Solution:

1. Suppose \begin{align*} && \begin{pmatrix} x_2 \\ y_2 \end{pmatrix} &= \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ y_1 \end{pmatrix} \\ \Rightarrow && \binom{x_1}{y_1} &= \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{pmatrix} \binom{x_2}{y_2} \end{align*} Therefore if \(\frac{x_1^2}9+\frac{y_1^2}{4} = 1\) we must have \begin{align*} \frac{(\frac{x_2}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{y_2}{\sqrt{2}})^2 }{9} + \frac{(-\frac{x_2}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{y_2}{\sqrt{2}})^2}{4} = 1 \end{align*} but this is precisely the statement that \((x_1, y_1)\) is on \(G_1\) is equivalent to \((x_2,y_2)\) being on the \(G_2\). Since the point \((x_2,y_2)\) is a \(45^{\circ}\) rotation of \((x_1,y_1)\) anticlockwise about the origin, this means \(G_2\) is a \(45^{\circ}\) anticlockwise rotation of \(G_1\).
2. 1. \begin{align*} && \begin{pmatrix} -0.6 & 0.8 \\ 0.8 & 0.6 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} &= \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} \\ \Rightarrow && \begin{pmatrix} -0.6 x + 0.8y \\ 0.8x + 0.6y \end{pmatrix} &= \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} \\ \Rightarrow && \begin{pmatrix} -1.6 x + 0.8y \\ 0.8x -0.4y \end{pmatrix} &= \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \\ \Rightarrow && y &=2 x \end{align*}

3. Consider the transformation \(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\) which is a shear, leaving the \(x\)-axis invariant. Then we must have:
   

   + - ↺
   Since the shear leaves lines of the form \(y = k\) invariant, the points where \(\frac{\d y}{\d x} = 0\) must also map to points where this is true, ie \((\tfrac{\pi}{2}, 1), (\tfrac{3\pi}{2}, -1)\) map to points \((\tfrac{\pi}{2}+2,1), (\tfrac{3\pi}{2} -2,-1)\) where the tangent is horizontal. The line \(x = c\) map back to lines \(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -2 \\ 0 & 1\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} c \\ t\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}c - 2t \\ t \end{pmatrix}\), ie \(y = -\frac12 x- \frac{c}{2}\). Therefore we are interested in points on the original curve where the gradient is \(-\frac12\), ie \((\frac{2\pi}{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}), (\frac{4\pi}{3}, -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})\), these map to \((\frac{2\pi}{3}+\sqrt{3},\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}), (\frac{4\pi}{3}-\sqrt{3}, -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})\)

Solution:

1. \(\,\) \begin{align*} && \dot{x} &=12 \cos^2 t \sin t \\ && \dot{y} &= 12 \cos t - 12 \sin^2 t \cos t \\ && \frac{\d y}{\d x} &= \frac{12 \cos t - 12 \sin^2 t \cos t}{12 \cos^2 t \sin t} \\ &&&= \frac{1 - \sin^2 t}{\cos t \sin t} \\ &&&= \cot t \\ \\ && \frac{y - (12\sin\phi - 4\sin^3\phi)}{x - (-4 \cos^3 \phi)} &= - \tan \phi \\ && y &= -\tan \phi x -4 \cos^3 \phi \tan \phi + 12 \sin \phi -4\sin^3 \phi \\ &&&= -\tan \phi x -4 \cos^2 \phi \sin \phi + 12 \sin \phi -4\sin^3 \phi \\ &&&= -\tan \phi x - 4\sin \phi+12 \sin \phi \\ &&y&= -\tan \phi x + 8 \sin \phi \end{align*} Note that when \(x = 8\cos^3 \phi\) we have \(y =-8 \cos^2 \phi \sin \phi + 8 \sin \phi = 8 \sin^3 \phi\). So the point lies on the curve. Notice also that \((8\cos^3 \phi, 8 \sin^ 3\phi)\) is a parametrisation of \(x^{2/3} + y^{2/3} = 4\) and so we can use parametric differentiation to see the gradient is \(\frac{24\sin^2 \phi \cos \phi}{-24\cos^2 \phi\sin\phi} = - \tan \phi\) so it also has the same gradient as required.

