We now get two equations: m = 3 4k or; 4k m = 3 …. because the scalars in front of p
are the same. For the scalars in front of q
we get: and m = 2k…. substitution of into gives k = 1.5.

(iii) q and r are parallel and 2│r│ = │q│.
11 [The length AB cannot be 3m since AB is always twice the length of EF= 2m. Think of the enlargement with
centre C and factor 2. It is clear that AB = 4m not 3m]
(a) (i) EC = EF + FC = 2m n
(ii) Here things go wrong: ➀ DE = DB + BE = DB + EC = m + 2m n = m n
➁ DE = DA + AF + FE = 2m n 2m = n
(iii) BD = m
(b) This question can only be answered if you use (a) (ii) ➁.
You can explain that both vectors DE and AC can be expressed in terms of n so they must be parallel.

2y the top line for the x component gives: 2x + 7y =18 and the second or
y component gives: 4x + 4y = 0.
(ii) The second equation tells us 4y = 4x or x = y substitute this in the first equation: 2x + 7x = 18 or 9x = 18
so x = 2 and y = 2.
Section 2 Functions & long division of a polynomial by a binomial.

So the quotient is x2 + 3x + 3 and
the remainder is 1.
So the answer is: x2 + 2x + 7 ;
So the quotient is 2x2 3x + 4 and
the remainder is 31.

8 (a) g(1) = (2)3 = 8 and f(8) = (8 1)
2 = 81 so fg(1) = 81
(b) gh(x) = g(h(x)) = g(2x + 1) = (2x + 1)3 = (4x
2 + 4x + 1)( 2x + 1) = 8x
3 + 12x
2 + 6x + 1
(c) To find h1
(x) first write y = 2x + 1 swop x and y: x = 2y + 1 then make y subject of the equation:
x 1 = 2y or y = ½ x ½ so h1
(x) = ½ x ½ .
9 Let f(x) = 4x3 + 6x
2 3x + 16 then the remainder is f(3) = 4 27 + 6 9 9 + 16 = 108 + 54 + 7 = 169
The quotient can be found through inspection: 4x3 + 6x
2 3x + 16 = (x 3)(ax
2 + bx + c) → a =4 and c = 5
31
So 4x3 + 6x
2 3x + 16 = (x 3)(4x
2 + bx 5
31 )
3 4 + b = 6 or b = 18 So the quotient is 4x2 + 18x 5
31 .
[This last approach of inspection is tricky but faster; of course you can use the long division as well.]
10 (a) f(2) = 2 4 + 1 = 9 (b) 4 3x = 0 or 3x = 4 so x = 1⅓
(c) y = 4 3x swop x and y: x = 4 3y; make y subject: x 4 = 3y so y = 1⅓ ⅓x so g1
(x) =1⅓ ⅓x
(d) fg(x) = f(4 3x) = 2(4 3x)2 + 1 = 32 48x + 18x
2 + 1 = 18x
2 48x + 33
(e) 2x2 + 1 = 4 3x or 2x
2 + 3x 3 = 0 so

So x = 0.69 or x = 2.19
11 Let f(x) = x3 + 3x
2 5 then f(2) = 8 + 12 5 = 15 so R = 15.
Since x3 + 3x
2 5 = (x 2)(ax
2 +bx + c) + 15 or x
3 + 3x
2 10 = (x 2)(ax
2 + bx + c)
One can easily see a = 1; c = 5. For b looking at the coefficient of x2 , valid is 3 = 2 + b so b = 5
Section 3 Linear Programming 1 So the point inside R with integers as coordinates is (2, 2)
2 (a) Inequalities are: x ≥ 2 and x + y ≤ 12½
(b) (i) Point closest to C is: (10, 2) inside ABC; (10, 2) is

