2006 Mathematics Paper1

This document contains a math exam with two sections. Section A contains two multi-part questions involving algebra and geometry. Question 10 involves solving an equation for variables a and b given a condition on the function value. Question 11 involves finding the maximum error, minimum area, and range of possible areas of a six-sided polygon. Section B contains one question with multiple parts related to perpendicular bisectors of line segments, finding coordinates of points, and calculating ratios of triangle areas. The document provides space for students to show their work and write responses to the exam questions.
