[1/0]

f ( 1) = ( 1)(3( 1) 2 ) = ( 3 2 ) = 5 2 = 25

6. Solve the simultaneous equations below for x and y : 2 y + 3 x = 7 [2/1] 3 y + 5 x = 10 Suggested Solution: Answer: x = 1 ; y = 5 We may solve the problem by the elimination procedure. To eliminate y we may multiply both sides of the first equation by 3 , and multiply sides of the second equation by 2 , and add the resulting equations to each other: 2 y + 3 x = 7 3 y + 5 x = 10

6 y + 9 x = 21 9 x 10 x = 21 20 x = 1 x = 1 Answer: x = 1 6 y 10 x = 20 We may then find y by substituting x = 1 in any one of the equations, for example, the first one 2 y + 3x = 7 : 10 2 y + 3x = 7 2 y + 3( 1) = 7 2 y 3 = 7 2 y = 7 + 3 2 y = 10 y = = 5 y = 5 2

[0/3]

Suggested Solution: Answer: y = 2( x + 3)( x 7 ) The equation of the quadratic equation may be written as y = A( x ( 3))( x 7 ) y = A( x + 3)( x 7 ) 3+7 4 = = 2. The symmetry line of the equation is xmax = 2 2 The local maximum has coordinates (2, 50 ) . The constant A in y = A( x + 3)( x 7 ) may be determined by requiring that the coordinates of the local maximum must satisfy the equation: y = A( x + 3)( x 7 ) 50 = A(2 + 3)(2 7 ) = 25 A 50 y = 2( x + 3)( x 7 ) A= = 2 25 8. Solve the equation for x :

3 5 x + = x 3 5 Suggested Solution: Answer: x1 = 0 ; x2 = 31 Square both sides of the equation: 9 2 5 2 x + = ( x 3) 25 9 25 x + 25 = x 2 6 x + 9 25 2 25x + 9 = x 6 x + 9 / / 2 x 6 x 25x = 0 x 2 31x = 0 x( x 31) = 0 x1 = 0 x 31 = 0 x2 = 31

9. If all four vertices of a quadrilateral ABCD lie on the circumference of a circle, the quadrilateral ABCD is called a cyclic quadrilateral. Prove that the opposite angles of any cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary. [0/3/]
Suggested Solution: As illustrated in the figure below: Draw the radius DO and BO , where O is the center of the circle. Rename the angle subtended by the arc DCB at the center of the circle x . Similarly, rename the angle subtended by the major arc DAC at the center of the circle y . Using the fact that the angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended at the circumference by the same x arc, we may conclude that DAB = . 2 y 360 x Similarly: DCB = = . 2 2 x 360 x = 180 Therefore: DAB + DCB = + 2 2 Using the fact that the total sum of the internal angles of any quadrilateral is 360 we may conclude that: ABC + ADC = 360 180 = 180 .

11. Two DVD rental stores offer two different membership plans: Store A charges $12 for membership and $2 for each DVD that is rented. Store B does not have a membership fee but charges $3.50 for each DVD that is rented. Write an equation that shows the total cost, C , of renting n DVD from store A . Write an equation that shows the total cost, C , of renting n DVD from store B . Construct a simultaneous equation system of the equations obtained above and solve it graphically. Interpret the results. [2/2] Solve the equation system analytically. Interpret the results. [2/1] Suggested solution: $C = 12 + 2 n Answer: $C = 12 + 2 n , $C = 3.5 n , , n = 8 , $C = $28 $C = 3.5 n The total cost, C , of renting n DVD from store A is $C = 12 + 2 n The total cost, C , of renting n DVD from store B is $C = 3.5 n $C = 12 + 2 n The intersection of the two lines is the solution of the $C = 3.5 n equation system: The cost of renting 8 DVDs is the $35 no matter which store they are rented from. As illustrated below, the store A is cheaper than store B if more than 8 DVDs are rented. It is, on the other hand more expensive if less than 8 DVDs are rented from. The results are consistent with the graphical solution of part C.

15. A straw is placed into a rectangular box that is a cm by b cm by c cm , as illustrated in the figure below. If the straw fits exactly into the box diagonally from the bottom left front corner to the top right back corner, [0/5/] a. how long is the straw? b. What is the angle the straw makes with the bottom of the box if a = 10 cm , b = 7.5 cm and c = 20 cm . Note: You may, instead choose to solve the problem numerically: Find the length of the straw, to the nearest tenth of a centimetre, if a = 10 cm , b = 7.5 cm and c = 20 cm . [Instead Only: 1/2]

c cm

b cm

a cm

Suggested solutions: Answer: l = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 cm ; 58 ; l = 23.6 cm Lets denote the length of the straw by l cm . Due to the fact that the box is right angled, the length of the diagonal of the bottom (as well as the top) of the box, d cm , may be calculated using Pythagoras theorem:

d 2 = a 2 + b2 On the other hand, the diagonal of the bottom of the box, d , is perpendicular to the vertical side of the box, c . Therefore the triangle that is made of the straw, l , the side c and the diagonal d is a right triangle, where the straw is its hypotenuse. Using Pythagoras theorem: l2 = d 2 + c2 Therefore: l2 = a2 + b2 + c2
Answer: The length of the straw is: l = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 cm If we name the angle that the straw makes with the bottom of the box : c c c tan = tan = Answer: = tan 1 2 2 d a2 + b2 a +b
