SECTION A (52 Marks)

1. (a) 1.5 +3¼ = 1½ + 3¼  3/2 + 13/4 = 6/4 + 13/4  19/4 = 4.75 or 4¾ [1]

(b) 2½ + 3 x 1⅚ = 5/2 +3 x 11/6  5/2 + 11/2 = 16/2 = 8 [3]

(c) 7½ ÷ 1½ = 15/2 ÷ 3/2  15/2 x 2/3 = 30/6 = 5 [1]

(d) 0.204 = 204 = 51 [2]

1000 250

(e) 2.401 x 0.03 = 0.07203 [3]

2. y = kz

(b) y = 27z  27 x 6 = 2 [3]

w² 81

(c) 3 = 27 x 4  3w² = 27 x 4  w² = 36  w = ±6 [3]

3. (a) ab² = 3 x (-5) x (-5) = 75 [1]

(b) a – 2b - c² = 3 – 2 x (-5) - 4² = 3 + 10 – 16 = -3 [3]

(c) 9a ÷ 2c = 9x3+2x4 = 35 = -7 [3]

(a) BYD = 180 – 55 = 125 [1] 140

(b) BAD = 180 – (55 + 85) = 40 [1]
(c) ADY = 140 – 55 = 85 [1] 55

(i) 8th term  10² = 100 [3]

(ii) nth term  (n + 2)² [3]

6. (a) 6x – 7 = 2x + 5 = 4x = 12 , so x = 3 [2]

(b) at² - 4a + 2t² - 8 = at² + 2t² - 4a – 8 = t²(a + 2) – 4(a + 2) = (a + 2)(t² - 4) = (a+2)(t+2)(t-2) [2]

(c) 2x² - 2 = 2(x – 1)(x +1) = 2(x – 1) = 2x - 2 [3]

2x² - x – 3 (2x – 3)(x + 1) (2x – 3) 2x - 3

(d) 1 - 2 = (x – 4) – 2(2 – x) = 3x – 8 [4]

2–x x–4 (2 – x)(x -4) (2 – x)(x-4)

SECTION B (48 Marks)

7. (a)(i) (2x + 3)² = (x – 2)² + (2x – 1)² (2x + 3) (2x + 3)=(x - 2)(x - 2)+(2x - 1)(2x - 1) = x² - 20x - 4 = 0 [3]

(ii) x² - 20x – 4 = 0  a=1, b= -20, c = -4  x = -b ± √b² - 4ac -(-20) ± √(-20) - 4(1)(-4)

2a 2(1)
 20 ± √ 400+16 = 20±√416 = 20 ± 20.39607805  x = 20.19803903  20.2
2 2 2
or x = -0.198039025  -0.2 [5]

(iii) Area = ½bh  ½(2x-1)(x – 2) = ½[(2)(20.2) – 1)(20 – 2)]  19.2 x 18 = 345.6m² [2]
