December 2012 Maths HL Holiday Pack This pack contains 4 past papers from May 2011 in the following order: Paper 1.2 Paper 1 from TZ2 Paper 2.2 Paper 2 from TZ2 Paper 1.1 Paper 1 from TZ1 Paper 2.1 Paper 2 from TZ1 There are two ways I would recommend for you to use this pack 1. 2 papers for revision, 2 papers in exam conditions. Use the first 2 papers from TZ2 as revision questions. Use your notes as and when you need them. I would assume that getting through these would take you a fair bit of time. Once you have done these, do paper 1 and 2 from TZ1 in exam conditions. Complete each one in 2 hours, with an e copy of the data book on your computer in front of you. When you are finished with these, staple your answer sheets and put them to one side (I will mark them if you wish, or you can mark them using the answers I will send you). I would then urge you to revisit questions you felt like you could not do in the 2 hours time frame, and do them using the help of your notes. 2. 4 papers in exam conditions Use old past papers and ppqs I have given you (the 111 questions from the summer may be handy if you have not finished them already) and any other resources you have to revise, then do all 4 papers in timed conditions. Only do this if you feel you have done plenty of revision before attempting your first timed past paper. Again, revisit any questions you cannot do, and use the data book for both papers. I will not be sending out solutions till much later in the holiday. I know that using the solutions is often useful, and sometimes it may seem that you think you re just using them to check something, when in fact you re limiting your thinking time. If it takes twice as long to crack a question without a mark scheme, it is time well spent! So don t wait for me to send solutions, get cracking on these straight away. Life would be boring if you didn t fail before your successes Hirani, 2012

(5) (c) Given a such that the three planes do not meet at a point, find the value of k such that the planes meet in one line and find an equation of this line in the form x x y = y z z 0 0 0 l + λ m. n (6) (Total 14 marks) 30

12. A student arrives at a school X minutes after 08:00, where X may be assumed to be normally distributed. On a particular day it is observed that 40 % of the students arrive before 08:30 and 90 % arrive before 08:55. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation of X. (5) (b) The school has 1200 students and classes start at 09:00. Estimate the number of students who will be late on that day. (c) Maelis had not arrived by 08:30. Find the probability that she arrived late. At 15:00 it is the end of the school day, and it is assumed that the departure of the students from school can be modelled by a Poisson distribution. On average, 24 students leave the school every minute. (d) Find the probability that at least 700 students leave school before 15:30. (e) There are 200 days in a school year. Given that Y denotes the number of days in the year that at least 700 students leave before 15:30, find (i) E(Y); (ii) P(Y > 150). (4) (Total 17 marks) 31

cosθ sinθ 13. (a) Given that A =, show that A 2 cos 2θ sin 2θ = sinθ cosθ. sin 2θ cos 2θ (b) Prove by induction that A n cos nθ = sin nθ sin nθ, for all n cos nθ +. (7) (c) Given that A 1 is the inverse of matrix A, show that the result in part (b) is true where n = 1. (Total 13 marks) 14. An open glass is created by rotating the curve y = x 2, defined in the domain x [0, 10], 2π radians about the y-axis. Units on the coordinate axes are defined to be in centimetres. (a) When the glass contains water to a height h cm, find the volume V of water in terms of h. (b) If the water in the glass evaporates at the rate of 3 cm 3 per hour for each cm 2 of exposed surface area of the water, show that, dv dt = 3 2πV, where t is measured in hours. (6) (c) If the glass is filled completely, how long will it take for all the water to evaporate? (7) (Total 16 marks) 32
