QUESTION 1

a. (4-1 – 3-2) – 1
b. 3x4y + 9x2 – y84y
= 3y(x4 + 3x2 – 28)
=3y (x + 2)(x – 2)(x2 +7)
c. (7√6)(3√)
= 7√6 3√
= 7√2 x3 3√4x2
= 7√2 x 3 3x 2√2
=84√3
=(5 +√2) (5 -√2)
Since (a + b) (a -b) = a2 – b2
Therefore a = √5 and b=√2
= (√5)2 - (√2)2
=5–2
=3
4−5 i ( 4−5 i ) (−1)
d. =
2i 2i(−1)

−5−4 i
=
2
= −5

e. A = 1 b= -2 c = 4
D = b2 – 4ac
D = (-2)2 – 4(1)4
D = 4 – 16 = -12 < 0
Equation has no real roots that are imaginary.
QUESTION 3
a. f (x) = 2x2 + 3x – 4
= 4x2 – 1 + 3
F(x) = 4x = 3
b. f(x) = √x
y = √2x 1
y2 = (√2x 1)2
y2 = √2x 1

-1 = x2

√x2 = √2y – 1
X = √2y – 1
Log 10 + log10(x+9) = 1
Log 10(x + 9) (x) = log 10
(x + 9x)(x) = 1
X2 + 9x – 1 = 0
