- Steps:
- Cannot do 2 − 8, so regroup: 72 becomes 6 tens and 12 ones.
- 12 − 8 = 4, and 6 − 3 = 3. So 72 − 38 = 34 students.

[Hard] Derivative — Finding a Maximum
- EN: The profit of a company (in thousands of dollars) is modelled by P(x) = −2x² + 12x − 10, where x is the number of units (in thousands). How many units maximize the profit?
- FR: Le profit d'une entreprise (en milliers de dollars) est modélisé par P(x) = −2x² + 12x − 10, où x est le nombre d'unités (en milliers). Combien d'unités maximisent le profit?
- Choices: A) 4 thousand units B) 5 thousand units C) 3 thousand units D) 6 thousand units
- Hint: Differentiate P(x), set P'(x) = 0, and solve for x to find the critical point: for P(x) = −x² + 6x, P'(x) = −2x + 6 = 0 gives x = 3.
- Steps:
- P'(x) = −4x + 12. Set equal to zero: −4x + 12 = 0.
- 4x = 12, so x = 3 thousand units.
- Answer: 3 thousand units
[Hard] Permutations with Restriction
- EN: In how many ways can 5 students line up for a class photo if two specific students (Maya and Noah) must NOT stand next to each other?
- FR: De combien de façons 5 élèves peuvent-ils se mettre en ligne pour une photo de classe si deux élèves en particulier (Maya et Noah) ne doivent PAS être côte à côte?
- Choices: A) 48 B) 120 C) 72 D) 96
- Hint: Use complementary counting — total arrangements minus the arrangements where the restricted pair IS together (treat them as one unit): for 4 students with 2 always together, restricted = 3! × 2! = 12; total = 4! = 24; result = 24 − 12 = 12.
- Steps:
- Total arrangements of 5 students: 5! = 120.
- Arrangements where Maya and Noah ARE together: treat them as 1 unit → 4 units arranged in 4! = 24 ways × 2 (Maya and Noah can swap) = 48.
- Answer: 120 − 48 = 72.
- Answer: 72

A Story of Kindness
Priya was returning a book to the public library in Sudbury when she noticed an elderly man struggling to reach a shelf. She asked him which book he was looking for and carefully handed it to him. The man smiled and thanked her warmly, saying it was a story he had loved as a child. Priya felt proud knowing that one small act had made his whole afternoon brighter.
