Three business partners, Alice, Bob, and Chris, share monthly profits in the ratio \(A : B = 3 : 4\) and \(B : C = 5 : 2\). In a particular month, Chris receives £1,400 less than Alice. Calculate the total profit shared by the three partners in this month.
查看答案詳解

解題

First, we find a combined ratio for \(A : B : C\). We are given \(A : B = 3 : 4\) and \(B : C = 5 : 2\). To link these, we find a common multiple for \(B\), which is \(20\). Multiplying the terms of \(A : B\) by 5 gives \(15 : 20\). Multiplying the terms of \(B : C\) by 4 gives \(20 : 8\). Thus, the combined ratio is \(A : B : C = 15 : 20 : 8\). Let the shares be \(15x\), \(20x\), and \(8x\). Chris receives £1,400 less than Alice, so we can write the equation: \(15x - 8x = 1400\), which simplifies to \(7x = 1400\). Solving for \(x\) gives \(x = 200\). The total profit is the sum of all shares: \(15x + 20x + 8x = 43x\). Substituting \(x = 200\) gives \(43 \times 200 = 8600\). Therefore, the total profit shared is £8,600.

By completing the square, find the coordinates of the turning point of the curve with equation \(y = 3x^2 - 12x + 17\).
查看答案詳解

解題

To complete the square for \(3x^2 - 12x + 17\), we first factor out the coefficient of \(x^2\) from the first two terms: \(3(x^2 - 4x) + 17\). Next, we complete the square inside the bracket: \(x^2 - 4x = (x - 2)^2 - 4\). Substituting this back into the expression, we get: \(3[(x - 2)^2 - 4] + 17 = 3(x - 2)^2 - 12 + 17 = 3(x - 2)^2 + 5\). The completed square form is \(y = 3(x - 2)^2 + 5\). The coordinates of the turning point are given by making the squared term zero, which occurs when \(x = 2\), yielding \(y = 5\). Thus, the turning point is \((2, 5)\).

評分準則

M1: Factorises the first two terms by dividing by 3: \(3(x^2 - 4x) + 17\). M1: Completes the square inside the bracket: \((x - 2)^2 - 4\). M1: Expands and simplifies correctly to obtain the form \(3(x - 2)^2 + 5\). A1: Correctly identifies the turning point coordinates as \((2, 5)\) (accept \(x = 2, y = 5\)).

A vintage watch increases in value by 15% in 2021, and then decreases in value by 8% in 2022. At the end of 2022, the watch is valued at £4,232. Calculate the original value of the watch at the start of 2021.
查看答案詳解

解題

Let \(V\) be the original value of the watch. An increase of 15% is represented by the multiplier \(1.15\). A decrease of 8% is represented by the multiplier \(0.92\). The combined change over the two years can be written as: \(V \times 1.15 \times 0.92 = 4232\). First, calculate the combined multiplier: \(1.15 \times 0.92 = 1.058\). This gives the equation: \(1.058V = 4232\). To find the original value \(V\), we divide: \(V = \frac{4232}{1.058} = 4000\). Thus, the original value of the watch was £4,000.

評分準則

M1: Identifies correct multipliers for both changes: \(1.15\) and \(0.92\). A1: Calculates the combined multiplier as \(1.058\) (or equivalent fraction). M1: Sets up the equation \(1.058V = 4232\) and divides \(4232\) by their combined multiplier. A1: Correct final answer of 4000 (or £4000).

