2. (a ) log14 = log(2 × 7) = log 2 + log 7 = a + c

(b) log 24 = log(23 × 3) = log 23 + log 3 = 3log 2 + log 3 = 3a + b

3. Put x = 0 , y = 02 + 3(0) + 18 = 18,so C=(0,18)

Put y = 0, 0 = - x 2 + 3 x + 18 => x = −3 or x = 6
So A=(-3,0),B=(6,0)

4. (a ) f (−1) = (−1) 2 − 4(−1) + 8 = 13

(b) f (k ) = 13 ⇒ k 2 − 4k + 8 = 13 ⇒ k 2 − 4k − 5 = 0 ⇒ (k − 5)(k + 1) = 0 ⇒ k = 5 or − 1

3x + y = 27 = 33
6.  x − 2 y
3 = 1 = 30
 x + y = 3 − − − (1)

On solving (1) and (2) , x = 2, y = 1
7. (a ) h = -2t 2 + 8t + 1
h = -2(t 2 − 4t + 22 ) + 1 + 2(22 )
h = -2(t − 2)2 + 9
so at t = 2 seconds ,it will reach the maximum height

(b) By (a), its maximum height is 9 , so the bird will ot collide with it.

(c) When t=1, h=7.

When t=4, h=1.
So at the time interval 1 ≤ t ≤ 4, the minimum height is 1.

8. (a) ( y + x ) − 2 ( y + x )( x − y ) + ( x − y ) = 2 x − 2 x − y 2
(b) log ( y + x - x − y ) 2 = 2 log( y + x - x − y)
= 2 log(2 x − 2 x − y 2 )
∴ log( y + x - x − y ) = log(2 x − 2 x − y 2 )
(c) Put x = 2, y = 1 ⇒ log( 1 + 2 - 2 − 1) = log(2 2 − 2 2 − 12 ) = log(2 2 − 2)
and ( 1+ 2 - 2 − 1)2 = 2 2 − 2 2 − 12 = 2 2 − 2
log( 1 + 2 - 2 − 1) log(2 2 − 2)
