Q21 of 27 Page 1

3 bells ring at an interval of 4,7 and 14 minutes. All three bell rang at 6 am, when the three balls will the ring together next?

Prime factorizing 4, 7 and 14 to find their LCM.


4 = 2 × 2


7 = 7 × 1


14 = 2 × 7


LCM = 2 × 2 × 7 = 28


The three bells will ring together again at 6:28 am

SUN ROOM


The diagrams show the plans for a sun room. It will be built onto the wall of a house. The four walls of the sunroom are square clear glass panels. The roof is made using


• Four clear glass panels, trapezium in shape, all the same size


• One tinted glass panel, half a regular octagon in shape



(a) Refer to Top View

(ii) (3/2,1/2)


(iii)(15/2,33/2)


(iv) (1/2,3/2)


(b) Refer to Top View


The distance of the point P from the y-axis is

Applications of Parabolas-Highway Overpasses/Underpasses


A highway underpass is parabolic in shape.




Parabola


A parabola is the graph that results from p(x)=ax2+bx+c


Parabolas are symmetric about a vertical line known as the Axis of Symmetry.


The Axis of Symmetry runs through the maximum or minimum point of the parabola which is called the Vertex



(a) If the highway overpass is represented by x2 – 2x – 8. Then its zeroes are


(i) (2,-4) (ii) (4,-2) (iii) (-2,-2) (iv) (-4,-4)


(b) The highway overpass is represented graphically.


Zeroes of a polynomial can be expressed graphically. Number of zeroes of polynomial is equal to number of points where the graph of polynomial


(i) Intersects x-axis


(ii) Intersects y-axis


(iii) Intersects y-axis or x-axis


(iv)None of the above


(c) Graph of a quadratic polynomial is a


(i) straight line


(ii) circle


(iii)parabola


(iv)ellipse


(d) The representation of Highway Underpass whose one zero is 6 and sum of the zeroes is 0, is


(i) x2 – 6x + 2


(ii) x2 – 36


(iii)x2 – 6


(iv)x2 – 3


(e) The number of real zeroes that polynomial f(x) = (x – 2)2 + 4 can have is:


(i)1


(ii) 2


(iii) 0


(iv) 3
