Introduction

Question:
Trigonometry can be used to solve problems instead of constructing a scale diagram.
A man leaves a point walking at 6kmh on a bearing of 80o. A cyclist leaves the same point at the same time on a bearing of 120o travelling at a speed of 17kmh. Calculate their distance apart after 4 hours using trigonometry. (6)
Answer:
Figure 01
As shown in the figure 01, let’s take ‘A’ as the starting point.
After 4hrs the man is at point M and cyclist at point C
Distance travelled by the man after 4hrs
Distance travelled by the cyclist after 4hrs
Now let’s consider the
triangle
Using the information in the question, the application of the Cosine rule would seem
Middle
cm
a) Using Excel verify this is true.
(2)
b) Add the appropriate trend line.
(1)
c) Display the equation of this trend line.
(1)
Answer:
(a).As you can see in the graph the given data of pressure Vs altitude shows an exponential variation.
(b).The appropriate trend line is shown in dotted lines on the graph.
(c). Trend line equation is given by

Question:
Probability can be used so that companies can decide on reasonable waiting times.
The waiting times for a bus are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.3 minutes. 80% of people waiting for a bus have to wait no more than 5 minutes. Calculate the mean average waiting time for one of these buses. (3)
Answer:
