The times t1 and t2 satisfy the equation , where v is the initial upward velocity.

Therefore, = (t – t1)(t – t2), from which we read off . Plugging in the

numbers gives h = 10 m. Alternatively, notice that if the arrow is at the same height at time t1
= 1 s and t2 = 2 s, then it must have reached the top of its trajectory at time t = 1.5 s, so it was
launched with vertical velocity 15 m/s. In the first second, the average vertical velocity is

therefore = 10 m/s, giving h = 10 m.

2) The particle accelerates uniformly, then travels at a constant velocity for some time, then
decelerates uniformly down to resting. As a function of distance, then, the velocity must also
increase, then stay constant for some time, then decrease down to 0. Since velocity vs, time is
symmetric, velocity vs, distance must be symmetric as well; if the movie were played
backwards, its should look the same. When the particle is accelerating uniformly, its velocity is
proportional to t, while the distance is proportional to t2 (e.g. as in free fall): consequently,
velocity is proportional to the square root of distance.

52) A = 1000a + 100b + 10c + d

B = 10000a + 1000b + 100c + 10d + 3
C = 20000 + 1000a + 100b + 10c + d
Given B = 3C
⇒ 10000a + 1000b + 100c + 10d + 3
= 3(20000 + 1000a + 100b + 10c + d)
⇒ 7000a + 700b + 70c + 7d = 59997

∴ 1000a + 100b + 10c + d = = 8571

∴ A = 8571
⇒ = 85.71

53) Let P(x) = 6 + x, for x = 0, 1, 2, 3

Let f(x) = P(x) – x – 6
⇒ f(x) is also a polynomial of degree4.
⇒ f (x) = x(x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 3)
As f(x) vanishes at x = 0, 1, 2, 3, so
f(x) = P(x) – x – 6 ≡ (x – 0)(x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 3)
⇒ P(x) = x + 6 + x(x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 3)
Hence P(4) = 10 + (4 · 3 · 2 · 1) = 10 + 24 = 34

54) P(4) = 64k + 48 – 3 = 64k + 45

Q(4) = 128 – 20 + k = k + 108
Given P(4) = Q(4)
∴ 64k + 45 = k + 108
⇒ 63k = 63 ⇒ k = 1
