Since 𝑎 is even and 𝑏 is odd, let 𝑎 = 2𝑚 and 𝑏 = 2𝑛 + 1.


Then 𝑎𝑏 = 2𝑚(2𝑛 + 1)
= 2(2𝑚𝑛 + 𝑚)
Therefore 𝑎𝑏 is even.

3a If 𝑎 is even, let 𝑎 = 2𝑚
Therefore 𝑎2 = 4𝑚2
= 2(2𝑚2 )
Therefore 𝑎2 is even.

3b If 𝑎 is odd, let 𝑎 = 2𝑚 + 1
Therefore 𝑎2 = 4𝑚2 + 4𝑚 + 1
= 2(2𝑚2 + 2𝑚) + 1
Therefore 𝑎2 is odd.

4a If 𝑏 and 𝑏 + 𝑐 are both divisible by 𝑎 then let 𝑏 = 𝑘𝑎 and 𝑏 + 𝑐 = 𝑙𝑎.


(𝑏 + 𝑐) − 𝑏 = 𝑙𝑎 − 𝑘𝑎
𝑐 = (𝑙 − 𝑘)𝑎
Therefore 𝑐 is divisible by 𝑎.

4a If 𝑏 and 𝑏 − 𝑐 are both divisible by 𝑎 then let 𝑏 = 𝑘𝑎 and 𝑏 − 𝑐 = 𝑙𝑎.


𝑏 − (𝑏 − 𝑐) = 𝑘𝑎 − 𝑙𝑎
𝑐 = (𝑘 − 𝑙)𝑎
Therefore 𝑐 is divisible by 𝑎.

5 If 𝑏 and 𝑐 are both divisible by 𝑎 then let 𝑏 = 𝑘𝑎 and 𝑐 = 𝑙𝑎.


𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐𝑦 = 𝑘𝑎𝑥 + 𝑙𝑎𝑦

6 Note that 𝑏 = 𝑎 + 1, 𝑐 = 𝑎 + 2, 𝑑 = 𝑎 + 3.
6a Substituting these identities:
𝑎+𝑑 =𝑎+𝑎+3
= 2𝑎 + 3
𝑏+𝑐 =𝑎+1+𝑎+2
= 2𝑎 + 3
Therefore 𝑎 + 𝑑 = 𝑏 + 𝑐.

6b Substituting again:
𝑎𝑑 = 𝑎(𝑎 + 3)
= 𝑎2 + 3𝑎
𝑏𝑐 − 2 = (𝑎 + 1)(𝑎 + 2) − 2
= 𝑎2 + 3𝑎 + 2 − 2
= 𝑎2 + 3𝑎
Therefore 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐 − 2.

6c Substituting again:
𝑎2 + 𝑑2 = 𝑎2 + (𝑎 + 3)2
= 𝑎2 + 𝑎2 + 6𝑎 + 9
= 2𝑎2 + 6𝑎 + 9
𝑏 2 + 𝑐 2 + 4 = (𝑎 + 1)2 + (𝑎 + 2)2 + 4
= 𝑎2 + 2𝑎 + 1 + 𝑎2 + 4𝑎 + 4 + 4
= 2𝑎2 + 6𝑎 + 9
Therefore 𝑎2 + 𝑑 2 = 𝑏 2 + 𝑐 2 + 4.

7 Since 𝑎 − 𝑏 is even, it can be expressed as 2𝑚 for some integer 𝑚.
𝑎2 − 𝑏2
= (𝑎 − 𝑏)(𝑎 + 𝑏)

= (𝑎 − 𝑏)((𝑎 − 𝑏) + 2𝑏)

= 2𝑚(2𝑚 + 2𝑏)
= 4𝑚(𝑚 + 𝑏)
which must be a multiple of 4.

8 Let:
2𝑎 + 𝑏 = 𝑐𝑛 (1)
3𝑎 + 2𝑏 = 𝑑𝑛 (2)
for integers 𝑐, 𝑑.
4𝑎 + 2𝑏 = 2𝑐𝑛 (3) (multiplying (1) by 2)
Subtracting (2) from (3):
𝑎 = 𝑐𝑛 − 𝑑𝑛
𝑎 = (𝑐 − 𝑑)𝑛 (4)
2𝑎 = 2(𝑐 − 𝑑)𝑛 (5)
Subtracting (5) from (1):
2𝑎 + 𝑏 − 2𝑎 = 𝑐𝑛 − 2(𝑐 − 𝑑)𝑛
𝑏 = (2𝑑 − 𝑐)𝑛
Hence 𝑎 and 𝑏 are both multiples of 𝑛.

9 Let:
𝑎2 + 𝑎 = 4𝑐 (1)
𝑎2 − 𝑎 = 4𝑑 (2)
Subtracting (2) from (1):
2𝑎 = 4𝑐 − 4𝑑

Chapter 2 worked solutions – Proof

𝑎 = 2(𝑐 − 𝑑)
Therefore 𝑎 is even.

10 𝑎3 − 𝑎
= 𝑎(𝑎2 − 1)
= (𝑎 − 1)𝑎(𝑎 + 1)
Since (𝑎 − 1) and 𝑎 are consecutive, one of them must be a multiple of 2.
Since (𝑎 − 1), 𝑎, and (𝑎 + 1) are consecutive integers, one of them must be a
multiple of 3.
Therefore 𝑎3 − 𝑎 is a multiple of 2 and of 3, making it a multiple of 6.

11 If 𝑎 is even, then there is an integer 𝑛 such that 𝑎 = 2𝑛.


𝑎3 + 2𝑎2
= (2𝑛)3 + 2(2𝑛)2
= 8𝑛3 + 8𝑛2
= 8(𝑛3 + 𝑛2 )
So 𝑎3 + 2𝑎2 must be a multiple of 8.

12 Part 1:
Suppose a number 𝑎 is divisible by 6.
This means there is an integer 𝑏 such that 𝑎 = 6𝑏.
We can rewrite this as 𝑎 = 2(3𝑏) showing that 𝑎 is divisible by 2.
We can also rewrite this as 𝑎 = 3(2𝑏) showing that 𝑎 is divisible by 3.
Therefore if 𝑎 is divisible by 6, it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
Part 2:
Now suppose a number 𝑎 is divisible by both 2 and 3.
This means there is an integer 𝑚 such that 𝑎 = 2𝑚, and also that 2𝑚 is divisible
by 3.
Since 3 is a prime number, either 3 divides 2 or 3 divides 𝑚.

© Cambridge University Press 2019 2


Chapter 2 worked solutions – Proof

Since 3 doesn’t divide 2, it must divide 𝑚.


Therefore there is an integer 𝑛 such that 𝑚 = 3𝑛.
Therefore 𝑎 = 2(3𝑛)
𝑎 = 6𝑛
Therefore 𝑎 is divisible by 6.
We have now proved that if a number is divisible by 6, it is divisible by 2 and 3,
and we have also proved that if a number is divisible by 2 and 3, it is divisible by
6.
Therefore a number is divisible by 6 if and only if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

13 Part 1:
Suppose an integer 𝑎 is the sum of 7 consecutive numbers. That is:
𝑎 = 𝑛 + (𝑛 + 1) + (𝑛 + 2) + ⋯ + (𝑛 + 6)
for some integer 𝑛.
Therefore,
𝑎 = 7𝑛 + 1 + 2 + ⋯ + 6
= 7𝑛 + 21
= 7(𝑛 + 3)
Therefore 𝑎 is divisible by 7.
Part 2:
Suppose an integer 𝑎 is divisible by 7. That is:
𝑎 = 7𝑚 for some integer 𝑚.
Therefore,
𝑎 = 7𝑚 + (−3) + (−2) + (−1) + 0 + (1) + (2) + (3)
= (𝑚 − 3) + (𝑚 − 2) + (𝑚 − 1) + 𝑚 + (𝑚 + 1) + (𝑚 + 2) + (𝑚 + 3)
𝑎
So 𝑎 is the sum of 7 consecutive numbers, beginning at 7 − 3.

