Q Ans Solution

1 A L.H.S. = A(2x2 + 3) + 4(x + 3)2

= 2Ax2 + 3A + 4x2 + 24x + 36
= (2A + 4) + 24x + (3A + 36)
By compare the coefficients of like terms,
3A + 36 = 0  A = –12
2A + 4 = B
2(–12) + 4 = B

18 C Let ∠ACE be x.

Since EC bisects ∠ACD, ∠ACD = 2x.

Since ABCD is a rhombus, ∠ACB = ∠CAB = ∠CAE = 2x.

intercept of the graph of y = −f(x) is 6. The y-intercept of the graph of y = g(x) is 2. The
graph of y = g(x) can be obtained by translating the graph of y = −f(x) downward by 4 (= 6
