A function of the form f(x)= sin(ax+b) is given and plotted. A few points are plotted on the curve. $x$-coordinates are provided for two of them and $y$-coordinate provided for third. Student is required to determine other coordinates.

Solving three simultaneous congruences using the Chinese Remainder Theorem:

\[\begin{eqnarray*} x\;&\equiv&\;b_1\;&\mod&\;n_1\\ x\;&\equiv&\;b_2\;&\mod&\;n_2\\x\;&\equiv&\;b_3\;&\mod&\;n_3 \end{eqnarray*} \] where $\operatorname{gcd}(n_1,n_2,n_3)=1$

This exercise will help you solve equations of type ax-b = c.

This question tests the students ability to factorise simple quadratic equations (where the coefficient of the x^2 term is 1) and use the factorised equation to solve the equation when it is equal to 0.

In the first three parts, rearrange linear inequalities to make $x$ the subject.

In the last four parts, correctly give the direction of the inequality sign after rearranging an inequality.

This question tests the student's ability to solve simple linear equations by elimination. Part a) involves only having to manipulate one equation in order to solve, and part b) involves having to manipulate both equations in order to solve.
