Sets
In a survey of 600 students, 150 drink tea, 225 drink coffee and 100 drink both tea and coffee. Find how many students drink neither tea nor coffee.
Reveal model answer + marking pointsHide answer▾
n(T) = 150, n(C) = 225, n(T intersection C) = 100. Students drinking at least one = n(T union C) = n(T) + n(C) - n(T intersection C) = 150 + 225 - 100 = 275. Students drinking neither = total - n(T union C) = 600 - 275 = 325.
neither = n(U) - n(A union B)
Marking-scheme points
- ✓n(T union C) = 150 + 225 - 100 = 275
- ✓Neither = total - n(T union C)
- ✓600 - 275 = 325 students

Verify De Morgan's law (A union B)' = A' intersection B' for U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, A = {2,3,4,5}, B = {4,5,6,7,8}.
Reveal model answer + marking pointsHide answer▾
A union B = {2,3,4,5,6,7,8}, so (A union B)' = U - (A union B) = {1,9,10}. Now A' = {1,6,7,8,9,10} and B' = {1,2,3,9,10}, so A' intersection B' = {1,9,10}. Since (A union B)' = {1,9,10} = A' intersection B', De Morgan's law is verified.
(A union B)' = A' intersection B'
Marking-scheme points
- ✓(A union B)' = {1,9,10}
- ✓A' intersection B' = {1,9,10}
- ✓Both sides equal -> law verified

Relations and Functions
Find the domain and range of the function f(x) = sqrt(9 - x^2).
Reveal model answer + marking pointsHide answer▾
For f(x) to be real, the expression under the square root must be non-negative: 9 - x^2 >= 0, i.e. x^2 <= 9, so -3 <= x <= 3. Hence the domain is [-3, 3]. As x varies over this interval, 9 - x^2 ranges from 0 (at x = +/-3) to 9 (at x = 0), so sqrt(9 - x^2) ranges from 0 to 3. Hence the range is [0, 3].
sqrt() defined only for non-negative values
Marking-scheme points
- ✓Need 9 - x^2 >= 0 -> -3 <= x <= 3, domain [-3, 3]
- ✓9 - x^2 lies between 0 and 9
- ✓Range = [0, 3]
