SECTION B: STRUCTURAL

1. A 70 seater passenger bus leaves Bamenda for Yaounde, a distance of 400km. The driver pays 5000 FCFA at each toll gate located after every 150km.

  • a. Find the number of toll gates between the two towns.
  1. Divide the total distance by the distance between toll gates.

    $$
    \text{Number of toll gates} = \left\lfloor \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Distance per gate}} \right\rfloor
    $$
    $$
    \text{Number of toll gates} = \left\lfloor \frac{400 \text{ km}}{150 \text{ km}} \right\rfloor
    $$
    $$
    \text{Number of toll gates} = \lfloor 2.66... \rfloor
    $$
    $$
    \text{Number of toll gates} = 2
    $$
    The number of toll gates is $\boxed{2}$.
    
    • b. The total amount paid for the toll gates.
  2. Multiply the number of toll gates by the cost per gate.

    $$
    \text{Total toll gate cost} = \text{Number of gates} \times \text{Cost per gate}
    $$
    $$
    \text{Total toll gate cost} = 2 \times 5000 \text{ FCFA}
    $$
    $$
    \text{Total toll gate cost} = 10000 \text{ FCFA}
    $$
    The total amount paid for the toll gates is $\boxed{10000 \text{ FCFA}}$.
    
    • c. The actual number of passengers carried, given that two seats are reserved for the driver and the bus conductor.
  3. Subtract the reserved seats from the total seats.

    $$
    \text{Actual passengers} = \text{Total seats} - \text{Reserved seats}
    $$
    $$
    \text{Actual passengers} = 70 - 2
    $$
    $$
    \text{Actual passengers} = 68
    $$
    The actual number of passengers carried is $\boxed{68}$.
    
    • d. The fare is 5000 FCFA per passenger and the bus uses 100,000 FCFA for fuel. Calculate:
      • i. The total amount collected for the fare.
  4. Multiply the fare per passenger by the actual number of passengers.

        $$
        \text{Total collected} = \text{Fare per passenger} \times \text{Actual passengers}
        $$
        $$
        \text{Total collected} = 5000 \text{ FCFA} \times 68
        $$
        $$
        \text{Total collected} = 340000 \text{ FCFA}
        $$
        The total amount collected for the fare is $\boxed{340000 \text{ FCFA}}$.
    
    *   **ii. The balance after all the expenditures are made.**
    
  5. Calculate total expenditures.

        $$
        \text{Total expenditures} = \text{Toll gate cost} + \text{Fuel cost}
        $$
        $$
        \text{Total expenditures} = 10000 \text{ FCFA} + 100000 \text{ FCFA}
        $$
        $$
        \text{Total expenditures} = 110000 \text{ FCFA}
        $$
    
  6. Calculate the balance.

        $$
        \text{Balance} = \text{Total collected} - \text{Total expenditures}
        $$
        $$
        \text{Balance} = 340000 \text{ FCFA} - 110000 \text{ FCFA}
        $$
        $$
        \text{Balance} = 230000 \text{ FCFA}
        $$
        The balance after all expenditures is $\boxed{230000 \text{ FCFA}}$.
    

    2. Given the functions f and g, defined as f(x)=x−3,x∈Rf(x) = x-3, x \in \mathbb{R} and g(x)=2x+1g(x) = 2x+1. Find:

    • a. f(4)
  7. Substitute x=4x=4 into the function f(x)f(x).

    $$
    f(4) = 4 - 3
    $$
    $$
    f(4) = 1
    $$
    The value of f(4) is $\boxed{1}$.
    
    • b. fg(x)
  8. Substitute g(x)g(x) into f(x)f(x).

    $$
    fg(x) = f(g(x))
    $$
    $$
    fg(x) = f(2x+1)
    $$
    
  9. Apply the definition of f(x)f(x) to 2x+12x+1.

    $$
    fg(x) = (2x+1) - 3
    $$
    $$
    fg(x) = 2x - 2
    $$
    The function fg(x) is $\boxed{2x-2}$.
    
    • c. g−1(x)g^{-1}(x)
  10. Let y=g(x)y = g(x).

    $$
    y = 2x+1
    $$
    
  11. Swap xx and yy.

    $$
    x = 2y+1
    $$
    
  12. Solve for yy.

    $$
    x - 1 = 2y
    $$
    $$
    y = \frac{x-1}{2}
    $$
    The inverse function $g^{-1}(x)$ is $\boxed{\frac{x-1}{2}}$.
    

    3. Figure 1 is a Venn diagram representing the number of students in a class of 30; P = {Students studying physics}, C = {Students studying chemistry}.

    • a. Write, in set notation, the total number of students in the class. The total number of students in the class is represented by the cardinality of the universal set.

      n(E)=30n(\mathcal{E}) = 30

      The total number of students in the class is n(E)=30\boxed{n(\mathcal{E}) = 30}.

    • b. Write down an equation in terms of x. The sum of students in all regions of the Venn diagram must equal the total number of students in the class.

      x+4+5+2x=30x + 4 + 5 + 2x = 30

      The equation in terms of x is x+4+5+2x=30\boxed{x + 4 + 5 + 2x = 30}.

    • c. Hence, find the value of x.

  13. Combine like terms in the equation.

    $$
    3x + 9 = 30
    $$
    
  14. Subtract 9 from both sides.

    $$
    3x = 30 - 9
    $$
    $$
    3x = 21
    $$
    
  15. Divide by 3.

    $$
    x = \frac{21}{3}
    $$
    $$
    x = 7
    $$
    The value of x is $\boxed{7}$.
    
    • d. Find, how many students study neither physics nor chemistry.
  16. From the Venn diagram, the number of students studying neither subject is $2x$.

  17. Substitute the value of x=7x=7.

    $$
    \text{Students studying neither} = 2 \times 7
    $$
    $$
    \text{Students studying neither} = 14
    $$
    The number of students who study neither physics nor chemistry is $\boxed{14}$.
    
    • e. Determine the number of students studying one subject only.
  18. Students studying one subject only are those in P only or C only.

    $$
    \text{Students studying one subject only} = (\text{Students in P only}) + (\text{Students in C only})
    $$
    $$
    \text{Students studying one subject only} = x + 5
    $$
    
  19. Substitute the value of x=7x=7.

    $$
    \text{Students studying one subject only} = 7 + 5
    $$
    $$
    \text{Students studying one subject only} = 12
    $$
    The number of students studying one subject only is $\boxed{12}$.
