Answers:
A. 203°
B. 23°
C. 180°
D. 157°
Correct Answer D: 157°

Sample Question 4
Leaving Certificate – Mathematics – Ordinary Level – Complex Numbers
Question: If z=0+3i, find 2z.
Answers:
A. 6i
B. 6
C. 18i
D. 2 + 3i
Correct Answer A: 6i
Explanation: When multiplying a complex number by a constant, we multiply the constant by each of the terms of the complex numbers. In this case, this gives us 2(0) +2(3i) = 6i
Sample Question 5
Junior Cycle – Mathematics – Financial Maths
Question: A transition year mini company produces small cakes at a cost of €1.20 each and sells them for €2.50. Calculate the profit that the mini company will make if they sell 50 cakes during a bake sale.
Answers:
A. €60
B. €65
C. €125
D. €50
Correct Answer B: €65
Explanation: To calculate the profit made on each cake, we subtract the cost to make each cake €1.20 from the price each cake is sold for €2.50. Therefore, €2.50 (sale price) – €1.20 (cost price) = €1.30 (profit per cake). Then, to calculate the total profit made by the mini company, we simply multiply the total number of cakes sold (50 cakes) by the profit per cake (€1.30). This gives us 50 x €1.30 = €65 Profit.
