F.2Mathematics - Paper 2 Solutions


1.
The answer is B.

= 0.605 633… = 0.605 6, cor. to 4 sig. fig.

2.
The answer is A.

3.
The answer is B.

Maximum absolute error

Lower limit of the actual weight

Upper limit of the actual weight

∴ 49.5 kg  actual weight < 50.5 kg


∴ The actual weight could be 49.5 kg, but not 49.3 kg, 50.5 kg or 50.8 kg.

4.
The answer is C.
For the measured weight of n clips:

Maximum absolute error = g = 2.5 g

Upper limit of the actual weight = (45 + 2.5) g = 47.5 g


For the measured weight of each clip:

Maximum absolute error = g = 0.005 g

Lower limit of the actual weight = (0.15 – 0.005) g = 0.145 g

n=

= 327.586 …
∴ The greatest possible value of n is 327.

5.
The answer is D.
Let y km/h be the maximum absolute error.

∴
∴
The maximum absolute error is 0.2 km/h.
The range of values of x is
44.0 – 0.2  x < 44.0 + 0.2
i.e. 43.8  x < 44.2

6.
The answer is B.
P 5m
U

S
3m T
5m

3m

Q X
R

Refer to the notations in the figure.

Maximum absolute error = m

= 0.5 m
Lower limit of the actual area of PQXU = (5 – 0.5)2 m2 = 20.25 m2
Upper limit of the actual area of PQXU = (5 + 0.5)2 m2 = 30.25 m2
Lower limit of the actual area of SRXT = (3 – 0.5)2 m2 = 6.25 m2
Upper limit of the actual area of SRXT = (3 + 0.5)2 m2 = 12.25 m2
∴ Lower limit of the value of x = 20.25 – 12.25 = 8
Upper limit of the value of x = 30.25 – 6.25 = 24
∴ The range of values of x is 8 < x < 24.

7.

The answer is D.

= 12y10  4
= 12y6

8.
The answer is A.
(xy – 6) + (4y + x)(–5x) = xy – 6 + (–20xy – 5x2)
= xy – 6 – 20xy – 5x2
= –6 – 19xy – 5x2

9.
The answer is C.
Consider the polynomial in C.
∵ The term with the highest degree is 6x5 and its degree is 5.
∴ The degree of the polynomial is 5.
∴ C is not true.

10.
The answer is C.

11.
The answer is C.
(a2 + ab  2b2) + (3a2  4ab + 2b2)
= a2 + ab  2b2  3a2  4ab + 2b2
= a2  3a2 + ab  4ab  2b2 + 2b2
= 2a2  3ab

12.
The answer is A.
5x  25y = 5x  (52)y
= 5x  52y
= 5x + 2y

3
13.
The answer is A.
When x = –2 and y = 1,
the value of the polynomial = 2(2)3  3(2)2(1) + 4(2)(1)2
= 2(8)  3(4) + 4(2)
= 16  12  8
= 36

14.
The answer is C.
2ax  5by  bx + 10ay = 2ax  bx + 10ay  5by
= x(2a  b) + 5y(2a  b)
= (2a  b)(x + 5y)

15.

The answer is B.
(x + y)(x – y)(y – 1)
= (x2 – y2)(y – 1)
= (x2 – y2)(y) – (x2 – y2)
= x2y – y3 – x2 + y2

4
16.
The answer is B.
I: L.H.S. = −(x − 9)
= −x + 9
R.H.S. = −x − 9
∵ L.H.S.  R.H.S.
∴ −(x − 9) = −x − 9 is not an identity.
II: L.H.S. =

R.H.S. =
∵ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ 
III: L.H.S. = 5x(x + 4) − 20
= 5x2 + 20x − 20
R.H.S. = 5x2
∵ L.H.S.  R.H.S.
∴ 5x(x + 4) − 20 = 5x2 is not an identity.
∴ Only the equations in I and III are not identities.

