H2 Mathematics 2017 Prelim Exam Paper 1 Solution

1 Let x, y and z be the amount of Francs, Pounds & Euro Mr Subash has left respectively.

1.35 x 1.80 y 1.55 z 1151.50

1.40 x 1.85 y 1.65 z 1208.25
1.45 x 1.75 y 1.60 z 1189.25

Using GC, x = 250, y = 125, z = 380.

He has 250 francs, 125 pounds and 380 euros left.

n 1 = 19
Therefore, at the beginning of 19th year, the amount in the fund will be less than $1000

Or: Sum of roots, = i 3

Method 2 Factorise the quadratic expression first

Or:
Let a bi , where a , b and b 0
x2 i 3 x 2 1 i = x x a bi
Comparing coefficients of x,
i 3 = a bi
b = 1 (Comparing imaginary parts)
a = 3 (1) (Comparing real parts)

For comparison purpose:

If GC is not used to find 2i , then the algebraic works will look as follows:

Let 2i = a bi , where a , b
2i = a 2 b 2 2abi
Compring real parts, a b 2 =
2
0
a2 = b2
a = b (1)
Compring imaginary parts, ab = 1 (2)
When a = b,
Sub. into (2), a2 = 1
a = 1
When a = 1, b = 1. When a = 1 , b = 1
2i = 1 i
When a = b
