(a) The subsets A, B and C of a universal set are defined as follows :

A = {m, a, p, e} ; B = {a, e, i, o, u} ; C = {l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u}. List the elements of the following sets.

(i) \(A \cup B\) ; (ii) \(A \cup C\) ; (iii) \(A \cup (B \cap C)\).

(b) Out of the 400 students in the final year in a Senior Secondary School, 300 are offering Biology and 190 are offering Chemistry.

The table below is for the relation \(y = 2 + x - x^{2}\)

x -2 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3
y -4 -1.75 0 1.25 2 2.25 2 1.25 0 -1.75 -4

(a) Using a scale of 2cm to 1 unit on each axis, draw the graph of the relation in the interval \(-2 \leq x \leq 3\).

(b) From your graph, find the greatest value of y and the value of x for which this occurs.

(c) Using the same scale and axes, draw the graph of \(y = 1 - x\)

(d) Use your graphs to solve the equation \(1 + 2x - x^{2} = 0\)

(i) the length of the parallel of latitude 46°N, to the nearest 100km;

(ii) the distance between K and Q, correct to the nearest 100km;

(iii) the distance between Q and P measured along the parallel of latitude, to the nearest 10km.
