5 In Singapore, the rate for the usage of water for the month of July in 2009 is as
follows:
Water used : $1.17 per m3
Water borne fee : $0.28 per m3
Sanitary Appliance fee : $2.80 per fitting
Water Conservation tax : 30% of the amount payable for water used (before
GST)
Goods and Services tax (GST): 7% of all the above fees/ tax

is $3.11.
Calculate the amount, excluding GST, paid for water used in July by this
household. [2]
(ii) Show that the amount of water used by this household in July, is
approximately 38.0 m3. [1]
(iii) Hence, by using the result found in (ii), find the overall water bill if this
household has 2 sanitary fittings. [2]

in Singapore is 19.1 m3,

9 According to the Straits Times, a check on a random selection of basic goods at

several supermarkets in Singapore revealed an increase in the prices since the
beginning of the year. In particular, a pack of fresh chicken (between 1 to 1.3 kg) now
cost 70 cents more than its original cost at the beginning of the year.
In 2008, Yusof budgeted $234 for fresh chicken to be used during his wedding
reception in January 2009.
(i) If x represents the number of packs of fresh chicken (between 1 to 1.3 kg)
which Yusof could buy at the beginning of 2009, write down an expression, in
terms of x, for the original cost of a pack of fresh chicken (between 1 to 1.3
kg). [1]
(ii) Yusof found that he would get 7 packs of fresh chicken (between 1 to 1.3 kg)
less than that at the beginning of the year if he decided to delay the wedding
reception till September 2009.
Write down an expression, in terms of x, for the current cost of a pack of fresh
chicken (between 1 to 1.3 kg). [1]
(iii) Write down an equation in x, and show that it reduces to x 2 − 7 x − 2340 = 0 . [3]
(iv) Solve the equation x 2 − 7 x − 2340 = 0 . [2]
(v) Calculate the percentage increase in the price of a pack of fresh chicken
(between 1 to 1.3 kg). [2]

10 Answer the whole of this question on a sheet of graph paper.

In a recent Olympic diving event, a male participant stood on a platform and
performed a dive into the water.
During the dive, the horizontal distance of the participant away from the platform,
x m, and the corresponding vertical distance of the participant above the platform,
y m, are related by the equation
13 x2
y= x− .
10 2
Some corresponding values of x and y are given in the table below.

x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
y 0 0.8 0.6 −0.6 −2.8 −6 p

(a) Find the value of p. [1]

(b) Using a scale of 2 cm to 1 unit, draw a horizontal x-axis for 0 ≤ x ≤ 6 .
Using a scale of 2 cm to 1 unit, draw a vertical y-axis for − 11 ≤ y ≤ 1 .
On your axes, plot the points given in the table and join them with a smooth
curve. [3]
(c) Use your graph to find the distance(s) the participant was from the platform
when he was 0.5 m above the platform. [2]
(d) Use your graph to find the maximum height above the platform reached by the
participant. [1]
(e) By drawing a tangent, find the gradient of the curve at the point (3, −0.6).
What can be said about the movement of the participant at this instant? [3]
(f) The participant entered the water when he was 4.4 m away from the platform
horizontally. Use your graph to determine the height of the platform above the
water for this participant. [1]
(g) Is the graph useful in finding the position of the participant beyond a
horizontal distance of 4.4 m? Justify your answer. [1]

12 In a bid to make our society more environmentally friendly, a survey was conducted
and the cumulative frequency curve shown on page 14 illustrates the number of plastic
bags used, by 200 Singaporeans in a week.

(i) the median number of plastic bags used, [1]
(ii) the lower quartile, [1]
(iii) the interquartile range, [1]
(b) A person is considered to be a ‘reddie’ if he uses more than 18 plastic bags in
a week. A Singaporean is chosen at random. Calculate, leaving your answer
as a fraction in its lowest term, the probability of getting a ‘reddie’. [2]
(c) Given that 19.5% of Singaporean surveyed are ‘green crusaders’, use the
graph to find the minimum number of plastic bags used by a Singaporean who
is not a green crusader. [2]
(d) The frequency table for this set of data is given below. Showing your method
clearly, prove that the values are as shown in the table. [2]