A rectangle has a length of \((2x + 3)\text{ cm}\) and a width of \((x - 1)\text{ cm}\). The area of the rectangle is \(35\text{ cm}^2\). Show that \(2x^2 + x - 38 = 0\) and find the positive value of \(x\), giving your answer to 2 decimal places.
查看答案詳解

解題

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length and width: \(\text{Area} = (2x + 3)(x - 1)\). Since the area is \(35\text{ cm}^2\), we write: \((2x + 3)(x - 1) = 35\). Expanding the brackets gives: \(2x^2 - 2x + 3x - 3 = 35 \implies 2x^2 + x - 3 = 35\). Subtracting 35 from both sides yields the required quadratic equation: \(2x^2 + x - 38 = 0\). Now, we solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\), where \(a = 2\), \(b = 1\), and \(c = -38\). This gives: \(x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 - 4 \times 2 \times (-38)}}{2 \times 2} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 304}}{4} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{305}}{4}\). Since we require the positive value for length, we choose the positive root: \(x = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{305}}{4} \approx \frac{-1 + 17.4642}{4} = \frac{16.4642}{4} \approx 4.116\). Rounding to 2 decimal places, we get \(x = 4.12\).

評分準則

M1: Formulates the area equation \((2x + 3)(x - 1) = 35\) and expands the brackets to reach \(2x^2 + x - 3 = 35\). M1: Rearranges the expanded equation to show clearly the step leading to \(2x^2 + x - 38 = 0\). M1: Substitutes the correct coefficients into the quadratic formula: \(x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 - 4 \times 2 \times (-38)}}{4}\). A1: Calculates the positive value of \(x\) to be 4.12 (accept only 4.12; negative root must be discarded or ignored).

A solid toy is made by joining a hemisphere of radius \(r\) to a right circular cylinder of radius \(r\) and height \(4r\). The total volume of the solid toy is \(1008\pi\text{ cm}^3\). Calculate the radius \(r\) of the toy.
查看答案詳解

解題

The total volume is the sum of the volume of the hemisphere and the volume of the cylinder. The volume of a hemisphere of radius \(r\) is \(V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\). The volume of a cylinder of radius \(r\) and height \(h\) is \(V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h\). Here, the height is \(4r\), so \(V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 (4r) = 4\pi r^3\). Adding these together gives the total volume: \(V_{\text{total}} = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + 4\pi r^3 = \left(\frac{2}{3} + \frac{12}{3}\right)\pi r^3 = \frac{14}{3}\pi r^3\). We are given that the total volume is \(1008\pi\text{ cm}^3\), so we write: \(\frac{14}{3}\pi r^3 = 1008\pi\). Dividing both sides by \(\pi\) gives: \(\frac{14}{3}r^3 = 1008\). Multiplying both sides by 3 and dividing by 14 gives: \(r^3 = 1008 \times \frac{3}{14} = 72 \times 3 = 216\). Taking the cube root of both sides gives: \(r = \sqrt[3]{216} = 6\text{ cm}\).

評分準則

M1: Correctly identifies or uses the formula for the volume of a hemisphere as \(\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\) or a cylinder as \(\pi r^2 (4r)\). M1: Sums the volumes to write a single algebraic expression in terms of \(\pi r^3\), e.g., \(\frac{14}{3}\pi r^3\) (or equivalent). M1: Equates their expression to \(1008\pi\) and solves for \(r^3\) to find \(r^3 = 216\). A1: Correctly finds the radius \(r = 6\).

It is given that \(y\) is inversely proportional to the square root of \(x\). When \(x = 16\), \(y = 9\). Find the value of \(x\) when \(y = 12\).
查看答案詳解

解題

Since \(y\) is inversely proportional to the square root of \(x\), we can write the relationship as: \(y = \frac{k}{\sqrt{x}}\) for some constant \(k\). We are given that when \(x = 16\), \(y = 9\). Substituting these values into our equation gives: \(9 = \frac{k}{\sqrt{16}} \implies 9 = \frac{k}{4}\). Solving for \(k\) gives: \(k = 9 \times 4 = 36\). Now we have the complete equation: \(y = \frac{36}{\sqrt{x}}\). To find the value of \(x\) when \(y = 12\), we substitute \(y = 12\) into the equation: \(12 = \frac{36}{\sqrt{x}} \implies \sqrt{x} = \frac{36}{12} \implies \sqrt{x} = 3\). Squaring both sides of the equation gives: \(x = 3^2 = 9\).

