1 The gradient function of a curve y =(x) is given by

(x) =4x 5. The curve passes through the point (2, 3). Find
the equation of the curve.
Q.2 The graph has a horizontal point of inflexion at A, a
point of inflexion at B and a maximum turning point at C.

Q.3 The diagram shows a window consisting of two sections. The top section is a semicircle
of diameter x m. The bottom section is a rectangle of width x metres and height y metres.
The entire frame of the window, including the piece that separates the two
sections, is made using 10 m of thin metal.
The semicircular section is made of coloured glass and the rectangular
section is made of clear glass. Under test conditions the amount of light
coming through one square metre of the coloured glass is 1 unit and the
amount of light coming through one square metre of the clear glass is 3
units. The total amount of light coming through the window under test
conditions is L units.
