The Clyde Tunnel, which passes beneath the River Clyde in Glasgow, is 762 m long. 93 fire engines can fit end to end along its length.
Q. Find the length of one fire engine, in metres, giving your answer to one decimal place?
Here is a student’s attempt at a solution, with the correct numerical result:
762 = 762/93 = 8.2 = length
(a)With reference to good mathematical communication (GMC), describe three aspects of the student’s solution that could be improved. [6] (b) Write out your own solution to this question.

A mass weighing 8 pounds stretches a spring 1 foot. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 2 feet below the equilibrium position, and the subsequent motion takes place in a medium that offers a damping force that is numerically equal to 2 times the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion (solve the IVP) if the mass is driven by an external force equal to f(t) = 5 cos(2t).
Graph the solution. What part of the graph shows the transient behavior? What is the steady-state behavior?

Use a graphing utility to graph V(x) = x(12- 2x)2, which expresses the volume of a box, V, as a function of the length of the side of the square cut from each corner, x, of a sheet of square cardboard with a side length of 12 inches. Then use the trace button or maximum function feature to find the length of the side of the square that should be cut from each corner of the cardboard to create a box with the greatest possible volume. What is the maximum volume of the open box?

Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 1000 students. If it is assumed that the rate at which the virus spreads is proportional not only to the number x of infected students but also to the number of students not infected, and assume that no one leaves the campus throughout the duration of the disease, determine the number of infected students after 6 days if it is further observed that after 4 days x(4) = 50.