We have now proved that if an integer is the sum of 7 consecutive integers, then
it is a multiple of 7, and we have also proved that it is a multiple of 7 then it is the
sum of 7 consecutive integers.

© Cambridge University Press 2019 3


Chapter 2 worked solutions – Proof

Therefore an integer is the sum of 7 consecutive integers if and only if it is


divisible by 7.

14a If 𝑛 is odd, there exists an integer 𝑚 such that 𝑛 = 2𝑚 + 1.


Consider the sum of 𝑛 consecutive numbers: 𝑎 + (𝑎 + 1) + (𝑎 + 2) + ⋯ +
(𝑎 + 𝑛 − 1) where 𝑎 is the first number in the sequence.
This sum is equal to
𝑎𝑛 + 1 + 2 + ⋯ + (𝑛 − 1)
(𝑛 − 1)𝑛
= 𝑎𝑛 +
2
(𝑛 − 1)
= 𝑛 (𝑎 + )
2
(2𝑚 + 1 − 1)
= 𝑛 (𝑎 + )
2

= 𝑛(𝑎 + 𝑚)
Therefore when 𝑛 is odd, the sum is divisible by 𝑛.

14b By the same proof as above, the sum of 𝑛 consecutive integers is equal to
(𝑛 − 1)
𝑛 (𝑎 + )
2
𝑛 1
= 𝑛 (𝑎 + − )
2 2
𝑛 𝑛 1
In this case, since 𝑛 is even, 2 is an integer, so (𝑎 + 2 − 2) cannot be an integer.
𝑛
There is a remainder of 2.

Therefore the sum cannot be divisible by 𝑛 when 𝑛 is even.

15 Let the digits of a 4-digit number 𝑛 be 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑.


That is,
𝑛 = 1000𝑎 + 100𝑏 + 10𝑐 + 𝑑
= (999𝑎 + 99𝑏 + 9𝑐) + (𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 + 𝑑)
= 3(333𝑎 + 33𝑏 + 3𝑐) + (𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 + 𝑑)

Chapter 2 worked solutions – Proof

Part 1:
If 𝑛 is divisible by 3, then 𝑛 = 3𝑚 for some integer 𝑚.
Therefore:
3𝑚 = 3(333𝑎 + 33𝑏 + 3𝑐) + (𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 + 𝑑)
(𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 + 𝑑) = 3(𝑚 − 333𝑎 − 33𝑏 − 3𝑐)
Therefore the sum of the digits (𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 + 𝑑) is a multiple of 3.
Part 2:
If the sum of the digits is a multiple of 3, then (𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 + 𝑑) = 3𝑘 for some
integer 𝑘.
Therefore:
𝑛 = 3(333𝑎 + 33𝑏 + 3𝑐) + 3𝑘
= 3(333𝑎 + 33𝑏 + 3𝑐 + 𝑘)
Therefore 𝑛 is divisible by 3.
We have now proved the result in both directions, so a 4-digit number is divisible
by 3 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

16a If 𝑛 is divisible by 13, then 10𝑥 + 𝑦 = 13𝑚 for some integer 𝑚.


Multiplying this by 4 gives:
40𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 13(4𝑚)
39𝑥 + 𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 13(4𝑚)
13(3𝑥) + 𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 13(4𝑚)
𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 13(4𝑚 − 3𝑥)
Therefore 𝑥 + 4𝑦 is divisible by 13.

16b If 𝑥 + 4𝑦 is divisible by 13, then 𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 13𝑘 for some integer 𝑘.


Multiplying by 10:
10𝑥 + 40𝑦 = 13(10𝑘)
10𝑥 + 𝑦 + 39𝑦 = 13(10𝑘)
10𝑥 + 𝑦 + 13(3𝑦) = 13(10𝑘)

© Cambridge University Press 2019 5


Chapter 2 worked solutions – Proof

10𝑥 + 𝑦 = 13(10𝑘 − 3𝑦)


Therefore 10𝑥 + 𝑦 is divisible by 13.

16c ∀𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ ℤ+ : [∃𝑚 ∈ ℤ: 10𝑥 + 𝑦 = 13𝑚] ⇔ [∃𝑘 ∈ ℤ: 𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 13𝑘]

16d From part a, if 10𝑥 + 𝑦 is divisible by 13, then so is 𝑥 + 4𝑦.


So, if 8112 = 10 × 811 + 2 is divisible by 13,
then so is 811 + 4 × 2 = 819.
If 819 = 10 × 81 + 9 is divisible by 13,
then so is 81 + 4 × 9 = 117.
If 117 = 10 × 11 + 7 is divisible by 13,
then so is 11 + 4 × 7 = 39, which 𝑖𝑠 divisible by 13.
We can reverse the above argument because we proved in part b
that the converse of part a is true.
So, because 39 is divisible by 13, so is 8112.

17a (𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 𝑛−1 + 𝑥 𝑛−2 + 𝑥 𝑛−3 + ⋯ + 𝑥 + 1)


= 𝑥 𝑛−1 (𝑥 − 1) + 𝑥 𝑛−2 (𝑥 − 1) + 𝑥 𝑛−3 (𝑥 − 1) + ⋯ + 𝑥(𝑥 − 1) + 1(𝑥 − 1)
= 𝑥 𝑛 − 𝑥 𝑛−1 + 𝑥 𝑛−1 − 𝑥 𝑛−2 + 𝑥 𝑛−2 − ⋯ − 𝑥 2 + 𝑥 2 − 𝑥 + 𝑥 − 1
= 𝑥𝑛 + 0 + 0 + ⋯ + 0 + 0 − 1
= 𝑥𝑛 − 1

17b i From part a:


7𝑛 − 1
= (7 − 1)(7𝑛−1 + 7𝑛−2 + 7𝑛−3 + ⋯ + 7 + 1)
= 6(7𝑛−1 + 7𝑛−2 + 7𝑛−3 + ⋯ + 7 + 1)
Therefore 7𝑛 − 1 is a multiple of 6.

17b ii Note: we must also assume that 𝑎 is positive here. Otherwise a counterexample is
𝑎 = −2, 𝑛 = 2.
From part a:
𝑎𝑛 − 1 = (𝑎 − 1)(𝑎𝑛−1 + 𝑎𝑛−2 + 𝑎𝑛−3 + ⋯ + 𝑎 + 1)

© Cambridge University Press 2019 6


Chapter 2 worked solutions – Proof

(𝑎𝑛−1 + 𝑎𝑛−2 + 𝑎𝑛−3 + ⋯ + 𝑎 + 1) ≥ 𝑎 + 1 ≥ 2


If 𝑎𝑛 − 1 is prime, then its divisors can only be itself and 1.
Since (𝑎𝑛−1 + 𝑎𝑛−2 + 𝑎𝑛−3 + ⋯ + 𝑎 + 1) ≠ 1, its other divisor (𝑎 − 1) must
equal 1.
Therefore 𝑎 = 2.

18a Any factor of 𝑛 must be of the form 𝑝𝑖 𝑞 𝑗 where 0 ≤ 𝑖 ≤ 𝑎 and 0 ≤ 𝑗 ≤ 𝑏.


