Weite in dark biue or black pen on both sides of the paper. You may use a soft pencil for any diagrams or arephs. De not use staples, paper clips, highiighters, give or correction fluid Answer all the questions. Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question. ‘At the end of the examination, fasten all your work securely together. ‘The number of marks is given in brackets [ ] al the end of each question or part question. The use of an electronic calculator is expected, where appropriate, Resuits obtained solely from a graphic calculator, without supporting working or reasoning, will not receive credit You are reminded of the need for clear presentation in your answers. ‘This document consists of 6 printed pages © Taylor's College Subang Jaya 2008, [Turn over2 1 _ 500499 Show that }?———___ = 3 how that LE +I(k+2) 2002000 8 The equations of two planes are r=itk+2(i-2j+k)t+w@j+2k) and kt+y=5 () Find the cosine of the acute angle between the two planes. Bb) (i) The line of intersection of the two planes is L. Find, in the form r= a+ Jb, the equation of L. 3) The cubic equation ax’ + bx” + ex + d= 0 has the property that two of its roots are the reciprocals of each other. Prove that a” — d” = ac -bd. Verify that this condition holds for the equation 9x° + 24x” — 11x~6= 0, hence solve the equation.