評分準則

M1: Sets up the correct proportional equation: \(y = \frac{k}{\sqrt{x}}\) or equivalent. M1: Substitutes \(x = 16\) and \(y = 9\) to correctly find the constant of proportionality \(k = 36\). M1: Substitutes \(y = 12\) and rearranges to find \(\sqrt{x} = 3\). A1: Correctly calculates \(x = 9\).

A piece of machinery was purchased for £25,000. Its value depreciates by 10% in the first year, and then by \(x\%\) each year for the next two years. At the end of the three years, the value of the machinery is £16,256.25. Find the value of \(x\).
查看答案詳解

解題

First, calculate the value of the machinery after the first year of 10% depreciation: \(25000 \times (1 - 0.10) = 25000 \times 0.90 = 22500\). For the next two years, the value depreciates by \(x\%\) per year. Let \(y = 1 - \frac{x}{100}\) be the multiplier for this depreciation. The value at the end of three years is given by: \(22500 \times y^2 = 16256.25\). Dividing both sides by \(22500\) gives: \(y^2 = \frac{16256.25}{22500} = 0.7225\). Taking the square root of both sides gives: \(y = \sqrt{0.7225} = 0.85\). Since \(y = 1 - \frac{x}{100} = 0.85\), we solve for \(x\): \(\frac{x}{100} = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15 \implies x = 15\). Thus, the depreciation rate for the next two years is 15%.

評分準則

M1: Calculates the depreciated value after the first year: \(25000 \times 0.90 = 22500\). M1: Sets up a correct compound depreciation equation for the remaining two years, e.g., \(22500 \times y^2 = 16256.25\). M1: Divides and finds the square root of the ratio, yielding \(y = 0.85\) or equivalent. A1: Correctly identifies the value of \(x\) as 15.

Line \(L_1\) passes through the points \((-2, 5)\) and \((4, 8)\). Line \(L_2\) is perpendicular to \(L_1\) and passes through the point \((3, -1)\). Find the equation of the line \(L_2\), giving your answer in the form \(ay + bx = c\) where \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are integers.
查看答案詳解

解題

First, we find the gradient \(m_1\) of line \(L_1\) using the formula \(m_1 = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\). Substituting the coordinates \((-2, 5)\) and \((4, 8)\) gives: \(m_1 = \frac{8 - 5}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\). Since line \(L_2\) is perpendicular to \(L_1\), its gradient \(m_2\) is the negative reciprocal of \(m_1\): \(m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1} = -2\). Now, using the point-slope formula \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\) for \(L_2\) through the point \((3, -1)\), we get: \(y - (-1) = -2(x - 3) \implies y + 1 = -2x + 6\). Rearranging this equation into the form \(ay + bx = c\) gives: \(y + 2x = 5\). Here, \(a = 1\), \(b = 2\), and \(c = 5\), which are all integers.

Find the coordinates of the points of intersection of the curve with equation \( y = x^2 - 3x - 4 \) and the line with equation \( y = 2x + 10 \).
查看答案詳解

解題

To find the points of intersection, equate the two equations: \( x^2 - 3x - 4 = 2x + 10 \). Rearranging into standard quadratic form gives: \( x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0 \). Factorising the quadratic equation: \( (x - 7)(x + 2) = 0 \). This gives the x-coordinates: \( x = 7 \) and \( x = -2 \). Substitute these back into the line equation to find the corresponding y-coordinates: For \( x = -2 \), \( y = 2(-2) + 10 = 6 \). For \( x = 7 \), \( y = 2(7) + 10 = 24 \). The points of intersection are \( (-2, 6) \) and \( (7, 24) \).

