5. ANS: Let Kara s age in years be x. Then Leon s age in years is x 4, Max s age in years is x 3, and Norma s age in years is x 5. The sum of their ages is: x (x 4) (x 3) (x 5) 4x 4 Product of ages sum of ages = 59 912 So, x(x 4)(x 3)(x 5) (4x 4) 59 912 x(x 4)(x 3)(x 5) (4x 4) 59 912 0 x(x 4)(x 3)(x 5) 4x 59 908 0 Use a graphing calculator to graph the equation y x(x 4)(x 3)(x 5) 4x 59 908. Age cannot be negative, so the positive x-intercept, which is 17, represents Kara s age. So, Kara was 17 years old on that day. The ages of the other friends, in years, were: Leon: 17 4 21 Max: 17 3 14 Norma: 17 5 12 On January 9, 2011, Leon was 21, Max was 14, Norma was 12, and Kara was 17.

6. ANS: y x 2 7x 12 x 3 The denominator is x 3, so the graph has a non-permissible value of x at x 3. Factor: y (x 4)(x 3) x 3 Simplify: y x 4, x 3 So, the graph of the rational function is the line y x 4, with a hole at x 3. The y-coordinate of the hole is: y ( 3) 4, or 1. So, the hole has coordinates ( 3, 1). Draw the line y x 4 with an open circle at ( 3, 1). The function has domain x 3 and range y 1.

7. ANS: 3x y x 2 16 3x Factor: y (x 4)(x 4) The denominator has two binomial factors, x 4 and x 4, so the non-permissible values of x are x 4 and x 4. Since neither factor of the denominator is a factor of the numerator, the graph has vertical asymptotes at x 4 and x 4 The degree of the denominator is greater than the degree of the numerator, so there is a horizontal asymptote at y 0. Draw broken lines for the asymptotes. Determine the approximate coordinates of some points on the graph: ( 6, 0.9), ( 5, 1.67), ( 3, 1.29), (0, 0), (3, 1.29), (5, 1.67), (6, 0.9) Determine the behaviour of the graph close to the asymptotes. x 100 100 4.1 3.9 3.9 4.1 y 0.03 0.03 15.19 14.81 14.81 15.19 Join the points to form 3 smooth curves. y 3x x 2 16 The function has domain x 4 and range y ò.
