Form 4 and Form 5 Quadratic KBAT Questions
The questions (No. 8, 9 & 10) are in picture (in Malay). Question 7 is not KBAT.

*KBAT = Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi (Higher Order Thinking Skills)
Possible solution are as follows:
8) let the initial average speed & time be v and t respectively.
Same distance of 15 km is travelled one way.
Since 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours, we have:
15 = vt
Or
t = 15/v… (i)
And
15 = (v + 5)(t – 1/4)…(ii)
Put (i) into (ii)
15 = (v + 5)(15/v – 1/4)
15v = (v + 5) (15 – v/4)
60v = (v + 5)(60 – v)
60v = 60v – v^2 + 300 – 5v
v^2 + 5v – 300 = 0
(v + 20)(v – 15) = 0
Since v > 0,
v = 15 km/h (Answer)
9) Let the initial cost shared per student & the initial number of students be c & n respectively.
Then,
cn = 600
Or,
c = 600/n… (i)
And,
(c – 5)(n + 10) = 600… (ii)
Put (i) into (ii)
(600/n – 5)(n + 10) = 600
(600 – 5n)(n + 10) = 600n
600n + 6000 – 5n^2 – 50n = 600n
5n^2 + 50n – 6000 = 0
n^2 + 10n – 1200 = 0
(n + 40)(n – 30) = 0
Since n > 0,
n = 30 ahli kelab siber (Answer)
10) Let the speed of train A be v.
6 minutes
= 6/60 hours = 1/10 hours
In 6 minutes,
Let the Distance travelled by train A = x
x = (v) x (1/10)
x = (v/10)…(i)
Let the Distance travelled by train B = y.
y = (v + 20) x (1/10)
y = (v + 20)/10… (ii)
Since these distances (x and y) are perpendicular to each other forming a right triangle with hypotenuse = 10
We have by Pythagoras Theorem,
x^2 + y^2 = 10^2… (iii)
Put (i) & (ii) into (iii):
(v/10)^2 + ((v + 20)/10)^2 = 10^2
v^2 + (v + 20)^2 = 10000
2v^2 + 40v + 400 = 10000
2v^2 + 40v – 9600 = 0
v^2 + 20v – 4800 = 0
(v + 80)(v – 60) = 0
Since v > 0,
v = 60 km/h (for train A, Answer)
And
20 + 60 = 80 km/h (for train B, Answer)
