Write in dark blue or black pen.
You may use a pencil for any diagrams or graphs.
Do not use staples, paper clips, highlighters, glue or correction fluid.

Answer all questions.

If working is required for any question, it must be shown with the answer.
Omission of essential working will result in loss of marks.
The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate.
If the degree of accuracy is not specified in the question, and if the answer is not exact, give your
answer to three significant figures. Give answer in degrees to one decimal place.
For , use either your calculator value or 3.142, unless the question requires the answer in terms
of .

9. (a) Darren factorises the expression 28𝑐𝑡 − 20𝑐𝑧 − 4𝑐 as follows:

28𝑐𝑡 − 20𝑐𝑧 − 4𝑐 = 4𝑐(7𝑡) − 4𝑐(5𝑧) − 4𝑐

= 4𝑐(7𝑡 − 5𝑧)

Darren has made a mistake in his factorisation above. Identify the error by showing how you
can factorise the expression correctly.

12. The tickets for a concert were priced at $4, $8 or $12. The number of $4 tickets sold was 30
1
more than twice the number of $8 tickets sold. The number of $12 tickets sold was of the
5
number of $4 tickets sold.

(a) Letting the number of $8 tickets sold be r, express the number of $4 and $12 tickets
sold respectively, in terms of r.

Answer (a) Number of $ 4 tickets: _______________________[1]

Number of $ 12 tickets: _______________________[1]

(b) Hence, form an algebraic equation in r, if a total of 2050 tickets were sold and show
that it reduces to 17𝑟 + 180 = 10250.
