[Hint:
Question 6 (6 Marks)
Will inherits £1900 from a distance relative. He decides to invest all of this money in either stocks
and shares (S), premium bonds (P), and gambling on football scores (G). Will decides to invest 6
times as much money in football scores than premium bonds. Will did not do so well in the football
gambling, losing half of his money. Of the investments in stocks and shares, and premium bonds,
Will:
 Gains a 7% return on the stocks and shares
 Also gains a 4% return on the premium bonds.
 However, in all three investments, Will overall loses £557.
Use inverse matrices to calculate the original amount of investments Will makes in each “saving
scheme”.

Question 7 (5 + 1 = 6 Marks)

These study sheets are aimed to guide your independent study. Please do not use the mark scheme to
copy from. Be honest with yourself. If you do not understand something, ask your teacher. This
should supplement your revision, along with taking notes, watching helpful videos, and completing
questions form the textbook in areas that you find tricky.

1) a)

b)

2)
( ) ( )

3) a) Modulus = √(√ )

Argument = ( ) ( )
√

Therefore: ( ( ) ( ))
b)
c) ( ( ( )) ( ( ))) ( ( ) ( ))

4) ( )( ) ( )

Inverse of matrix = ( ).

( ) ( )( ) ( ) so therefore

5) As then

So therefore: Top, Middle:

Therefore, Stocks and shares = £500, Premium Bonds = £200, and Gambling = £1200.
