Introduction

This booklet is designed as a companion to Maths Quest 12 Specialist Mathematics Fourth Edition.

It contains worked examples from the student text that have been re-worked using the TI-Nspire CXCAS calculator with Operating System v3.

The content of this booklet will be updated online as new operating systems are released by Texas

Instruments.

The companion is designed to assist students and teachers in making decisions about the judicious use of

CAS technology in answering mathematical questions.

The calculator companion booklet is also available as a PDF file on the eBookPLUS under the

preliminary section of Maths Quest 12 Specialist Mathematics Fourth Edition.

To find the displacement at anytime t , first find the velocity by

antidifferentiating  a with respect

to t , using a CAS calculator by

completing the following steps.

To do this, on a Calculator page,

3 Using the CAS calculator solve the

equation for t .

Complete the entry line as:

solve(0 = 24.5 − 9.8 × t ,t )

then press ENTER·.

4 State the solution. Solving 0 = 24.5 − 9.8 × t  for t  gives t  = 2.5.

Therefore, the ball takes 2.5 seconds to reach its

maximum height.

Both a and s are negative as their

direction is downwards.

Given: u = 0

a = −9.8

s = −(30.625 + 16)

5 Write the solution. Solving −46.625 = 0 × (t ) +1

2 × (−9.8) × t 2 for t  

gives t  = 3.085.

Therefore, it takes approximately 3.085 seconds

for the ball to fall to the ground from its maximum

height.

d 1 Add the time travelling up to the

time travelling down.

3 Using the CAS calculator to solve

the equation for v, complete the entry

line as:

solve(v2 = 02 + 2 × −9.8 × −30.625, v)

Then press ENTER·.

4 Write the solution. Solving v2 = 02 + 2 × −9.8 × −30.625 for v gives

v = −24.5 or v = 24.5.

Since the object is travelling downward, v = −24.5.

Therefore, the speed of the ball when it returns to

the level of the platform is 24.5 m/s.

Complete the entry line as:

solve(v2 = 02 + 2 × −9.8 × −46.625, v)

then press ENTER·.

4 Write the solution. Solving v2 = 02 + 2 × −9.8 × −46.625 for v gives

v = −30.23 or v = 30.23.

Therefore, the ball hits the ground with an

approximate speed of 30.23 m/s.

brake (this is actually a static friction force)  F
