QUESTION 2

a) Solve the equations below:

i. 2x + 2 =6

2x= 6-2
2x= 4
x= 2

ii. x2 + 3x + 2 = 0

(x+2) (x+1)=0 or x+1=0

x+2=0 x=0-1
x= 0-2 x= -1
x=-2

iii. 3 - 2x -x2 = 0

(x+3) (x-1) =0 or x-1=0

x+3 =0 x=1
2=-3

iv. (3x)(92x) = 13
9

3x (3(2x)) == 13
3
x+4x+2=13
3(x+4x+2) =3x
5x=-2

 b) Sketch graph for a linear function of 2x + 4y = 12.

2x+4y=12

4y= -2x+12

4y= -2 x 12
4
= -2x + 12
4 4

= -1x +3 > y=intercept

2 1

2x+ (4(0) =12

2x+4(0) =12

2x=12

x= 12
2
x= 6 y

x
0 6

- The graph is descending line because the slope is negative.

QUESTION 3

Syarikat Maju Jaya produces calculator. They have fixed monthly expenses of RM1, 800 and
also have variable expenses of RM13 for each calculator that they produce. Syarikat Maju
Jaya sells each calculator for RM20. If q represents the quantity of product sold, determine:

Fixed cost =RM1800

Variable cost =13 unit
Price =RM20
Quantity =?

a) Revenue function
=Price x q
=Pq
=20q

b) Cost function
=Fixed cost+ variable cost
=13q+1800

c) Profit function
=R-c
=20q-(13q+1800)
=20q-13q+1800
=7q-1800

d) Quantity to be sold to obtain break-even point

=Fixed cost
Price-variable cost

BEP= 1800
20-13q

=1800
