15 A man met with an accident and went into a coma on 10th January 2013. As a result, he
did not pay the bank the outstanding balance of $M for his credit card bill when it is due
for payment on 27th January 2013. On the 27th of each month when the payment for the
credit card bill is due, the bank will charge a 2% interest on any outstanding balance that
is unpaid. After the 2% interest has been added, the bank will still charge an additional
late payment charge of $L monthly.
(a) Express in terms of L and M, his outstanding balance on his credit card on
1st February 2013. [1]
(b) If the man still remains in coma exactly n months later on the day he met with an
accident, show that the accumulated outstanding balance on the man’s credit card is
1.02n M  50 L(1.02n  1) . [3]
(c) Given that M  1000 and L  55 . Find the least value of n when the accumulated
outstanding balance on his credit card first exceeds $2010. [2]

9. Charis Insurance provides an investment linked savings insurance plan with two
options of premium payment, monthly and yearly.
For the monthly premium plan, premiums of $500 are collected on the first day of
each month and an interest of 0.5% per month is earned on the last day of each
month, such that there is $502.50 in the account at the end of the first month and
$1007.51 in the account at the end of the second month.

(i) Show that the total amount in the monthly premium account at the end of n
complete months can be expressed as M (1.005n  1) , where M is an integer
to be found. [4]

For the yearly premium plan, premiums of $6000 are made on the first day of each
year and an interest of 6% per year is earned on the last day of each year.

(ii) Given that the total amount in the yearly premium account at the end of k
complete years is $ 106000 1.06 k  1  , find the number of complete years

f is a 1-1 function as the line y = k, 2 k 6 intersects the graph of f exactly once.

(OR: f is a 1-1 function as any line y = k intersects the graph of f at most once.)
Hence f -1 exists.

Let y=f(x) = (4+2x)1/2

7. In a particular river in Brazil, a sudden surge in the number of piranhas (a type of fish
known for their sharp teeth and a voracious appetite for meat) is observed and has
affected the livelihood of the villagers living along the river. A group of fishermen is
engaged to catch these piranhas and the piranhas are caught at a rate inversely
proportional to the number of piranhas left. Furthermore, due to aggressive nature, the
number of piranhas is reduced at a rate of one-tenth of the piranhas remaining.

(i) If x (in thousands) is the number of piranhas remaining at time t (in days) after the
group of fishermen is deployed to catch the piranhas, show that x 2  10k  Ae 0.2t
where k is a positive constant. [4]
(ii) If there are 5000 piranhas at the start of the deployment of the fishermen and after
5 days, the number of piranhas remaining is 3000. Calculate the number of days
required to remove all the piranhas. [3]

13. It is thought that the pH value of water may affect the size of pearl in pearl oyster
farming. A pearl farmer wished to investigate whether there was any correlation
between the pH value of the water and the size of the pearl cultivated. The size of the
pearls and the pH value of the water where the oysters are cultivated are shown in the
table below.

7.7 7.8 7.9 8.0 8.1 8.2 8.3
water, x
Size of
pearl, y (in 6.82 7.28 7.61 7.79 7.91 8.02 8.05
cm)

(i) Draw a scatter diagram to illustrate the data, labeling the axes clearly. [2]
(ii) Comment on whether a linear model would be appropriate. [1]

It is thought that the size of pearl can be modeled by one of the formulae
y  a  bx 2 or y  c  dx
2

where a, b, c and d are constants.

(iii) Find, correct to 4 decimal places, the value of the product moment correlation
coefficient between
(a) x 2 and y,
(b) x and y 2 . [2]
(iv) Use your answer to parts (i) and (iii) to explain which of y  a  bx 2
or
y 2  c  dx is the better model. [2]
(v) The pearl farmer will like to have pearls which are exactly 8.00 cm. Find the
equation of a suitable regression line, and use it to find the required pH value of
the water, correct to 1 decimal place. Comment on the reliability of your answer.

(ii) The scatter diagram shows y is increasing at a decreasing rate

and hence a linear model is not appropriate.
(iii) (a) r  0.9358

(b) r  0.9464
(iv) Since the product moment correlation coefficient between x
and y 2 is closer to 1 compared to that between x 2 and y and y
increases as x increases but at a decreasing rate, hence
y 2  c  dx is the better model.
(v) Using the GC,
y 2  176.23  29.347 x

When y  8.00 , x  8.2

From (iii), r  0.9464 is close to 1. Since y  8.00 is within

the data range of y and x is the independent variable, hence
the answer is reliable.

