v = 83 i + 12
25
j. Find x and y, given that v = 14 a + 13 b
(b) Find the point of intersection of the lines
x − 2y = −5 and 2x + 7y − 34 = 0
2. (a) The energy (E) stored in an elastic band varies
as a square of the extension (X).When the elastic
band is extended by 4cm,the energy stored is
240Joules.What is the energy stored when the
extension is 6cm?,what is extension when the
stored energy is 60Joules?
