Here are the detailed solutions for each question.

Question 1:
A shop sells a TV set at a discount of 15% on the normal price. Kina bought the TV set for 357,000 fcfa. Calculate the normal price of the TV set.

  1. Determine the percentage of the normal price paid.

    If the discount is 15%, then Kina paid 100%−15%=85%100\% - 15\% = 85\% of the normal price.

  2. Set up the equation.

    Let PP be the normal price. We have 0.85×P=357 0000.85 \times P = 357\,000.

  3. Solve for PP.

    P=357 0000.85P = \frac{357\,000}{0.85} P=420 000P = 420\,000

    The normal price of the TV set is 420,000 fcfa.

    420,000 fcfa\boxed{\text{420,000 fcfa}}

    Question 2:
    Given that (x−1)(x-1) is one of the factors of f(x)=2x3+x2−2x−1f(x) = 2x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 1.

    a) Show that (x−1)(x-1) is a factor of f(x)f(x).

  4. Apply the Factor Theorem.

    According to the Factor Theorem, (x−1)(x-1) is a factor of f(x)f(x) if and only if f(1)=0f(1) = 0.

  5. Calculate f(1)f(1).

    f(1)=2(1)3+(1)2−2(1)−1f(1) = 2(1)^3 + (1)^2 - 2(1) - 1 f(1)=2(1)+1−2−1f(1) = 2(1) + 1 - 2 - 1 f(1)=2+1−2−1f(1) = 2 + 1 - 2 - 1 f(1)=0f(1) = 0

    Since f(1)=0f(1) = 0, we have shown that (x−1)(x-1) is a factor of f(x)f(x).

    b) Find the other two factors of f(x)f(x).

  6. Perform polynomial division.

    Since (x−1)(x-1) is a factor, we can divide f(x)f(x) by (x−1)(x-1) to find the quotient. Using synthetic division with the root x=1x=1:

    1 | 2   1   -2   -1
      |     2    3    1
      -----------------
        2   3    1    0
    

    The quotient is 2x2+3x+12x^2 + 3x + 1.

  7. Factor the quadratic quotient.

    We need to factor the quadratic polynomial 2x2+3x+12x^2 + 3x + 1.
    We look for two numbers whose product is 2×1=22 \times 1 = 2 and whose sum is 3. These numbers are 1 and 2.

    2x2+3x+1=2x2+2x+x+12x^2 + 3x + 1 = 2x^2 + 2x + x + 1 2x2+3x+1=2x(x+1)+1(x+1)2x^2 + 3x + 1 = 2x(x+1) + 1(x+1) 2x2+3x+1=(2x+1)(x+1)2x^2 + 3x + 1 = (2x+1)(x+1)

    The other two factors of f(x)f(x) are (2x+1)(2x+1) and (x+1)(x+1).

    (2x+1) and (x+1)\boxed{(2x+1) \text{ and } (x+1)}

    Question 3:

    a) Find the value of xx, given that 2x+1=1432^{x+1} = \frac{1}{4^3}.

  8. Rewrite the right side with the same base.

    We know that 4=224 = 2^2.

    2x+1=1(22)32^{x+1} = \frac{1}{(2^2)^3} 2x+1=1262^{x+1} = \frac{1}{2^6}
  9. Use the property of exponents 1an=a−n\frac{1}{a^n} = a^{-n}.

    2x+1=2−62^{x+1} = 2^{-6}
  10. Equate the exponents.

    Since the bases are equal, the exponents must be equal.

    x+1=−6x+1 = -6 x=−6−1x = -6 - 1 x=−7x = -7

    The value of xx is -7.

    −7\boxed{-7}

    b) Simplify 5−x5−2−x10\frac{5-x}{5} - \frac{2-x}{10}.

  11. Find a common denominator.

    The common denominator for 5 and 10 is 10.
    Rewrite the first fraction with the denominator 10:

    5−x5=2(5−x)2×5=10−2x10\frac{5-x}{5} = \frac{2(5-x)}{2 \times 5} = \frac{10-2x}{10}
  12. Combine the fractions.

    10−2x10−2−x10\frac{10-2x}{10} - \frac{2-x}{10} (10−2x)−(2−x)10\frac{(10-2x) - (2-x)}{10}
  13. Simplify the numerator.

    10−2x−2+x10\frac{10-2x-2+x}{10} 8−x10\frac{8-x}{10}

    The simplified expression is 8−x10\frac{8-x}{10}.

    8−x10\boxed{\frac{8-x}{10}}

    Question 4:
    The function ff is defined on R\mathbb{R} as f(x)=2−8x2f(x) = 2-8x^2.

    a) Evaluate f(2)f(2).

  14. Substitute x=2x=2 into the function.

    f(2)=2−8(2)2f(2) = 2 - 8(2)^2 f(2)=2−8(4)f(2) = 2 - 8(4) f(2)=2−32f(2) = 2 - 32 f(2)=−30f(2) = -30

    The value of f(2)f(2) is -30.

    −30\boxed{-30}

    b) Factorize f(x)f(x) completely.

  15. Factor out the common factor.

    f(x)=2−8x2f(x) = 2 - 8x^2 f(x)=2(1−4x2)f(x) = 2(1 - 4x^2)
  16. Use the difference of squares formula (a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b)a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)).

    Here, 1=121 = 1^2 and 4x2=(2x)24x^2 = (2x)^2.

    f(x)=2(12−(2x)2)f(x) = 2(1^2 - (2x)^2) f(x)=2(1−2x)(1+2x)f(x) = 2(1-2x)(1+2x)

    The factored form of f(x)f(x) is 2(1−2x)(1+2x)2(1-2x)(1+2x).

    2(1−2x)(1+2x)\boxed{2(1-2x)(1+2x)}

    c) Solve the equation f(x)=0f(x) = 0.

  17. Use the factored form of f(x)f(x) and set it to zero.

    2(1−2x)(1+2x)=02(1-2x)(1+2x) = 0
  18. Solve for xx using the zero product property.

    For the product to be zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.

    1−2x=0or1+2x=01-2x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad 1+2x = 0 1=2xor−1=2x1 = 2x \quad \text{or} \quad -1 = 2x x=12orx=−12x = \frac{1}{2} \quad \text{or} \quad x = -\frac{1}{2}

    The solutions to the equation f(x)=0f(x)=0 are x=12x = \frac{1}{2} and x=−12x = -\frac{1}{2}.

    x=12,x=−12\boxed{x = \frac{1}{2}, x = -\frac{1}{2}}