17.
The answer is B.
(4 + a)(a − 4) = (a + 4)(a − 4)
= a2 − 42
= a2 − 16

18.
The answer is D.
(7h + 5k)2

5
19.
The answer is D.
(−5 + 5n)2 – 5n = (−5)2 + 2(−5)(5n) + (5n)2 – 5n
= 25 − 50n + 25n2 – 5n
= 25 − 55n + 25n2

20.
The answer is A.
L.H.S. = (2x − 1)(−2x − 1)
= (−1 + 2x)(−1 − 2x)
= (−1)2 − (2x)2
= 1 − 4x2
= −4x2 + 1
∴ −4x2 + 1 ≡ −4x2 + Ax + B
Comparing like terms on both sides, we have
A=0
B=1

21.
The answer is C.
L.H.S. = qx − p(x − 2)2
= qx − p(x − 2)(x − 2)
= qx − p[(x − 2)x − (x − 2)(2)]
= qx − p(x2 − 2x − 2x + 4)
= qx − p(x2 − 4x + 4)
= qx − px2 + 4px  4p

∴ −px2 + (q + 4p)x − 4p ≡ 3x2 + 12


= −px2 + (q + 4p)x − 4p

Comparing like terms on both sides, we have


−p = 3
p = −3
q + 4p = 0
q + 4(−3) = 0
q − 12 = 0
q = 12

25.
The answer is D.

3  2m = 4n
3  4n = 2m

i.e.

26.
The answer is D.

ab = 3(b  1)
ab = 3b  3
3 = 3b  ab
3 = b(3  a)

i.e.

27.
The answer is A.

Substitute (1) into (2).


x + 2(3x + 2)  11 = 0
x + 6x + 4  11 = 0
7x = 7
x=1
Substitute x = 1 into (1).
y = 3(1) + 2

∴ The solution is x = 1, y = 5.
=5

8
28.
The answer is D.
Substitute each of the ordered pairs into the equation y = 3x  5.
A: L.H.S. = 1
R.H.S. = 3(2)  5 = 11
∴ L.H.S.  R.H.S.
B: L.H.S. = 2
R.H.S. = 3(1)  5 = 8
∴ L.H.S.  R.H.S.
C: L.H.S. = 0
R.H.S. = 3(5)  5 = 20
∴ L.H.S.  R.H.S.
D: L.H.S. = 4
R.H.S. = 3(3)  5 = 4
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ Only the ordered pair in D satisfies the equation y = 3x  5.
i.e. Only the point in D lies on the graph of the equation y = 3x  5.

29.

∵ The graph passes through P(m + 8 , m).


The answer is B.

∴ The ordered pair (m + 8 , m) satisfies the equation 3x + y = 12.


Substitute x = m + 8 and y = m into 3x + y = 12.
3(m + 8) + m = 12
3m + 24 + m = 12
4m = 12
m = 3

30.
The answer is C.
Substitute x = 2 and y = n into y = 2  2x.
n = 2  2(2)
= 2
∴ The coordinates of P are (2 , 2).
Substitute x = 2 and y = 2 into x  3y = m.
2  3(2) = m
m=8

9
31.
The answer is D.
Rewrite the given equations as:

From (2), y = 2x  11............................(3)


Substitute (3) into (1).
5x + 2(2x  11)  3 = 11
5x + 4x  22  3 = 11
9x = 36
x=4

32.
The answer is A.
Let x be the present age of Charles and y be the present age of James.

Substitute (1) into (2).


x + x = 21

= 21
x = 12
Substitute x = 12 into (1).
y=

∴ Charles is 12 years old and James is 9 years old now.


=9

12  9 = 3
∴ Charles was 3 years old when James was born.

10
33.
The answer is C.
Let $x be the price of a cake and $y be the price of an ice cream cone.

From (2), y = .....................(3)


Substitute (3) into (1).
5x + 6 = 172

5x + = 172
25x + 18x = 860
43x = 860
x = 20
∴ The price of a cake is $20.
