Number

2.88

Price comparison, how much are you getting for every dollar you spend?

150g 400g
70.1vs 61.5 which means buying the smaller one gives you $2.14 $6.5

more bang for your buck...so to speak, better buy

Simple interest

$44.94, remember 6months = 0.5year

After three years he has $1498+269.64=$1767.64

Measurement

Map question

Approximately 45 cm square

2.5km

3 cm will be 3 2.5 7.5km2 on the island

i. Area of cross section is the area of the rectangle +semi-circle

30 14.13 44.13cm2

900 44.13 h
ii.
900
if you are bothered by technicalities, in this question

h 20.39cm
44.13

it may make sense to round down than up, rounding up puts the volume a tiny bit over 900, rounding
down ensures that the volume is less than 900 so

h 20.3 cm

Transformation

Vertices of ABC are A 3,2 B 6,2 C 3,4

Vertices of A I B I C I are A I 2, 3 B I 2, 6 CI 4, 3

The transformation is a 270 degree anticlockwise rotation about (0,0) or a 90 degree clockwise
rotation about (0,0)

a. Linear programming

i. Two other inequalities are x y 10 and x 2

ii. The pairs are (2,3),(7,3),(2,8) , the vertices of the shaded region

iii. Using P 5 x 3 y 3 we have P 5 2 3 3 3 16 ,

P5 7 3 3 3 41and P 5 2 3 8 3 31 so the pair that

gives the maximum is (7,3)

To show that AC and OB are parallel we only need to show that one is a

multiple of the other. You can see here that 2AC OB therefore AC and OB are
