Q2)

A) Kofi and Ama are brother and sister. Two times kofi's age plus five is the same as Ama's age. Ama is 17. How old is Kofi? First write a linear equation and then solve it.

C)

h(X)=ax^3-x^2-5x+b, where a and b are constants. For h(X) divide by (X+2) the remainder is 40 and for h(X) divided by (x-2) the remainder is 36. Find the value of a and b.

B) find the coefficient of x^3 in the expansion (2x^3-5x^3+2x-1)(3x^3+2x^2-9x+7)

A)

The polynomial g(X)=3x^3-2x^2-12x+8

(I) using the factor theorem, show that (X+2) is a factor of g(X)

(II) factorize g(X) completely

A system of equations is given below, 𝑡𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 𝑎 2𝑥 + 3𝑦 − 𝑡𝑧 = 𝑏 3𝑥 + 5𝑦 + (𝑡 + 1)𝑧 = 𝑐 Where 𝑡 is an integer and 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐 are real constants. The system does not have a unique solution, but it is consistent. Show that 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 𝑐.

In a certain country, the annual tax on a motor vehicle depends on the mass of the empty vehicle and the number of wheels. The tax is composed of R2 per year for every kg of the empty mass and R60 per wheel. Set up a formula that can be used to calculate the tax on any vehicle.
