1. Q1 a) Problem statement: Solve the equation $\frac{m}{2}+\frac{m}{3}+3=2+\frac{m}{6}$.
2. Q1 a) Step 1: Get a common denominator of 6 for the rational terms.
3. Q1 a) Step 2: Rewrite each term with denominator 6 and simplify.
4. Q1 a) Work:
$\frac{m}{2}=\frac{3m}{6}$.
$\frac{m}{3}=\frac{2m}{6}$.
So the left side becomes $\frac{3m}{6}+\frac{2m}{6}+3=\frac{5m}{6}+3$.
5. Q1 a) Continue solving:
$\frac{5m}{6}+3=2+\frac{m}{6}$.
Subtract $\frac{m}{6}$ from both sides to isolate $m$ terms.
$\frac{5m}{6}-\frac{m}{6}+3=2$.
This gives $\frac{4m}{6}+3=2$.
Simplify the fraction to get $\frac{2m}{3}+3=2$.
Subtract 3 from both sides to obtain $\frac{2m}{3}=-1$.
Multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$ to get $m=-\frac{3}{2}$.
6. Q1 a) Final answer:
$m=-\frac{3}{2}=-1.5$.
7. Q1 b) Problem statement: Evaluate $\sqrt{\dfrac{(15.62)^2}{29.21\times\sqrt{10.52}}}$.
8. Q1 b) Step 1: Compute the numerator $(15.62)^2$.
9. Q1 b) Work: $(15.62)^2=243.9844$.
10. Q1 b) Step 2: Compute the inner square root $\sqrt{10.52}$ approximately.
11. Q1 b) Work: $\sqrt{10.52}\approx3.2438$.
12. Q1 b) Step 3: Compute the denominator $29.21\times\sqrt{10.52}$.
13. Q1 b) Work: $29.21\times3.2438\approx94.756$.
14. Q1 b) Step 4: Form the quotient and take the outer square root.
15. Q1 b) Work: $\dfrac{243.9844}{94.756}\approx2.5740$.
$\sqrt{2.5740}\approx1.604$.
16. Q1 b) Final answer:
$\sqrt{\dfrac{(15.62)^2}{29.21\times\sqrt{10.52}}}\approx1.604$.
17. Q1 c) Problem statement: Solve the system $y=x+2$ and $x^{2}+y^{2}=28$.
18. Q1 c) Step 1: Substitute $y=x+2$ into the circle equation.
19. Q1 c) Work:
$x^{2}+(x+2)^{2}=28$.
Expand the square to get $x^{2}+x^{2}+4x+4=28$.
Combine like terms to obtain $2x^{2}+4x+4=28$.
Subtract 28 from both sides to get $2x^{2}+4x-24=0$.
Divide every term by 2 to simplify to $x^{2}+2x-12=0$.
20. Q1 c) Step 2: Solve the quadratic using the quadratic formula.
21. Q1 c) Work:
$x=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{(2)^{2}-4\cdot1\cdot(-12)}}{2\cdot1}$.
Compute the discriminant: $4+48=52$.
So $x=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{52}}{2}=\dfrac{-2\pm2\sqrt{13}}{2}=-1\pm\sqrt{13}$.
22. Q1 c) Step 3: Find corresponding $y$ values by $y=x+2$.
23. Q1 c) Work: If $x=-1+\sqrt{13}$ then $y=1+\sqrt{13}$.
If $x=-1-\sqrt{13}$ then $y=1-\sqrt{13}$.
24. Q1 c) Final answers:
$(x,y)=\left(-1+\sqrt{13},\;1+\sqrt{13}\right)$ and $(x,y)=\left(-1-\sqrt{13},\;1-\sqrt{13}\right)$.
25. Q2 a) Problem statement: Determine $y$ from $\sqrt{\dfrac{y+2}{3-y}}=-15+10$.
26. Q2 a) Step 1: Simplify the right side and examine the equation.
27. Q2 a) Work: The right side is $-15+10=-5$.
So the equation becomes $\sqrt{\dfrac{y+2}{3-y}}=-5$.
28. Q2 a) Step 2: Reason about square root values.
29. Q2 a) Work: The principal square root symbol $\sqrt{\cdot}$ yields a nonnegative value for real inputs.
Therefore it cannot equal $-5$ for any real argument.
30. Q2 a) Final answer:
There is no real solution because a square root cannot be negative.
