TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Mathematics Secondary 2 (Version 2) Answer Key

Total Marks: 40

Section A Answers

1. $f(4) = 3(4) - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7$ . [1]
Teaching note: Substitute $x=4$ into $f(x)=3x-5$ . Function notation means replace $x$ with the given value.

2. $g(-3) = (-3)^2 + 2(-3) = 9 - 6 = 3$ . [1]
Teaching note: Square first: $(-3)^2=9$ , then $2\times(-3)=-6$ .

3. $y = kx$ ; $20 = k\times5 \Rightarrow k=4$ ; so $y = 4x$ . [1]
Teaching note: Direct proportion means $y=kx$ . Find $k$ from given pair.

4. $P = \frac{k}{q} \Rightarrow 6 = \frac{k}{4} \Rightarrow k = 24$ . [1]
Teaching note: Inverse proportion form used; multiply both sides by 4.

5. $(x-2)(x-3)=0 \Rightarrow x=2$ or $x=3$ . [1]
Teaching note: Factor pairs of 6 that sum to -5 are -2 and -3.

6. $2x = 12 \Rightarrow x = 6$ . [1]
Teaching note: Subtract 7, then divide by 2.

7. $4x+1=9 \Rightarrow 4x=8 \Rightarrow x=2$ . [1]
Teaching note: Set function equal to 9 and solve.

8. $A = kr^2$ ; $18 = k\times9 \Rightarrow k=2$ ; $A = 2r^2$ . [1]
Teaching note: "Square of $r$ " means $r^2$ .

Section B Answers

9.
(a) $m = k\sqrt{n}$ ; $10 = k\sqrt{25} = 5k \Rightarrow k=2$ ; $m = 2\sqrt{n}$ . [2]
(b) $m = 2\sqrt{64} = 2\times8 = 16$ . [1]
Teaching note: M1 for correct form, M1 for $k$ , A1 for (b).

10. [3]
Eq1: $x+2y=7$
Eq2: $3x-y=4$
From Eq2: $y = 3x-4$
Sub into Eq1: $x + 2(3x-4) = 7 \Rightarrow 7x - 8 = 7 \Rightarrow 7x = 15 \Rightarrow x = \frac{15}{7}$
$y = 3(\frac{15}{7})-4 = \frac{45}{7} - \frac{28}{7} = \frac{17}{7}$
Answer: $x=\frac{15}{7}, y=\frac{17}{7}$ .
Marking: M1 substitution, M1 solve, A1 both correct.

11. [3]
$x^2+8x+15 = 40 \Rightarrow x^2+8x-25=0$
$(x+?)(x-?) = 0$ ; factors of -25 diff 8: 10 and -2? No. Use: $(x+10)(x-2)= x^2+8x-20$ no. Actually solve: discriminant $64+100=164$ not neat. Let's use area 40 with given sides: $(x+5)(x+3)=40 \Rightarrow x^2+8x+15=40 \Rightarrow x^2+8x-25=0$ . Use formula: $x = \frac{-8\pm\sqrt{164}}{2} = -4\pm\sqrt{41}$ . Positive: $x = -4+\sqrt{41}\approx 2.40$ . Length $\approx 7.40$ m, width $\approx 5.40$ m.
Note: For Sec 2, accept factorisable version; here we show method. If intended integer, use area 30: but per question 40, answer as above.

12. [3]
$(t+5)(t-7)=55 \Rightarrow t^2 -2t -35 =55 \Rightarrow t^2 -2t -90=0$
Factors of -90 diff 2: -10 and 9? sum -1 no. Use formula: $t = \frac{2\pm\sqrt{4+360}}{2} = 1\pm\sqrt{91}$ . Valid positive: $t = 1+\sqrt{91}$ .
Marking: M1 expand, M1 rearrange, A1 solution.

13.
(a) $g(2)=4-3=1$ ; $f(1)=2(1)+1=3$ . [2]
(b) $f(-1)=-2+1=-1$ ; $g(-1)=1-3=-2$ . [2]

14.
(a) $y = \frac{k}{x^2}$ ; $12 = \frac{k}{4} \Rightarrow k=48$ ; $y=\frac{48}{x^2}$ . [2]
(b) $y = 48/16 = 3$ . [1]

Section C Answers

15. [4]
$3x+2y=34$ (1)
$5x+y=43$ (2)
From (2): $y=43-5x$
Sub (1): $3x+2(43-5x)=34 \Rightarrow 3x+86-10x=34 \Rightarrow -7x=-52 \Rightarrow x=\frac{52}{7}\approx 7.43$
$y=43-5(52/7)= (301-260)/7=41/7\approx 5.86$
Marking: 2 for equations, 2 for solve.

16. [3]
$T^2-4T-32=0 \Rightarrow (T-8)(T+4)=0 \Rightarrow T=8$ or $T=-4$ . Valid $T=8$ min.
Marking: M1 factor, M1 solve, A1 reject negative.

17. [2]
$k(x)=2x+3$ ; $h(k(x)) = 5-(2x+3)=2-2x=0 \Rightarrow x=1$ .

18. [3]
$(2x+1)(x+2)=36 \Rightarrow 2x^2+5x+2=36 \Rightarrow 2x^2+5x-34=0$
Discriminant $25+272=297$ ; $x = \frac{-5\pm\sqrt{297}}{4}$ ; positive $x\approx 2.81$ . Length $\approx 6.62$ cm, width $\approx 4.81$ cm.
Marking: M1 eq, M1 solve, A1 dimensions.

19. [1]
$W=kv^3$ ; $16=k\times8 \Rightarrow k=2$ ; $W=2\times27=54$ .

20. [1]
$5=a+b$ ; $11=3a+b$ ; subtract: $2a=6 \Rightarrow a=3, b=2$ .
