Solution
(a) (i) Using a scale of 2 cm to 1 unit on both axes, on the same graph sheet, draw the graphs of \(y - \frac{3x}{4} = 3\) and \(y + 2x = 6\).
(ii) From your graph, find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two graphs.
(iii) Show, on the graph sheet, the region satisfied by the inequality \(y - \frac{3}{4}x \geq 3\).
(b) Given that \(x^{2} + bx + 18\) is factorized as \((x + 2)(x + c)\). Find the values of c and b.

Verified Correct Answer: Option
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
(a)(i) R is the required region.
(iii) Coordinates of the point of intersection of the two graphs = (1.1, 3.8)
(b) Assuming \(y - \frac{3x}{4} = 3\)
If x = 0, \(y - \frac{3}{4}(0) = 3 \implies y = 3\)
If y = 0, \(0 - \frac{3}{4}x = 3 \implies -3x = 12 ; x = - 4\)

\(b = 2 + c = 2 + 9 = 11\)
(b, c) = (11, 9).

Solution
A man earns N3,500 per month out of which he spends 15% on his children's education. If he spends additional N1,950 on food, how much does he have left?
A
N525
B
N1,025
C
N1,950
D
N2,975
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Amount spent on children = \(\frac{15}{100} \times 3500 = N525\)
Amount spent = Amount on children + Additional amount on food
Amount Spent = N525 + N1950 = N2475
Therefore amount left = N3,500 - N2,475 = N1,025

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
\(27^{x + 2} \div 9^{x + 1} = 3^{2x}\)
\(3^{3(x + 2)} \div 3^{2(x + 1)} = 3^{2x}\)
\(3^{3x + 6} \div 3^{2x + 2} = 3^{2x}\)
\(\therefore (3x + 6) - (2x + 2) = 2x\)
\(x + 4 = 2x \implies x = 4\)

log3x2 = -8
x2 = 3-8
x = \(3^{-8 \times \frac{1}{2}}\)
x = 3-4
x = \(\frac{1}{3^4}\)
x = \(\frac{1}{81}\)

Make 'n' the subject of the formula if w = \(\frac{v(2 + cn)}{1 - cn}\)
A
\(\frac{1}{c}(\frac{w - 2v}{v + w})\)
B
\(\frac{1}{c}(\frac{w - 2v}{v - w})\)
C
\(\frac{1}{c}(\frac{w + 2v}{v - w})\)
D
\(\frac{1}{c}(\frac{w + 2v}{v + w})\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
w = \(\frac{v(2 + cn)}{1 - cn}\)
2v + cnv = w(1 - cn)
2v + cnv = w - cnw
2v - w = -cnv - cnw
Multiply through by negative sign
-2v + w = cnv + cnw
-2v + w = n(cv + cw)
n = \(\frac{-2v + w}{cv + cw}\)
n = \(\frac{1}{c}\frac{-2v + w}{v + w}\)
Re-arrange...
n = \(\frac{1}{c}\frac{w - 2v}{v + w}\)