In a sale, the normal price of a laptop is reduced by 20%. Members of a store's loyalty club get an additional 10% off the sale price. Anaya is a member of the loyalty club and buys the laptop. She pays £576. Work out the normal price of the laptop.
查看答案詳解

解題

Let \( P \) be the normal price of the laptop. After a 20% reduction, the price is \( 0.8P \). The additional 10% reduction is applied to this sale price, giving a final price of \( 0.8P \times 0.9 = 0.72P \). We are given that the final price is £576, so: \( 0.72P = 576 \). Solving for \( P \): \( P = \frac{576}{0.72} = 800 \). The normal price of the laptop was £800.

A rectangle has length \( (2x + 5)\text{ cm} \) and width \( (x - 2)\text{ cm} \). The area of the rectangle is \( 18\text{ cm}^2 \). Find the perimeter of the rectangle. Show clear algebraic working.
查看答案詳解

解題

The area of the rectangle is given by multiplying length and width: \( (2x + 5)(x - 2) = 18 \). Expanding the brackets: \( 2x^2 - 4x + 5x - 10 = 18 \), which simplifies to \( 2x^2 + x - 10 = 18 \). Rearranging to equal zero: \( 2x^2 + x - 28 = 0 \). Factorising the quadratic equation: \( (2x - 7)(x + 4) = 0 \). This gives two possible solutions: \( x = 3.5 \) or \( x = -4 \). Since the width of the rectangle must be positive, \( x - 2 > 0 \), so we choose \( x = 3.5 \). Substituting \( x = 3.5 \) into the dimensions: Length = \( 2(3.5) + 5 = 12\text{ cm} \), Width = \( 3.5 - 2 = 1.5\text{ cm} \). The perimeter is \( 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) = 2 \times (12 + 1.5) = 2 \times 13.5 = 27\text{ cm} \).

A solid cylinder has radius \( r\text{ cm} \) and height \( 8\text{ cm} \). A solid sphere has radius \( r\text{ cm} \). The volume of the cylinder is equal to the volume of the sphere. Work out the total surface area of the cylinder. Give your answer as a multiple of \( \pi \).
查看答案詳解

解題

The volume of the cylinder is \( V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h = 8\pi r^2 \). The volume of the sphere is \( V_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \). Since the volumes are equal: \( 8\pi r^2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \). Divide both sides by \( \pi r^2 \) (since \( r \neq 0 \)): \( 8 = \frac{4}{3} r \), which simplifies to \( r = 6 \). The total surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula: \( A = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h \). Substituting \( r = 6 \) and \( h = 8 \): \( A = 2\pi (6)^2 + 2\pi (6)(8) = 72\pi + 96\pi = 168\pi \).

A school is planning an educational trip. The ratio of the number of students to teachers to guides is initially planned as \(18 : 2 : 1\).

The cost of a ticket is \(\pounds 12\) for a student and \(\pounds 15\) for a teacher, whilst guides receive free entry. There are 108 students booked on the trip.

Due to safety regulations, the school must change the ratios. The ratio of students to guides must now be \(12 : 1\), and the ratio of students to teachers must now be \(6 : 1\).

Calculate the percentage increase in the total cost of the tickets for the trip. Give your answer to 1 decimal place.
查看答案詳解

解題

1. **Find the original number of teachers and guides:**
Since there are 108 students and the initial ratio is \(18 : 2 : 1\):
- Multiplier = \(108 \div 18 = 6\)
- Number of teachers = \(2 \times 6 = 12\)
- Number of guides = \(1 \times 6 = 6\)

2. **Calculate the original total cost:**
- Cost of student tickets = \(108 \times \pounds 12 = \pounds 1296\)
- Cost of teacher tickets = \(12 \times \pounds 15 = \pounds 180\)
- Cost of guide tickets = \(6 \times \pounds 0 = \pounds 0\)
- Original total cost = \(1296 + 180 = \pounds 1476\)

