Answer both parts A and B.

A INVESTIGATION (QUESTIONS 1 to 6)

CROSSING POINTS (20 marks)

You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part.

This investigation is about how many times lines cross when you join two rows of dots.

Dots are arranged along two parallel lines, A and B.

Straight lines join each dot on A to each dot on B.
A crossing point is where exactly two straight lines cross.

Example
When there are 2 dots on A and 4 dots on B there are 6 crossing points.

2 dots A

4 dots B

You must complete all diagrams accurately using a ruler and a sharp pencil.

1 When there is 1 dot on A and 1 dot on B, there is no crossing point.

(a) Each of these diagrams has 1 dot on A.

Complete the diagrams by joining the dot on A to each dot on B.

A A

B B

(b) The number of dots on B is b.

The number of crossing points is p.
Complete this statement.

When there is 1 dot on A and b dots on B, then the value of p is .......................... .

B MODELLING (QUESTIONS 7 to 11)

VALUE OF A CAR (20 marks)

You are advised to spend no more than 45 minutes on this part.

This task is about how the value of a car changes with time.

The value of any car changes continuously.

7 Anna says that this is a model for the value of a car as it gets older.

At the end of each year, the value of the car will be

half of its value at the start of the year.

Eddie pays $16 000 for a new car.

(a) Use Anna’s model to complete the table.

Age of car (x years) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Value (V dollars) 16 000 8000

(c) Complete this model for V in terms of x.

8 John’s Cars model the value of a car in this way.

Each year, the value of the car decreases

by a percentage of its value when it was new.

The table shows the value of the car as a percentage of its value when it is new.

Age of car (x years) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