2. \(\,\) \begin{align*} && \dot{x} &= -\sin t + \sin t + t \cos t \\ &&&= t \cos t \\ && \dot{y} &= \cos t - \cos t + t \sin t \\ &&&= t \sin t \\ && \frac{\d y}{\d x} &= \frac{t \sin t}{t \cos t} = \tan t \\ \\ && \frac{y - (\sin \phi - \phi \cos \phi)}{x - (\cos \phi + \phi \sin \phi)} &= -\cot \phi \\ \Rightarrow && y &= -\cot \phi x + (\cos \phi + \phi \sin \phi) \cot \phi + \sin \phi - \phi \cos \phi \\ &&&= -\cot \phi x + \cos \phi \cot \phi + \phi \cos \phi + \sin \phi - \phi \cos \phi \\ &&&= -\cot \phi x + \frac{\cos^2 \phi + \sin^2 \phi}{\sin \phi} \\ &&&= -\cot \phi x + \cosec \phi \end{align*} The distance to the origin is \(\displaystyle \frac{|\cosec \phi|}{\sqrt{1 + \cot^2 \phi}} = 1\) so this normal is a tangent to \(x^2 + y^2 = 1\)

This is an interesting question because many years ago this question of finding involutes and envelopes of questions would be considered extremely standard. (Particularing finding the involute of a circle). (It also seems to make sense mechanically imagine unwinding (or winding) a piece of string from a circle!)

Solution:

Notice the total area is \(xf(x)\) and it is made up of the sum of the two integrals.

1. Suppose \((g(t))^3 + g(t) = t\). Notice that \((g(0))^3 + g(0) =0 \Rightarrow g(0)((g(0))^2 + 1) = 0 \Rightarrow g(0) = 0\). \begin{align*} && t &= (g(t))^3 + g(t) \\ \Rightarrow && 1 &= 3(g(t))^2 g'(t) + g'(t) \\ \Rightarrow && g'(t) &= \frac{1}{1 + 3(g(t))^2} > 0 \end{align*}

   From our sketch, we can see we are interested in: \begin{align*} && \int_0^2 g(t) \d t &= 2 - \int_0^1 (x^3 + x) \d x \\ &&&= 2 - \frac14 - \frac12 = \frac54 \end{align*}
2. \(\,\)

   From our second sketch, we can see that: \begin{align*} && \int_0^8 h(t) \d t &= 16 - \int_1^2 (x^3+x-2) \d x \\ &&&= 16 - \left ( \frac{8}{4} + \frac{2^2}{2} - 2 \cdot 2 \right)+ \left ( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} - 2 \right) \\ &&&= \frac{59}{4} \end{align*}

Solution:

Clearly the distance \(PS\) is \(s - x\), so it remains to determine the heigh \(PQ\). Notice that \(\tan \beta = \frac{PQ}{OP}\) so the height is \(x \tan \beta\) and the area is \(x(s-x)\tan \beta \) Notice that \(R\) has a \(y\)-coordinate of \(x \tan \beta\), but is a distance \(a\) from the origin, so \(s^2 + x^2 \tan^2 \beta = a^2 \Rightarrow s = \sqrt{a^2-x^2 \tan^2 \beta}\) \begin{align*} && \frac{\d A}{\d x} &= (s-x)\tan \beta + x \left (\frac{\d s}{\d x} - 1 \right) \tan \beta \\ &&&= (s-x) \tan \beta + \left (\tfrac12(a^2-x^2\tan^2 \beta)^{-1/2} \cdot (-2x \tan^2 \beta) - 1\right) x \tan \beta \\ &&&= (s-x) \tan \beta + \left ( \frac{-x \tan^2 \beta}{s} -1\right)x \tan \beta \\ &&&= (s-2x) \tan \beta - \frac{x^2}{s}\tan^3\beta \\ \\ \frac{\d A}{\d x} = 0: && 0 &= s(s-2x)-x^2 \tan^2 \beta \\ &&&= s^2-(2x)s-x^2\tan^2 \beta \\ &&&= (s-x)^2-(1+\tan^2\beta)x^2 \\ \Rightarrow && s &= x + x \sec \beta \\ &&&= (1+\sec \beta)x \\ \\ && a^2 &= x^2(1+\sec\beta)^2 + x^2 \tan^2 \beta \\ &&&= x^2(2\sec \beta +2\sec^2 \beta ) \\ &&&= 2x^2 \sec \beta(1+\sec \beta) \\ \\ && A &= x^2\sec \beta \tan \beta \\ &&&= \frac12 a^2 \frac{\sec \beta \tan \beta}{\sec \beta(1+\sec \beta)} \\ &&&= \frac12 a^2 \frac{\tan \beta}{1+\sec \beta} = \frac12 a^2 \tan \frac{\beta}{2}\\ \end{align*} This occurs when \begin{align*} && \frac{RS}{SO} &= \frac{x \tan \beta}{s} \\ &&&= \frac{\tan \beta}{1+\sec \beta} = \tan \frac{\beta}2 \\ \Rightarrow&& \angle ROS &= \frac{\beta}2 \end{align*}

