1 Matrices \(\mathbf { P }\) and \(\mathbf { Q }\) are given by \(\mathbf { P } = \left( \begin{array} { c c c } 1 & k & 0 \\ - 2 & 1 & 3 \end{array} \right)\) and \(\mathbf { Q } = ( ( 1 + k ) - 1 )\) where \(k\) is a constant.
Exactly one of statements A and B is true.
Statement A: \(\quad \mathbf { P }\) and \(\mathbf { Q }\) (in that order) are conformable for multiplication.
Statement B: \(\quad \mathbf { Q }\) and \(\mathbf { P }\) (in that order) are conformable for multiplication.
  1. State, with a reason, which one of A and B is true.
  2. Find either \(\mathbf { P Q }\) or \(\mathbf { Q P }\) in terms of \(k\).

2 In this question you must show detailed reasoning. You are given that \(\mathrm { f } ( z ) = 4 z ^ { 4 } - 12 z ^ { 3 } + 41 z ^ { 2 } - 128 z + 185\) and that \(2 + \mathrm { i }\) is a root of the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( z ) = 0\).
  1. Express \(\mathrm { f } ( z )\) as the product of two quadratic factors with integer coefficients.
  2. Solve \(\mathrm { f } ( z ) = 0\). Two loci on an Argand diagram are defined by \(C _ { 1 } = \left\{ z : | z | = r _ { 1 } \right\}\) and \(C _ { 2 } = \left\{ z : | z | = r _ { 2 } \right\}\) where \(r _ { 1 } > r _ { 2 }\). You are given that two of the points representing the roots of \(\mathrm { f } ( z ) = 0\) are on \(C _ { 1 }\) and two are on \(C _ { 2 } \cdot R\) is the region on the Argand diagram between \(C _ { 1 }\) and \(C _ { 2 }\).
  3. Find the exact area of \(R\).
  4. \(\omega\) is the sum of all the roots of \(\mathrm { f } ( z ) = 0\). Determine whether or not the point on the Argand diagram which represents \(\omega\) lies in \(R\).

3 A transformation T is represented by the matrix \(\mathbf { T }\) where \(\mathbf { T } = \left( \begin{array} { c c } x ^ { 2 } + 1 & - 4 \\ 3 - 2 x ^ { 2 } & x ^ { 2 } + 5 \end{array} \right)\). A quadrilateral \(Q\), whose area is 12 units, is transformed by T to \(Q ^ { \prime }\). Find the smallest possible value of the area of \(Q ^ { \prime }\).

4 A transformation A is represented by the matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) where \(\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { c c c } - 1 & x & 2 \\ 7 - x & - 6 & 1 \\ 5 & - 5 x & 2 x \end{array} \right)\).
The tetrahedron \(H\) has vertices at \(O , P , Q\) and \(R\). The volume of \(H\) is 6 units. \(P ^ { \prime } , Q ^ { \prime } , R ^ { \prime }\) and \(H ^ { \prime }\) are the images of \(P , Q , R\) and \(H\) under A .
