Prim embers are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17 and 19 02
Sum = 2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19 02
= 77 01

b) 0.125 X 1.23 = 0.15375 01

≈ 0.1538 correct to nearest ten thousandths. 02

2. a) Let x be total no. of periods


Periods allocated to civics= 1
𝑥
5
1
Periods allocated to geography = 𝑥 01
4
1
Periods allocated to history = 𝑥
8
Periods allocated to English =17
then,
x= 1 𝑥 + 1 𝑥 + 1 𝑥+17
5 4 8
x= 8x+10x+5x+17 01
40
x= 23x +17

40x=23x+680
40x-23x=680
17x=680
17 680
𝑥= 01
17 17

Hence X=40
(i) Total no of periods is 40 01
(ii) No. of Civics = 1 X 40 01
5
= 8 periods
(b) given U = 0. 2̇

10U = 2. 2̇

10U – U = 2. 2̇ – 02̇

9U= 2
U=2
9 02
And V = 1.86666……….

V = 1.86̇

10V = 18. 6̇

100V = 186. 6̇

100V – 10V = 186. 6̇ - 8. 6̇

90V = 168

V = 168

4. a) Let x be size of exterior angle


interior angle is 2x
since ext angle + interior angle = 180o 01
x + 2x = 180o
3x = 180o
3 3
X = 60o 01
Interior angle = 2 (60o)
= 120o
Let n be no of sides
Then,
Sum of interior angles = 120n
But also,
Sum of interior angles = 180 (n – 2) 01
120n = 180 (n-2) 01
60 60
2n = 3 (n-z)
2n = 3n – 6
6 = 3n – 2n
n=6

b) (i) Total length of rope = 1C + 2r 01
2
= 1 (2𝜋𝑟) + 2𝑟
2
= 𝜋𝑟 + 2𝑟
= r (𝜋 + 2)
= 35 (3.14 +2) 01
=35(5.14)
= 179.9 dm
≈ 180dm 01

(ii) Area = 1 𝜋𝑟2 01

5. a) Let x and y be the numbers


then,

3x + 2y = 12...................................................(i)
x + y = 5 …………………………………(ii) 01

3x + 2y = 12.........................................(i)
3 (x+y = 5).............................................(ii)

3x + 2y = 12...........................................(i)
3x+3y = 15).............................................(ii)

-y = -3
-I -I
y =3 01
In (i) : 3x+2 (3) = 12
3x+ 6 = 12
3x = 12 – 6
3x = 6
3 3
x =2 01

Hence, the numbers are 2 and 3 01


Product=2x3=6 01

b) x2 – x – 6 = 0
x2 – 3x+2x – 6 = 0 01
x(x-3) +2(x-3) = 0 01
(x-3) (x+2) = 0 01
x-3 = 0 or x+2 = 0 01
x = 0+3 or x = 0-2
x = 3 or x = -2 01

6. a) Given -2 and 5 as x and y intercepts


Since y = mx+c 01
0 = -2m+5 01
2m = 5
2 2
M= 5
2 01

Hence, the equation is y = 5x +5


2 02

b) Given y2 – By +16 is a perfect square


then,
b2 = 4ac 01
B2 = 4 (1) (16) 01
B2 = 64 01
B2 = + 64 01
B = + 8 01

7. a) Given 1 x = 81-x
3

1 √𝑥
(
1
) = ( )𝑥 01
3 81
1 √𝑥 1 4𝑥
=( ) =( ) 01
3 3
Compare exponents since bases are the same
x= 4x 01
square both sides

( x )2 = (4x)2

X = 16x2 01

16x2 – x = 0
X(16x – 1) = 0 01
X=0 or 16x-1=0
X=0 or 16x=0+1
X=0 or 16x=1
X=0 or x= 1
16 01

b) Z = 𝑥
𝑦

0.125

= 1x10-1 02

8. a) In ΔAOB and ΔCOD:


AO = DO (bisection)
BO = CO (bisection) 01
AB = CD (given)
AOB = COD (SSS) 01
̂ ̂
A 𝐵 O = D 𝐶 O (definition of congruence of triangles) 01
O 𝐴̂ B = O 𝐷̂ C (definition of congruence of triangles)

But these are alternate interior angles 01


Hence,
AB // CD. 01

b) Given ΔUVW~ ΔXYZ

U𝑉̂ W = X𝑌̂ Z = 90o


U𝑊̂ V = X 𝑍̂ Y = 30o 01
U𝑉̂ W + U𝑊̂ V+W𝑈̂ V = 180o
90o + 30o + W 𝑈̂ V = 180o 01
120o + W 𝑈̂ V = 180o

W𝑈̂ V = 180-120o
W𝑈̂ V = 60o 01
But,
Z𝑋̂ Y = W 𝑈̂ V = 60o (corresponding angles) 01
Hence, values of the rest of angles are
W 𝑈̂ V = 60o
X𝑍̂ Y = 30o
Z𝑋̂ Y = 60o 01
9. a) 5 – 2 (5 – 2 ) – )

) -2
(3x+3) (52-y) = 1 5 (5-1)-2
33

(3x+3) (52-y) = (3-3)5 (52)


(3x+3) (52-y) = (3-15) (52) 02

3x+3 = 3-15 and 52-y = 52 01


X+3 = -15 and 2-y = 2 01
X = -15-3 and y = 2-2
X = -18 when y = 0 01

10. a) Given x–y 2 = 0.25


x+y

x –y 2

x+y = 0.25 01

x–y = 25
x+y 100 01

x–y = 5
x+y 10

x–y = 1
x+y 2 01

x-y = 2 (x-y)
x-y = 2x-2y 01
y +2y = 2x –x
3y = x
y = 1x
3 01

b) Let x and y be the numbers


then,
x2 + y2 = 25.....................................(i)
x –y = 1……………………………(ii) 01

from (ii)x = y+1


In (i):
(y+1)2 + y2 = 25
y2+2y+1+y2 = 25 01
2y2+2y+1 = 25
2y2+2y+1-25 = 0
2y2 +2y-24 = 0
y2+y-12 = 0 01
y2-3y+4y-12 = 0
y(y-3)+4(y-3)=0
(y-3) (y+4) = 0
y-3=0 or y+4=0
y=3 or y=-4
y=3 01

In (ii) :x-3 = 1
x = 1+3
x=4 01
Hence, the two numbers are 3 and 4.
