Solution

This is a Grade 12 mathematics test covering various topics, divided into three main questions with a total of 50 marks. Here’s a breakdown of each question:

Question 1: Functions (11 marks)

  • 1.1: Determine the values of aa and bb for the functions f(x)=bx2f(x) = bx^2 and g(x)=axg(x) = ax.
  • 1.2: Suggest a restriction for f(x)f(x) so its inverse will be a function.
  • 1.3: Find the equation for the inverse of ff.
  • 1.4: Write the inverse of gg as g1(x)=g^{-1}(x) = \ldots.
  • 1.5: Describe the transformation from g(x)g(x) to h(x)=g(x2)+3h(x) = g(x - 2) + 3 and provide the equation for h(x)h(x).

Question 2: Trigonometry (29 marks)

  • 2.1: Complete trigonometric expressions (cosine and sine).
  • 2.2: Express trigonometric terms in terms of tt, given cos(48)=t\cos(48^\circ) = t.
  • 2.3: Prove a trigonometric identity.
  • 2.4: Calculate a trigonometric expression without using a calculator.
  • 2.5: Find the general solution for xx in a trigonometric equation.
  • 2.6: Given sinA=1213\sin A = \frac{12}{13} and AA is within a certain range, determine cos(2A)\cos(2A) using a diagram.

Question 3: Geometry and Tangents (10 marks)

  • 3.1: Prove that PTSSPQ\triangle PTS \sim \triangle SPQ with reasons.
  • 3.2: Show that PTSSP=PTS \cdot SP = \ldots.
  • 3.3: Prove that RTRQR=PRRSRTR \cdot QR = PR \cdot RS.

If you need detailed solutions or explanations for any specific part, please let me know!


Further Questions for Practice:

  1. How would you find the inverse of a quadratic function?
  2. What transformations occur when modifying the input and output of a function, such as g(x2)+3g(x - 2) + 3?
  3. What is the general solution approach for trigonometric equations?
  4. How do you prove similarity between triangles in geometry?
  5. How can you calculate angles without a calculator using trigonometric identities?

Tip: When working with trigonometric identities, it helps to remember key identities, like sin2x+cos2x=1\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1, to simplify complex expressions.
