- EN: The position of a ball is given by s(t) = 4t² + 2t. What is its velocity (rate of change) at t = 3?
- FR: La position d'une balle est donnée par s(t) = 4t² + 2t. Quelle est sa vitesse (taux de variation) à t = 3?
- Choices: A) 38 m/s B) 26 m/s C) 14 m/s D) 42 m/s
- Hint: Find the derivative, then substitute the time value. For s(t) = 3t² + t, v(t) = 6t + 1. At t = 2: v = 13.
- Steps:
- Differentiate: s′(t) = 8t + 2.
- Substitute t = 3: s′(3) = 8(3) + 2 = 24 + 2.
- Velocity = 26 m/s.
- Answer: 26 m/s
[Hard] Probability Distribution — Expected Value
- EN: A game gives you $5 with probability 0.3, $2 with probability 0.5, and $0 with probability 0.2. What is the expected value?
- FR: Un jeu te donne 5 $ avec une probabilité de 0,3, 2 $ avec une probabilité de 0,5 et 0 $ avec une probabilité de 0,2. Quelle est l'espérance mathématique?
- Choices: A) $3.50 B) $2.00 C) $1.00 D) $2.50
- Hint: Expected value = Σ(value × probability). For $10 with p=0.4 and $0 with p=0.6: E = 10 × 0.4 + 0 × 0.6 = $4.
- Steps:
- E = 5 × 0.3 + 2 × 0.5 + 0 × 0.2.
- E = 1.50 + 1.00 + 0.
- E = $2.50.
- Answer: $2.50
[Hard] Vectors — Dot Product and Angle
- EN: Find the angle between vectors u = (1, 0) and v = (1, 1). (Use cos θ = (u·v) ÷ (|u||v|))
- FR: Trouve l'angle entre les vecteurs u = (1, 0) et v = (1, 1). (Utilise cos θ = (u·v) ÷ (|u||v|))
- Choices: A) 30° B) 90° C) 60° D) 45°
- Hint: Dot product: u·v = u₁v₁ + u₂v₂. Magnitudes: |u| = √(u₁²+u₂²). Then find the angle using inverse cosine.
- Steps:
- u·v = (1)(1) + (0)(1) = 1.
- |u| = √(1+0) = 1; |v| = √(1+1) = √2.
- cos θ = 1/(1 × √2) = 1/√2; θ = cos⁻¹(1/√2) = 45°.
- Answer: 45°

A Story of Kindness
Amara lived in Thunder Bay and loved spending time at the public library after school. One afternoon, she noticed an elderly man named Mr. Beaumont struggling to find a book on the crowded shelves. Without hesitation, Amara asked him what he was looking for and helped him search through the tall stacks until they found it together. Mr. Beaumont smiled warmly and told her she had made his whole day brighter. Amara walked home feeling proud, knowing that small acts of kindness can mean everything to someone else.
