(a)Answer:sin 68° = 2m
sin 68° = 2 sin 34° cos 34° = 2m
(b)Answer:cos 22° = 2m
cos 22° = cos(90° − 68°) = sin 68° = 2m
(c)Answer:cos 136° = 1 − 8m^2
cos 136° = 1 − 2sin^2 68°
= 1 − 2(2m)^2 = 1 − 8m^2
(d)Answer:cos 68° = √(1 − 4m^2)
cos^2 68° = 1 − sin^2 68° = 1 − 4m^2
68° is acute, so cos 68° > 0
cos 68° = √(1 − 4m^2)

(a)Answer: See the proof below.
Given: Circle with centre O. AB is at the centre and AB at the circumference, both on arc AB.
To prove: AB = 2 × AB
Construction: Join PO and produce it to S.
Let AO = x and BO = y
OA = OP (radii)
∴ OP = x (∠s opp equal sides)
∴ AS = 2x (ext ∠ of Δ)
Similarly BS = 2y
∴ AB = 2x + 2y = 2(x + y)
∴ AB = 2 × AB
(b)Answer:AB = 100°
AB = 100° (∠ at centre = 2 × ∠ at circumference)
(c)Answer:OB = 40°
OA = OB (radii)
OB = OA (∠s opp equal sides)
OB = 40° (sum ∠s of Δ)
(d)Answer:OA = 40°
OA = 40° (∠s opp equal sides)

(a)Answer:M(4; 4); r = √26
(x − 4)^2 + (y − 4)^2 = −6 + 16 + 16
(x − 4)^2 + (y − 4)^2 = 26
M(4; 4) and r = √(26) = √26
(b)Answer: See the working below.
(9)^2 + (3)^2 − 8(9) − 8(3) + 6 = 0
so P lies on the circle
(c)Answer:y = 5x − 42
m_MP = (3 − (4))/(9 − (4)) = −1/5
the tangent is perpendicular to the radius: m = 5
3 = (5)(9) + c, so c = −42
y = 5x − 42
(d)Answer:QT = 2√2 units
QM^2 = (1 − (4))^2 + (−1 − (4))^2 = 34
MT ⊥ QT (radius ⊥ tangent), so QT^2 = QM^2 − r^2
QT^2 = 34 − 26 = 8
QT = 2√2

(a)Answer: See the proof below.
Given: Circle with centre O. AB is a chord. OM ⊥ AB.
To prove: AM = MB
Construction: Join OA and OB.
In ΔOMA and ΔOMB:
OA = OB (radii)
OM = OM (common)
OA = OB = 90° (given)
∴ ΔOMA ≡ ΔOMB (RHS)
∴ AM = MB (≡ Δs)
(b)Answer:OA = 90°
OA = 90° (line from centre ⊥ to chord)
(c)Answer:OB = 90°
OB = 90° (line from centre ⊥ to chord)
(d)Answer:AM = 80°
AM = 80° (sum ∠s of Δ)
Proving the theorem itself, not using it

(a)Answer: See the working below.
AB = 180° − (α + β) (sum ∠s of Δ)
AC/(sin β) = d/(sin(180° − (α + β))) (sine rule)
sin(180° − (α + β)) = sin(α + β)
AC = (d sin β)/(sin(α + β))
(b)Answer: See the working below.
In ΔACT, AT = 90°: tan γ = TC/AC
TC = AC tan γ = (d sin β tan γ)/(sin(α + β))
(c)Answer:TC = 107.85 m
TC = (150 sin 65° tan 38°)/(sin 100°)
= 107.85 m
(d)Answer:BT = 138.80 m
BC = (150 sin 35°)/(sin 100°) = 87.36 m (sine rule)
BT^2 = BC^2 + TC^2 = 87.36^2 + 107.85^2
BT = 138.80 m
(e)Answer: 50.99°
tan TC = TC/BC = 107.85/87.36
TC = 50.99°

(e)Answer: See the plot below.
the box from Q1 to Q3 with the median marked; whiskers to the minimum and maximum
(f)Answer: No: 28 ≤ 29.5
IQR = 23.5 − 19.5 = 4
Q3 + 1.5 × IQR = 23.5 + 6 = 29.5
28 ≤ 29.5
(g)Answer: The mean increases by 3; the standard deviation stays the same.
every value, and so their mean, moves by the same amount
the distances from the mean do not change

(a)Answer: (11; 25)
(11; 25) lies far from the trend of the other points
(b)Answer:y = 95.879 − 3.901x
A = 95.879
B = −3.901
(c)Answer:r = −1.00
r = −1.00
(d)Answer:y decreases by about 3.901
B = −3.901 is the change in y for each 1 added to x
(e)Answer: Weaker
with the outlier r = −0.92; without it r = −1.00
|r| is smaller with the outlier: it weakened the correlation

(a)Answer:M(1; 4)
the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other: M is the midpoint of AC
M = ((4 + −2)/2; (6 + 2)/2) = (1; 4)
(b)Answer:D(−1; 7)
M is also the midpoint of BD
D = (2(1) − (3); 2(4) − (1)) = (−1; 7)
(c)Answer:AB = √26 units
AB = √((4 − (3))^2 + (6 − (1))^2) = √(26)
= √26
(d)Answer: Yes: ABCD is a rectangle
m_AB × m_BC = (5)(−1/5) = −1
so AB ⊥ BC and the parallelogram has a right angle
