    MATHEMATICS 2

    Question 1. (a)
    x = { 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13}
    y= {3,6,9,12,15,18}

    = {6,9,12}

    (b) The LCM is the smallest positive number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.
    We solve this question by;

    1. List the prime factors of each number.


    2. Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.

    Since 3 has no factors besides 1 and 3. 3 is a prime number


    Since 5 has no factors besides 1 and 5. 5 is a prime number
    9 has factors of 1,3 and .

    The LCM of 3,5,9 is the result of multiplying all prime factors the greatest number of times they occur in either
    number.

    The LCM of 3,5,9 is

    C.

    Question 2(a)
    Find the LCM of 5 and 4 which is 20.
    Multiply all terms by 20 and simplify

    (b) (i)
    Boys : Girls = 12:25,
    If there are 120 boys,let x be the number of girls
    120 boys : x girls
    12:25 = 120: x

    If more, less divides


    Therefore

    Hence there are 250 girls in the class

    (ii) the total number of people in the school = Number of boys + number of girls
    =250 + 120
    =370

    (c) Simplify:

    To solve, start by grouping exponential terms

    Simplifying..
    Question 3

    (a) Let U be the universal set


    X – Number of students who passed integrated science
    Y – Number of students who passed Mathematics
    Solving this question requires the use of venn diagrams.
    From the informationtion given
    X n Y = 15
    9 more students passed mathematics than integrated science
    Hence Y = x+9

    Solving for x
    x+9-15+15+x-15=60
    2x-6=60
    2x=66
    X = 33

    Number of students who passed math only = x+9-15 = 27

    Number of students who passed science = 33-15 = 18

    Probability of passing only one subject = (18+27)/60 = 3/4

    (b) Factorize: xy+6x+3y+18.

    xy+6x+3y+18
    x(y+6)+3(y+6)
    (x+3)(y+6)

    Question. 4

    a. 250% =

    b. Using the knowledge that angles on a straight-line sum to 180, write an equation for the missing internal angles
    we solve this question by using a least known property of triangles shown in the image below.

    Hence

    C.

    D.
    Question . 5

    The relation is plotted on a graph sheet as shown below.

    (iv) gradient
    the gradient can be found from the graph using the formula below, choosing any 2 points on the line

    Equation of a line is given as


    Y = mx+Cw

    Where m is the gradient


    C is y intercept

    From the graph the y intercept is -3

    So the equation of the line

    Y=3x-3

    (b) Simplify: , leaving your answer in the form 2^n.


    Question. 6 (a).

    Marks frequency cumulative frequency


    1 1 1
    2 4 5
    3 3 8
    4 4 12
    5 2 14
    6 1 15
    7 7 22
    8 3 25

    (b) Find the:


    (i) mode of the distribution = 7
    (ii) median mark of the test = 5
    (iii) mean mark = 4.92
