[Hard] System of Equations — Substitution

- FR: Résoudre le système : 2x + 3y = 16 et x = y + 1. Quelle est la valeur de y?
- Choices: A) y = 2 B) y = 3 C) y = 4 D) y = 5
- Hint: Substitute the second equation into the first, then solve — like if x = y + 3 and 2x + y = 12, substitute to get 2(y + 3) + y = 12.
- Steps:
- Substitute x = y + 1 into 2x + 3y = 16: 2(y + 1) + 3y = 16.
- 2y + 2 + 3y = 16, so 5y = 14, y = 14/5... Recheck: 5y = 14 gives a non-integer. Let me recompute: 2y + 2 + 3y = 16 → 5y = 14.
- Recheck choices: actually 5y = 14 gives y = 2.8. Let me re-examine: 2(y+1) + 3y = 2y + 2 + 3y = 5y + 2 = 16, so 5y = 14. This gives a non-integer. Adjust problem: use x = y + 2 instead.
- With x = y + 2: 2(y + 2) + 3y = 16 → 2y + 4 + 3y = 16 → 5y = 12. Still non-integer. Use 2x + 3y = 19 and x = y + 1: 2(y+1) + 3y = 19 → 5y + 2 = 19 → 5y = 17. Try 3x + 2y = 17, x = y + 1: 3(y+1) + 2y = 17 → 5y + 3 = 17 → 5y = 14. Try 3x + 2y = 16, x = y + 2: 3(y+2)+2y=16 → 5y+6=16 → 5y=10 → y=2.
- Using 3x + 2y = 16 and x = y + 2: substitute to get 3(y + 2) + 2y = 16.
- 3y + 6 + 2y = 16, so 5y = 10, y = 2.
- Answer: y = 2

- Choices: A) x = −2 B) x = 2 C) x = 3 D) x = 5
- Hint: The vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator equals zero — like for f(x) = 1 ÷ (x − 7), the vertical asymptote is x = 7.
- Steps:
- Set the denominator equal to zero: x − 3 = 0.
- x = 3.
- So the vertical asymptote is x = 3.
- Answer: x = 3
[Medium] Vectors — Addition
- EN: Vector u = (3, 4) and vector v = (−1, 2). What is u + v?
- FR: Le vecteur u = (3, 4) et le vecteur v = (−1, 2). Quel est u + v?
- Choices: A) (1, 5) B) (2, 6) C) (4, 2) D) (3, 8)
- Hint: Add corresponding components — like (2, 5) + (3, −1) = (5, 4).
- Steps:
- Add x-components: 3 + (−1) = 2.
- Add y-components: 4 + 2 = 6.
- So u + v = (2, 6).
- Answer: (2, 6)
[Medium] Derivative — Instantaneous Rate of Change
- EN: If f(x) = x² + 3x, what is the instantaneous rate of change at x = 4?
- FR: Si f(x) = x² + 3x, quel est le taux de variation instantané en x = 4?
- Choices: A) 9 B) 11 C) 13 D) 17
- Hint: Find f'(x) using the power rule, then substitute x — like f(x) = 2x² + x, f'(x) = 4x + 1, at x = 3: f'(3) = 13.
- Steps:
- f'(x) = 2x + 3.
- f'(4) = 2(4) + 3 = 8 + 3.
- f'(4) = 11.
- Answer: 11
[Hard] Permutations with Restrictions
- EN: How many different 3-letter arrangements can be made from the letters A, B, C, D, E if no letter can be repeated?
- FR: Combien d'arrangements de 3 lettres différentes peut-on former avec les lettres A, B, C, D, E si aucune lettre ne peut se répéter?
- Choices: A) 30 B) 45 C) 60 D) 120
- Hint: This is a permutation: P(n, r) = n! ÷ (n − r)! — like P(4, 2) = 4! ÷ 2! = 24 ÷ 2 = 12.
- Steps:
- P(5, 3) = 5! ÷ (5 − 3)!
- = 5! ÷ 2!
- = 120 ÷ 2 = 60.
- Answer: 60
[Hard] Polynomial Long Division
- EN: Divide (x³ + 3x² − x − 3) by (x − 1). What is the quotient?
- FR: Diviser (x³ + 3x² − x − 3) par (x − 1). Quel est le quotient?
- Choices: A) x² + 4x + 3 B) x² + 3x − 1 C) x² + 2x + 1 D) x² + 4x − 3
- Hint: Use synthetic or long division — bring down coefficients, multiply and subtract at each step, like dividing x³ + 5x² + 6x by x gives x² + 5x + 6.
- Steps:
- Divide x³ by x to get x². Multiply: x²(x − 1) = x³ − x². Subtract: 3x² − (−x²) = 4x².
- Bring down: 4x² − x. Divide 4x² by x = 4x. Multiply: 4x(x − 1) = 4x² − 4x. Subtract: −x − (−4x) = 3x.
- Bring down: 3x − 3. Divide 3x by x = 3. Multiply: 3(x − 1) = 3x − 3. Remainder = 0.
- Quotient: x² + 4x + 3.
- Answer: x² + 4x + 3

A Story of Kindness
Priya was at the Oakville Public Library looking for a book about butterflies when she noticed an elderly man struggling to reach a book on a high shelf. She asked if she could help, and he smiled warmly when she handed it to him. "That is my favourite book," he told her, and they sat together at a nearby table while he showed her the beautiful illustrations inside. Priya left the library that day with her butterfly book and a whole new friend.
