12. a) Adikini bought a television set for which the cash price was shs 599,000. She bought the television set on a hire purchase scheme and had to pay an extra shs71, 000. If she made eight equal monthly installments, how much did she pay per month?

b) Mukasa wants to buy a house which is priced at shs56, 000,000. A deposit of 25% of the value of the house is required. A bank will lend him the rest of the money at a compound interest of 15% per annum and payable after two years.

Calculate the:

(i) Deposit Mukasa must make.

(ii) Amount of money Mukasa will have to pay the bank after two years.

13. A club held swimming tests in Crawl (C), Backstroke (B) and Diving (D) for 72 members. Those who passed crawl were 49, 30 passed backstroke and 30 passed diving. 5 passed crawl and backstroke but not diving, 4 passed backstroke and diving but not crawl. 6 passed crawl and diving but not backstroke. 14 passed all the three tests.

a) Draw a Venn diagram to represent the given information.

b) Use the Venn diagram to find the number of members who:

(i) Passed the crawl test only.

(ii) Did not pass any test.

c) If a member is picked at random, what is the probability that the member passed two tests only?

14. Given that the point A has co-ordinates (-8, 6), vector AB = mathe_2008_4 and M is the mid point of AB;

a) Find the:

(i) Column vector AM.

(ii) Co-ordinates of M.

(iii) Magnitude of OM.

b) (i) Draw the vector AB on a graph paper.

(ii) From your graph, state the co-ordinates of B.

15. a) A unit square whose vertices are O(0, 0), I (1, 0), j(0, 1) and k(1, 1) is transformed by rotating through a positive quarter turn about the origin. Find the matrix for this transformation.

b) Give T = mathe_2008_5 and M = mathe_2008_6 , find the:

(i) Image of the points A (0, 3) and B (5, 3) under the transformation TM.

(ii) Matrix of transformation which will map the images of A and B back to their original positions.

16. a) copy and complete the table below for the equation y = 2x2 - 3x - 7,

 

x -11/2 -1 -1/2 0 1/2 1 11/2 2 21/2 3
2x2   2   0            
-3x   3   0            
-7   -7   -7            
y   -2   -7            

 

 

b)plot the points (x, y) obtained from the completed table on a graph paper using 2 cm to represent 1 unit on the x - axis and 1 cm to represent 1 unit on the y - axis.

Hence draw a graph for y = 2x2 - 3x - 7.

c) Use your graph to solve the equation: 2x2 - 3x - 8 = 0.
