(1) Simultaneous, Quadrilaterals and Inequalities

1. Find the value(s) of 𝑘𝑘 for the following simultaneous equations, given that the equations have
no solution.
(𝑘𝑘 + 1)𝑦𝑦 = (2𝑘𝑘 − 1)𝑥𝑥 + 5 ---(1)
4𝑦𝑦 = (𝑘𝑘 + 2)𝑥𝑥 + 10 ---(2)

2. The equation 2𝑥𝑥 2 + 8𝑥𝑥 = 1 has roots 𝛼𝛼 and 𝛽𝛽.


a) State the value of 𝛼𝛼 + 𝛽𝛽 and 𝛼𝛼𝛼𝛼
b) Find the value of 𝛼𝛼 2 − 𝛽𝛽 2 , leaving your answer in surd form.
c) Find the quadratic equation whose roots are 𝛼𝛼 4 − 𝛽𝛽 4

3. It is given that 𝛼𝛼 and 𝛽𝛽 are the roots of the equation 𝑦𝑦 = 𝑥𝑥 2 − 𝑥𝑥 − 1, where 𝛽𝛽 > 𝛼𝛼 and
