for question 3, C:

(i)

biscally, u just need to use the COSINE RULE to find the disance of R from Q:

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc(cos A)

Answer is: 26.14km

(ii)

answer is : 290

errr...3 b i) RQ = 19.17m
ii) bearing = 282.36º

(NOTE: those were rough/quick re-estimates, they could be wrong...)

N/A
9(a)(i)

limiting sum
= a/(1-r)
= 1/(1+tan²x)
= 1/sec²x (since 1 +tan²x = sec²x)
= cos²x

9(a)(ii) limiting sum exists for -pi/4 < theta < pi/4

limiting sum exists when |r| < 1
r = - tan ² x

- tan ² x < 1
tan x > - 1
x > - pi/4

tan ² x < 1
tan x < 1
x < pi/4

.'. - pi/4 < x < pi/4
