(a) Copy and complete the table of values for the relation y=2x\(^2\) - x - 2 for 4 ≤ x ≤ 4.
x | -4 | -3 | -2 | -2 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
y | 19 | -2 | 26 |
(b) Using a scale of 2 cm to 1 unit on the x-axis and 2 cm to 5 units on the y-axis, draw the graph of y = 2x\(^2\) - x - 2 for 4 ≤ x ≤ 4.
(c) On the same axes, draw the graph of y = 2x + 3.
(d) Use the graph to find the: (i) roots of the equation 2x-3r-5 0; (i) range of values of x for which 2x\(^2\) -x - 2<0.
.(a) In APQR, ∠PQR= 90°. If its area is 216cm\(^2\) and |PQ|:|QR| is 3:4, find |PR|.
(b) The present ages of a man and his son are 47 years and 17 years respectively. In how many years would the man's age be twice that of his son?
In the diagram, \(\overline{PQ//RS}\) is a trapezium with QR//PS. U and T are points on \(\overline{PS}\) such that \(\overline{|PU|}\) = 5 cm,
\(\overline{|QU|}\) = 12 cm and ∠PUQ= ∠STR =90°. If the area of PQR = 20 cm\(^2\),
calculate, correct to the nearest whole number, the:
(a) perimeter; (b) area; of the trapezium
(a) A cottage is on a bearing of 200° and 110° from Dogbe's and Manu's farms respectively. If Dogbe walked 5 km and Manu 3 km from the cottage to their farms, find, correct to: (i) two significant figures, the distance between the two farms, (ii) the nearest degree, the bearing of Manu's farm from Dogbe's.
(b) A ladder 10 m long leaned against a vertical wall xm high. The distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder is 2 m longer than the height of the wall.
Calculate the value of x