This gives 𝑎 + 1 possible values for 𝑖 and 𝑏 + 1 possible values for 𝑗.
Multiplying these together, there are (𝑎 + 1)(𝑏 + 1) possible choices to make a
factor of 𝑛.

18b 80 000 = 27 × 54
Therefore there are (7 + 1)(4 + 1) = 40 different factors of 80 000.

19 If 𝑎 − 𝑐 is a divisor of 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑐𝑑, there is an integer 𝑛 such that 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑐𝑑 = 𝑛(𝑎 − 𝑐)


(𝑎 − 𝑐)(𝑏 − 𝑑)
= 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑐𝑑 − 𝑎𝑑 − 𝑏𝑐
= (𝑎 − 𝑐)𝑛 − (𝑎𝑑 + 𝑏𝑐)
𝑎𝑑 + 𝑏𝑐
= (𝑎 − 𝑐)𝑛 + (𝑎 − 𝑐)(𝑑 − 𝑏)
= (𝑎 − 𝑐)(𝑛 + 𝑑 − 𝑏)
Therefore 𝑎 − 𝑐 is a divisor of 𝑎𝑑 + 𝑏𝑐.

𝑚
Therefore 7 𝑛 = 13
7𝑚 = 13𝑛
Since 𝑛 ≥ 1 it follows that 13 is a factor of the RHS. But clearly 13 is not a factor

Hence log 7 13 is irrational.

Therefore 5 = 𝑛2

5𝑛2 = 𝑚2
Therefore 𝑚2 is a multiple of 5, and since 5 is prime, 𝑚 must be a multiple of 5.
Let 𝑚 = 5𝑘
Therefore 5𝑛2 = 𝑚2 = 25𝑘 2
𝑛2 = 5𝑘 2
Therefore 𝑛2 is also a multiple of 5, and since 5 is prime, 𝑛 must be a multiple of

But this contradicts the assumption that 𝑚, 𝑛 have no common factors.

Hence √5 is irrational.

3a “If 𝑎 is even then 𝑎2 is even”.

4 Suppose 𝑚 is even. Let 𝑚 = 2𝑘.


Therefore 𝑚2 + 4𝑚 + 7 = 4𝑘 2 + 8𝑘 + 7

which must be odd.
Therefore, if 𝑚 is even, 𝑚2 + 4𝑚 + 7 is odd.
Since we have proved the contrapositive, if 𝑚2 + 4𝑚 + 7 is even, then 𝑚 is odd.

5 Suppose that 𝑎 and 𝑏 are both odd. Let 𝑎 = 2𝑚 + 1, 𝑏 = 2𝑛 + 1.


Therefore 𝑎𝑏 = (2𝑚 + 1)(2𝑛 + 1)

= 2(2𝑚𝑛 + 𝑚 + 𝑛) + 1
which must be odd.
Hence, since we have proved the contrapositive, if 𝑎𝑏 is even then 𝑎 and 𝑏 cannot

6b log 3 15

Therefore 𝑛 is divisible by 11.
That is, 11 is a common factor of 𝑚 and 𝑛. But the HCF is 1, so there is a

Hence √11 is irrational.

7b √44 = √4 × 11

Since √11 is irrational, 2√11 is also irrational.

8 Proof by contradiction:

Suppose 𝑝1 and 𝑝2 are both greater than or equal to √𝑛.

Since they cannot be equal to one another, at least one must be greater than √𝑛.

Therefore 𝑝1 𝑝2 > √𝑛 × √𝑛

Therefore 𝑛 > √𝑛 × √𝑛

But √𝑛 × √𝑛 = 𝑛 so this leads to a contradiction.

Therefore at least one of 𝑝1 and 𝑝2 is less than √𝑛.

9a Proof by contradiction:
If 𝑛 is odd, 𝑛2 must be odd.
Therefore 𝑛2 + 2 must also be odd, and cannot be divisible by 4.
This leads to a contradiction.

9b Since 𝑛 is even, we know 𝑛 = 2𝑚 for some integer 𝑚.


Therefore 𝑛2 + 2 = (2𝑚)2 + 2

But this must have remainder 2 when divided by 4, leading to a contradiction.
Hence 𝑛 cannot be either even or odd, leading to a contradiction.
Therefore no such number exists.

10a Every odd number 𝑎 can be written in the form 2𝑛 + 1.


If 𝑛 is odd, then 𝑛 = 2𝑚 + 1 for some 𝑚.
Therefore:
𝑎 = 2(2𝑚 + 1) + 1
= 4𝑚 + 3
= 4𝑚 + 4 − 1
= 4(𝑚 + 1) − 1
which is 1 less than a multiple of 4.
If 𝑛 is even, then 𝑛 = 2𝑚 for some 𝑚.
Therefore:
𝑎 = 2(2𝑚) + 1
= 4𝑚 + 1
which is 1 more than a multiple of 4.
Therefore, 𝑎 is either 1 more or 1 less than a multiple of 4.

10b Suppose the integers are 4𝑛 + 1 and 4𝑚 + 1.


Then their product is
(4𝑚 + 1)(4𝑛 + 1)

10c Proof by contradiction:


Suppose a composite number 𝑎 of the form 4𝑛 − 1 has no prime factors of the
form 4𝑛 − 1.
Since 4𝑛 − 1 is odd, all prime factors must be odd.
From part a, any odd number must be of the form 4𝑛 + 1 or 4𝑛 − 1.
Since 𝑎 has no prime factors of the form 4𝑛 − 1, all its prime factors must be of
the form 4𝑛 + 1.
However, from part b, every time we multiply two numbers of the form 4𝑛 + 1
we get another number of the form 4𝑛 + 1.
Therefore, multiplying out all the prime factors of 𝑎 results in a number of the
form 4𝑛 + 1.
Therefore 𝑎 is of the form 4𝑛 + 1.
A number cannot be both one greater and one less than a multiple of 4.
Therefore 𝑎 cannot also be of the form 4𝑛 − 1.
This creates a contradiction, proving that any composite number of the form
4𝑛 − 1 must have at least one prime factor of the form 4𝑛 − 1.

11 Proof by contradiction:

Suppose √4𝑛 − 2 is rational.

Since 𝑛 ≥ 1, √4𝑛 − 2 > 0

4𝑛 − 2 = 2
𝑏
𝑎2
LHS is an integer, therefore 𝑏2 is an integer.

Therefore 𝑏2 divides 𝑎2 .
But 𝑎 and 𝑏 have no common factors, so 𝑏 must equal 1.
Therefore:

√4𝑛 − 2 = 𝑎
4𝑛 − 2 = 𝑎2
If 𝑎 is odd, then 𝑎2 must be odd, but 4𝑛 − 2 is even so this is impossible.

3𝑛2 = 9𝑘2
𝑛2 = 3 𝑘2

Therefore 3 divides 𝑛2 and hence 𝑛.


But this contradicts the assumption that 𝑚 and 𝑛 have no common factors.

Assuming √3 + 1 is rational leads to a contradiction, therefore it is irrational.

Suppose √6 is rational.
𝑚
Therefore √6 can be written as for some 𝑚, 𝑛 ∈ ℤ+ with HCF 1
𝑛
𝑚
√6 =
𝑛
𝑚2
6=
𝑛2
6𝑛2 = 𝑚2
Therefore 2 and 3 both divide 𝑚2 .
Since each is prime, it follows that each divides 𝑚.
Therefore 6 divides 𝑚.
Therefore we can write 𝑚 = 6𝑘 for some 𝑘 ∈ ℤ+ .
Therefore:
6𝑛2 = (6𝑘)2
6𝑛2 = 36𝑘 2
𝑛2 = 6𝑘 2
Therefore 2 divides 𝑛2 and hence 2 divides 𝑛.
But this contradicts the assumption that 𝑚 and 𝑛 have no common factors.

