\(B \hat{D} C\),

### (c)

\(C \hat{P} D\),

### (d)

\(A \hat{O} D\).

## Question 2
### (a)

Factorise \((m-n)(4 m+2 n)-(m-n)^2\).

### (b)

The average mass of 11 players is 81 kg.

When one player is removed the average mass becomes \(80,1\) kg.
Calculate the mass of the removed player.

### (c)

Maria uses \(40\%\) of her pocket money to buy shoes.

She uses \(30\%\) of the remainder to buy a dictionary.
Find the percentage of her pocket money that is left.

### (d)

Solve the equation

$$
\frac{4-x}{x}=\frac{x}{2}
$$

## Question 3
### (a)

The total surface area, A \(cm^2\), of a cone is given by the formula \(A=\pi r^2+\pi r l\)
where \(r\) is the base radius of the cone and \(l\) is the slant height.

#### (i)

Make \(l\) the subject of the formula.

#### (ii)

Find \(l\) when \(A=121,44\) \(cm^2\), \(r=4,2\) cm and \(\pi=\frac{22}{7}\).

### (b)

The time \(T\) minutes taken for a meeting is partly constant and partly varies as the square of \(N\), the number of members present.

#### (i)

Express \(T\) in terms of \(N\) and the constants \(h\) and \(k\).

#### (ii)

If there are 4 members present, the meeting lasts 30 minutes.

If there are 6 members the meeting lasts 45 minutes.
Find the values of \(h\) and \(k\).

#### (iii)

Find the time that the meeting will take if there are 7 members present.

## Question 4
### (a)

Simplify \(1 \frac{7}{8}-\left(1 \frac{1}{2}\right)^2\).

### (b)

Remove brackets and simplify \((2 x-y)(3 x+2 y)\).

### (c)

Express 0,8125 as a fraction in its lowest terms.

### (d)

#### (i)

Express 5832 as a product of its prime factors in index form.

#### (ii)

Hence find \(\sqrt[3]{5832}\).

### (e)

Express \(\frac{2}{x-4}+\frac{2}{x^2-9 x+20}\) as a single fraction in its simplest form.

## Question 5
### (a)

Given that matrix \(A=\left(\begin{array}{ll}3  |  9  1  |  4\end{array}\right)\) and matrix \(B=\left(\begin{array}{cc}5  |  1  -4  |  2\end{array}\right)\),
find

#### (i)

\(A B\),

#### (ii)

\(B^{-1}\) the inverse of matrix \(B\).

### (b)

Solve the inequality \(x-3<2 x+1 \leq 5-x\).

Leave the answer in the form \(a<x \leq b\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants.

### (c)

**Section B [48 Marks]**

Answer any four questions from this section.

Each question carries 12 marks.

## Question 6
Answer the whole of this question on a sheet of plain paper.
