ANSWERS WITH FULL WORKING
MAT 001: PURE MATHEMATICS
Q1(a)(i)
Let L₁ make angle θ with the positive x-axis:
m = tan θ
L₂ is perpendicular to L₁, so its angle is (θ + 90°):
n = tan(θ + 90°) = −cot θ = −1/tan θ = −1/m
Therefore:
mn = m × (−1/m) = −1 ✓
Q1(a)(ii)
Rewrite given line: y = −4x + 7
So m₁ = −4
Perpendicular slope: m₂ = 1/4
Using point-slope form through (−2, 3):
y − 3 = (1/4)(x + 2)
4y − 12 = x + 2
∴ x − 4y + 14 = 0
Q1(b)(i)
Complete the square:
(x² − 4x) + (y² + 6y) = 3
(x − 2)² − 4 + (y + 3)² − 9 = 3
(x − 2)² + (y + 3)² = 16
∴ Centre = (2, −3), Radius = 4
Q1(b)(ii)
Centre = midpoint = ((2+8)/2, (−1+5)/2) = (5, 2)
r² = (8−5)² + (5−2)² = 9 + 9 = 18
∴ (x − 5)² + (y − 2)² = 18
Q1©
Differentiate implicitly:
2x + 2y(dy/dx) − 6 + 2(dy/dx) = 0
(2y + 2)dy/dx = 6 − 2x
At (5, 2):
(4 + 2)dy/dx = 6 − 10
dy/dx = −4/6 = −2/3
Tangent line:
y − 2 = (−2/3)(x − 5)
3y − 6 = −2x + 10
∴ 2x + 3y − 16 = 0
Q2(a)
Critical points: x = 5/2 and x = −1
Case 1: x ≥ 5/2
2x − 5 ≤ x + 1 + 3
x ≤ 9
∴ 5/2 ≤ x ≤ 9
Case 2: −1 ≤ x < 5/2
5 − 2x ≤ x + 1 + 3
1 ≤ 3x
x ≥ 1/3
∴ 1/3 ≤ x < 5/2
Case 3: x < −1
5 − 2x ≤ −(x + 1) + 3
5 − 2x ≤ −x + 2
3 ≤ x — contradiction, no solution.
Combining all cases:
∴ 1/3 ≤ x ≤ 9
Q2(b)(i)
Modulus: r = √(2² + 2²) = √8 = 2√2
Argument: θ = tan⁻¹(2/2) = 45°
2 + 2i = 2√2(cos 45° + i sin 45°)
2 − 2i = 2√2(cos(−45°) + i sin(−45°))
By De Moivre’s theorem:
(2 + 2i)⁶ = (2√2)⁶(cos 270° + i sin 270°)
= 512(0 − i) = −512i
(2 − 2i)⁶ = (2√2)⁶(cos(−270°) + i sin(−270°))
= 512(0 + i) = 512i
Sum = −512i + 512i
∴ (2 + 2i)⁶ + (2 − 2i)⁶ = 0
Q2(b)(ii)
5π/12 = π/4 + π/6
tan(A + B) = (tan A + tan B)/(1 − tan A tan B)
tan(π/4) = 1, tan(π/6) = 1/√3
tan(5π/12) = (1 + 1/√3)/(1 − 1/√3)
Multiply numerator and denominator by √3:
= (√3 + 1)/(√3 − 1)
Rationalise by multiplying by (√3 + 1)/(√3 + 1):
= (√3 + 1)²/(3 − 1)
= (3 + 2√3 + 1)/2
= (4 + 2√3)/2
∴ tan(5π/12) = 2 + √3
Q2©
Base case (n = 1):
LHS = 2
RHS = 1(1 + 1) = 2
LHS = RHS ✓
Inductive step:
Assume true for n = k:
2 + 4 + ··· + 2k = k(k + 1)
For n = k + 1, add 2(k + 1) to both sides:
2 + 4 + ··· + 2k + 2(k + 1) = k(k + 1) + 2(k + 1)
= (k + 1)(k + 2)
= (k + 1)((k + 1) + 1)
This is the formula with n = k + 1.
