- Steps:
- Set equal: 2x + 1 = –x + 7.
- Add x: 3x + 1 = 7; subtract 1: 3x = 6; x = 2.
- y = 2(2) + 1 = 5. So x = 2, y = 5.
- Answer: x = 2, y = 5

- Answer: 11 m/s
[Medium] Polynomial Functions — End Behaviour
- EN: For f(x) = –2x⁴ + x² – 3, what happens to f(x) as x → +∞?
- FR: Pour f(x) = –2x⁴ + x² – 3, que se passe-t-il avec f(x) lorsque x → +∞?
- Choices: A) f(x) → +∞ B) f(x) → 0 C) f(x) → –∞ D) f(x) → –3
- Hint: The leading term determines end behaviour — negative leading coefficient with even degree means both ends go down (e.g., –x² → –∞ as x → ±∞).
- Steps:
- Leading term: –2x⁴ (even degree, negative coefficient).
- As x → +∞, –2x⁴ → –∞.
- So f(x) → –∞.
- Answer: f(x) → –∞
[Hard] Normal Distribution
- EN: Test scores are normally distributed with mean 70 and standard deviation 10. What percentage of students score between 60 and 80?
- FR: Les scores d'un test sont distribués normalement avec une moyenne de 70 et un écart-type de 10. Quel pourcentage des élèves obtient entre 60 et 80?
- Choices: A) 50% B) 64% C) 68% D) 75%
- Hint: In a normal distribution, about 68% of data falls within one standard deviation of the mean (e.g., mean = 50, SD = 5: between 45 and 55 ≈ 68%).
- Steps:
- 60 is one SD below the mean (70 – 10 = 60).
- 80 is one SD above the mean (70 + 10 = 80).
- By the 68% empirical rule, approximately 68% of students score in this range.
- Answer: 68%
[Hard] Derivative — Optimization
- EN: A farmer has 40 m of fence to enclose a rectangular pen against a barn wall (one side does not need fence). What length of the pen maximizes the area?
- FR: Un fermier a 40 m de clôture pour enfermer un enclos rectangulaire contre un mur de grange (un côté n'a pas besoin de clôture). Quelle longueur de l'enclos maximise l'aire?
- Choices: A) 5 m B) 10 m C) 15 m D) 20 m
- Hint: Set up the constraint (fence = 2w + l = 40), write area A = lw, substitute, differentiate, and set equal to zero (e.g., with 24 m: w = 6, l = 12, A = 72 m²).
- Steps:
- Let l = length (parallel to barn), w = width. Fence: 2w + l = 40, so l = 40 – 2w.
- Area A = l × w = (40 – 2w)w = 40w – 2w².
- dA/dw = 40 – 4w = 0 → w = 10; l = 40 – 20 = 20 m.
- Answer: 20 m

A Story of Kindness
Priya lived with her grandparents in Sudbury, Ontario. One Saturday, she noticed her Nani struggling to sort through old boxes in the attic. Priya spent the whole afternoon helping label the boxes and carry them to the right rooms. When they finished, Nani smiled and said, "You have made this place feel like home again."
