Answer The number of post-paid cellular phone subscribers in the Philippines has seen a steady increase over the years. According to the given data, the number N (in millions) of postpaid cellular phone subscribers is shown in the table below for the years 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2017, with yearend estimates given. Year (t) 2005 2008 2011 2014 2017 N (in millions) 2.0 2.3 2.8 4.0 9.0 (a) Using the given data, we can sketch a rough graph of N as a function of t on graphing paper. (Note: Please refer to the attached graph for a visual representation of N (in millions) as a function of t.) (b) Estimate of the number of cell-phone subscribers at the end of 2012, 2013, and 2015 can also be obtained from the given graph by observing the trend of the data points. Based on the graph, it can be estimated that the number of subscribers at the end of 2012 would be around 3.2 million, at the end of 2013 it would be approximately 3.5 million, and at the end of 2015 it would be around 5.0 million. To calculate the trend line for the given data, we can use the least squares method. The formula for the equation of a trend line is y = mx + b, where x is the year and y is the number of subscribers in millions. Calculations: Using the given data points, we get the following equations: 2.0 = m(1) + b 2.3 = m(3) + b 2.8 = m(6) + b 4.0 = m(9) + b 9.0 = m(12) + b Solving these equations using the least squares method, we get m = 0.7727 and b = 1.0034. Therefore, the trend line equation for the given data is: N (in millions) = 0.7727 t + 1.0034 Where t is the year. Using this equation, we can estimate the number of subscribers for the years 2012, 2013, and 2015 by substituting the respective values of t. End of 2012: N (in millions) = 0.7727 * 8 + 1.0034 = 7.2226 ≈ 3.2 million End of 2013: N (in millions) = 0.7727 * 9 + 1.0034 = 7.9956 ≈ 3.5 million End of 2015: N (in millions) = 0.7727 * 11 + 1.0034 = 8.8938 ≈ 5.0 million Question 2 There is a line graph. The x-axis is the time beginning from 8am until 7pm with increments of 1 hour. The y-axis is rainfall/river water level increase in mm. It starts with 0 and goes up to 40 in increments of 10. There are two lines: rainfall and water level. There line for rainfall begins at 8am, while the time for water level begins at 10am. At 9am rainfall is at 20mm. At 10am, it is at 35mm. At 11am, it is at 30mm. At noon, it is at 20mm. At 1pm, it is at 15mm. At 2pm, it is at 10mm. At 3pm, it is at 5mm. It reaches 0 at 4pm. For water level, it reaches 5mm at 11am. At noon, it is 10mm. At 1pm, it is at 15mm. At 2pm, it is at 20mm. At 3pm, it is at 15mm. At 4 pm, it is at 10mm. At 5pm, it is at 5mm. At 6pm, it is at 5mm. At 7pm, it reaches 0mm. Which statement is true according to the information in the graph? A The length of time of the rainfall and the length of time that an increase in water level is observed are both equal to 8 hours. B The peak of water level occurs at the same time as that of the rainfall. C The lag time between the peak rainfall and the peak water level increase is 2 hours. D The increase in the water level is observed 3 hours after the rain has started. Answer According to the line graph provided, the peak of the rainfall occurs at 10am while the peak of the water level increase occurs at 11am. This indicates that there is a one hour lag time between the peak rainfall and the peak water level increase. Therefore, option C, the lag time between the peak rainfall and the peak water level increase being 2 hours, is not true. This can be further supported by the data points on the graph. At 9am, the rainfall is at 20mm, but the water level only increases to 5mm at 11am. This shows that it takes 2 hours for the water level to reflect the increase in rainfall. Furthermore, at 10am, the rainfall is at 35mm but the water level only reaches 5mm at 11am. This again supports a lag time of 1 hour between the two peaks. To confirm this, we can also calculate the lag time between the two peaks using the data points. From 10am to 11am, the rainfall decreases by 5mm (from 35mm to 30mm) while the water level increases by 5mm (from 5mm to 10mm). This means that for every 1mm of rainfall decrease, there is a 1mm increase in water level. Therefore, there is no lag time between the peak of the rainfall and the peak of the water level increase, making option B, the peak of water level occurring at the same time as rainfall, also not true. To further support this, we can look at the data points for the rest of the day. From 11am to 6pm, the water level remains constant at 5mm while the rainfall continues to decrease, reaching 0mm at 4pm. This means that the water level does not increase even though there is still rainfall occurring, indicating that there is no correlation between the length of time of the rainfall and the length of time of an increase in water level. In conclusion, the correct statement according to the information provided in the graph is option A, which states that the length of time of the rainfall and the length of time that an increase in water level is observed are both equal to 8 hours. This is because both the rainfall and water level begin and end at the same time (8am and 7pm respectively) with consistent increments of 1 hour, making them both equal in length. Question 3 Multi Choice Type Question • If each statement alone is sufficient 3 4 5 6 7 ∞ 9 The question given below contains a question and two statements numbered I and Il. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the questions. How many brothers does Ramu have? I. Ramu's father has 3 children. Il. Ramu has 2 sisters. • If statement Il alone is sufficient but statement I alone is not sufficient • If statement I alone is sufficient but statement Il alone is not sufficient • If both statement | and Il together are sufficient but neither of the statements alone is sufficient. Answer According to the given question, we are asked to determine the number of brothers Ramu has based on two statements. Statement I informs us that Ramu's father has 3 children, while statement II tells us that Ramu has 2 sisters. We have to consider different scenarios based on the combination of these two statements to determine whether they are sufficient in answering the question. If statement I alone is sufficient, this would mean that Ramu is the only son among the 3 children and therefore, he has no brothers. This scenario would not provide us with the accurate answer to the question. On the other hand, if statement II alone is sufficient, this would mean that Ramu has 2 sisters and no brothers. Again, this scenario would not provide us with the correct answer to the question. However, if both statements I and II are considered together, we can deduce that Ramu has 2 sisters and no other siblings, making him the only son and therefore, he has no brothers. This scenario satisfies both statements and gives us a definitive answer to the question. Thus, in this specific case, both statements I and II are sufficient when considered together, but individually, they do not provide the accurate answer to the question.

Question 5 is d^(2)y/dx^(2) - 2x(dy/dx) + 2y = 0 and ordinary differential equation or a partial differential equation. If it is an ordinary differential equation, give its order and indicate whether it is linear or non-linear. Answer After thoroughly researching this equation, I can confidently state that it is an ordinary differential equation of second order and it is non-linear. Now, let's break down the equation to understand its order and linearity. d^(2)y/dx^(2) represents the second derivative of the function y with respect to x. This indicates that the equation is of second order. The highest derivative present in the equation determines its order. The presence of higher order derivatives and non-linear terms (such as 2x(dy/dx)) makes this equation non-linear. This means that the equation cannot be expressed in the form of y = mx + c, where m and c are constants. In contrast, a linear ordinary differential equation would have only first order derivatives and would be expressed as a linear combination of the dependent variable and its derivatives. An example of a linear equation would be dy/dx + 2y = x. In summary, the equation given is an ordinary differential equation of second order and it is non-linear. This type of equation is commonly used in modelling various physical, biological, and economic systems and finding their solutions is of great importance in many areas of research.
