Question 6) i) $3(6a + 5b)(2a - b)$ ii) A(2, 4), B(-6, 6), C(-5, -7), D(-4, -5), E(0, -7), F(3, -4), G(6, 9), H(7, 8)
Question 7) i) $9%$ iii) $x = -5, y = -3$
Steps to Solve
- Factorize $36a^2 + 12ab - 15b^2$
First, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients 36, 12, and -15. The GCF is 3. Factor out the GCF from the expression:
$3(12a^2 + 4ab - 5b^2)$
Now, factor the quadratic expression $12a^2 + 4ab - 5b^2$. We are looking for two binomials of the form $(pa + qb)(ra + sb)$ such that $pr = 12$, $ps + qr = 4$, and $qs = -5$. By trial and error or using other factoring techniques, we find that:
$12a^2 + 4ab - 5b^2 = (6a + 5b)(2a - b)$
So, the completely factored expression is, $3(6a + 5b)(2a - b)$
- Write the coordinates of the points A, B, C ... H from the given graph
Read the x and y coordinates directly off the graph for each shown point.
A = (2, 4) B = (-6, 6) C = (-5, -7) D = (-4, -5) E = (0, -7) F = (3, -4) G = (6, 9) H = (7, 8)
- Determine the rate per cent per annum
The simple interest formula is $SI = \frac{PRT}{100}$, where SI is the simple interest, P is the principal, R is the rate per annum, and T is the time in years.
First determine the simple interest earned: $SI = 4734 - 3600 = 1134$
The Principal (P) = 3600 The Time (T) = $3\frac{1}{2}$ = 3.5 years
Substituting the above values into the formula. $1134 = \frac{3600 \times R \times 3.5}{100}$ $1134 = 36 \times R \times 3.5$ $1134 = 126R$ $R = \frac{1134}{126} = 9$
Therefore, the rate is 9% per annum.
- Solve the linear equations using cross multiplication method
The given equations are: $3x - 7y = 6$ $-4x + 6y = 2$
Using cross multiplication method, we have: $\frac{x}{b_1c_2 - b_2c_1} = \frac{y}{c_1a_2 - c_2a_1} = \frac{1}{a_1b_2 - a_2b_1}$
Here, $a_1 = 3, b_1 = -7, c_1 = -6$ and $a_2 = -4, b_2 = 6, c_2 = -2$
Substituting these values, we get:
$\frac{x}{(-7)(-2) - (6)(-6)} = \frac{y}{(-6)(-4) - (-2)(3)} = \frac{1}{(3)(6) - (-4)(-7)}$ $\frac{x}{14 + 36} = \frac{y}{24 + 6} = \frac{1}{18 - 28}$ $\frac{x}{50} = \frac{y}{30} = \frac{1}{-10}$
Now, we can solve for x and y: $x = \frac{50}{-10} = -5$ $y = \frac{30}{-10} = -3$
Therefore, $x = -5$ and $y = -3$
Question 6) i) $3(6a + 5b)(2a - b)$ ii) A(2, 4), B(-6, 6), C(-5, -7), D(-4, -5), E(0, -7), F(3, -4), G(6, 9), H(7, 8)
Question 7) i) $9%$ iii) $x = -5, y = -3$
More Information
The cross-multiplication method is a simplified way to solve a system of two linear equations. The construction problems require geometric instruments like a compass and ruler, which are not solvable in text.
