Instead of agreeing that its 0.1, do you think one of you could post HOW you got the answer?
i got the answer to be 102.6 metres.
First you had ti find the distance PT (using pythagoras with the other two sides) which equalled 2050. Then I 'looked' from above, and drew a diagram of an isosceles triangle with height PT and base 2r. Because of the line down the middle, you have two right angle triangles, with sides r and PT. you are given the acute angle 0.1/2 (you have to divide by two because alpha is the total angle, and you just want half). Then tan (a/2) = r/PT
r=tan(0.1/2).2050
=102.6m

7 a ii did people use the r = 2050tan(@/2) or 2050tan(@) cause i used the latter but thinking about it i halved the radian to get 102.6 m.

i think i got 483 secs for 6 b iii but i know thats wrong. i did x velocity squared plus y velocity squared less than 350 squared. then since there was t in equation, made t the subject and came out as that. did i stuff up working or had a completely wrong method

was the shortest length question 2 times square root of three. made delta zero

For Question 3dii to get the shortest chord, x needs to be exactly half of L. So L=2x. You just sub this into the equation:

x^2 - Lx + 12 = 0

Becomes

x^2 - 2x^2 +12 = 0

-x^2 +12 = 0

x^2 = 12

Thus x is the positive square root of 12, since a length can't be negative.

i think people should stop wasting time on this qeustion things go study for ur other subjects

just hope the median is around the 50's/84
so if u get around like 60 like me u proberly get around high 85's

isnt Q4c)iii)

x^2 = ay – 3a^2?
not x^2 = a(y-3)?

nice 12/12 q4 thats better. hey with ur solns for quetion 2a) isnt it 2/... not 10/... and if im wrong why isnit it 2/....
you need to differentiate the 5x.. hence 2 x 5 = 10...
