10 A scientist is researching the effects of caffeine. She models the mass of caffeine in the body using $$m = m _ { 0 } \mathrm { e } ^ { - k t }$$ where \(m _ { 0 }\) milligrams is the initial mass of caffeine in the body and \(m\) milligrams is the mass of caffeine in the body after \(t\) hours. On average, it takes 5.7 hours for the mass of caffeine in the body to halve.
One cup of strong coffee contains 200 mg of caffeine.

  1. The scientist drinks two strong cups of coffee at 8 am. Use the model to estimate the mass of caffeine in the scientist's body at midday.

11 The daily world production of oil can be modelled using $$V = 10 + 100 \left( \frac { t } { 30 } \right) ^ { 3 } - 50 \left( \frac { t } { 30 } \right) ^ { 4 }$$ where \(V\) is volume of oil in millions of barrels, and \(t\) is time in years since 1 January 1980. 11
    1. The model is used to predict the time, \(T\), when oil production will fall to zero.
      Show that \(T\) satisfies the equation $$T = \sqrt [ 3 ] { 60 T ^ { 2 } + \frac { 162000 } { T } }$$ 11

    11
  2. (iii) Explain the relevance of using \(T _ { 0 } = 38\) 11
  3. From 1 January 1980 the daily use of oil by one technologically developing country can be modelled as $$V = 4.5 \times 1.063 ^ { t }$$ Use the models to show that the country's use of oil and the world production of oil will be equal during the year 2029.

Question 14

14 Some students are trying to prove an identity for \(\sin ( A + B )\). They start by drawing two right-angled triangles \(O D E\) and \(O E F\), as shown.
\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{85b10472-8149-4387-999f-2ef153f1a105-22_695_662_477_689} The students' incomplete proof continues,
Let angle \(D O E = A\) and angle \(E O F = B\).
In triangle OFR,
Line \(1 \quad \sin ( A + B ) = \frac { R F } { O F }\) Line 2 $$= \frac { R P + P F } { O F }$$ Line 3 $$= \frac { D E } { O F } + \frac { P F } { O F } \text { since } D E = R P$$ Line 4 $$= \frac { D E } { \cdots \cdots } \times \frac { \cdots \cdots } { O F } + \frac { P F } { E F } \times \frac { E F } { O F }$$ Line 5
\(=\) \(\_\_\_\_\) \(+ \cos A \sin B\) 14
  1. Explain why \(\frac { P F } { E F } \times \frac { E F } { O F }\) in Line 4 leads to \(\cos A \sin B\) in Line 5
    14
  2. Complete Line 4 and Line 5 to prove the identity Line 4 $$= \frac { D E } { \ldots \ldots } \times \frac { \cdots \ldots } { O F } + \frac { P F } { E F } \times \frac { E F } { O F }$$ Line 5 = \(+ \cos A \sin B\) 14
  3. Explain why the argument used in part (a) only proves the identity when \(A\) and \(B\) are acute angles. 14
  4. Another student claims that by replacing \(B\) with \(- B\) in the identity for \(\sin ( A + B )\) it is possible to find an identity for \(\sin ( A - B )\). Assuming the identity for \(\sin ( A + B )\) is correct for all values of \(A\) and \(B\), prove a similar result for \(\sin ( A - B )\).