3. **Find the new number of teachers and guides:**
Using the new ratios with the same 108 students:
- Ratio of students to guides is \(12 : 1\), so number of guides = \(108 \div 12 = 9\)
- Ratio of students to teachers is \(6 : 1\), so number of teachers = \(108 \div 6 = 18\)

4. **Calculate the new total cost:**
- Cost of student tickets = \(108 \times \pounds 12 = \pounds 1296\)
- Cost of teacher tickets = \(18 \times \pounds 15 = \pounds 270\)
- Cost of guide tickets = \(9 \times \pounds 0 = \pounds 0\)
- New total cost = \(1296 + 270 = \pounds 1566\)

5. **Calculate the percentage increase:**
- Increase in cost = \(1566 - 1476 = \pounds 90\)
- Percentage increase = \(\frac{90}{1476} \times 100 \approx 6.09756\%\)
- To 1 decimal place, the percentage increase is \(6.1\%\).

A solid metal cylinder has a radius of \(r\) cm and a height of \(4.5r\) cm.

The cylinder is melted down and completely recast into a single solid sphere of radius \(R\) cm, with no metal lost in the process.

Find the ratio of the total surface area of the sphere to the total surface area of the cylinder. Give your answer in its simplest integer form, \(a : b\).
查看答案詳解

解題

1. **Formulate the volume of the cylinder:**
\(V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h = \pi r^2 (4.5r) = 4.5\pi r^3 = \frac{9}{2}\pi r^3\)

2. **Equate this to the volume of the sphere to find the relation between \(R\) and \(r\):**
\(V_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3\)
Since volume is conserved:
\(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = \frac{9}{2}\pi r^3\)
Multiply by \(\frac{3}{4}\) and divide by \(\pi\):
\(R^3 = \frac{27}{8}r^3\)
Taking the cube root of both sides gives:
\(R = \frac{3}{2}r = 1.5r\)

3. **Find the total surface area of the cylinder:**
\(A_{\text{cylinder}} = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r (4.5r) = 2\pi r^2 + 9\pi r^2 = 11\pi r^2\)

4. **Find the surface area of the sphere:**
\(A_{\text{sphere}} = 4\pi R^2 = 4\pi (1.5r)^2 = 4\pi (2.25r^2) = 9\pi r^2\)

5. **Find the ratio of the surface area of the sphere to the total surface area of the cylinder:**
\(\text{Ratio} = \frac{A_{\text{sphere}}}{A_{\text{cylinder}}} = \frac{9\pi r^2}{11\pi r^2} = \frac{9}{11}\)
In its simplest integer form, the ratio is \(9 : 11\).

An investor buys a painting and a sculpture.

The painting costs 20% more than the sculpture.

One year later, the investor sells both items. The value of the painting has decreased by 15%, while the value of the sculpture has increased by 25%.

The investor sells the two items for a combined total of \(\pounds 10,215\).

Calculate the original cost of the painting.
查看答案詳解

解題

1. **Define the variables for the original costs:**
Let the original cost of the sculpture be \(S\).
Since the painting costs 20% more than the sculpture, the original cost of the painting is:
\(P = 1.2S\)

2. **Express the selling prices:**
- The painting's value decreased by 15%, so its selling price is:
\(P_{\text{sell}} = 0.85 \times P = 0.85 \times 1.2S = 1.02S\)
- The sculpture's value increased by 25%, so its selling price is:
\(S_{\text{sell}} = 1.25 \times S = 1.25S\)

3. **Set up the equation for the combined selling price:**
\(P_{\text{sell}} + S_{\text{sell}} = 10215\)
\(1.02S + 1.25S = 10215\)
\(2.27S = 10215\)

4. **Solve for \(S\):**
\(S = \frac{10215}{2.27} = 4500\)
So, the original cost of the sculpture was \(\pounds 4500\).

5. **Calculate the original cost of the painting:**
\(P = 1.2 \times 4500 = 5400\)
Thus, the original cost of the painting was \(\pounds 5400\).