3 (a) The gradient of the line x 3y = 6
3y = x + 6 3
y = ⅓ x 2 so the gradient is ⅓.
(b) Inequality: x + 1 ≥ 0 or x ≥ 1
[The points right of the x = 1]
Inequality: x + y ≤ 2 try point (0, 0): 0 + 0 ≤ 2 is true
So all points below the line x + y = 2 are solutions.
Inequality: x 3y ≤ 6 try again point: (0, 0): 0 3×0 ≤ 6
yes 0 ≤ 6 so all points above the line x 3y = 6 are solutions.
Shaded region is inside the triangle formed by the 3 lines.
4 (a) 400x + 700y ≤ 56000 divide by 100 4x + 7y ≤ 560
(b) y ≤ x (c) y ≥ 10 (d) see the diagram
(e) (40, 40) is a point on the line y = x, so 40 high cost houses can be build.
(f) Two slanted lines meet at 11x = 560 or x = 50.91; so point of intersection is (501110 , 50
1110 ). Try (50, 51) and
(50, 52) .(52, 50) is the point inside the unshaded area that still satisfy all
conditions. 52 × 200 000 + 50 × 500 000 = N$ 35 400 000. The other point just inside is: (122, 10)
building cost = 122 × 200 000 + 10× 500 000 = N$ 29 400 000so highest cost is N$35 400 000.

(c) See diagram (Scale is less than 1cm per unit)
(d) Points that satisfies all conditions are: (6, 3); (6, 4);
(6, 5); (7, 3); (7, 4); (8, 3); (8, 4) and (9, 3).
(e) Check only the vertices towards the right top side:
Profit for (6, 5): 6 × 150 + 5 ×300 = N$2400
Profit for (8, 4): 8 × 150 + 4 ×300 = N$2400
Profit for (9, 3): 9 × 150 + 3 ×300 = N$2250
So maximum profit is N$2400

Section 4 Commercial arithmetic Reverse percentages & percentage increase
1 The short way of solving this question: 800 ÷ 125 × 100 = $640. [In the 800 is the cost price (100%) and the
Profit (25%); go to 1 by dividing by 125 then times 100 to get the cost price]
If you cannot understand/see this you can use a longer method:
Using a three lined table: Cost price $100
Profit $25
Selling price $125 $800
The table above is how you start the calculation. Since the columns are direct proportional one can divide/multiply
each column to form a new column, slowly working yourself towards the final answer.
Cost price $100 $400 $80 $640 So she paid $ 640 for the
painting.
Profit $25 $100 $20 $160
Selling price $125 $500 $100 $800
2 8 × 100150 = 8 × 1.5 = 12 cm; this is the increase so the new length is 8 + 12 = 20 cm.
3 (a) 120 × 2.80 = $336 (b) 224 ÷ 2.80 = £80
4 (a) Total discount is: 1200 × 0.28 × 0.04 = $13.44

(e) Either 2 3500 + 8 2500 = N$27000
or 3 2500 + 7 3500 = N$32000
So the maximum profit is N$32000.

(d) In short: cost of posting this parcel in 2005 = 4.60 ÷ (100 + 15) × 100 = $4
Or use a 3 lined table:
So the company had to pay $4 for posting a parcel in 2005.
5 (a) apples cost 5.90 (1.35 + 1.20 + 1.64 + 1.20) = $ 0.51

12 Use the formula Pt = P0(1 + r/100)
t or 1000 = 420 1.08
t or 100 = 42 1.08
t take log:
Log 100 = log(42 1.08t ) or 2 = log 42 + t log 1.08 so t = (2 log 42) log 1.08 = 11.27 years.

In the shape drawn there are 3 angles of 105º and 3 angles of zº so 3 × 105º + 3z = 720º
Solve for z : 3z = 720º 315º = 405º so z = 405 ÷ 3 = 135º

2 + 8x 48 = 0.
(b) x2 + 8x 48 = 0 → (x + 12)(x 4) = 0 so x = 4 or x = 12 so that BC = 4 cm
(c) BC = 2 cm so x = 2 so AC = 2 + 8 = 10 cm.