Assuming √6 is rational leads to a contradiction, therefore it is irrational.

13b Proof by contradiction:

Suppose √3 + √2 is rational.
𝑚
Then √3 + √2 = for some 𝑚, 𝑛 ∈ ℤ+ with HCF 1
𝑛

Therefore:
2 𝑚 2
(√3 + √2) = ( )
𝑛
𝑚2
3 + 2√6 + 2 = 2

2√6 = −5

𝑚2 − 5𝑛2
√6 =
2𝑛2
which is rational, since all terms on the RHS are integers.

But we know from part a that √6 is irrational.

The assumption that √3 + √2 is rational leads to a contradiction.

Therefore √3 + √2 is irrational.

14 The contrapositive statement is: if 𝑛 is not prime, then 2𝑛 − 1 is not prime.


If 𝑛 is not prime, we can write 𝑛 = 𝑎𝑏 for some 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ ℤ+ , with both greater than
1.
Then
2𝑛 − 1
= 2𝑎𝑏 − 1
= (2𝑎 )𝑏 − 1𝑏
= (2𝑎 − 1)((2𝑎 )𝑏−1 + (2𝑎 )𝑏−2 + (2𝑎 )𝑏−3 + ⋯ + (2𝑎 )1 + (2𝑎 )0 )
(using difference of powers)
Since 𝑎 > 1, 𝑎 ≥ 2.
Therefore 2𝑎 − 1 is an integer greater than or equal to 22 − 1 = 3.
Since 𝑏 > 1, 𝑏 ≥ 2.
Therefore:
((2𝑎 )𝑏−1 + (2𝑎 )𝑏−2 + (2𝑎 )𝑏−3 + ⋯ + (2𝑎 )1 + (2𝑎 )0 )
≥ (2𝑎 )1 + (2𝑎 )0
= 2𝑎 + 1
≥ 22 + 1
And ((2𝑎 )𝑏−1 + (2𝑎 )𝑏−2 + (2𝑎 )𝑏−3 + ⋯ + (2𝑎 )1 + (2𝑎 )0 ) must be an integer
since each term of the sum is an integer.
Therefore 2𝑛 − 1 is the product of two integers, each greater than 1, so it cannot
be prime.
By proving the contrapositive, we have proved the original statement.

15 Proof by contradiction:
Suppose there are only finitely many prime numbers.
Therefore there must be a largest prime number, 𝑝.
Note that 𝑝! is divisible by every number up to and including 𝑝, including all the
prime numbers (since 𝑝 is the largest prime number).
𝑝!
Hence, for every prime number 𝑞, there exists an integer 𝑚 such that = 𝑚.
𝑞

𝑝! + 1 1
Therefore =𝑚+
𝑞 𝑞
This cannot be an integer.
Therefore 𝑝! + 1 is not divisible by any prime number between 1 and 𝑝.
If 𝑝! + 1 can be factorised, then each of its prime factors must be larger than 𝑝.
If it cannot be factorised, then it is itself a prime number, larger than 𝑝.
Either way, 𝑝 cannot be the largest prime number, so we have a contradiction.
Therefore there are infinitely many prime numbers.

1 Let 𝑎 = 1 + ℎ, ℎ > 0.
Therefore 𝑎2 − 1 = (1 + ℎ)2 − 1
= 2ℎ + ℎ2
Since 2ℎ and ℎ2 are both greater than 0, 𝑎2 − 1 > 0 and therefore 𝑎2 > 1.
Alternative proof:
𝑎2 − 1 = (𝑎 + 1)(𝑎 − 1)
Since 𝑎 > 1, 𝑎 + 1 > 0 and 𝑎 − 1 > 0
Therefore 𝑎2 − 1 is the product of two positive quantities and so must be
positive. From there, the result follows as above.

Then (𝑎2 − 𝑏) − (𝑏 2 − 𝑎)
= (𝑏 2 + 2𝑏ℎ + ℎ2 − 𝑏) − (𝑏 2 − 𝑏 − ℎ)

Since 𝑏 and ℎ are positive, and therefore 2𝑏ℎ and ℎ2 are also positive,
(𝑎2 − 𝑏) > (𝑏 2 − 𝑎)

5b 𝑎3 − 𝑏 3 − (𝑎2 𝑏 − 𝑎𝑏 2 )
= 𝑎3 − 𝑎2 𝑏 + 𝑎𝑏 2 − 𝑏 3

Since 𝑎 > 𝑏, 𝑎 − 𝑏 > 0
Since 𝑎 ≠ 𝑏, 𝑎 and 𝑏 cannot both equal zero.
Therefore at least one of 𝑎2 , 𝑏 2 is greater than zero and the other is greater than
or equal to zero.
Therefore 𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 > 0

Similarly 𝑥 + 𝑧 ≥ 2√𝑥𝑧 ≥ 0

and 𝑦 + 𝑧 ≥ 2√𝑦𝑧 ≥ 0.

Therefore

(𝑥 + 𝑦)(𝑥 + 𝑧)(𝑦 + 𝑧) ≥ (2√𝑥𝑦)(2√𝑥𝑧)(2√𝑦𝑧)

(𝑥 + 𝑦)(𝑥 + 𝑧)(𝑦 + 𝑧) ≥ 8√𝑥𝑦 × 𝑥𝑧 × 𝑦𝑧

(𝑥 + 𝑦)(𝑥 + 𝑧)(𝑦 + 𝑧) ≥ 8√𝑥 2 𝑦 2 𝑧 2

Therefore:
𝑎2 + 𝑏2 + 𝑐 2 − 𝑎𝑏 − 𝑏𝑐 − 𝑐𝑎 ≥ 0
𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 > 0 since all three are positive.
Therefore (𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐)(𝑎2 + 𝑏2 + 𝑐 2 − 𝑎𝑏 − 𝑏𝑐 − 𝑐𝑎) ≥ 0 as the product of two

18b Squaring the LHS:


|𝑧 + 𝑤|2

= (𝑧 + 𝑤)(𝑧 + 𝑤)
= 𝑧𝑧 + 𝑧𝑤 + 𝑧𝑤 + 𝑤𝑤
= |𝑧|2 + |𝑤|2 + 𝑧𝑤 + 𝑧𝑤
Let 𝑧 = 𝑟(cos 𝜃 + 𝑖 sin 𝜃) and let 𝑤 = 𝑠(cos 𝜙 + 𝑖 sin 𝜙)
with 𝑟, 𝑠 ≥ 0.
Then LHS 2
= |𝑧|2 + |𝑤|2 + 𝑟𝑠(cos 𝜃 + 𝑖 sin 𝜃)(cos 𝜙 − 𝑖 sin 𝜙)
+ 𝑟𝑠(cos 𝜃 − 𝑖 sin 𝜃)(cos 𝜙 + 𝑖 sin 𝜙)
= |𝑧|2 + |𝑤|2 + 2𝑟𝑠(cos 𝜃 cos 𝜙 + sin 𝜃 sin 𝜙)
= |𝑧|2 + |𝑤|2 + 2𝑟𝑠 cos(𝜃 − 𝜙)
= |𝑧|2 + |𝑤|2 + 2|𝑧||𝑤| cos(𝜃 − 𝜙)
Squaring the RHS:
(|𝑧| + |𝑤|)2 = |𝑧|2 + |𝑤|2 + 2|𝑧||𝑤|
Therefore RHS 2 − LHS 2 = 2|𝑧||𝑤|(1 − cos(𝜃 − 𝜙))
If 𝑧 = 0 or 𝑤 = 0 or cos(𝜃 − 𝜙) = 1:
RHS 2 − LHS 2 = 0
RHS 2 = LHS 2
RHS = LHS (since both are non-negative)
If none of these three conditions hold:
2|𝑧||𝑤|(1 − cos(𝜃 − 𝜙)) > 0
Therefore:
RHS 2 > LHS2
RHS > LHS (since both are non-negative)
Therefore |𝑧 + 𝑤| ≤ |𝑧| + |𝑤|.

