1. 1.

023t = 2 (M1)
ln 2
t= (M1)(A1)
ln 1.023
= 30.48...
30 minutes (nearest minute) (A1) (C4)
Note: Do not accept 31 minutes.
[4]

2. (a) C has equation x = 2y (A1)


ie y = log2 x (A1) (C2)
OR Equation of B is x = log2y (A1)
Therefore equation of C is y = log2 x (A1) (C2)

(b) Cuts x-axis  log2 x = 0


x = 2° (A1)
x=1
Point is (1, 0) (A1) (C2)

3. (a) At t = 2, N = 10e0.4(2) (M1)


N = 22.3 (3 sf)
Number of leopards = 22 (A1)

(b) If N = 100, then solve 100 = 100e0.4t


10 = e04t
ln 10 = 0.4t
ln 10
t= ~ 5.76 years (3 sf) (A1)

4. (a) Value = 1500(1.0525)3 (M1)


= 1748.87 (A1)
= 1749 (nearest franc) (A1) 3

(b) 3000 = 1500(1.0525)t  2 = 1.0525t (M1)


log 2
t= = 13.546 (A1)
log 1.0525
It takes 14 years. (A1) 3

IB Questionbank Maths SL 1
(c) 3000 = 1500(1 +r)10 or 2(1 +r)10 (M1)
 10 2 = 1 + r or log 2 = 10 log (1 + r) (M1)
log 2
 r = 10 2 – 1 or r = 10 10 –1 (A1)
r = 0.0718 [or 7.18%] (A1) 4
