Q1 (PATTERNS AND ALGEBRA)

1. If the sum of two numbers is 2 and their product is 4, what is the sum of
their cubes?

Let x and y be the numbers

x+y=2 xy = 4 x3 + y3 = ?

Working equation:

( x + y )3 = 23

X3 + 3x2y + 3xy3 +y3 = 8

x3 + y3 = 8 – ( 3x2y + 3xy2 )

= 8 – 3xy ( x + y )

= 8 – 3 (4)(2)

= 8 – 24

x3+ y3 = -16

Q2 ( PATTERNS AND ALGEBRA )

2. Nel can tile a floor in 14 hours.Nel and Mark can tile the floors in 4 hours.
How long would it take for Mark to tile the floor alone?

D = RT T = D/R

Let x be the number of hours that Mark can tile alone.

Working equation:
1/14 + 1/x = 1/9

126x [ 1/14 + 1/x = 1/9 ]126x

9x 126 = 14x

126/5 = 5x/5

X = 126/5 or 25 1/5 hrs.

Q2 ( GEOMETRY )

3. The statement “ If x+1 = 3, then x = 2.” Is the contrapositive of its

conditional statement, what is the inverse of its conditional statement?
Let A be the conditional statement
Let p→ 𝑞 𝑏𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 "𝐼𝑓 𝑥 + 1 = 3, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑥 = 2"
If p → 𝑞 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛
A is the statement “ ~𝑞 → ~𝑝
Hence, the conditional statement is “ if x+1 ≠ 3, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑥 ≠ 2”

Q4 STATISTICS & (PROBABILITY)

5. A bag contains 3 white balls and 5 red balls. Two balls are drawn in
succession without replacement. What is the probability that the two balls
are of the same color?
Solution:
P = (3/8)(2/7) + (5/8)(4/7)
P = 6/56 + 20/56
P = 26/56
P = 13/28
