A.

Consider the polynomials:

E (x )  4x 2  9  (2x  3) 2  (3  2x )( x  5)
F (x )  (2x  3)(x  1)
1. Factorize E (x ), using first degree factors.
2. Solve the equation E (x )  2x  3

F (x )
Solve the equation A (x )  2

B.
Two real numbers a and b are given so that:
ab  2 3 and a  b  2  2 3
Calculate the following:
1. a 2b  ab 2
2.(a  2)(b  2)
3. a 2  b 2

C. O is the intersection of two perpendicular lines (D) and (D’). (S) is a circle with center O and
radius 4cm. (S) intersects (D) at A and B, and (D’) at E and F.
M is a point of (S) distinct from A. (AM) intersects (D’) at N.
a) Make a figure.
b) Prove that the triangles AON and AMB are similar.
c) Calculate AM x AN.

D. Sami wants to rent a car. He receives two offers A and B.

Deposit Charge per km

Offer A 65 000 L.P 500 L.P
Offer B 55 000 L.P 540 L.P

Let x km be the distance traveled by Sami.

a) Find in terms of x the amount that Sami must pay for each of the two offers.
b) What should the traveled distance for the amount paid in A to be equal to that paid in
B?
c) Determine x so that offer A is cheaper than offer B.
d) Interpret graphically the preceding results.