18c In the working for part b, we saw that equality holds only when one of 𝑧 and 𝑤 is
zero, or when cos(𝜃 − 𝜙) = 1. That is, 𝑧 = 𝑘𝑤 for some real 𝑘 > 0.

From the inductive assumption, 𝑘 2 − 3𝑘 + 2 ≥ 0.

From the inductive assumption, (2𝑘 − 1 − 3𝑘) ≥ 0.
Since 𝑘 ≥ 4, 2𝑘 − 3 ≥ 0.

11 A. When 𝑛 = 3, the polygon is a triangle with interior angles adding to 180.


180° = (𝑛 − 2) × 180°
So the result is true for 𝑛 = 3.

B. Assume the statement is true for integer 𝑛 = 𝑘 ≥ 3.


That is, assume that the interior angle sum of a polygon with 𝑘 sides is
(𝑘 − 2) × 180°
Now prove the statement for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1. That is, prove that the interior angle sum
of a polygon with 𝑘 + 1 sides is (𝑘 − 2 + 1) × 180°.
To show this, choose any two vertices of the polygon that are separated by just
one other vertex, and draw a line between them:

This divides the (𝑘 + 1)-sided polygon into a triangle and a 𝑘-sided polygon.
The sum of internal angles of the (𝑘 + 1)-sided polygon equals the sum of
internal angles of the triangle, and the sum of internal angles of the 𝑘-sided
polygon.
From the inductive assumption, the internal angles of the 𝑘-sided polygon total
(𝑘 − 2) × 180°. Adding this to the 180° from the triangle gives
(𝑘 − 2 + 1) × 180° as required.

C. It follows from parts A and B by mathematical induction that the result is true

Consider a (𝑘 + 1)-sided polygon 𝑃, with vertices labelled 𝑉1 to 𝑉𝑘+1 in clockwise


order around the polygon.
Let 𝑃′ be the 𝑘-sided polygon with vertices 𝑉1 to 𝑉𝑘 in clockwise order around
the polygon, but not 𝑉𝑘+1 .
1
By the inductive hypothesis, 𝑃′ has 2 𝑘(𝑘 − 3) diagonals. Note that each of these
diagonals of 𝑃′ is also a diagonal of 𝑃.
The other diagonals of 𝑃 are:
One diagonal between 𝑉𝑘 and 𝑉1 (this wasn’t counted in the diagonals of 𝑃′
because it is an edge of 𝑃′ ).
Diagonals between 𝑉𝑘+1 and 𝑉2 , 𝑉3 , … , 𝑉𝑘−1 (but not 𝑉1 or 𝑉𝑘 since these are edges
of 𝑃). There are 𝑘 − 2 such diagonals.

(𝑘 2 + 𝑘 + 2) regions.

The (𝑘 + 1)th line crosses each of the other 𝑘 lines, each at a separate point.
Therefore it passes through 𝑘 + 1 of the regions formed by the first 𝑘 lines,

That is, assume that every set with 𝑘 members has 2𝑘 subsets.
Now prove the statement for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1. That is, prove that every set with 𝑘 + 1
members has 2𝑘+1 subsets.
We have assumed that a set with 𝑘 elements has 2𝑘 subsets.
If we add a new element to the set, we get 2𝑘 new subsets by adding the new
element to each of the subsets of the original 𝑘-element set.
So, the new set has 2𝑘 subsets that contain the new element as well as the
original 2𝑘 subsets that don’t contain the new element.
So, a (𝑘 + 1)-element set has 2𝑘 + 2𝑘 = 2 × 2𝑘 = 2𝑘+1 subsets.

1a Consider triangle 𝐴𝑂𝐵, as shown in the diagram.

Since the inscribed dodecagon is made up of twelve such triangles, its area is

1b i Let 𝑡 = tan 15°.


From the double-angle formula,

tan 30° =

In the first quadrant, tan must be positive.

Therefore 𝑡 = 2 − √3 so tan 15° = 2 − √3.

1b ii Let 𝑀 be the point where 𝐻𝐺 touches the circle.


Angle 𝑀𝑂𝐻 = 15° and |𝑂𝑀| = 1 cm

Area of ∆𝑂𝐺𝐻 = 2 × 2 × 1 cm × (2 − √3) cm

Therefore area of the circumscribed dodecagon is 12(2 − √3) cm2 .

1c Since the circle lies entirely within the circumscribed dodecagon, and the
inscribed dodecagon lies entirely within the circle, the circle’s area must be

𝑑𝑓
Therefore 𝑑𝑥 > 0 here,

Therefore 𝑑𝑥 < 0 here.

So the gradient is zero or increasing for all points to the left of 𝑥 = 𝑛, and

From the result in part a,

From the result in part a:

5a Let 𝑛 be the first of the three numbers.


Then the other two are 𝑛 + 1 and 𝑛 + 2.
Therefore their sum is
𝑛+𝑛+1+𝑛+2
= 3𝑛 + 3
= 3(𝑛 + 1)
So their sum is divisible by 3.

5b Let 2𝑛 be the first of the three numbers.


Then the other two are 2𝑛 + 2 and 2𝑛 + 4.
Therefore their product is
2𝑛(2𝑛 + 2)(2𝑛 + 4)
= 2𝑛 × 2(2 + 1) × 2(2 + 2)
= 2 × 2 × 2𝑛(𝑛 + 1)(𝑛 + 2)
= 8 × 𝑛(𝑛 + 1)(𝑛 + 2)
So their product is divisible by 8.

5c Let 2𝑛 be the first of the two numbers.


Then the other is 2𝑛 + 2.
Their product is 4𝑛2 + 4𝑛 = 4𝑛(𝑛 + 1)
Case 1: If 𝑛 is even, then 4𝑛 is a multiple of 8.
Therefore 4𝑛(𝑛 + 1) is a multiple of 8.
Case 2: If 𝑛 is odd, then 𝑛 + 1 is even.
Therefore 4(𝑛 + 1) is a multiple of 8.
Therefore 4𝑛(𝑛 + 1) is a multiple of 8.
So in either case, the product of the two numbers is divisible by 8.

6 If a square number is odd, then its square root is also odd.


Let 2𝑛 + 1 be the square root.
Therefore the square number is
(2𝑛 + 1)2
= 4𝑛2 + 4𝑛 + 1
= 4(𝑛2 + 𝑛) + 1
Since 4(𝑛2 + 𝑛) is divisible by 4, the remainder when (2𝑛 + 1)2 is divisible by 4
is 1.

7 Suppose a number 𝑛 is divisible by 15.


Therefore 𝑛 = 15𝑎 for some integer 𝑎.
Therefore 𝑛 = 3(5𝑎) so it is divisible by 3.
Similarly, 𝑛 = 5(3𝑎) so it is divisible by 5.

