Homework Factory Circle
1. Problem: Analyze voting data for homework-free day, calculate circle dimensions from circumference, find HCF using prime factorization, and solve wage and profit questions for a factory.
1.(a)(i) List of votes: Monday, Friday, Thursday, Friday, Wednesday, Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Monday, Friday, Monday, Friday.
Count votes:
- Monday: 4
- Tuesday: 2
- Wednesday: 2
- Thursday: 1
- Friday: 6
1.(a)(ii) Day with most votes is Friday with 6 votes.
1.(b)(i) Circumference formula: $$C = 2\pi r$$
Given $C=44$ cm and $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$, solve for $r$:
$$44 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r$$
$$44 = \frac{44}{7} r$$
Multiply both sides by 7:
$$44 \times 7 = 44 r$$
$$308 = 44 r$$
Divide both sides by 44:
$$r = \frac{308}{44} = 7$$ cm
1.(b)(ii) Area formula: $$A = \pi r^2$$
Using $r=7$ cm:
$$A = \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 49 = 22 \times 7 = 154$$ cm²
1.(c) Prime factorization:
$$108 = 2^2 \times 3^3$$
$$72 = 2^3 \times 3^2$$
HCF is product of lowest powers of common primes:
$$HCF = 2^{\min(2,3)} \times 3^{\min(3,2)} = 2^2 \times 3^2 = 4 \times 9 = 36$$
1.(d)(i) Number of workers = 98
- 10 workers earn 150 daily
- 88 workers earn 85 daily
Weekly pay:
- For 10 workers: $$10 \times 150 \times 6 = 9000$$
- For 88 workers: $$88 \times 85 \times 6 = 44880$$
Total weekly pay: $$9000 + 44880 = 53880$$
1.(d)(ii) Daily supplies = 1135
Weekly supplies = $$1135 \times 6 = 6810$$
Total weekly cost = wages + supplies = $$53880 + 6810 = 60690$$
Weekly income = 60128
Profit/loss = income - cost = $$60128 - 60690 = -562$$ (loss)
2. Problem: Complete table and graph linear function, calculate sale price, sum numbers, find irregular pentagon perimeter.
2.(a)(i) Given $y = -3x + 7$ and table:
For $x = -1$: $y = -3(-1) + 7 = 3 + 7 = 10$
For $x = 0$: $y = -3(0) + 7 = 0 + 7 = 7$
For $x = 1$: $y = -3(1) + 7 = -3 + 7 = 4$
For $x = 2$: $y = -3(2) + 7 = -6 + 7 = 1$
For $x = 3$: $y = -3(3) + 7 = -9 + 7 = -2$
For $x = 4$: $y = -3(4) + 7 = -12 + 7 = -5$
Completed table:
| x | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|----|---|---|---|---|---|
| y | 10 | 7 | 4 | 1 | -2 | -5 |
2.(b) Sale price is a tenth:
$$\frac{1}{10} \times 9307 = 930.7$$
2.(c) Sum: $$2.48 + 3.65 + 701.532 + 102.7 = 810.362$$
Rounded to one decimal place: $$810.4$$
2.(d) Perimeter of pentagon with sides:
$$2x + 8, 2x, x + 7, 10, 5x + 4$$
Sum sides to get perimeter $P$:
$$P = (2x + 8) + 2x + (x + 7) + 10 + (5x + 4) = 2x + 8 + 2x + x + 7 + 10 + 5x + 4$$
Combine like terms:
$$P = (2x + 2x + x + 5x) + (8 + 7 + 10 + 4) = 10x + 29$$