9 Jessie wishes to take up a loan of $20,000 on the 1st day of the Year 2014. She intends
to pay an instalment of $300 on the 1st day of each month, beginning from February
2014. She sources out two banks, XYZ Bank and ABC Bank, which offer such loans.
The two banks have different ways of charging interest. XYZ Bank charges a monthly
interest of 0.5% on the outstanding amount owed at the end of each month, while ABC
Bank charges a fixed interest of $60 at the end of each month until the loan is repaid.

(a) If Jessie takes up the loan from XYZ Bank, show that the outstanding loan at the
end of February 2014 after the interest has been added will be $19899. [2]

Hence, find the number of months Jessie will take to repay her loan. [4]

9 Jessie wishes to take up a loan of $20,000 on the 1st day of the Year 2014. She intends
to pay an instalment of $300 on the 1st day of each month, beginning from February
2014. She sources out two banks, XYZ Bank and ABC Bank, which offer such loans.
The two banks have different ways of charging interest. XYZ Bank charges a monthly
interest of 0.5% on the outstanding amount owed at the end of each month, while ABC
Bank charges a fixed interest of $60 at the end of each month until the loan is repaid.

the number of roots of the above equation can then be found by the
number of intersections between C1 and C2. However, since C1 is
only defined for x  3 or x  5 and C2 is defined for 0  x  1 ,
there is no point of intersection.

Since x is replaced with x + k in the equation of C1, C1 is

Since x is replaced with x - k in the equation of C2, C2 is
translated k units in the positive x-direction. Hence smallest
integer value of k is 5.

did not pay the bank the outstanding balance of $M for his credit card bill when it is due
for payment on 27th January 2013. On the 27th of each month when the payment for the
credit card bill is due, the bank will charge a 2% interest on any outstanding balance that
is unpaid. After the 2% interest has been added, the bank will still charge an additional
late payment charge of $L monthly.
(a) Express in terms of L and M, his outstanding balance on his credit card on
1st February 2013. [1]
(b) If the man still remains in coma exactly n months later on the day he met with an
accident, show that the accumulated outstanding balance on the man’s credit card is

9. Charis Insurance provides an investment linked savings insurance plan with two
options of premium payment, monthly and yearly.
For the monthly premium plan, premiums of $500 are collected on the first day of
each month and an interest of 0.5% per month is earned on the last day of each
month, such that there is $502.50 in the account at the end of the first month and
$1007.51 in the account at the end of the second month.

(i) Show that the total amount in the monthly premium account at the end of n
complete months can be expressed as M (1.005n  1) , where M is an integer

complete years is $ 106000 1.06 k  1  , find the number of complete years
it will take for the total amount to first exceed $120 000. [2]

A young couple who just had their first child would like to take up a savings plan for
a period of 20 years to prepare for their child’s university education. A friend of the

At A, b + c = a + d .
At B, a + b + c = 48.
At C, a + c = 2b.
At D, d = b + 2a.
After simplifying,
− a + b + c − d = 0.
a + b + c = 48.
a − 2b + c = 0.
2a + b − d = 0.
Using GC, a = 8, b = 16, c = 24 and d = 32.
(ii) Total amount collected = $0.50 ( 2c + b )
= $0.50 ( 48 + 16 )

7. In a particular river in Brazil, a sudden surge in the number of piranhas (a type of fish
known for their sharp teeth and a voracious appetite for meat) is observed and has
affected the livelihood of the villagers living along the river. A group of fishermen is
engaged to catch these piranhas and the piranhas are caught at a rate inversely
proportional to the number of piranhas left. Furthermore, due to aggressive nature, the
number of piranhas is reduced at a rate of one-tenth of the piranhas remaining.

