(a) the constants of proportionality and hence write the equation connecting C and n; (b) the cost of producing 10 items; (c) the number of items produced at a cost of Ksh 756. Form 3 Mathematics
The table below shows values of x and some values of y for the curve y = x3 + 2x2 - 3x – 4 f o r - 3 ≤ x ≤ 2.
(a) Complete the table by filling in the missing values of y, correct to 1 decimal place.
(b) On the grid provided, draw the graph of y = x3+ 2x2 - 3x - 4. Use the scale: 1 cm represents 0.5 units on x -axis. 1 cm represents 1 unit on y-axis. (c) Use the graph to: (i) solve the equation x3 + 2x2 - 3x - 4 = 0; (ii) estimate the coordinates of the turning points of the curve. Form 3 Mathematics
A parent has two children whose age difference is 5 years. Twice the sum of the ages of the two children is equal to the age of the parent.
(a) Taking x to be the age of the elder child, write an expression for: (i) the age of the younger child; (ii) the age of the parent. (b) In twenty years time, the product of the children's ages will be 15 times the age of their parent. (i) Form an equation in x and hence determine the present possible ages of the elder child. (ii) Find the present possible ages of the parent. (iii) Determine the possible ages of the younger child in 20 years time. Form 3 Mathematics
A hail can accommodate 600 chairs arranged in rows. Each row has the same number of chairs. The chairs are rearranged such that the number of rows are increased by 5 but the number of chairs per row is decreased by 6.