Section 13 Angles in a circle
1 (a) ADB = 90º 36º = 54º [TD is tangent so BDT = 90º]
(b) ABD = 36º [BAD = 90º and ADB = 54º; the angles in a △ add up to 180º.]
(c) ACD = 36º [ ABD and ACD are both subtended by chord AD, so they are equal.]
2 (a) BOD = 2 × 47º = 94º [Angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference]
(b) BCD = 180º 47º = 133º [Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180º]
(c) OBD = (180º 94º) ÷ 2 = 43º. [△BDO is an isosceles triangle.]
3 (a) GAE = 38º [AEDC is cyclic quadrilateral so EAC = 180º 128º = 52º and GAC = 90º]
(b) AEB = 180º 65º 52º = 63º [BFC = AFE {Vertically opposite angles} angles in △AEF add up to 180º]
4 (a) (i) APC = 90º because AC is the diameter of the circle. [The intersection of the two diagonals is the centre
of the circle.]
(ii) Draw diagonal AC; CAB = CPB subtended by the same chord BC. But CAB = 45º and APC =
90º. This means APB = PBC = 45º.
(iii) APB = 45º. (b) APD = 135º [3 × 45º]
(b) PRD = 127º as well [vertically opposite angles] so PDR = 180º 127º 45º = 8º.
So PDC = 90º + 8º = 98º.
5 (a) CEA = 146º CEA and AOC are both subtended by chord AC in circle II.
(b) CBA = ½ × 146º = 73º angle at the circumference is half the angle at the centre when they both are
subtended by the same chord.
(c) Quadrilateral AECF is cyclic opposite angles add up to 180º CFA = 180º 146º = 34º
(d) In circle I; CDA is an angle at the circumference subtended by chord AC.
Reflex angle AOC = 360º 146º = 214º is as well subtended by chord AC. CDA = ½ × 214º = 107º.
CDA is as well the exterior angle in △CDF so DCF = 107º 34º = 73º
6 (a) (i) ½ 105 = 52.5˚ Reason: Angle at the circumference is half the angle at the centre if they are subtended by the same chord.
(ii) 90˚. Reason: Tangent is perpendicular to the diameter in the point of touch.
(iii) 90˚ Reason: angle in a semicircle is 90˚. (b) (i) 52.5˚ (ii) 180 105 = 75˚ [AOBC iis as well a cyclic quadrilateral]

[To me this question is not well set. There is only
something known about the probability of wearing
gloves under the condition that he wears a jersey
and a scarf. That does not give the probability for
wearing gloves when he has not put on a jersey
and a scarf.]

3 (a) PSR = 60º because PSR and QPS
are alternating angles. [PQ is parallel to RS]
(b) (i) 60º + 70º = 130º (ii) 130º + 180º = 310º (iii) 70º + 180º = 250º
(c) △PQT is similar to △SRT because QPS = PSR see (a).
As well PTQ = RTS (vertically opposite angles)
The triangles have two equal angles so even the third angle will be equal
(180º sum rule.) Conclusion the two triangles are similar.
Similar triangles, so the corresponding sides have the same ratio:

0.4 = 24º. Bearing is now: 270 + 24 = 294º.
5 (a) (i) PQM and LMQ are co-interior angles; the add up to 180º x = 56º

So y ½ = ±½ so y = 0 or y = 1
(iii) Points of intersection are (2, 0) or (4, 1) by substituting y = 0 or y = 1in x = 2 2y.

So 2x2 = ax

= 1½. So the equation of the line is y = 1.5 x + c; Q(4, 6) on the line so
6 = 6 + c ; this means c = 12 so that the requested equation is: y = 1.5 x + 12.
3 (a) Make a sketch on your answer sheet!
Midpoint AC:
2
15,
2
51 (2, 3)
(b) In a parallelogram the diagonals bisect each other so diagonal
BD has to go through the midpoint of AC.
Parallel to y = 2 5x so the gradient of BD is 5 as well.
Equation of BD is y = 5x + c M(2, 3) on the line: 3 = 10 + c
c = 13; the equation of BD is y = 5x + 13
(c) Gradient AC is 4 /6 = 32 BC has gradient
23
Equation BC is y = 23 x + c. C(5, 1) on the line so 1 =
23 × 5 + c c = 6.5; equation BC is y =
23 x 6.5.
(d) B is where BC and BD meet. Equate: y = 23 x 6.5 and y = 5x + 13
23 x 6.5 = 5x + 13 or
6.5 x = 19.5 or x = 3. Substitute this in y = 5x + 13 y = 15 + 13 = 2. So B( 3,2) indeed.

