Question one
a. Members – 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.
No. of ways 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
= 10!
2 X 1 = 2!

No. of ways = 10! X 2!


= 7,257,600

b. 4x2 – 18x + 3 = 0
x2 – 18x + 3 = 0 dividing through by 4
4 4
x2 – 9x = -3 taking constant to R.H.S

x – 9 = 78
2 √ 4

x = 4.5 + 4.41
x = 4.5 + 4.41 = 8.91
or
x = 4.5 – 4.41 = 0.09

c. B =35, b = 7, c = 5
sine rules
7 = 5 sin c = 5 sin B = c =24.1
Sin B Sin c 7

A +B + C = 180 A = 180 – (B-C)


= 180 - (35 +24.19)
= 120.81

a = b a= b x sin A.
Sin A Sin B Sin B
= 7 x sin 120.81
Sin 35

≈ 10.5.
d. tan x sin x + cos x = 88cx

= sin x sin x + cos x =Ʒ


cos n

= 4 + 3 √2 x 6 + 5√6
6 – 5√6 6 + 5√6

24 + 20√6 + 18√2 + 15√16


36 + 30 √6 - 30 √6 = 25√36

= 24 + 20√6 + 18√2 + 30√3


36 – 150

= 24 + 18√2 + 30√3 + 20√6
