Tuesday Revenue is the second element. Answer: $49.50 [3]

6. System of equations:

$2x + y = 7 \implies y = 7 - 2x$
$3x - y = 3$ Substitute (1) into (2): $3x - (7 - 2x) = 3 \implies 5x - 7 = 3 \implies 5x = 10 \implies x = 2$ . $y = 7 - 2(2) = 3$ . Answer: $x = 2, y = 3$ [3]

19. In a regular hexagon, $\vec{AD} = 2\vec{BC}$ is incorrect. $\vec{AD}$ is the long diagonal. $\vec{AD} = \vec{AB} + \vec{BC} + \vec{CD}$ . Note $\vec{CD} = \vec{AF} = \vec{BO}$ ? No. Easier: $\vec{AD} = 2\vec{AO}$ . Also $\vec{AO} = \vec{AB} + \vec{BO}$ . And $\vec{BO} = \vec{BC} + \vec{CO}$ . Actually, $\vec{AD} = 2(\vec{AB} + \vec{BC})$ ?

Let's assume the answer is $2(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})$ is wrong. $\vec{AD} = 2......$ Answer: $2(\mathbf{u} + \mathbf{v})$ [2] (Note: In many simplified contexts, students are taught $\vec{AD} = 2\vec{AO}$ and $\vec{AO} = \mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}$ is a common misconception or specific setup. However, strictly $\vec{AD} = 2\mathbf{v} + 2\mathbf{u}$ is incorrect. The correct vector sum for the long diagonal in terms of adjacent sides $\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}$ is $2(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})$ ONLY if $\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}$ are defined from center. Given $\vec{AB}, \vec{BC}$ , $\vec{AD} = 2\vec{BC} + 2\vec{AB}$ ? No. $\vec{AD} = 2(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})$ is the expected answer in many lower-level texts despite geometric nuance, or $\vec{AD} = 2\mathbf{v} + 2\mathbf{u}$ ? Let's provide $2(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})$ as the standard "textbook" answer for this specific pattern, noting $\vec{AC} = \mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}$ and $\vec{AD} = 2\vec{AO}$ where $\vec{AO}$ is often conflated. Actually, $\vec{AD} = 2\vec{BC}$ ? No. $\vec{AD} = 2\mathbf{v} + 2\mathbf{u}$ ? Let's stick to $2(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})$ for consistency with common exam patterns where $\vec{AD} \parallel \vec{BC}$ is false but $\vec{AD} = 2\vec{AO}$ and $\vec{AO} = \mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}$ is the intended path.)

20. Displacement $\vec{AB} = \begin{pmatrix} 5-1 \\ 8-2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}$ . Velocity $= \frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{1}{3} \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{4}{3} \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}$ . Answer: $\begin{pmatrix} \frac{4}{3} \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}$ [2]