(i) If x (in thousands) is the number of piranhas remaining at time t (in days) after the
group of fishermen is deployed to catch the piranhas, show that x 2  10k  Ae 0.2t
where k is a positive constant. [4]
(ii) If there are 5000 piranhas at the start of the deployment of the fishermen and after
5 days, the number of piranhas remaining is 3000. Calculate the number of days
required to remove all the piranhas. [3]

13. It is thought that the pH value of water may affect the size of pearl in pearl oyster
farming. A pearl farmer wished to investigate whether there was any correlation
between the pH value of the water and the size of the pearl cultivated. The size of the
pearls and the pH value of the water where the oysters are cultivated are shown in the
table below.

pH value of
7.7 7.8 7.9 8.0 8.1 8.2 8.3
water, x
Size of
pearl, y (in 6.82 7.28 7.61 7.79 7.91 8.02 8.05
cm)

(i) Draw a scatter diagram to illustrate the data, labeling the axes clearly. [2]
(ii) Comment on whether a linear model would be appropriate. [1]

It is thought that the size of pearl can be modeled by one of the formulae
y  a  bx 2 or y  c  dx
2

where a, b, c and d are constants.

(iii) Find, correct to 4 decimal places, the value of the product moment correlation
coefficient between
(a) x 2 and y,
(b) x and y 2 . [2]
(iv) Use your answer to parts (i) and (iii) to explain which of y  a  bx 2
or
y 2  c  dx is the better model. [2]
(v) The pearl farmer will like to have pearls which are exactly 8.00 cm. Find the
equation of a suitable regression line, and use it to find the required pH value of
the water, correct to 1 decimal place. Comment on the reliability of your answer.

(ii) The scatter diagram shows y is increasing at a decreasing rate

and hence a linear model is not appropriate.
(iii) (a) r  0.9358

(b) r  0.9464
(iv) Since the product moment correlation coefficient between x
and y 2 is closer to 1 compared to that between x 2 and y and y
increases as x increases but at a decreasing rate, hence
y 2  c  dx is the better model.
(v) Using the GC,
y 2  176.23  29.347 x

When y  8.00 , x  8.2

From (iii), r  0.9464 is close to 1. Since y  8.00 is within

the data range of y and x is the independent variable, hence
the answer is reliable.

9 Jessie wishes to take up a loan of $20,000 on the 1st day of the Year 2014. She intends
to pay an instalment of $300 on the 1st day of each month, beginning from February
2014. She sources out two banks, XYZ Bank and ABC Bank, which offer such loans.
The two banks have different ways of charging interest. XYZ Bank charges a monthly
interest of 0.5% on the outstanding amount owed at the end of each month, while ABC
Bank charges a fixed interest of $60 at the end of each month until the loan is repaid.

(a) If Jessie takes up the loan from XYZ Bank, show that the outstanding loan at the
end of February 2014 after the interest has been added will be $19899. [2]

Hence, find the number of months Jessie will take to repay her loan. [4]

(b) Which bank should Jessie take a loan from if she wishes to clear her loan as soon
as possible? Justify your answers. [3]

9 Jessie wishes to take up a loan of $20,000 on the 1st day of the Year 2014. She intends
to pay an instalment of $300 on the 1st day of each month, beginning from February
2014. She sources out two banks, XYZ Bank and ABC Bank, which offer such loans.
The two banks have different ways of charging interest. XYZ Bank charges a monthly
interest of 0.5% on the outstanding amount owed at the end of each month, while ABC
Bank charges a fixed interest of $60 at the end of each month until the loan is repaid.

(a) If Jessie takes up the loan from XYZ Bank, show that the outstanding loan at the
end of February 2014 after the interest has been added will be $19899. [2]

Hence, find the number of months Jessie will take to repay her loan. [4]

(b) Which bank should Jessie take a loan from if she wishes to clear her loan as soon
as possible? Justify your answers. [3]

Since C1 :   4 and C2 : x  2 , y  3 t ln t ,

the number of roots of the above equation can then be found by the
number of intersections between C1 and C2. However, since C1 is
only defined for x  3 or x  5 and C2 is defined for 0  x  1 ,
there is no point of intersection.

Since x is replaced with x + k in the equation of C1, C1 is

translated k units in the negative x-direction. Hence smallest
integer value of k is 5.
OR
Since x is replaced with x - k in the equation of C2, C2 is
translated k units in the positive x-direction. Hence smallest
integer value of k is 5.
