- FR: Le vecteur u = (3, 4) et le vecteur v = (−1, 2). Combien fait u + v?
- Choices: A) (2, 6) B) (3, 6) C) (4, 6) D) (2, 8)
- Hint: Add the corresponding components. Try (5, 3) + (−2, 4) = (3, 7).
- Steps:
- Add x-components: 3 + (−1) = 2.
- Add y-components: 4 + 2 = 6.
- u + v = (2, 6).
- Answer: (2, 6)
[Medium] Polynomial Function — End Behaviour
- EN: For the polynomial f(x) = −2x³ + 5x − 1, what happens to f(x) as x → +∞?
- FR: Pour le polynôme f(x) = −2x³ + 5x − 1, que se passe-t-il avec f(x) lorsque x → +∞?
- Choices: A) f(x) → +∞ B) f(x) → −∞ C) f(x) → 0 D) f(x) → 1
- Hint: The leading term determines end behaviour. A negative leading coefficient with odd degree: as x → +∞, the function goes to −∞.
- Steps:
- Leading term: −2x³.
- Negative coefficient, odd exponent.
- As x → +∞, −2x³ → −∞.
- Answer: f(x) → −∞
[Hard] Permutations With Restrictions
- EN: How many 4-digit numbers can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 without repetition if the first digit must be odd?
- FR: Combien de nombres à 4 chiffres peuvent être formés avec les chiffres 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 sans répétition si le premier chiffre doit être impair?
- Choices: A) 48 B) 72 C) 96 D) 120
- Hint: Count choices at each position separately. Odd digits among 1−5 are: 1, 3, 5 — that gives 3 choices for the first spot. Then fill the rest without repetition.
- Steps:
- First digit (odd): 3 choices (1, 3, or 5).
- Second digit: 4 remaining choices.
- Third digit: 3. Fourth digit: 2. Total: 3 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 72.
- Answer: 72
[Hard] Derivative — Optimisation
- EN: The revenue function for a lemonade stand is R(x) = −3x² + 120x, where x is the number of cups sold. How many cups should be sold to maximize revenue?
- FR: La fonction de revenu d'un stand de limonade est R(x) = −3x² + 120x, où x est le nombre de verres vendus. Combien de verres doit-on vendre pour maximiser le revenu?
- Choices: A) 15 cups B) 20 cups C) 25 cups D) 40 cups
- Hint: Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for x. For R(x) = −2x² + 80x: R'(x) = −4x + 80 = 0, so x = 20.
- Steps:
- R'(x) = −6x + 120.
- Set R'(x) = 0: −6x + 120 = 0 → 6x = 120 → x = 20.
- Sell 20 cups to maximize revenue.
- Answer: 20 cups

A Story of Kindness
At the farmers' market in Portage la Prairie, a girl named Rosalie was helping her grandmother sell tomatoes when she noticed an elderly man drop all his change on the ground. Rosalie quickly ran over and helped him pick up every single coin, even rolling ones under the table. The man smiled and thanked her warmly, saying she had made his whole day brighter. Rosalie returned to her stall feeling proud, knowing that a small act of kindness could matter so much.
