(a)  In the diagram, \(\Delta\) ABD is right-angled at B. |AB| = 3 cm, |AD| = 5 cm, \(\stackrel\frown{ACB}\) = 61° and \(\stackrel\frown{DAC}\) = x°. Calculate, correct to one decimal place, the value of x.

(b)  In the diagram, OABCD is a pyramid with a square base of side 2cm and a slant height of 4 cm. Calculate, correct to three significant figures : (i) the vertical height of the pyramid ; (ii) the volume of the pyramid.

(a) Copy and complete the table. 

\(y = x^{2} - 2x - 2\) for \(-4 \leq x \leq 4\)

(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 \(y = x^{2} - 2x - 2\).

(c) Use your graph to find : (i) the roots of the equation \(x^{2} - 2x - 2 = 0\) ; (ii) the values of x for which \(x^{2} - 2x - 4\frac{1}{2} = 0\) ; (iii) the equation of the line of symmetry of the curve.

(a) Solve \(\frac{1}{81^{(x - 2)}} = 27^{(1 - x)}\)

(b) Simplify \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{3}}\), leaving your answer in surd form.

(a) In the simultaneous equations : \(px + qy = 5 ; qx + py = -10\); p and q are constants. If x = 1 and y = -2 is a solution of the equations, find p and q.

(b) Solve : \(\frac{4r - 3}{6r + 1} = \frac{2r - 1}{3r + 4}\).

(a) AB is a chord of a circle centre O. If |AB| = 24.2 cm and the perimeter of \(\Delta\) AOB is 52.2 cm, calculate < AOB, correct to the nearest degree.

(b) A rectangular tank 60cm by 80cm by 100cm is half filled with water. How many litres of water is it holding?