8 𝑛3 − 𝑛
= 𝑛(𝑛2 − 1)
= (𝑛 − 1)(𝑛)(𝑛 + 1)
Since 𝑛 is odd, 𝑛 − 1 and 𝑛 + 1 are consecutive even numbers, so their product
must be divisible by 8. (See proof in question 5c.)
Since 𝑛 − 1, 𝑛, and 𝑛 + 1 are three consecutive integers, one of them must be a
multiple of 3, therefore their product must be divisible by 3.
Therefore 𝑛3 − 𝑛 is divisible by both 3 and 8.
Since 3 and 8 have no common factors, it must therefore be divisible by 3 × 8 =
24.

9 If 𝑛 is not divisible by 3, then it must be either one greater than or one less than a
multiple of 3.
Therefore 𝑛 = 3𝑚 + 𝑎, where 𝑚 is an integer and 𝑎 is either 1 or −1.

Therefore 𝑛2 + 2 is divisible by 3.

Therefore 2𝑛 + 1 is divisible by 3.

2𝑚𝑛 + 1

11a Proof by contradiction:


𝑚
Suppose √7 = where 𝑚 and 𝑛 are integers with 𝑛 ≥ 1 and their HCF is 1. That
𝑛
is, they have been reduced to lowest terms.
Squaring and re-arranging gives
7𝑛2 = 𝑚2
Thus 𝑚2 is divisible by 7.
If 𝑚 were not divisible by 7 then 𝑚2 would not be divisible by 7.
Hence 𝑚 is also divisible by 7. So let 𝑚 = 7𝑝 and write
7𝑛2 = 49𝑝2
or 𝑛2 = 7𝑚2
Thus 𝑛2 is divisible by 7.
Now if 𝑛 were not divisible by 7 then 𝑛2 would not be divisible by 7.
Hence 𝑛 is also divisible by 7.
That is, 7 is a common factor of 𝑚 and 𝑛.
But the HCF is 1, so there is a contradiction.

Hence √7 is irrational.

11b Proof by contradiction:


𝑚
Suppose log 3 7 = where 𝑚 and 𝑛 are integers with 𝑛 ≥ 1 and their HCF is 1.
𝑛
That is, they have been reduced to lowest terms.
By definition,
𝑚
3𝑛 = 7
Raising both sides to the power 𝑛,
3𝑚 = 7𝑛
But this implies that 3 divides 7𝑛 which is impossible as the only factors of this
number are powers of 7.
This is a contradiction, hence log 3 7 is irrational.

Therefore 𝑎2 = 4𝑚2 + 4𝑚 + 1

Therefore 𝑎2 is odd (and not even).
Proving this proves the contrapositive: if 𝑎2 is even then 𝑎 is odd.

17a A. When 𝑛 = 2, 𝑛(𝑛 + 2) = 2(4) = 8


Therefore the result is true for 𝑛 = 2.

B. Assume the statement is true for the positive even integer 𝑛 = 𝑘.


That is, assume that
𝑘(𝑘 + 2) = 4𝑚 for some integer 𝑚.
Now prove the statement for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 2. That is, prove that
(𝑘 + 2)(𝑘 + 4) is divisible by 4.
(𝑘 + 2)(𝑘 + 4)
= 𝑘(𝑘 + 2) + 4(𝑘 + 2)
= 4𝑚 + 4(𝑘 + 2) (from the inductive assumption)
= 4(𝑚 + 𝑘 + 2)

Therefore the result is true for 𝑛 = 1.

B. Assume the statement is true for the positive odd integer 𝑛 = 𝑘.


That is, assume that
4𝑘 + 5𝑘 + 6𝑘 = 15𝑚 for some integer 𝑚.
Now prove the statement for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 2. That is, prove that
4𝑘+2 + 5𝑘+2 + 6𝑘+2 is divisible by 15.
4𝑘+2 + 5𝑘+2 + 6𝑘+2
= 16 × 4𝑘 + 25 × 5𝑘 + 36 × 6𝑘
= 16(4𝑘 + 5𝑘 + 6𝑘 ) + 9 × 5𝑘 + 20 × 6𝑘
= 16(15𝑚) + 45 × 5𝑘−1 + 60 × 6𝑘−1
= 15(16𝑚 + 3 × 5𝑘−1 + 4 × 6𝑘−1 )
which is a multiple of 15.
(Note that 5𝑘−1 and 6𝑘−1 are integers because 𝑘 ≥ 1.)

By definition,

(𝑘 + 1)! > (𝑘 + 1)3𝑘
Further,
(𝑘 + 1)3𝑘 > 3 × 3𝑘 since 𝑘 + 1 > 3
Therefore

𝑑𝑥

= (−1)𝑛 (𝑥 − 𝑛)𝑒 −𝑥
Therefore the result is true for 𝑛 = 1.

B. Assume the statement is true for the positive integer 𝑛 = 𝑘.


That is, assume that the 𝑘th derivative of 𝑥𝑒 −𝑥 is

Now prove the statement for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1. That is, prove that the (𝑘 + 1)th

22 We begin by showing that the sum of interior angles is equal to 180°(𝑛 − 2)


through induction.
A. When 𝑛 = 3, the polygon is a triangle with interior angles adding to 180.
180° = (𝑛 − 2) × 180°
So the result is true for 𝑛 = 3.

B. Assume the statement is true for integer 𝑛 = 𝑘 ≥ 3.


That is, assume that the interior angle sum of a polygon with 𝑘 sides is
(𝑘 − 2) × 180°.
Now prove the statement for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1. That is, prove that the interior angle sum
of a polygon with 𝑘 + 1 sides is
(𝑘 − 2 + 1) × 180°.
To show this, choose any two vertices of the polygon that are separated by just
one other vertex, and draw a line between them:

This divides the (𝑘 + 1)-sided polygon into a triangle and a 𝑘-sided polygon.
The sum of internal angles of the (𝑘 + 1)-sided polygon equals the sum of
internal angles of the triangle, and the sum of internal angles of the 𝑘-sided
polygon.
From the inductive assumption, the internal angles of the 𝑘-sided polygon total
(𝑘 − 2) × 180°. Adding this to the 180° from the triangle gives (𝑘 − 2 + 1) ×
180° as required.

C. It follows from parts A and B by mathematical induction that the result is true
for all integers 𝑛 ≥ 3. Since all polygons have at least three sides, this completes
the proof that the sum of interior angles is equal to 180°(𝑛 − 2).
At any vertex of the polygon, interior and exterior angles are complementary.

Chapter 2 worked solutions – Proof

Therefore the sum of all exterior and all interior angles of the polygon equals
180° × 𝑛.
Therefore the sum of all exterior angles is
180° × 𝑛 − 180°(𝑛 − 2)
= 180° × 2
= 360°
as required.

23a A. When 𝑛 = 1, 2n = 2
Therefore the result is true for 𝑛 = 1.

B. Assume the statement is true for the positive integer 𝑛 = 𝑘.


That is, assume that
2𝑘 > 𝑘
Now prove the statement for 𝑛 = 𝑘 + 1. That is, prove that
2𝑘+1 > 𝑘 + 1
From the inductive assumption:
2𝑘 > 𝑘
2(2𝑘 ) > 2𝑘
2𝑘+1 > 𝑘 + 𝑘
2𝑘+1 > 𝑘 + 1

𝑐𝑏𝑎 = 100𝑐 + 10𝑏 + 𝑎

Let 𝑑 = 𝑎 − 𝑐
Then 100𝑎 − 100𝑐 = 𝑑00
𝑎𝑏𝑐 − 𝑐𝑏𝑎 = 𝑑00 − 𝑑
Working through the subtraction, the digits of 𝑎𝑏𝑐 − 𝑐𝑏𝑎 are (𝑑 − 1), 9, (10 − 𝑑).
Since 𝑎 − 𝑐 > 1 we know that 𝑑 − 1 is still greater than zero, hence 𝑎𝑏𝑐 − 𝑐𝑏𝑎 is
still a three-digit number.
When reversed, the digits of this difference are (10 − 𝑑), 9, (𝑑 − 1).

