step 1. Converting the numerator from a mixed number : 15 3 3 = 4 4
Total amount (yr1) = principal + Interest = 24, 000 + 8% of 24000 24000×8 = 24000 + 100 = 24000 ( 1+ 0.08)
step 2. Simplifying the denominator:
[Total amt ( yr1)] = 24000 ( 1+ 0.08)
Q1. Jan 2009
1 5 14− 5 2 − = 3 6 6
⇒
=
9 = 6
3 2
Now in year 2, Interest is applied to the total amount from year 1. so: total amt (yr2) = [total amt (yr1)] (1+ .08)
step 3. Divide Numerator by denominator: 15 3 ⇒ ÷ 4 2 15 2 × = 4 3
⇒
30 12
= 2.5
Alternatively The LCM of 3, 6 and 4 = 12 so we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 12 giving:
3
3 4
1 5 2 − 3 6 45 28−10
=
12 12
x
Alternatively: Using the compounding formula: n S = P 1 r where s = total amount P = Principal amount = $24,000 r = interest rate = 8% = 0.08 n = Compounding interval = 2 years = 2 ⇒ S = 24,000 1 0.082 = $27.996.60 ********************************************************
Q2
45 = 2.5 18
=
= [24,000 (1+.08)] (1 + 0.08) = 24,000 1.082 = $27.996.60
The LCM of n and 3n = 3n so placing under a common denominator we get: 6m – 5m m = 3n 3n

b) B$ 2000 = EC$ 2700 so: ⇒
B $ 2000 2000
B$1
= =
EC $ 2700 2000 EC$ 1.35
now: $EC 432.00 = $BD ? The first question to ask is whether you should get more dollars, or less dollars. Note that when you convert from $B to $EC you get more dollars so from $EC to $B the reverse will happen and you should get less dollars. If you expect less dollars then you must divide by the conversion rate of 1.35 so $EC 432.00 over 1.35 = $B 320.00 **********************************************************
2 5 −2 = 23
************************************************ Factorizing 1st two terms 3x – 6y = and factorizing 2nd two terms x 2− 2xy =
3 x – 2y x x− 2y
so : (x – 2y) is a common in both terms, Giving: x− 2y x 3 *********************************************** d) Let the length of the first piece be x so length of second piece = x – 3 (3cm shorter) and length of third piece = 2x ( twice the first piece) All three pieces add to 21cm so: ⇒ x x – 3 2x= 21 ⇒
4x – 3 = 21
⇒
4x = 24
⇒
x = 6cm
If I deposit $24,000 in an account and it is compounded at a rate of 8% for two years. Then after the first year , © cxcDirect Institute Email:

From the graph given: the two points on the straight line have coordinates of: P (0, 3) and Q ( -2 , 0) M= 42
P = 54
Gradient PQ: (54 - x)

The total Students = 92 so: (54-x) + x + (42-x) + 6 = 92 ⇒ 54+42+6 – x = 92 ⇒

b) This question is a test of your knowledge of trig. ratios and Pythagoras theorem. From the diagram given:

Finding JK: now JK = JM - MK where JM is the vertical side of right angled triangle JLM
Equation PQ: From the graph, The y-intercept = c = 3 so from the general equation of a straight line: y = mx + c

JM 5 2 =13 2
Using pythagoras
y=1.5x 3

so:
JM =

( we note also that this is a pythagorean triplet ( 5,12,13)

Question -7 Statistics Marks

2 7 16 30 46 58 66 70
4.) The probability that a student scores less than or equal to 30 marks: P <= 30 =
# students scoring ≤ 30 6
Now reading directly from the cumulative frequency table, # students scoring less than or equal to 30 = 16 so
P <= 30 =
16 70
1.) A plot of cumulative frequency against Upper class boundary is drawn because we want to produce a ( less than graph). 2.) The coordinate (0,0) is assuming that no student gets a score of zero, Or a score less than 1 3) Because this is a “less than” graph, It can be seen directly from the graph that 40 students scored less than the pass mark of 47, and therefore 40 failed the test.

a=2 ,
l 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 .. 2xd-4 .. 180 .. .. 372
so
−4 h= 2×2

b=−4 , and
c=−13 =

2 x−1 −15
2. The values of x at which the graph cuts the x-axis are the roots of the equation: so we need to solve the equation:
a=2 ,
so if :
b=−4 , and
c=−13
Using the quadratic formula: =

that is:
x= 3.74 or

3. Now the function is a parabola with a minimum value. The interval for which f(x) is less than zero is: −1.74≤ x≤3.74
4. Now given that f x= 2 x −12 − 15 The minimum value occurs when f ( x)=k so f min ( x) = - 15 The value of x at the minimum = so x= − (−1) = 1
