The spread of the secret can be modelled with the equation:

y = 3x -1
Where: x = the number of the day on which the secret is told
and y = the total number of people who know the secret
How many people were told the secret on the following Monday?

(A) 2186 (B) 2187

(D) 6560

Quest ion 39

In 2010, the city of Thagoras used the equation P = A(l.04r to predict its future
population. The city introduced a new policy to slow its population growth and the new
equation used was P =
A(br . In both equations P is the predicted population and n is the
number of years since 2010.

Question 40 3
The first diagram shows the distance between towns in kilometres. Nick lives in Rochdale,
and drives to work in Trafford. On each road shown on the first diagram, the speed limit is
S0km/h.

Oldham (0)

Ashton (A)

A new orbital road is created as seen in the diagram below, in which the speed limit is
120km/h. New roads connecting R to X and R to Y have a speed limit of 60km/h.

How much time will Nick save by driving to work on the orbital road compared to the
quickest route he could have taken using the original roads?
