THEORY QUESTIONS

1.
 

(a)

 

M is a set consisting of all positive integers between 1 and 10. P and Q are subsets of M such that P = {factors of 6}, Q = {multiples of 2}

(i)

 

List the elements of MP and Q

(ii)

 

Represent MP and Q on a Venn diagram

(iii)

 

Find P ∩ Q

(b)

 

(i)

 

Solve the inequality 2x - 24 - 2x - 13 ≤ 1

(ii)

 

Illustrate your answer on the number line.

2.
 

(a)

 

Express 131five as a binary numeral

(b)

 

Three children, Kwabena, Esi and Yaw were given 160 oranges to share. Kwabena gets 14 of the oranges. Esi and Yaw share the remainder in the ratio 3 : 2 respectively.

(i)

 

Find how many oranges Esi received

(ii)

 

How many more oranges did Yaw receive than Kwabena?

3.
 

(a)

 

Using a ruler and a pair of compasses only, construct triangle XYZ, such that |XY| = 6cm, |XZ| = 8cm and |YZ| = 10cm.

(b)

 

(i)

 

Construct the mediator of line YZ

(ii)

 

construct the mediator of line XZ

(iii)

 

Locate O, the point of intersection of the mediators of lines YZ and XZ.

(iv)

 

With centre O and radius OY, draw a circle.

(c)

 

Measure the radius of the circle you have drawn in (b) (iv) above and hence calculate the circumference of the circle.

[ Take π = 3.14 ]

4.
 

(a)

 

(i)

 

Using a scale of 2 cm to 1 unit on both axes, draw two perpendicular axes OX and OY on a graph sheet.

(ii)

 

On the same graph sheet, mark the x-axes from –5 to 5 and the y-axis from –6 to 6.

(b)

 

On the same graph sheet, plot the points A(2, 5), B(4, 3) and C(1, 1). Join the points AB and C to form a triangle.

(c)

 

Reflect triangle ABC in the y-axis such that AA1BB1 and CC1. Label the vertices of triangle A1B1C1

(d)

 

Translate triangle A1B1C1 by the vector (3-4) such that A1A2B1B2, and C1C2. Label the vertices of triangle A2B2C2

(e)

 

Join the vertices A1B1B2 and C. Name the figure formed.

(f)

 

Find A1B1

5.
 

(a)

 

A cylinder closed at one end has radius 7 cm and height 20 cm.

(i)

 

Find its total surface area.

(ii)

 

If the cylinder is filled with water to a depth of 5 cm, calculate the volume of the water in it.

[Take π = 227]

(b)
