C3 Edexcel Core Mathematics June 2013 Question 6
Solving a natural log equation

  1. Find algebraically the exact solutions to the equations
    (a) ln(4 – 2x) + ln(9 – 3x) = 2ln(x + 1), –1 < x < 2
    (b) 2x e3x+1 = 10
    Give your answer to (b) in the form (a + ln b)/(c + ln d) where a, b, c and d are integers.

C3 Edexcel Core Mathematics June 2013 Question 8

  1. Kate crosses a road, of constant width 7 m, in order to take a photograph of a marathon runner, John, approaching at 3 m s–1.
    Kate is 24 m ahead of John when she starts to cross the road from the fixed point A. John passes her as she reaches the other side of the road at a variable point B, as shown in Figure 2.
    Kate’s speed is Vm s–1 and she moves in a straight line, which makes an angle θ, 0 < θ < 150°, with the edge of the road, as shown in Figure 2.

    You may assume that V is given by the formula

    (a) Express 24sin θ + 7cos θ in the form Rcos(θ – α ), where R and α are constants and where R > 0 and 0 < θ < 90°, giving the value of to 2 decimal places.
    Given that θ varies,
    (b) find the minimum value of V.

    Given that Kate’s speed has the value found in part (b),
    (c) find the distance AB.

    Given instead that Kate’s speed is 1.68 m s–1,
    (d) find the two possible values of the angle θ, given that 0 < θ < 150°.
