- Choices: A) x = −2 B) x = 2 C) x = 3 D) x = −3
- Hint: Set the denominator equal to zero: for (x − 5), x = 5 is the vertical asymptote.
- Steps:
- Set the denominator equal to zero: x − 3 = 0.
- x = 3.
- The vertical asymptote is x = 3.
- Answer: x = 3
[Hard] Permutations With Restrictions
- EN: How many 4-letter arrangements can be made from the letters A, B, C, D, E if the letter A must always be first?
- FR: Combien d'arrangements de 4 lettres peut-on former avec les lettres A, B, C, D, E si la lettre A doit toujours être en premier?
- Choices: A) 20 B) 24 C) 30 D) 60
- Hint: Fix one item in position 1, then count arrangements of remaining items in remaining spots: for 5 letters with first fixed, arrange 4 from 4 remaining = 4! = 24.
- Steps:
- A is fixed in position 1.
- Choose and arrange 3 letters from the remaining 4 (B, C, D, E) for the remaining 3 spots.
- P(4, 3) = 4 × 3 × 2 = 24.
- Answer: 24
[Hard] Derivative — Optimization
- EN: A farmer has 60 m of fencing to enclose a rectangular pen against a barn wall (one side needs no fencing). What length of the side perpendicular to the barn wall maximizes the area?
- FR: Un fermier dispose de 60 m de clôture pour enclore un enclos rectangulaire contre un mur de grange (un côté n'a pas besoin de clôture). Quelle longueur du côté perpendiculaire au mur maximise l'aire?
- Choices: A) 12 m B) 15 m C) 18 m D) 20 m
- Hint: For L m of fencing, one side open: 2x + y = L, A = xy = x(L − 2x); dA/dx = L − 4x = 0 gives x = L/4.
- Steps:
- Let x = the length of each side perpendicular to the barn; y = side parallel to barn.
- Constraint: 2x + y = 60, so y = 60 − 2x.
- Area A = xy = x(60 − 2x) = 60x − 2x².
- dA/dx = 60 − 4x = 0 → x = 15.
- The optimal length is 15 m.
- Answer: 15 m

A Story of Kindness
Amara loved going to the Saturday farmers' market in Guelph with her dad. One morning, she noticed an elderly man named Mr. Leblanc struggling to carry two heavy bags of vegetables to his car. Without a second thought, Amara offered to help, taking one of the bags and walking beside him all the way to the parking lot. Mr. Leblanc smiled and thanked her, saying it was the kindest thing anyone had done for him all week.
