We read your photo as:
A sector of angle 120° is removed from a thin circular metal sheet of radius 14cm. The remaining net is folded to form a right circular cone. Calculate and correct to three significant figures: (i) the curved outer surface; (ii) the height of the cone; (iii) the volume of the cone.

Part b· 3 steps
To draw the graph of the relation
Set up the axes according to the given scale.
- On the x-axis: 2cm represents 2 units (meaning 1cm = 1 unit).
- On the y-axis: 2cm represents 5 units (meaning 1cm = 2.5 units).
Plot the points from the completed table.
Plot the coordinates: , , , , , , , , , , .
Draw a smooth curve.
Connect the plotted points with a smooth, continuous curve to form a parabola.
Part c(i)-25
The least value of the relation .
Use your graph to find
The least value of a parabola occurs at its vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is .
For , and .
From the table, when , . This is the lowest point on the graph.
The least value of the relation is .
Part c(ii)
The equation of the axis of symmetry.
The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex of the parabola. Its equation is .
From the calculation in (i), the x-coordinate of the vertex is .
The equation of the axis of symmetry is .
Part c(iii)
The truth set of the equation .
To find the truth set using the graph of , we can rewrite the equation as .
This means , or .
On your graph, draw a horizontal line at . The truth set consists of the x-coordinates where this line intersects the parabola .
Reading from the graph, the approximate points of intersection are:
and .
(For verification, using the quadratic formula .
.
.)
The truth set is approximately .
