- EN: Vector a = (3, 4) and vector b = (−1, 2). What is a + b?
- FR: Le vecteur a = (3, 4) et le vecteur b = (−1, 2). Quel est a + b?
- Choices: A) (4, 2) B) (1, 8) C) (2, 6) D) (3, 5)
- Hint: Add the corresponding components of each vector (e.g., (5, 2) + (−2, 3) = (3, 5)).
- Steps:
- Add x-components: 3 + (−1) = 2.
- Add y-components: 4 + 2 = 6.
- a + b = (2, 6).
- Answer: (2, 6)
[Medium] Rational Function — Asymptote
- EN: For the function f(x) = (x + 1)/(x − 3), what is the vertical asymptote?
- FR: Pour la fonction f(x) = (x + 1)/(x − 3), quelle est l'asymptote verticale?
- Choices: A) x = 1 B) x = 3 C) x = −1 D) x = −3
- Hint: The vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator equals zero (e.g., f(x) = 1/(x−5) has vertical asymptote x = 5).
- Steps:
- Set the denominator equal to zero: x − 3 = 0.
- x = 3.
- So the vertical asymptote is x = 3.
- Answer: x = 3
[Hard] Derivative and Optimization
- EN: A farmer wants to fence a rectangular field with 60 m of fencing. One side is along a river and needs no fencing. What is the maximum area?
- FR: Un agriculteur veut clôturer un champ rectangulaire avec 60 m de clôture. Un côté longe une rivière et n'a pas besoin de clôture. Quelle est l'aire maximale?
- Choices: A) 400 m² B) 350 m² C) 500 m² D) 450 m²
- Hint: With constraint 2w + l = 60, write A = w × l, substitute l, differentiate, set to zero (e.g., 2w + l = 40: l = 40−2w, A = w(40−2w), dA/dw = 40−4w = 0, w = 10, A = 200).
- Steps:
- Let width = w, then length l = 60 − 2w.
- Area A = w(60 − 2w) = 60w − 2w².
- dA/dw = 60 − 4w = 0 → w = 15 m.
- l = 60 − 2(15) = 30 m. A = 15 × 30 = 450 m².
- Answer: 450 m²
[Hard] Permutations with Restrictions
- EN: How many 3-digit numbers can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 if no digit may be repeated and the number must be greater than 300?
- FR: Combien de nombres à 3 chiffres peut-on former avec les chiffres 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 si aucun chiffre ne peut être répété et que le nombre doit être supérieur à 300?
- Choices: A) 48 B) 36 C) 24 D) 30
- Hint: Count by cases based on the first digit — only certain digits can lead (e.g., numbers > 200 using {1,2,3,4}: first digit is 2, 3, or 4, then arrange remaining 3 from the rest).
- Steps:
- The hundreds digit must be 3, 4, or 5 (to be greater than 300).
- For each choice of hundreds digit (3 options), choose 2 digits from the remaining 4: P(4,2) = 4 × 3 = 12.
- Total: 3 × 12 = 36.
- Answer: 36

A Story of Kindness
Maya lived in Winnipeg with her grandmother, Baba, who had trouble reaching high shelves. One afternoon, Maya noticed Baba struggling to find a jar of soup on the top shelf and quickly climbed up on her step stool to bring it down. She also washed the vegetables and set the table so Baba could rest her tired feet. Baba smiled warmly and told Maya that her helping hands were the best gift of all.
