An offer to buy the Westmall shopping centre was made by a competitor.

One market research project suggested that if the Westmall shopping centre were sold, each of the three centres (Westmall, Grandmall and Eastmall) would continue to have regular shoppers but would attract and lose shoppers on a weekly basis.

Let  `S_n`  be the state matrix that shows the expected number of shoppers at each of the three centres  `n`  weeks after Westmall is sold.

A matrix recurrence relation that generates values of  `S_n`  is

`S_(n+1) = T xx S_n`

`{:(quad qquad qquad qquad qquad qquad qquad qquad text(this week)),(qquad qquad qquad qquad qquad qquad quad \ W qquad quad G qquad quad \ E),(text(where)\ T = [(quad 0.80, 0.09, 0.10),(quad 0.12, 0.79, 0.10),(quad 0.08, 0.12, 0.80)]{:(W),(G),(E):}\ text(next week,) qquad qquad  S_0 = [(250\ 000), (230\ 000), (200\ 000)]{:(W),(G),(E):}):}`

Vectors, SPEC2 2020 VCAA 1

A particle moves in the  `x\ – y`  plane such that its position in terms of `x` and `y` metres at `t` seconds is given by the parametric equations

`x = 2sin(2t)`

`y = 3cos(t)`

where `t >= 0`

  1. Find the distance, in metres, of the particle from the origin when  `t = pi/6`.  (2 marks)
  2.   i. Express  `(dy)/(dx)`  in terms of `t` and, hence, find the equation of the tangent to the path of the particle at  `t = pi`  seconds.  (3 marks)
  3.  ii. Find the velocity, `underset ~ v`, in `text(ms)^(−1)`, of the particle when  `t = pi`.  (2 marks)
  4. iii. Find the magnitude of the acceleration, in `text(ms)^(−2)`, when  `t = pi`.  (2 marks)
  5. Find the time, in seconds, when the particle first passes through the origin.  (1 mark)
  6. Express the distance, `d` metres, travelled by the particle from  `t = 0`  to  `t = pi/6`  as a definite integral and find this distance correct to three decimal places.  (2 marks)
