Answers

  1. Equations of the lines enclosing the shaded area
    x=1
    y=0
    gradient of the line = We pick any two arbitrary points on the third line (0,3); (3,0)
    = 0 − 3/3 − 0 = −3/3 = −1
    To find the equation of the line in the format y=mx+c we pick another point (x,y) and pair it with any of the two points earlier chosen
    (x − 3)/(y − 0) = − 1
    x − 3 = − y
    in the form y=mx + c
    y= −x + 3
    Therefore the inequalities are 
    x ≥ 1
    y ≥ 0
    y < −x+3
  2. The diagram below shows the graphs of
    Y = 3/10 x −3/2 , 5x + 6y = 30 and x = 2
    By shading the unwanted region, determine and label the region R that satisfies the three inequalities;
    Y
    3/10 x -3/2, 5x + 6y 30 and x 2 (2 mks)
    L
    1 y = 3/10 x -3/2 at (0, 0)
     0
    2 *

    Picking P(0,0)
    0
    ≥ -3/2
    L
    2  5x + 6y = 30
    At (0, 0) 5x + 6y
    30
    0
    30 *
  3. 7s + 3t = 2950 ………………….(i) x 5
    3s + 5t = 2750 …………………..(ii) x 3
    35s + 15t = 14750
    (9s + 15t = 8250)/(26s = 6500)
    s = 250
    t = 2750 − 3(250)/5 = 400
    2t + 2s = 2(400) + 2(250)
    = shs. 1,300
  4. Let the cost of a biro be b
    Pencil be p
    2b + 5p = 120 x 3
    3b + 2p = 114 x 2
    6b + 15p = 360
    (6b + 4p = 228)/(11p = 132)
    P = 121
    2b + 60 = 120
    2b = 60
    b = 30
    The cost of 1 biro is 30/=
    The cost of 1 pencil is 12/=
  5. Let son’s present age be n yrs
    Father’s age is 2n yrs
    Ten years ago: son’s age →
    n −10
    Father’s age →
    2n − 10
    Son’s present age = 30yrs
    Father’s present age = 2x 30 = 60yrs
  6. 2x + 21 > 15 − 2x
    4x 0.6 

    15 − 2x ≥
    x + 6
    -3 x ≥ -9

    x > -1 ½ 
    ⇒ -1 ½ x 3
    Values are −1, 0, 1, 2, 3.
  7. y = -2x + 4
    gradient of h line is ½
    Equation (y + 4)/(x + 1) = ½

    2y + 8 = x + 1
    2y − x + 7 = 0
  8. 2s + 3t = 1750
    3s + 2t = 1500
    4s + 6t = 3500 
    9s + 6t = 4500
    2t = 1500 − 600
    t = 450
    5s = 1000
    s = 200
    Shirt = sh 200
    Trouser = sh 450
    1. Let cost of pencils be x and biro pens to be y
      4x + 6y = 66
      2x + 5y = 51

      4x + 6y = 66
      4x + 10y = 102
      4y = 96
      y = 24
      Correct substitution
      x = 3
      Pencils = shs.9
      Biro pens = 3
    2. (b) 9p + 3b = 228...(i)
      b − y = 4
      b = 4 + r ...........(ii)
      substituting for b in ..........(i)
      p
      + 5p − 288 = 0
      p = (-5 ±
       √25 − 4 x 1 x -228)/(2 x 1)
      P = 13 (to the nearest whole no.)
      b= 4+ 13 = 17
  9. 3x − 2 (x + 2) = 21
    X = 25
    Large No = 25 + 2 = 27

    product = 25 x 27 = 695
  10. x − 20 + 3x = 180oC
    4x = 200
    x = 50

    Attempt to get x by using l+e = 180o
    e = (2n-4)90/n
    number of sides

  11. 5x + 4y = 6160
    4(3x + y = 2800
    -7x = −5040
    x = 720
    y = 640
    4(720) + 2(640) = 4160
  12. 2x + 3y = 390
    5x + 2y = 810
    15x + 6y = 2430
    (4x + 6y = 780)/(11x = 1650)
    x = 150
    A pair of trouser =sh150
    A shirt = sh30
