2 The 3 flavours of puddings produced by a dessert shop are mango, durian and strawberry. A
mango pudding requires 5g of sugar and 36ml of water. A durian pudding requires 6g of
sugar and 38ml of water. A strawberry pudding requires 4g of sugar and 40ml of water. The
puddings are sold in pairs of the same type at $1.60, $2.20 and $1.80 for mango, durian and
strawberry respectively.
On a particular day, 754g of sugar and 5972ml of water were used to make the puddings and
all the puddings made were sold except for a pair of strawberry puddings. The collection
from the sale of puddings was $142.40. Formulate the equations required to determine the
number of each type of pudding made on that day. [4]

6 An economist is studying how the annual economic growth of 2 countries varies with time.
The annual economic growth of a country is measured in percentage and is denoted by G
and the time in years after 1980 is denoted by t. Both G and t are taken to be continuous
variables.
(i) Country A is a developing country and the economist found that G and t are can be modeled
dG G + 1
by the differential equation = . Given that, when t = 0 , G = 0 , find G in terms of t.

(ii) Comment on the suitability of the above differential equation model to forecast the future
economic growth of Country A. [1]
(iii) Country B is a developed country and the economist found that G and t can be modeled by
dG G +1
the differential equation = − .
dt 2
Given that Country B has been experiencing decreasing economic growth during the period
of study, sketch a member of the family of solution curves of the differential equation model
for Country B. Hence, comment on the economic growth of Country B in the long term. [2]

10(a) The first 2 terms of a geometric progression are a and b ( b < a ). If the sum of the first n
terms is equal to twice the sum to infinity of the remaining terms, prove that a n = 3b n .
[3]
(b) The terms u1 , u2 , u3 ,... form an arithmetic sequence with first term a and having non-zero
common difference d.
(i) Given that the sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence is 105 more than 10u5 , find
the common difference. [3]
(ii) If u26 is the first term in the sequence which is greater than 542, find the range of
values of a. [3]

(ii) Find, in terms of a, the volume of the solid formed when S is rotated completely about the
x-axis. [4]
(iii) By using a suitable translation, find, in terms of a, the volume of the solid formed when R is
rotated completely about the line x = 2a . [4]

Hence what can be said about the function gf ? [1]
Without sketching the graph of gf , find the range of gf in the form [ a, b ] , giving the exact
values of a and b. [1]
(iii) (a) Give a reason why fg does not exist as a function. [1]
(b) Find the greatest exact value of k for which fg is a function if the domain of g is
restricted to the interval [1, k ] . [2]
