The cost of a plate of chicken rice is higher than that of a cup of tea. The cost in dollars
and cents is such that 5 times the square of the cost of a cup of tea, subtracted from the
square of the cost of a plate of chicken rice, is equal to the difference between the costs of
each item, while the total cost of 5 cups of tea and a plate of chicken rice is equal to 5
times of the difference between the costs of each item. Find the total cost of 3 plates of
chicken rice and 3 cups of tea.

Sketch the graph of y = ln (x + 3), where x > 3, indicating the x-intercept and y-intercept
clearly. Hence, on the same axes, sketch the straight line required to illustrate how a
graphical solution of e5 3x ex = 3e may be obtained.

12 A particle moves in a straight line such that t seconds after leaving a fixed point O, its
velocity is given by v = kt 30 t2, where k is a constant. The particle comes to rest at
point P, 3 seconds after leaving O.
(a) Find the value of t at point Q when the particle again comes to rest.
