x – 2y – 2z = –7
2x + (a – 9)y – 10z = –11
3x – 6y + 2az = –29
has a unique solution. Show that the number of solutions is infinite when a = 5 . [5 marks]

(b) A student has been saving 10 cent, 20 cent and 50 cent coins in a moneybox.
When she opened the box after one month, she found the amount saved is
RM15 and the number of 10 cent coins equals the total number of 20 cent and
50 cent coins. She also found that only half as many coins is needed to save
the same amount using just 50 cent coins. Using Gaussian elimination [4 marks]
method, find the number of 10 cent, 20 cent and 50 cent coins in the
moneybox.

in
sea level, the area of the island decreases gradually every year. At the end of
2
2015, the area decrement is 60 km . Two companies, A and B, are engaged to
study the trend in the area decrement of Singadives. [2 marks]
According to Company A, the area decrement in each subsequent year is 5
km 2 less than of the previous year. Find the area of Singadives at the end of
2023.

(i) Find the total area decrement in the first n year.
(ii) At the end of which year will the area of Singadives first fall below [2 marks]