Therefore, the difference added to its reverse is:

= 100(𝑑 − 1 + 10 − 𝑑) + 10(9 + 9) + 1(10 − 𝑑 + 𝑑 − 1)
= 100(9) + 10(18) + 1(9)

16𝑥 4 + 16𝑥 3 − 4𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 1 = 16𝑥 4 + 8𝑏𝑥 3 + (8𝑐 + 𝑏 2 )𝑥 2 + 2𝑏𝑐𝑥 + 𝑐 2

Equating coefficients of 𝑥 gives


16 = 8𝑏 (1)
−4 = 8𝑐 + 𝑏 2 (2)
From (1), 𝑏 = 2.
Substituting this into (2) gives 𝑐 = −1.
Any root of 16𝑥 4 + 16𝑥 3 − 4𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 1 is necessarily a root of (4𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐).
Since there are two factors of (4𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐) in the original equation, any root
will be a root of the quadratic and will be a double root of the initial equations.
Since quadratics have two roots, it follows that 16𝑥 4 + 16𝑥 3 − 4𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 1 = 0
must have two double roots (or one quadruple root).

8d Dividing 16𝑥 5 − 20𝑥 3 + 5𝑥 − 1 by (𝑥 − 1) yields 16𝑥 4 + 16𝑥 3 − 4𝑥 2 + 1.


𝜋 9𝜋 13𝜋 17𝜋
Hence it follows that since 𝑥 = 1, sin 10 , sin 10 , sin , sin are roots of the
10 10
former equation, and since 𝑥 = 1 is a root of the divisor,
𝜋 9𝜋 13𝜋 17𝜋
𝑥 = sin 10 , sin 10 , sin , sin must be roots of the quotient
10 10
16𝑥 4 + 16𝑥 3 − 4𝑥 2 + 1 as required.
9𝜋 𝜋 𝜋
There is no contradiction to part c as sin 10 = sin (𝜋 − 10) = sin 10 and
13𝜋 13𝜋 17𝜋
sin = sin (3𝜋 − ) = sin and so indeed there are two double roots.

10b (𝜔 − 1)(1 + 𝜔 + 𝜔2 + 𝜔3 + 𝜔4 + 𝜔5 + 𝜔6 + 𝜔7 + 𝜔8 )

= 𝜔 + 𝜔2 + 𝜔3 + 𝜔4 + 𝜔5 + 𝜔6 + 𝜔7 + 𝜔8 + 𝜔9
−(1 + 𝜔 + 𝜔2 + 𝜔3 + 𝜔4 + 𝜔5 + 𝜔6 + 𝜔7 + 𝜔8 )
= 𝜔9 − 1
Hence the equation
(𝜔 − 1)(1 + 𝜔 + 𝜔2 + 𝜔3 + 𝜔4 + 𝜔5 + 𝜔6 + 𝜔7 + 𝜔8 ) = 0
has the same roots as 𝜔9 − 1 = 0 which are the ninth roots of unity.
Hence the roots of
1 + 𝜔 + 𝜔2 + 𝜔3 + 𝜔4 + 𝜔5 + 𝜔6 + 𝜔7 + 𝜔8 = 0
will be the complex ninth roots of unity.
So, provided that 𝜔 ≠ 1,
1 + 𝜔 + 𝜔2 + 𝜔3 + 𝜔4 + 𝜔5 + 𝜔6 + 𝜔7 + 𝜔8 = 0
and so
𝜔 + 𝜔2 + 𝜔3 + 𝜔4 + 𝜔5 + 𝜔6 + 𝜔7 + 𝜔8 = −1

6a Consider the equation
𝑧 4 + 16 = 0
Let 𝑧 = 𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝜃 be a root of the equation.
4
(𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝜃 ) + 16 = 0

𝑟 4 𝑒 4𝑖𝜃 = −16

𝑟 4 = 16 and 𝑒 4𝑖𝜃 = −1
(2𝑛+1)𝜋
Hence 𝑟 = 2 and 4𝜃 = 𝜋 + 2𝑛𝜋 so 𝜃 = where 𝑛 is an integer. Thus

𝑖𝜋 3𝑖𝜋
𝑧 = 2𝑒 ± 4 , 2𝑒 ± 4

Hence writing 𝑧 4 + 16 as a product of factors gives

Let 𝑧 = 𝑟 cis(𝜃). It follows that
𝑟 5 cis(5𝜃) + 1 = 0
𝑟 5 cis(5𝜃) = −1

Hence 𝑟 = 1 and cis(5𝜃) = −1 so 5𝜃 = 𝜋 + 2𝑛𝜋 and thus 𝜃 = . From this

𝑧 7 = 𝑟 7 (cis 𝜃)7

It follows that 𝑟 = 1 and hence cis 7𝜃 = −1
Hence cos 7𝜃 = −1 and so 7𝜃 = ±𝜋, ±3𝜋, ±5𝜋, 7𝜋

Thus 𝜃 = ± 7 , ± ,± , 𝜋 and so the roots are

The intersecting plane on the 𝑥𝑧-plane will occur when 𝑦 = 0.

For a vector 𝑐̰ which is perpendicular to 𝑎̰ and 𝑏̰ ,


𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ = 𝑏̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ = 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ = 0
𝑐̰ = 𝜆1 𝑖̰ + 𝜆2 𝑗̰ + 𝜆3 𝑘̰

𝑏̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ = 2𝜆1 + 𝜆2 − 3𝜆3
𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ = 𝜆1 − 𝜆2 + 2𝜆3

Rearranging 𝑏̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ and 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ for 𝜆1 :


𝜆1 − 𝜆2 + 2𝜆3 = 0
𝜆1 = 𝜆2 − 2𝜆3
2𝜆1 + 𝜆2 − 3𝜆3 = 0
2𝜆1 = 3𝜆3 − 𝜆2
Equating 𝜆1 :
2(𝜆2 − 2𝜆3 ) = 3𝜆3 − 𝜆2
3𝜆2 = 7𝜆3 = 𝜆1

So a value for 𝑐̰ will be a linear combination of of 𝜆1 (𝑖̰ + 7𝑗̰ + 3𝑘̰ ) where 𝜆1 ∈ 𝑅

One such vector is 𝑖̰ + 7𝑗̰ + 3𝑘̰ .

Using the distributive law:
𝑎̰ ∙ (𝑏̰ + 𝑐̰ ) = 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ + 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑐̰
𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ + 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ = 𝑏̰ ∙ (𝑎̰ − 𝑐̰ )
𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ = 𝑏̰ ∙ (𝑎̰ − 𝑐̰ ) − 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑏̰
For 𝑐̰ ∙ (𝑎̰ + 𝑏̰ ) = 0
LHS = 𝑐̰ ∙ (𝑎̰ + 𝑏̰ )
= 𝑐̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ + 𝑐̰ ∙ 𝑏̰

Solutions to Exercise 5E Foundation questions


1 For a quadrilateral 𝑂𝐴𝐵𝐶, where the diagonals 𝑂𝐵 and 𝐴𝐶 bisect each other
Let 𝑀 be the point where the diagonals intersect one another.
Since 𝑀 bisects both diagonals:
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝐵
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ =
𝑂𝑀 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
= 𝑀𝐵
2
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝐶
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ =
𝐴𝑀 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
= 𝑀𝐶
2
Now we consider two opposite sides of the quadrilateral:
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝐴 = ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝑀 + ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑀𝐴

= ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝑀 − ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝐶 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

2 2

𝑂𝐴
Therefore sides 𝑂𝐴 and 𝐶𝐵 are parallel and equal. This is sufficient to prove that
𝑂𝐴𝐵𝐶 is a parallelogram.

