[3] (b) If ax b bx , ( i ) make x the subject of the formula, [3] (ii) find the value of x, given that 1b and 3a . [2] 3 Jack invested $1000 at 3.5% simple interest for 15 years. Morgen invested $910 at 3.5% interest compounded annually for 15 years. Who had more money at the end of 15 years? Justify your answer clearly. [3] 4 (a) Solve the inequality 25 8x x , illustrating your answer on a number line. [3] (b) Express 1.36 as a fraction. [2] (c) Without the use of the calculator, estimate the value of 3 3 20.01 144.28 78.0388 13.996 to two significant figures, showing your working clearly.

An object moves from P to M in 10 seconds and then from M to Q at a speed of 16 m/s. Let the speed between P and M be x m/s. (i) Write down an expression in terms of x to represent the distance between P and M in metres. [1] (ii) Show that the time taken, in seconds, to travel from M to Q is 200 5 8 x . Hence, write down the total time taken for the entire journey in terms of x. [ 3 ] (iii) Given that the average speed for the entire journey is 20 m/s, form an equation in x and solve for x. [3]

Points D and E are points on AC and AB respectively such that ED is parallel to BC. F is another point on AC such that DEF CBD . Let CBD DEF x and BCD y . (i) Express BDC in terms of x and y and state the reason. [2] (ii) G i v e n t h a t 30x and 50y , find EFD . [2] (iii) Hence find another pair of parallel lines other than ED and BC. State the reason. [2] A B C D E F x y x 2y 5y 2x 157 70
4 9 HCI Student Entrepreneurial Club decided to raise fund for the school’s centennial celebrations. The club created its very own HCI pizza. The pan that was used to cook the pizza is in the shape of a cylinder. The pan has diameter of 35cm and height of 0.5cm. [Volume of sphere = 34 3 r , Volume of cylinder = 2rh , where r is the radius and h is the height] (i) Calculate the volume of the pan in cm 3, rounding your answer to the nearest integer. [2] (ii) The dough to fill the pan completely is in the shape of a sphe re. Find the radius of the sphere in cm, correct to one decimal place. [2] (iii) Calculate the curved surface area of the pan, correct to 3 sig nificant figures. [2] (iv) The club decided to sell the pizza at $10.50 each, which is at a profit of 25%. Find the cost price of a pizza. [2] 10 (Not examinable in 2020) A group of students were surveyed for their music preferences in J-pop (J), E-pop (E) or K- pop (K). The following results were obtained: 100 students preferred E-pop; 95 students preferred K-pop; 68 students preferred K-pop and E-pop; 52 students preferred J-pop and E-pop; 50 students preferred K-pop and J-pop; 40 students preferred all three types of music; 8 students preferred J-pop only; 25 students preferred none of the three types of music. (i) Illustrate the above information on a Venn diagram. [4] (ii) Calculate the number of stude nts who were surveyed. [2] (iii) On your Venn diagram, shade the set KE J . [1] 35 cm 0.5 cm HCI Pizza
