QUESTION 1
1.1 2; 4; 10; 20 (3) 4; 10; 20
1.2 2a = 4
a=2 a=2
3a + b = 2
3(2) + b = 2
6 +b=2
b = -4 (OR OTHERWISE) b = -4
a+b+c=2
2–4+c=2
c=4 c=4
Tn = an2 + bn + c
Tn = 2n2 – 4n + 4 (4) Tn = 2n2–4n+4

QUESTION 2
2.1 × 36 600 OR 36 600 – 12,5% (36 600) 87,5 or 12,5%
= 32 025 = 32 025 (2) answer
2.2 Increase = 41 109 – 36 600
= 4509 4509
Percentage increase = × 100
= 12,32% (2) answer
2.3 Average monthly sales = 36 578
= 36 578
No, because 36 578 ˂ 37 000 (2) No/reason

P(A) + P(B) P(A B)
NOT mutually exclusive events (3) conclusion
4 MATHEMATICS P3 (SEPTEMBER 2012)
4.1.3 For independent events: probability rule
P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B)
P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B) = P(A B) expansion
0,4 + 0,5 – P(A∩B) = 0,7
- P(A∩B) = -0,2
P(A∩B) = 0,2
P(A) × P(B) = 0,4 × 0,5
= 0,2 answer
P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B)

Construction: Make O the centre of the circle. Draw radii BO and DO construction
To prove: ̂ + ̂ = 180°
Proof: ̂2 = 2 ̂ (angle at centre = 2 × angle at circumf.) statement/reason
̂1 = 2 ̂ (angle at centre = 2 × angle at circumf.) statement/reason
̂ 2 + ̂ 1 = 360° (sum of angles around a point = 360°) statement/reason
2 ̂ + 2 ̂ = 360°
2( ̂ + ̂ ) = 360°
̂ +̂ =
