Mixed Questions
1. Calculate angles T, W, X, Y, and Z given two intersecting parallel lines with angles 55° and 65°.
Step 1: Recognize that alternate interior angles and corresponding angles are equal when lines are parallel.
Step 2: Angle at T is vertically opposite to 55°, so $T = 55^\circ$.
Step 3: Angle at W is adjacent to 65°, so supplementary angle to 65° is $180^\circ - 65^\circ = 115^\circ$, hence $W = 115^\circ$.
Step 4: Angle at X complements to T, so $X = 180^\circ - 55^\circ = 125^\circ$.
Step 5: Angle Y equals to corresponding angle 65°, so $Y = 65^\circ$.
Step 6: Angle Z is vertically opposite to W, so $Z = 115^\circ$.
2. For the regression equation $S = 2.2 A + 1400$:
a) The rate sales increase per K1 spent on advertising is the coefficient of A, i.e., $2.2$.
b) Predicted sales if K10,000 is spent:
$$ S = 2.2 \times 10000 + 1400 = 22000 + 1400 = 23400 $$
c) To find advertising spend for sales of K16,000:
$$ 16000 = 2.2 A + 1400 \Rightarrow 2.2 A = 16000 - 1400 = 14600 \Rightarrow A = \frac{14600}{2.2} = 6636.36 $$
d) Profit from K30,000 advertising spend is not given explicitly, assuming profit equals sales minus advertising:
Calculate sales:
$$ S = 2.2 \times 30000 + 1400 = 66000 + 1400 = 67400 $$
Profit:
$$ 67400 - 30000 = 37400 $$
3. Solve system:
$a)$ Solve simultaneously:
$$ 2x - y = 5 \quad (1) $$
$$ x + 4y = 7 \quad (2) $$
From (1): $y = 2x - 5$
Substitute into (2):
$$ x + 4(2x - 5) = 7 $$
$$ x + 8x - 20 = 7 $$
$$ 9x = 27 \Rightarrow x = 3 $$
Then,
$$ y = 2(3) - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1 $$
Solution: $(x, y) = (3, 1)$
$b)$ Solve quadratic equation using formula:
$$ x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0 $$
Quadratic formula:
$$ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} $$
Here $a=1, b=-2, c=-15$:
$$ x = \frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-15)}}{2(1)} = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 60}}{2} = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{64}}{2} $$
$$ = \frac{2 \pm 8}{2} $$
Solutions:
$$ x = \frac{2 + 8}{2} = 5, \quad x = \frac{2 - 8}{2} = -3 $$
4. Graph questions:
a) Slope of straight line:
Using points approximately (-10, ?) and (0, -3), slope = $\frac{-3 - y_1}{0 - (-10)}$, from graph y intercept is -3, estimate slope near 1 (positive slope from graph behavior). To find exactly:
Using points (-4, 0) and (4, 2):
$$ m = \frac{2 - 0}{4 - (-4)} = \frac{2}{8} = 0.25 $$
b) Parabola cuts y-axis at $(0, -2)$.
c) Equation of straight line:
Use point-slope form with slope $0.25$ and point (0, -3):
$$ y = 0.25 x - 3 $$
d) Equation of parabola:
Vertex is near (-2, -12), and passes (0, -2). Use vertex form:
$$ y = a(x - h)^2 + k $$
$$ y = a(x + 2)^2 - 12 $$
At (0, -2):
$$ -2 = a(0 + 2)^2 - 12 = 4a - 12 \Rightarrow 4a = 10 \Rightarrow a = 2.5 $$
So,
$$ y = 2.5 (x + 2)^2 - 12 $$
e) X-intercepts of parabola:
Set $y=0$:
$$ 0 = 2.5 (x + 2)^2 - 12 $$
$$ 2.5 (x + 2)^2 = 12 $$
$$ (x + 2)^2 = \frac{12}{2.5} = 4.8 $$
$$ x + 2 = \pm \sqrt{4.8} = \pm 2.19 $$
$$ x = -2 \pm 2.19 $$
So, approximately:
$$ x = 0.19 \text{ or } -4.19 $$
