1. The universal set ᶓ and the sets A

1 Simplify the following

4 3
a) − [2]
3 x −2 x +5

2
5 x −20
b) 2 [3]
10 x +10 x−20

2 Solve the following

a) 7x – 4(x – 3) = 27 [2]

b) 5x – 6y = 27

3x – 2y = 13 [3]

c) x2 + 2x – 3 = 0 [2]

d) 2x2 + 6x – 33 = 0 (give your answer correct to two decimal places) [4]

3 The length of the base of a parallelogram is 6cm more than its perpendicular
height, h cm. The area of this parallelogram is 33.25 cm 2.

(i) Show that h satisfies the equation 4h 2 + 24h – 133 = 0. [3]

(ii) Solve the equation 4h 2 + 24h – 133 = 0 [4]
(iii) Find the length of the base of the parallelogram. [2]

4 Given that A(-5,5), B(1,-3) and C(4, -3). Find

a) The coordinate of the midpoint of AC. [2]

b) The gradient of line AB [2]
c) The equation of the line which passes through (0,3) and is parallel to AB [2]
d) The length of AB [2]

5 a) y is inversely proportional to x . Given that y = 250 when x = 4, find y when

x = 80. [2]

b) y is directly proportional to x 2 . It is known that y = 10 for a particular value of x.

find the value of y when this value of x is halved. [3]
6 The triangles ABC and XYZ are similar and angle ABC = angle XYZ.
Angle BAC = x 0, angle YZX = y0,where x ≠ y.
AB = 3 cm, XY = 4cm and YZ = 5cm.

a) Express angle ABC in terms of x and y. [2]

b) Find BC [3]
area of triangle ABC
c) Write down the value of area of triangle XYZ [2]

7 The ratio of the areas of the bases of two geometrically similar buckets is 4: 9.
a) The area of the top of the smaller bucket is 480 cm 2. What is the area of the
top of the larger bucket? [2]
b) Write down the ratio of the heights of the two buckets. [1]
c) Both the buckets are filled with sand. The mass of the sand in the larger
bucket is 36kg. Find the mass of sand in the smaller bucket. [2]
