1a Given the functions y 1 (^) ( ) t = 20 e −^300 t and y 2 (^) ( ) t = 12(1 − e −^300 t )where t is time.
State the initial and final values of y 1 and y 2. Evaluate y 2 (0.006 ) and determine the time t when y 1 (^) ( ) t = y 2 (^) ( ) t (6 Marks)
1b State the amplitude, period and frequency of the waveforms v 1 and v 2 below.
State the phase time of v 2 and calculate the phase angle. Hence determine expressions for v 1 and v 2 Determine v 2 when t = 0.004, using (i) the expression above and (ii) the graph below

Q4b A rectangular sheet of metal having dimensions 16cm by 6cm has squares of side x cm removed from each of the four corners and the sides bent upwards to form an open box. Show that the volume of the box is given by V = 4 x^3^ − 44 x^2 + 96 x. Determine the maximum possible volume of the box. (10 Marks)