   Note that we have a right angled triangle, with the sides in a ratio of \(m\). So if our target length is \(x\) we have \(x^2 + (mx)^2 = c^2\) and so \(x = c(m^2+1)^{-\frac12}\)
2. The distance from the origin to \(L\) is \(a = c(m^2+1)^{-\frac12}\) so \begin{align*} && a^2(m^2+1) &= c^2 \\ && \frac{c-y(x)}{0-x} &= y' \\ \Rightarrow && c-y &= -xy' \\ \Rightarrow && a^2((y')^2+1) &= (y-xy')^2 \\ \\ && 2a^2y'y'' &= 2(y-xy')(y'-xy''-y') \\ &&&= 2(xy'-y)xy'' \\ \Rightarrow && y'' &= 0 \\ \text{ or } && 2a^2y' &= 2(xy'-y)x \end{align*} If \(y'' = 0\) then \(y = mx + c\) and the result follows immediately. \begin{align*} && 0 &= (a^2-x^2)y' + yx \\ \Rightarrow &&\frac1{y} y' &= -\frac{x}{a^2-x^2} \\ \Rightarrow && \ln y &= \frac12\ln (a^2-x^2) + K \\ \Rightarrow && y^2 &= M(a^2-x^2) \\ \Rightarrow && x^2 + y^2 &= a^2 \end{align*} Where in the last step we know the tangents from an ellipse are not all equidistant to the origin.

Solution: \begin{align*} && y^3 &= x^3 + a^3 + b^3 \\ \Rightarrow && 3y^2 \frac{\d y}{\d x} &= 3x^2 \\ \Rightarrow && \frac{\d y}{\d x} &= \frac{x^2}{y^2} \end{align*} Therefore the tangent at the point \((-a,b)\) has gradient \(\frac{a^2}{b^2}\), ie \begin{align*} && \frac{y-b}{x+a} &= \frac{a^2}{b^2} \\ \Rightarrow && b^2y - b^3 &= a^2 x + a^3 \\ \Rightarrow && b^2 y-a^2 x &= a^3 + b^3 \end{align*} Notice that tangent will be, \(4y-x = 9\) so substituting this we obtain: \begin{align*} && \left (\frac{9+x}{4} \right)^3 &= x^3 + 9 \\ \Rightarrow && 9^3 + 3 \cdot 9^2 x + 3 \cdot 9x^2 + x^3 &= 64x^3 + 64 \cdot 9 \\ \Rightarrow && 9 \cdot (9^2 - 8^2) + 9 \cdot (3 \cdot 9) + 9 \cdot 3x^2 -9 \cdot 7x^3 &= 0 \\ \Rightarrow && 7x^3-3x^2-27x-17 &= 0 \\ \Rightarrow && (x+1)^2(7x-17) &= 0 \tag{repeated root since tangent} \end{align*} So we have another point on the curve \(y^3 = x^3 + 2^3 + 1^3\), namely \((\frac{17}7, \frac{17+9 \cdot 7}{28}) = (\frac{17}7, \frac{20}{7})\), so \begin{align*} 20^3 &= 17^3 + 14^3 + 7^3 \end{align*}

