Using a semi-circle of radius 6, estimate the area of the cross-section of the tunnel.

Given that the tunnel is to be 20 m in length estimate the volume of earth that will need to be removed in order to build the tunnel.

Write down the inequalities that define the region R shown in the diagram below.

An electronics company can produce  cables at a total cost of  pence.
The cables can then be sold for  pence each.

Find the minimum and maximum number of cables the company needs to sell in order to make a profit?

How many cables does the company need to sell to make the maximum profit?

A stone is projected vertically upwards from a height of  m.
It’s height, above it’s starting position, m, at time  seconds after launch, is given by

At the same time a second stone is projected upwards from a height of m.
It’s height, above its starting position, is given by

For how long are both stones simultaneously at least m above the ground?

A company produces chairs and tables in a day.  They sell every chair and every table they produce.  Due to the manufacturing processes involved the number of chairs and tables they can make in a day are limited by the following inequalities:

Briefly explain why the inequalities  and  are appropriate.

On the axes below show the region within which the company can produce  chairs and tables per day.

The company’s profit, , per day, is given by the formula .
Given that the maximum profit lies on a vertex of the region found in part (b), find the number of chairs and tables the company should make in order to maximise its daily profit.
