  5. A ship left port A (11º N, 32º W) and sailed due west to another port B. The journey took 160 hours at an average speed of 28 knots. Given that radius of the earth is 6370km and π = 22⁄7
    1. Calculate the distance between A and B
      1. In nautical miles (2mks)
        21 jagbuya
        D = s × T
        28 × 160 = 4480nm
      2. In km (2mks)
        4480 × 1.853 = 8301.44 km
    2. Calculate the average speed of the ship in km/h correct to 2d.p (2mks)
      S = D
            T
      = 8301.44
           160
      = 51.88 km/h
    3. Calculate to the nearest whole number the longitude of port B and hence state its position (4mks)
      4480  = O × 60 × cos11
      O = 4480
      60
       × 0.9816
      = 76.06
      = 76º
      longitude diff = x - 32 = 76
      x = 108º
      (11ºN, 108ºW)

    The right pyramid above (not drawn to scale) has AB = 12 cm and BC = 16 cm. O is the centre of the base with OV = 15 cm.
    Calculate, giving your answer to four significant figures.
    1. The length of the slant edge (2mks)
      AC = √122 + 182
      =20 cm
      AV = √102 + 152
      √325
      = 18.03 cm
    2. The angle between the lines VA and VC (2mks)
      Tan σ = 10 = 0.6667
                   15
      σ = Tan-1 0.6667
      = 33.69º
    3. The angle between the plane ABV and the base ABCD (3mks)
      vx = √18.032 - 62
      = 17.00
      cos B =   18    
                   1700
      β = cos-1    18    
                      1700
      β = cos-1 0.4706
      β = 61.93º
    4. The pyramid is chopped at point T to form a frustum such T divides OV in the ration 2:1. Find the volume of the frustum. (3mks)
      1/3AH = 1/3 × 16 × 12 × 15 = 960cm3
      1/3AH = 1/3 × 4 × 16/3 × 5 = 35.56 cm3
      V of frustrum = 960 - 35.56
      = 924.44cm3
  7. The figure below shows the sketch of the curve y = x2 - 2x + 4and a straight line PQ which cuts the x-axis and the y-axis at the points (10, 0) (0, 10) respectively.
    The line also intersects the curve at P and Q

    Find.
    1.                                  
      1. The equation of the straight line in the form y = m x + c (2mks)
        a = Dy
              Dx
        a = 10 - 0
               0 - 10
        a = -1
        -1 = y - 10
         1     x - 0
        y - 10 = -x
        y = -x + 10
      2. The co-ordinates of P and Q (4mks)
        y = x2 - 2x + 4 .........(i)
        y = -x + 10
        -x + 10 = x2 - 2x -2x + 4
        x2 - 2x + x + 6 = 0
        x2 - x + 6 = 0
        x2 - x - 6 = 0
        sum = -1
        prd = -6
        x2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 0
        x(x + 2) - 3(x + 2) = 0
        x1 = 3
        x2 = -2
        P = (-2, 12)
        Q = (3, 7)
    2. Use integration to find the area of the shaded part. (4mks)

  8. Owiti makes two types of dresses, A and B. He takes 3 hours to make one pair of type A and 4 hours to make one pair of type B. He works for a maximum of 120 hours to make x pairs of type A and Y pairs of type B. It costs him shs 400 to make a pair of type A and shs. 150 to make a pair of type B. His total cost does not exceed shs. 9000. He must make at least 8 pairs of type A and more than 12 pairs of type B.
