PAPER2 (2HRS)
Answer only four questions in this
section. (50 marks)
(1) (a)A survey carried out recently to find
the number of applicants that applied for
jobs in three newspaper establishments
revealed that 70 applied to the Daily
Times, 65 applied to the Daily Graphics
and 85 applied to the Punch. 40 applied
to the Daily Times only, 20 applied to
the Daily Graphic only, while 45 applied
to the Punch only. If 5 applied to all the
three newspaper establishments, find:
(i) The number that applied to both the
Daily Times and the Daily Graphics.
(ii) The number that applied to the Daily
Times and the Punch.
(iii) The number that applied to both the
Daily Graphic and the Punch.
(iv) The number that applied to at least
one newspaper establishment.
(b)An operation * is defined on the set R,
of real numbers by x*y = x + y + 3xy. If
the operation * is commutative,
(i) Find the identity element e of R
under the operation *
(7) (a) Consider the mapping below:
(ii) Determine the inverse of the element
x R, under the operation *
(iii) Find the value of x R, which has no
inverse.
(2) (a)Solve for x if 22x+1 – 5(2x) + 2 = 0.
(b) Find the values of x which satisfy the
equation; log10 (x2 + 4) = 2 + log10 x – log10 20.
(3) (a) Find the gradient of the line whose
equation is given by: (a – b)x + (c – d)y = e + f
(b) Given that p = (4i – 3j) and q=(-1 + 5j), find
(i) /p+q/ (ii) /q/
(4) (a) find the acute angles between the pairs of
line: 4y + 3x = 2 and x – 2y = 3
(b) Find the equation of the line which is parallel
to the line 5x + 4y = 18 and makes an
intercept of 2 units on the x-axis
(5)(a)The function f over the set of real number
is defined by f(x) = . Find f-1(5)
(b) Find without using logarithms tables,
the value of: log327 – log1/464
log3 1/81
(6) (a) A binary operation *is defined over R
(the set of real numbers) by
x * y = xy + x2 + y2 for all x, y € R. i.
determine whether or not * is
commutative
ii. If x*(x+2) = 49, find x
