A man is in a boat at point B on a lake and AD is a straight stretch of the lake's edge. B is 3 kilometres from a point A on the river bank. The man wishes to travel from point B to point D. He intends to row in a straight line to point C and then walk to D. He can row at 4 km/h and walk at 5 km. /h.
Let the distance AC be x kilometres and let the total time for the trip be T hours. iExplain why T=x2+94+6-x5 iiFind the value of x which will enable him to complete the trip in the minimum tme.

Find the volume of the solid formed when the area bounded by y=4-x, y=0 and the y-axis is rotated around the x-axis.
A Year 12 Biology student tested to see how much bacteria was present in a variety of food samples left in the classroom. It is known that after t hours the number of bacteria (N) present in a particular type of food is given by the formula N=Noekt i) If initially there were 20 000 bacteria present and after three hours there were 45 000 bacteria present, calculate the value of k (correct to 2 decimal places). ii) How long would it take for the initial number of bacteria to triple in quantity? iii) What will be the rate of increase of the bacteria after 412hours?
Express 66-5 in the form of a+bc where a,b,c are integers
The diagram above was sketched by a surveyor, who measured the angle of elevation of the top of a tree on the other side of a river to be 7°12' from point A. From point B, 100 metres directly towards the tree from A, the angle of elevation of the top of the same tree was 9942'. i)Show that the height of the tree can be expressed in the form h=100sin7°12'sin9°42'sin2°30' ii)Calculate the height of the tree correct to three significant figures.