So equation of L1 is y = cx 32
C(1, -4) on the line 4 = c 132
This means equation L1 is:
(c) perpendicular to line AB that means gradient is 1½ (product gradients 1)
so the equation is y = 1.5 x + c since D is on the line
it means 0 = 1.5 × (5) + c c = 7.5 so L2 has equation: y = 1.5 x + 7.5
(d) Equate y = 1.5 x + 7.5 and 31
32 3 xy or 1.5x + 7.5 =
31
32 3 x ×6 9x + 45 = 4x 20 or
13x = 65 so that x = 5 and y = 0 [substitute x = 5 in y = 1.5 x + 7.5] Point of intersection: (5, 0)
5 (a) OC = {(5 0)2 + (5 0)
2} = 50 ≈ 7.07.
(b) gradient is 1 [ (5 0) ÷ (5 0)] = 1
(c) y = x + c and the line passes through A(12,0) so 0 = 12 + c c = 12. Eq. through AB is y = x 12
(d) Substitute y = 5 in y = x 12 5 = x 12 so x = 17 so that B(17, 5)
6 (a) (16 4) ÷ (11 2) = 12 ÷ 9 = 1 1/3
(b) so the gradient of BC = 3/4
(c) Line through BC has equation y = ¾ x + c substitute B(11, 16) in it: 16 = ¾ × 11 + c so c = 23 ¾
So the equation through BC is y = ¾ x + 23 ¾ substitute y = 19 in it: 19 = ¾ x + 23 ¾ x = 6 1/3.
7 (a) A has y co-ordinate 4 so x + 2 4 = 6 so x = 6 8 = 2. Conclusion: A(2, 4)
(b) At B the y co-ordinate is zero so 3x = 12 → x = 4 so B(4, 0).
(c) (i) M has x co-ordinate ½(2 + 4) = 1 and y co-ordinate ½(4 + 0) = 2 so M(1, 2)
(ii) rewrite 3x + y = 9 → y = 3x + 9 so the gradient is 3. The perpendicular has now a gradient of
So the equation is y = x + c ; so M(1, 2) is on this line so 2 = + c so c = 2
The equation is y = x + 2
8 (a) The line can be written as y = mx + c or y = 31
x +c. (9, 4) is on the line so 4 = 31 9 + c so c = 7.
The line is y = 31
x 7…*. In the requested format: 31
x y 7= 0 or x 3y 21 = 0
(b) Equation line CD is y = 2x. Equate this equation to * and you get: 2x = 31
x 7 multiply with 3:
6x = x 21 or 7x = 21 so x = 3; use y = 2x to find y gives y = 6 so E(3, 6).

The requested equation is now: y = −3x + c and the line passes through M(−1, −4) so −4 = 3 + c so c = −7.
The required equation is : y = −3x – 7.

(ii) a = 50 and d = 10 so Tn = a + (n 1)d in this case: T7 = 50 + 6 × 10 = N$110

5 T1 = 3 so 3 = a + b….. T2 = 10 so 10 = 4a + 2b ….. These form two simultaneous equations:
2 × gives: 2a + 2b = 6….. and gives 2a = 4 so that a = 2. Substitute a = 2 in you get b = 1

2 ÷ √Q =12.288 √3 so that
Q1½

Section 24 Polygons
1 (a) Let x be the interior angle and y the exterior angle. Valid is now x = py … Valid is as well: x + y = 180º ….
Substitute x from in to you get py + y = 180º so that y(p + 1) = 180º and y = 1

= 360º ×180
1p= 2p + 2
2 There are 3 exterior angles of 180º 150º = 30º, the other interior angles are 45º.
The sum of all exterior angles is 360º. Let there be n exterior angle of 135º so 3 × 30º + 45n = 360º so 45n = 270º
so n = 6. So this polygon has 9 sides.
3 Exterior angle is 360º ÷ 10 = 36º. So the interior angle is 180º 36º = 144º.
4 (a) Exterior angle is 180º 140º = 40º. 360º ÷ 40º = 9 9 sided regular polygon.
(b) 360º 2 × 140º = 360º 280º = 80º. [Congruent polygons have the same interior angle.]
5 (a) false [All equilateral triangles are similar, not congruent]
(b) true
(c) false
6 In a heptagon (7-sided polygon) one can draw 5 triangles. So the sum of the internal angles is 5 180˚ = 900˚. So one of the remaining angles is [900˚ 4 120˚] 3 = 420˚ 3 = 140˚
37
7 (a) (i) By drawing two diagonals from one vertex of a pentagon you can see it consists of 3 triangles→
sum of the angles is 3 × 180 = 540 so 540 = x + 3x + 2x + 104 + 85 or 6x = 351 so x = 58.5°so the smallest
angle is 58.5°.
(ii) Largest exterior angle is 180 – 58.5 = 121.5°.
(b) [This question is not properly set; omitted is the word regular polygon]
(i) Hexagon
(ii) The area of the hexagon is 6 × area of an equilateral triangle with side 8 cm.
The height of an equilateral ∆ = ½ × base × height = ½ × 8 ×√[82 −4
2] = 4√32
Shaded area is area circle – 6 × area eql∆ = π×64 – 6 × 4√32 = 65.3 cm2