2c ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ ∙ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
Since the diagonals are perpendicular, 𝑂𝐵 𝐴𝐶 = 0
Therefore
(𝑎̰ + 𝑐̰ ) ∙ (𝑐̰ − 𝑎̰ ) = 0
Expanding:
𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ − 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ + 𝑐̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ − 𝑐̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = 0
From part a:
𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ = 𝑐̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = 0
Therefore
𝑐̰ ∙ 𝑐̰ − 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = 0
|𝑐̰ |2 − |𝑎̰|2 = 0
|𝑐̰ |2 = |𝑎̰|2
|𝑐̰ | = |𝑎̰|
Therefore 𝑂𝐴𝐵𝐶 is a rectangle whose sides are equal, making it a square.

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝑀 = 𝑚̰
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ | = |𝑂𝐵
|𝑂𝐴 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ | as both |𝑂𝐴

Thus 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = 𝑏̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ .

3b ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝐴 = 𝑎̰
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 𝑏̰
𝑂𝐵
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 𝑚̰
𝑂𝑀
Therefore:
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰
𝐴𝑀
2
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ |
(𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ ) = |𝐴𝑀

Similarly:
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐵𝑀 = 𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰
2
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ |
(𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ ) = |𝐵𝑀

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ | = |𝐵𝑀
Because 𝑀 bisects 𝐴𝐵, we know that |𝐴𝑀 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ |.
2 2
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ | = |𝐵𝑀
Therefore |𝐴𝑀 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ |

Therefore (𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ ) = (𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ ).

3c For ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝑀 ⊥ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝐵 , it is sufficient to prove that ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝑀 ∙ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝐵 = 0
From part b:
(𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ ) = (𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ )
𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑚̰ − 2𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ + 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = 𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑚̰ − 2𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ + 𝑏̰ ∙ 𝑏̰
−2𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = −2𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ (using the fact that 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = 𝑏̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ )
𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = 𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑏̰
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝑀 = 𝑚̰ and ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝐵 = 𝑏̰ − 𝑎̰
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ ∙ 𝐴𝐵
𝑂𝑀 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

= 𝑚̰ ∙ (𝑏̰ − 𝑎̰ )
= 𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ − 𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑎̰
=0
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ ⊥ 𝐴𝐵
Therefore 𝑂𝑀 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ .

4 The converse result is that if 𝑀 lies on the chord 𝐴𝐵 and ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗


𝑂𝑀 ⊥ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝐵 , then 𝑀 bisects
𝐴𝐵.
We have:
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝐴 = 𝑎̰
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 𝑏̰
𝑂𝐵
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 𝑚̰
𝑂𝑀
𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = 𝑏̰ ∙ 𝑏̰
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ ⊥ 𝐴𝐵
and since 𝑂𝑀 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ , we have

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝑀 ∙ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝐵 = 0
Therefore
𝑚̰ ∙ (𝑏̰ − 𝑎̰ ) = 0
𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ = 𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑎̰
(𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ )
= 𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑚̰ − 2𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ + 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑎̰
= 𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑚̰ − 2𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ + 𝑏̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ (using 𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ = 𝑚̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ and 𝑎̰ ∙ 𝑎̰ = 𝑏̰ ∙ 𝑏̰ )
= (𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ )
Therefore
(𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ ) = (𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ ) ∙ (𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ )
|(𝑚̰ − 𝑎̰ )|2 = |(𝑚̰ − 𝑏̰ )|2
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ | = |𝐵𝑀
|𝐴𝑀 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ |

Therefore 𝑀 bisects 𝐴𝐵.

𝑦 = (𝑥 + 2)2 − 2

10b Since 𝑡 ≥ 0 and 𝑥 = 𝑡 − 2,


𝑥 ≥0−2
𝑥 ≥ −2
So domain is [−2, ∞).

10c Graph of 𝑦 = (𝑥 + 2)2 − 2 for 𝑥 ≥ −2 shown below.


𝑥-intercept: when 𝑦 = 0,
(𝑥 + 2)2 − 2 = 0
(𝑥 + 2)2 = 2

𝑥 + 2 = ±√2

𝑥 = −2 ± √2

But 𝑥 ≥ −2, so 𝑥-intercept is −2 + √2.


𝑦-intercept: when 𝑥 = 0,
𝑦 = (0 + 2)2 − 2 = 2
So 𝑦-intercept is 2.

11a 𝑎̰ = 3𝑖̰ − 𝑗̰

For a circle with radius 𝑟, centred on the origin its vector equation will be:
𝑟 = |𝑎̰|
|𝑟̰ |2 = 32 + (−1)2

|𝑟̰ | = √10

11b 𝑎̰ = 3𝑖̰ − 𝑗̰

The tangent of the circle at point 𝑎´ is perpendicular to the radius.


So (𝑟̰ − 𝑎̰ ) ∙ 𝑎̰ = 0

(𝑟̰ − (3𝑖̰ − 𝑗̰)) ∙ (3𝑖̰ − 𝑗̰) = 0

11c 𝑎̰ = 3𝑖̰ − 𝑗̰

𝑟 = √10
(𝑟̰ − 𝑎̰ ) ∙ 𝑎̰ = 0

(𝑥𝑖̰ + 𝑦𝑗̰) ∙ (3𝑖̰ − 𝑗̰) + 10 = 0

(3𝑥 − 𝑦) − 10 = 0
So the Cartesian equation for the tangent is:

As there is only a single value for the two spheres to intersect on the 𝑥-axis, the
spheres touch each other at a single point.

14a The circle of intersection will be perpendicular to the axis the spheres are
centred on as both spheres centre on the 𝑧-axis, one at (0, 0, 0) and the other at
(0, 0, 5).
The sphere of intersection between the two spheres will be parallel to the 𝑥𝑦-

maintain its inertial state of going up with a velocity of 20 m/s while being acted

The particle has an acceleration of 𝑒 −𝑥 which is always greater than zero and the
particle has an initial velocity of 2. So, from there onwards, the particle can only
accelerate and increase the velocity. Hence, the velocity can never fall below 2.
After infinite amount of time, the particle will reach a limiting velocity of √6 m/s2

22 Consider a SHM with time period 𝑇, amplitude 𝐴, frequency 𝑛 and phase angle 𝛼.
Say, the equation for displacement of the particle is: 𝑥 = 𝐴 sin(𝑛𝑡 + 𝛼)
So, the velocity of particle is given by: 𝑣 = 𝐴𝑛 cos(𝑛𝑡 + 𝛼)
In an SHM, a particle travels a total distance of 4𝐴 in time period 𝑇.

As proven in part a, 𝑓(𝑋) is an increasing function and 𝑓(𝑋) > 0 for 𝑋 > 𝑔.
𝑔 2
For times 𝑡 = 𝑇 and 𝑡 = 2𝑇, 𝑓(𝑋) is continuously increasing at a rate of (1 − 𝑋) .
That is, faster than linear increase.
Hence, the interval of (2𝑇 − 𝑇) is greater than (𝑇 − 0).
So, the downward journey will take longer than the upward journey.
