PAPER2
Answer only four questions in this section. (50 marks)
(1) (a)A survey carried out recently to find the number of applicants that applied for jobs in three
newspaper establishments revealed that 70 applied to the Daily Times, 65 applied to the Daily
Graphics and 85 applied to the Punch. 40 applied to the Daily Times only, 20 applied to the Daily
Graphic only, while 45 applied to the Punch only. If 5 applied to all the three newspaper
establishments, find:
(i) The number that applied to both the Daily Times and the Daily Graphics.
(ii) The number that applied to the Daily Times and the Punch.
(iii) The number that applied to both the Daily Graphic and the Punch.
(iv) The number that applied to at least one newspaper establishment.
(b)An operation * is defined on the set R, of real numbers by x*y = x + y + 3xy. If the operation *
is commutative,
(i) Find the identity element e of R under the operation *
(ii) Determine the inverse of the element x ∈ R, under the operation *
(iii) Find the value of x ∈ R, which has no inverse.
(2) (a)Solve for x if 22x+1 – 5(2x) + 2 = 0.

(b) Find the values of x which satisfy the equation; log10 (x2 + 4) = 2 + log10 x – log10 20.

(3) (a) Find the gradient of the line whose equation is given by: (a – b)x + (c – d)y = e + f

(b) Given that p = (4i – 3j) and q=(-1 + 5j), find (i) /p+q/ (ii) /q/
(4) (a) find the acute angles between the pairs of line: 4y + 3x = 2 and x – 2y = 3
(b) Find the equation of the line which is parallel to the line 5x + 4y = 18 and makes an intercept of 2 units
on the x-axis

x2 + y2 for all x, y € R. i. determine whether or not * is commutative
ii. If x*(x+2) = 49, find x
(b) Solve the equation: log10(4P2 + 1) – 2log10P – log102 = 1