4 Mass in the ratio 135 : 320 = 27 : 64 length in the ratio 4:364:27 33 ;
so the smaller statue has height 6.143 = 1.2m. [The volume and mass are direct proportional]
5 Corresponding lengths are in the ratio 6 : 12 : 18 = 1 : 2 : 3 areas are in the ration 12

So that 12 AB = 120 [Cross-multiplication] or AB = 10 cm.
(d) The sides in triangle ACD are 1.5 times bigger than the corresponding sides in triangle ABE.
This means the area of triangle ACD is 1.52 times bigger than the area of triangle ABE.
Area triangle ACD = 1.52 × 36 = 81 cm

7 Since PQ is parallel to RS it follows that P = S and Q = R. So ∆PQO is similar to ∆SRO.
In addition PQ = RS (given) so ∆PQO is congruent to ∆SRO based on the case ASA (angle-side-angle).
8 (a) Lengths small pot : Lengths Large pot = 6 : 18 = 1 : 3 so the diameter sp : diameter lp = 1 : 3 and area = x : 9 so

1 x or 3x = 9 so x = 3 so the small pot has a diameter of 3 cm.

55cos
20 = 34.9 cm
(b) AB′ = 20 + 34.9 = 54.9 cm
(c) A′CB′ = 55º as well so sin 55º = 20
h so the requested height h = 20 sin 55º = 16.4 cm
3 (a) (i) Use sine rule in △ABD: 600
ˆsin
950
118sin BDAo
BDA ˆ = sin-1
950
118sin600 o

so ABD = 180º 118º 34º = 28º
(ii) Use cosine rule in △BDC: DC2 = BD
2 + BC
2 2BD × BC cos B ; replace all known values:
DC2 = 950
2 + 1040
2 2 × 950 × 1040 cos 42º DC = 718 m
(iii) sin 42º = h/1040 so the height is 1040 × sin 42º = 696 m (draw a line through C perpendicular to BD)
(b) tan-1
(500/ 696) = 35.7º (imagine a line straight down from the helicopter to BD and a line connecting the
helicopter to C. In this right angled triangle the basic trig ratio’s can be used.)
4 (a) In △PCB tan PCB = BC
PB so tan 20º =

PB so that PB = 10×tan 20º = 3.64 cm
(b) In △ABC tan BAC = AB
BC so tan 40º =
AB
10 this means AB =
o40tan
10= 11.9 cm. This makes AP= 8.28 cm
(c) In △PCB cos PCB = PC
BC so cos 20º =
PC
10 this means PC =
o20cos
10= 10.6 cm.
The perimeter is now 10 + 10.642 + 3.6397= 24.3 cm [This is a better answer than 24.2, the 24.3 is obtained by
using numbers that have not been rounded off. Always round off at the final stage of the calculation. If you use
values based on earlier calculations, do not use the rounded off values but values with a higher accuracy.]

6 (a) tan CAB = 200 ÷ 65 so CAB = tan-1
(200 ÷ 65) = 72.0º

2 2AB×BD × cosB or
AD2 = 16

0.741747 = 47.9º
(iii) Area ∆ABD = ½ AB.BD sin 112º = ½ × 24 × 16 × sin 112º = 178 cm2
(b) Scale 1 : 250 000 so 1cm on the map is 250 000 cm = 2500 m = 2.5 km so AB is 24 × 2.5 km = 60 km.

cross multiplication: 2(log 2 + p) = p or 2log 2 + 2p = p or p =2 log 2 so that p = log 22
or p = log ¼.
Yet p = log x so we get log ¼ = log x this means x = ¼.

A fraction cannot be made zero by its denominator so 8 + x2 – x − 2 – 12x + 24 = 0 or x
2 −13x + 30 = 0
This equation can be factorized: (x – 3)(x – 10) = 0 so x = 3 or x = 10
(d) log 2 = a → 2log 2 = 2a or log 22 = 2a (law 3) this means log 4 = 2a. Now consider log 12 = log (4 × 3) = log 4 + log 3.
(law 1 of logs) so log 12 = 2a + b