Solution:

1. Given \(A\) is fixed, and \(h^2 + r^2 = \ell^2\), we can look at \begin{align*} && V^2 &= \frac19 \pi^2 r^4 h^2 \\ &&&= \frac19\pi^2r^4(\ell^2 - r^2) \\ &&&= \frac19\pi^2 r^4\left (\frac{A^2}{\pi^2r^2} - r^2 \right) \\ &&&= \frac{A^2r^2 - \pi^2r^6}{9} \end{align*} Differentiating wrt to \(r\) we find that \(2rA^2-6\pi^2 r^5 = 0\) or hence \(A^2 = 3\pi^2 r^4 \Rightarrow A = \sqrt{3}\pi r^2\). Therefore \(\sqrt{3}\pi r^2 = \pi r \ell \Rightarrow \ell = \sqrt{3}r\).
2. Supposing \(V\) is fixed, then \begin{align*} && A^2 &= \pi^2 r^2\ell^2 \\ &&&= \pi^2 r^2 (h^2+r^2) \\ &&&= \pi^2 r^2 \left ( \frac{9V^2}{\pi^2r^4} + r^2 \right) \\ &&&= 9V^2r^{-2} + \pi^2r^4 \\ \end{align*} Differentiating wrt to \(r\) we find \(-18V^2r^{-3} + 4\pi^2 r^3 = 0\) so \(V^2 = \frac{2\pi^2}{9}r^6\) or \(V = \frac{\sqrt{2}\pi}{3}r^3\), from which it follows: \(\frac{\sqrt{2}\pi}{3}r^3 = \frac13\pi r^2 h \Rightarrow h = \sqrt{2}r\)

Solution:

1. \(\,\) \begin{align*} && 0 &= (y')^2 -xy'+y\\ \Rightarrow && 0 &= 2y' y'' -y' - xy'' + y' \\ &&&= 2y'y'' - xy'' \\ &&&= y'' (2y'-x) \end{align*} Therefore \(y'' = 0 \Rightarrow y = mx + c\) or \(y' = \frac12 x \Rightarrow x = \frac14x^2 + C\). Plugging these into the original equation we have \(m^2 - xm+mx+c = 0 \Rightarrow c = -m^2\) \(\frac14 x^2 - \frac12 x^2 + \frac14x^2 + C = 0 \Rightarrow C = 0\). Therefore \(4y = x^2\)
2. \begin{align*} && 0 &= (x^2-1)(y')^2 -2xyy'+y^2-1 \\ \Rightarrow && 0 &= 2x(y')^2 +(x^2-1)2y'y'' - 2yy' - 2x(y')^2-2xyy''+2yy' \\ &&&= (x^2-1)2y'y'' -2xyy'' \\ &&&= 2y'' ((x^2-1)y'-xy) \end{align*} Therefore \(y'' = 0\) so \(y = mx + c\) or \begin{align*} && \frac{\d y}{\d x} &= \frac{xy}{x^2-1} \\ \Rightarrow && \int \frac1y \d y &= \int \frac{x}{x^2-1} \d x \\ \Rightarrow && \ln |y| &= \frac12 \ln |x^2-1| + C \\ \Rightarrow && y^2 &= A(x^2-1) \end{align*} Suppose \(y = mx+c\) then we must have \((x^2-1)m^2-2xm(mx+c)+(mx+c)^2 = -m^2+c^2 \Rightarrow c^2 = m^2\) If \(y^2 = A(x^2-1)\) then \(2yy' = 2xA\) and \begin{align*} && 0 &= \frac{y^2}{A}\left ( \frac{xA}{y} \right)^2 - 2x^2A+A(x^2-1)-1 \\ &&&= x^2A-2x^2A+x^2A-A-1 \\ \Rightarrow && A &= -1 \end{align*} Therefore \(x^2 + y^2 = 1\)
