Harry offers dog washing and dog clipping services.

Let `x` be the number of dogs washed in one day

`y` be the number of dogs clipped in one day.

It takes 20 minutes to wash a dog and 25 minutes to clip a dog.

There are 200 minutes available each day to wash and clip dogs.

This information can be written as Inequalities 1 to 3.

Inequality 1: `x ≥ 0`

A car of mass `m` is driven at speed `v` around a circular track of radius `r`. The track is banked at a constant angle `theta` to the horizontal, where `0 < theta < pi/2`. At the speed `v` there is a tendency for the car to slide up the track. This is opposed by a frictional force `mu N`, where `N` is the normal reaction between the car and the track, and `mu > 0`. The acceleration due to gravity is `g`.

Two particles are fired simultaneously from the ground at time `t = 0.`

Particle 1 is projected from the origin at an angle `theta, \ \ 0 < theta < pi/2`, with an initial velocity `V.`

Particle 2 is projected vertically upward from the point `A`, at a distance `a` to the right of the origin, also with an initial velocity of `V.`

It can be shown that while both particles are in flight, Particle 1 has equations of motion:

`x = Vt cos theta`

`y = Vt sin theta -1/2 g t^2,`

and Particle `2` has equations of motion:

`x = a`

`y = Vt -1/2 g t^2.` Do NOT prove these equations of motion.

Wind turbines, such as those shown, are used to generate power.

In theory, the power that could be generated by a wind turbine is modelled using the equation

`T = 20\ 000w^3`

where	`T` is the theoretical power generated, in watts
	`w` is the speed of the wind, in metres per second.

Using this equation, what is the theoretical power generated by a wind turbine if the wind speed is 7.3 m/s ? (1 mark)

--- 1 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

In practice, the actual power generated by a wind turbine is only 40% of the theoretical power.

A more accurate formula to calculate the power (`P`) generated by a wind turbine is

`P = 0.61 xx pi xx r^2 × w^3`

Each blade of a particular wind turbine has a length of 43 metres.The turbine operates at a wind speed of 8 m/s.

Using the formula above, if the wind speed increased by 10%, what would be the percentage increase in the power generated by this wind turbine? (3 marks)

Peter retires with a lump sum of $100 000. The money is invested in a fund which pays interest each month at a rate of 6% per annum, and Peter receives a fixed monthly payment `$M` from the fund. Thus the amount left in the fund after the first monthly payment is `$(100\ 500-M)`.

Find a formula for the amount, `$A_n`, left in the fund after `n\ ` monthly payments. (2 marks)
