.A metal tray, in the shape of a rectangular prism with a square base, is made out of 108square centimetres of sheet metal. The tray is open at the top. Let x cm be the side length of the base and h cm be the height as shown.
Show that h= 108-x24x Show that the volume, V of the tray is given by V=27x-x24 Find the maximum volume of the tray.

On a golf course, the tee is a distance of 130 metres due west from the hole. On her first shot, Kelly hits the ball 100 metres but not at the correct angle. On her second shot she hits the ball 35 metres and gets it in the hole. On what bearing, a, did she hit her first shot? Give your answer correct to the nearest degree
A(4,2) and B(−2,−8) are two points on the number plane.The point P(x,y) moves so that PA is always perpendicular to PB. (i) Find the gradiant of PA and PB in term of x and y. (ii) Hence, show that the equation of the locus of P is (x−1)2+(y+3)2=34 (iii) Describe the locus of P geometrically.
