Solution: The quadratic function is minimized at x = 2, thus (x = 2) y = 2Ax B = 0 4A = B. y = Ax2 4Ax + C x = -2 41 = 4A + 8A + C 12 A + C = 41 x = 5 20 = 25A 20A + C 5A + C = 20 Solving the equation, A = 3, C = 5, and B = 4A = 12. 1 Reconstructing the equation y = 3x2 12x + 5, the minimum value of this function is obtained when x = 2, and y = 3(2)2 12.(2) + 5 = 12 24 + 5 = -7.
x1, 2
x2 = 2 2x, substituting to P = (x).(2 2x) + (2 2x) + ax + 1 P = -2x2 + ax + 3 Subtituting x = -1 3 to P, well get P = 21 23 + 3 + 1 3 + 3 Note that in order to obtain rational number, ( + 4) = 0 so = 4. P = (5 ) ( + 4)3
Value of P = (5 (4)) = 1.
Solution: (i) x 2 3 x 10 < 0 ( x 5).( x + 2) < 0 Choosing x = 0 -10 < 0 (True) Thus the solution of the equation is {x | -2 < x < 5 ,xR}. A = (2) and B = (1) (ii) | x 2 |< a 2 x < a < x 2 {for x > 0} or x 2 < a < 2 x {for x < 0} When x = -2, thus 4 < a < 4, and when x =5, thus -3 < a < 3. In order to solve the equation, well get a 4 and a 4. Note that a is a positive real number, so well get a 4 as the only solution. C = (6)
(iii) When the set is reversed, we want to find the value of a which is a sufficient condition to
Solution: Literally, there is at least two kind of approaches to this problem. Well see the both kind of First, the probability of the largest number is 4 or less = 1 3. . . 3. . . . . =

Solution: Its easily noted that AG. AE = AD2 = AF2 (Using the tangent of circumscribed circle) Well get

Note that BD = BE and CF = EC so that BC = BE + EC = BD + CF = 6. Thus well get B = 6. 6 Using the cosine rule BC2 = AB2 + AC2 2. . . ; cos 60 =
