    Question 1
    Use elimination to solve the simultaneous equations
    6x − 15y = − 1
    9x + 20y = 7
    [4 marks]

    Question 2
    Use substitution to solve the simultaneous equations
    4x + 3y = 1
    5y − 2x = − 1
    [4 marks]

    Question 3
    Solve the simultaneous equations
    4x 2 + 2x − 6y = 4
    2x − 3y = − 1

    Question 5a
    By eliminating y from the equations
    11
    8y 2 − 3x 2 − 4x = −
    2
    3x + 4y = 1
    show that 3x 2 − 14x + 12 = 0 .
    [2 marks]

    Question 5b
    Hence solve the simultaneous equations
    11
    8y 2 − 3x 2 − 4x = −
    2
    3x + 4y = 1

    giving x and y in the form a ± b c , where a and b are rational numbers and c is a prime number.

    [4 marks]

    Question 6b
    For what value of the constant k do the equations not have a solution?
    [1 mark]

    Question 7a
    x 2 + 2y 2 = 25
    x −y =k

    Question 8a
    The goal in a video game is to have a unicorn leap as far as possible in a horizontal direction without being destroyed by the
    death ray that is being fired overhead. You hack into the game code and find that the height of the unicorn, h , is being
    modelled in relation to the horizontal distance from the point it jumps by the quadratic equation h = − 0 . 02x (x − k ) , where
    k ≥ 0 is a parameter that can be controlled by the player’s actions, and x is the horizontal distance in metres. You also find
    that the path of the death ray is being modelled by the equation x + 5h = 25.

    The value of h can never be less than zero, and if the path of the unicorn crosses or touches the path of the death ray, the
    unicorn is considered to have been destroyed.
    Ignoring the problem of the death ray, explain why the parameter k represents the horizontal distance leapt by the unicorn.
    [2 marks]

    Question 8b
    Your friend’s personal best in the game is a leap of 21.5 m without the unicorn being destroyed. He is determined to keep
    playing until his unicorn has leapt 22 m safely. Determine whether or not your friend has a chance of reaching this goal.
