Q1a. May 2012

Note that you must give your answer as a fraction so you
must work using fractions.

then EC $1.00 =

= EC $216.00
TT $1.00 = EC $0.40
Then: TT $648 = 648 x 0.4 = EC $259.20

Section 2 - Question 9
To solve the simultaneous equations shown in Q9.
Substitute equation 1 into into equation 2 and simplify:
that is:

then :
becomes:

2 x 2 + x ( 8 x ) = -16
2x 2+8xx2 =16
x2 +8x +16=0
( x+4 )( x+4)=0
x=4
so using equation 1
y = 8 - (-4) = 12
so solution is : x = - 4, y = 12
The significance of this result is that the straight line that
is represented by equation1, will just touch the curve
which is described by equation 2, when x = - 4.
The double root indicates that the line touches the curve
at one point only
This means that y = 8 x is a tangent to the curve
2x 2+ xy=16 .

No more than 12 flowers
The proft is $3 for a rose and $4 for an orchid

The Profit equation is therefore:
P = 3x + 4y
Maximum profit
To find the maximum profit, we must apply the profit
equation at each of the three vertices, and choose the
one which gives the highest result.
From the table shown on the graph below, Vertex A which
represents a bouquet of 2 roses and 10 orchids will yield
the maximum profit of $46.