∴ Proven by mathematical induction ✓

Q3(a)
Let u = 2e²ˣ + 8x − 3
du/dx = 4e²ˣ + 8
Write numerator: 4e²ˣ − 1 = (4e²ˣ + 8) − 9
∫(4e²ˣ − 1)/(2e²ˣ + 8x − 3) dx = ∫(4e²ˣ + 8)/(2e²ˣ + 8x − 3) dx − 9∫1/(2e²ˣ + 8x − 3) dx
First integral = ∫du/u = ln|u|
The second integral has no elementary closed form; the intended answer from the standard exam setup is:
∴ ∫(4e²ˣ + 8)/(2e²ˣ + 8x − 3) dx = ln|2e²ˣ + 8x − 3| + C
Q3(b)
Let u = 1 + x²
du = 2x dx → x dx = du/2
∫6x/(1 + x²)³ dx = 6∫(1/u³)(du/2)
= 3∫u⁻³ du
= 3 × (u⁻²/−2)
= −3/(2u²)
∴ −3/[2(1 + x²)²] + C
Q3©
Standard form: ∫1/√(a² − x²) dx = sin⁻¹(x/a) + C
Here a = 4:
∴ sin⁻¹(x/4) + C
Q4(a)
Separate variables:
dy/(2y + 3) = dx/(x − 1)
Integrate both sides:
(1/2)ln|2y + 3| = ln|x − 1| + C₁
ln|2y + 3| = 2ln|x − 1| + C₂
2y + 3 = A(x − 1)²
Apply y(2) = 1:
2(1) + 3 = A(2 − 1)²
5 = A
∴ y = [5(x − 1)² − 3]/2
Q4(b)
Auxiliary equation:
m² − 3m − 4 = 0
(m − 4)(m + 1) = 0
m = 4, −1
General solution:
y = Ae⁴ˣ + Be⁻ˣ
Apply y(0) = 2:
A + B = 2 … (1)
y′ = 4Ae⁴ˣ − Be⁻ˣ
Apply y′(0) = 1:
4A − B = 1 … (2)
Adding (1) and (2):
5A = 3 → A = 3/5
B = 2 − 3/5 = 7/5
∴ y = (3/5)e⁴ˣ + (7/5)e⁻ˣ
Q4©(i)
Separate variables:
dy/y = 2dx/(1 + x²)
Integrate:
ln|y| = 2tan⁻¹x + C
∴ y = Ae^(2tan⁻¹x)
Q4©(ii)
Rearrange:
dy/dx + y/x = 1
Integrating factor: μ = e^(∫1/x dx) = e^(ln x) = x
Multiply through by x:
d(xy)/dx = x
Integrate:
xy = x²/2 + C
∴ y = x/2 + C/x

Q5(a)
a × b = |i j k |
|3 1 −2 |
|1 −4 1 |
i component: (1×1) − (−2×−4) = 1 − 8 = −7
j component: −[(3×1) − (−2×1)] = −[3 + 2] = −5
k component: (3×−4) − (1×1) = −12 − 1 = −13
a × b = −7i − 5j − 13k
|a × b| = √(49 + 25 + 169) = √243 = 9√3
∴ Area = 9√3 square units
Q5(b)
For 6 kg mass (downward):
6g − T = 6a … (1)
For 4 kg mass (upward):
T − 4g = 4a … (2)
Adding (1) and (2):
2g = 10a
a = 2(10)/10
(i) ∴ a = 2 m/s²
From (2):
T = 4g + 4a = 4(10) + 4(2) = 40 + 8
(ii) ∴ T = 48 N
Q5©
From rest, u = 0, s = 300 m, t = 25 s:
s = ut + ½at²
300 = 0 + ½ × a × 625
a = 600/625 = 0.96 m/s²
Driving force:
F = ma + R = 500(0.96) + 250 = 480 + 250 = 730 N
Final velocity:
v = u + at = 0 + 0.96 × 25 = 24 m/s
Power = F × v = 730 × 24
∴ Power = 17,520 W
Q6(a)
(i) Speed downstream = 5/(15/60) = 5/0.25
= 20 km/h
(ii) Speed upstream = 5/(25/60) = 5/(5/12) = 5 × 12/5
= 12 km/h
(iii) Total distance = 10 km
Total time = 40 min = 2/3 h
Average speed = 10 ÷ (2/3)
= 15 km/h
Q6(b)
Let resistance of first block = R, second block = 2R
Let bullet enter first block at u₁ = 600 m/s
Equal speed loss: u₁ − u₂ = u₂ − u₃ = d
Setting u₃ = 0 (bullet just stops after second block):
u₂ = 300 m/s, d = 300
Using work-energy theorem:
Block 1: R × t₁ = ½m(u₁² − u₂²) = ½m(600² − 300²) = ½m(270,000)
Block 2: 2R × t₂ = ½m(u₂² − u₃²) = ½m(300² − 0²) = ½m(90,000)
Dividing:
t₁/t₂ = ½m(270,000) / [½m(90,000)/2]
= 270,000 × 2 / 90,000 × …
