- Hint: For odd-degree polynomials with a negative leading coefficient, as x → +∞ the function goes to −∞ — like f(x) = −x³: falls to the right.
- Steps:
- Leading term is −2x³ (odd degree, negative coefficient).
- As x → +∞, −2x³ → −∞.
- So f(x) → −∞.
- Answer: f(x) → −∞
[Medium] Vectors Intro — Adding Vectors
- EN: Vector u = (3, 5) and vector v = (−1, 4). What is u + v?
- FR: Le vecteur u = (3, 5) et le vecteur v = (−1, 4). Quel est u + v ?
- Choices: A) (2, 9) B) (4, 9) C) (2, 1) D) (4, 1)
- Hint: Add corresponding components — like (2, 3) + (1, 6) = (3, 9).
- Steps:
- x-components: 3 + (−1) = 2.
- y-components: 5 + 4 = 9.
- u + v = (2, 9).
- Answer: (2, 9)
[Hard] Probability Distribution — Expected Value
- EN: A random variable X has this probability distribution: X = 1 with P = 0.2; X = 3 with P = 0.5; X = 5 with P = 0.3. What is the expected value E(X)?
- FR: Une variable aléatoire X a cette distribution de probabilité : X = 1 avec P = 0,2 ; X = 3 avec P = 0,5 ; X = 5 avec P = 0,3. Quelle est l'espérance E(X) ?
- Choices: A) 2.9 B) 3.0 C) 3.1 D) 3.2
- Hint: E(X) = Σ[x × P(x)] — like X=2 with P=0.4 and X=6 with P=0.6: E = 2(0.4) + 6(0.6) = 0.8 + 3.6 = 4.4.
- Steps:
- E(X) = 1(0.2) + 3(0.5) + 5(0.3).
- = 0.2 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 3.2.
- So E(X) = 3.2.
- Answer: 3.2
[Hard] Derivative Application — Maximum
- EN: A ball is thrown upward. Its height in metres is h(t) = −5t² + 20t + 1. At what time t (in seconds) does the ball reach its maximum height?
- FR: Une balle est lancée vers le haut. Sa hauteur en mètres est h(t) = −5t² + 20t + 1. À quel moment t (en secondes) la balle atteint-elle sa hauteur maximale ?
- Choices: A) t = 1 second B) t = 2 seconds C) t = 4 seconds D) t = 5 seconds
- Hint: Take the derivative, set it equal to zero, and solve for t — like h(t) = −4t² + 8t: h'(t) = −8t + 8; set 0: t = 1.
- Steps:
- h'(t) = −10t + 20.
- Set h'(t) = 0: −10t + 20 = 0.
- t = 2 seconds.
- Answer: t = 2 seconds

A Story of Kindness
Priya was helping at the community garden in Saskatoon when she noticed an elderly neighbour, Mr. Bouchard, struggling to carry a heavy basket of tomatoes. Without being asked, Priya put down her trowel and walked over to help him carry the basket to his car. Mr. Bouchard smiled and thanked her, saying it was the kindest thing anyone had done for him all week. Priya returned to the garden feeling warm inside, knowing that small acts of care make a big difference.
