8 A television quiz show takes place every day. On day 1 the prize money is \(
) 1000$. If this is not won the prize money is increased for day 2 . The prize money is increased in a similar way every day until it is won. The television company considered the following two different models for increasing the prize money. Model 1: Increase the prize money by \(
) 1000$ each day.
Model 2: Increase the prize money by \(10 \%\) each day.
On each day that the prize money is not won the television company makes a donation to charity. The amount donated is \(5 \%\) of the value of the prize on that day. After 40 days the prize money has still not been won. Calculate the total amount donated to charity
  1. if Model 1 is used,
  2. if Model 2 is used.

Arc \(P S T\) has centre \(O\) and radius \(r\), and the line \(A S B\) is a tangent to the \(\operatorname { arc } P S T\) at \(S\).
  1. Find the total area of the shaded regions in terms of \(r\) and \(\theta\).
  2. In the case where \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi\) and \(r = 6\), find the total perimeter of the shaded regions, leaving your answer in terms of \(\sqrt { } 3\) and \(\pi\).

  1. Express \(2 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x + 1\) in the form \(a ( x + b ) ^ { 2 } + c\) and hence state the coordinates of the minimum point, \(A\), on the curve \(y = 2 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x + 1\). The line \(x - y + 4 = 0\) intersects the curve \(y = 2 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x + 1\) at points \(P\) and \(Q\). It is given that the coordinates of \(P\) are \(( 3,7 )\).
