4. The distance S metres travelled by a car in T seconds after the brakes are applied is given
by 𝐒 = 𝟐𝟓𝐓 − 𝟐. 𝟓𝐓 𝟐 . Find (a) the speed of the car (in km/h) when the brakes are applied,
(b) the distance the car travels before it stops( 3+3 = 6 Marks).

5. A rectangular sheet of metal having dimensions 20 cm by 12 cm has squares removed from

each of the four corners and the sides bent upwards to form an open box. Determine the
maximum possible volume of the box(5 Marks).
