y = x+q,
where p and q are constants.
The curve and the straight line intersect at the points A and B , whose x coordinates
are 1 and 4 , respectively.

Question 250
(****+)
The volume, V cm3 , of a soap bubble is modelled by the formula
2
V = ( p − qt ) , t ≥ 0 ,
where p and q are positive constants, and t is the time in seconds, measured after a
certain instant.
When t = 1 the volume of a soap bubble is 9 cm3 and at that instant its volume is
decreasing at the rate of 6 cm3 per second.
Determine the value of p and the value of q .

O
The figure above shows the graph of the curve with equation y = 36 − 4 x − x 2 and its
reflection about the straight line with equation y = x .
a) Write down the equation of the curve which is the reflection of the curve with
equation y = 36 − 4 x − x 2 about the straight line with equation y = x .
b) Determine an exact value for the area of the finite region bounded by the curve
with equation y = 36 − 4 x − x 2 , its reflection about the straight line with
equation y = x , and the positive x and y axes.
This region is shown shaded in the figure above.