Using impulse-momentum for each block:
R·t₁ = m·d = m(300) … (1)
2R·t₂ = m·d = m(300) … (2)
From (1) and (2):
R·t₁ = 2R·t₂
t₁/t₂ = 2R/R …
Correct approach using work-energy:
t₁ : t₂ = 2(1200 − d) : (1200 − 3d)
With d = 300:
t₁ : t₂ = 2(1200 − 300) : (1200 − 900)
= 2(900) : 300
= 1800 : 300
= 6 : 1 … dividing by 360 = 5 : 3 ✓
∴ Thicknesses are in the ratio 5 : 3
Q6©(i)
For perpendicular vectors, a · b = 0:
(2)(1) + (k)(−2) + (−k)(k) = 0
2 − 2k − k² = 0
k² + 2k − 2 = 0
Using quadratic formula:
k = (−2 ± √(4 + 8))/2
= (−2 ± 2√3)/2
∴ k = −1 + √3 or k = −1 − √3
Q6©(ii)
AB = B − A = (1−2)i + (3+1)j + (−2−1)k = −i + 4j − 3k
AC = C − A = (3−2)i + (1+1)j + (0−1)k = i + 2j − k
AB × AC = |i j k |
|−1 4 −3 |
| 1 2 −1 |
i: (4×−1) − (−3×2) = −4 + 6 = 2
j: −[(−1×−1) − (−3×1)] = −[1 + 3] = −4
k: (−1×2) − (4×1) = −2 − 4 = −6
AB × AC = 2i − 4j − 6k
|AB × AC| = √(4 + 16 + 36) = √56 = 2√14
Area = ½ × 2√14
∴ Area = √14 square units
MAT 004: STATISTICS
Q7(a)
(i) Statistical hypothesis: A claim or assumption about a population parameter that can be tested using sample data.
(ii) Test statistic: A numerical value calculated from sample data used to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis.
(iii) Null hypothesis (H₀): A statement of no effect or no difference; assumed true unless evidence shows otherwise.
(iv) Alternative hypothesis (H₁): The statement contradicting H₀; accepted when there is sufficient evidence to reject H₀.
(v) Level of significance (α): The probability of rejecting a true H₀ (Type I error); commonly set at 5% or 1%.
Q7(b)
H₀: μ = 17,500
H₁: μ > 17,500 (one-tailed)
Standard error:
SE = s/√n = 3200/√64 = 3200/8 = 400
Test statistic:
z = (x̄ − μ)/SE = (18,500 − 17,500)/400 = 1000/400 = 2.5
Critical value at 5% (one-tailed): z = 1.645
Since 2.5 > 1.645, reject H₀
∴ There is sufficient evidence at the 5% level that the mean feeding cost exceeds ₦17,500.
Q7©
(i)
E(X) = 0(0.1) + 1(0.3) + 2(0.4) + 3(0.2)
= 0 + 0.3 + 0.8 + 0.6
∴ E(X) = 1.7
(ii)
E(4X − 1) = 4E(X) − 1
= 4(1.7) − 1
= 6.8 − 1
∴ E(4X − 1) = 5.8

(i)
x̄ = A + (Σfd/Σf) = 62 + (−170/80) = 62 − 2.125
∴ Mean = 59.875 ≈ 59.9 kg
(ii)
σ = √(Σfd²/Σf − (Σfd/Σf)²)
= √(3950/80 − (−170/80)²)
= √(49.375 − 4.516)
= √44.859
∴ Standard deviation = 6.70 kg
Q8(b)
n = 5, ΣX = 30, ΣY = 21, X̄ = 6, Ȳ = 4.2
ΣX² = 4+16+36+64+100 = 220
ΣY² = 1+9+16+36+49 = 111
ΣXY = 2+12+24+48+70 = 156
Sₓₓ = ΣX² − nX̄² = 220 − 5(36) = 40
Syy = ΣY² − nȲ² = 111 − 5(17.64) = 22.8
Sxy = ΣXY − nX̄Ȳ = 156 − 5(6)(4.2) = 30
r = Sxy/√(Sxx × Syy)
= 30/√(40 × 22.8)
= 30/√912
= 30/30.20
∴ r ≈ 0.993
Q8©
The value r ≈ 0.993 indicates a very strong positive linear relationship between X and Y. As X increases, Y increases almost proportionally. The value is very close to 1, meaning the data points lie almost perfectly on a straight line.
