13 (a)(i) x – 7 x + 12 = 0
⇒ ( x )2 – 7 x + 12 = 0
⇒ y2 – 7y + 12 = 0
(ii) x = 9 or x = 16
(b) p = 36 or p = 25
(c) t = 64 or t = 4
(Alternative answer:
2
14 ( x) +1=2 x
Let y= x
⇒ 2
( x) –2 x +1=0 1
y+ y =2 (×y)
2
⇒ ( x – 1) = 0
15 (a) a = 2, b = –7
(b) min value = –7, when x = –2
(c)
16 x = 2 or x = 3
