1. Figure 1 shows a sector AOB of a circle with centre O and radius r cm.
   The angle AOB is 1.25 radians.
   Given that the area of the sector AOB is 15 cm²
   (a) find the exact value of r,
   (b) find the exact length of the perimeter of the sector. Write your answer in simplest form
2. A tree was planted in the ground.
   Exactly 2 years after it was planted, the height of the tree was 1.85 m.
   Exactly 7 years after it was planted, the height of the tree was 3.45 m.
   Given that the height, H metres, of the tree, t years after it was planted in the ground, can be modelled by the equation
   H = at + b
   where a and b are constants,
   (a) find the value of a and the value of b.
   (b) State, according to the model, the height of the tree when it was planted.
3. Figure 2 shows a sketch of the curve C with equation y = x² – 5x + 13
   The point M is the minimum point of C.
   The straight line l passes through the origin O and intersects C at the points M and N as shown.
