if you are having difficulties sending mail msgs, post ur answer here and i'll hide them immediately.
each question carries 2marks!
however, sending thru mail is better so that other participants won't copy your hard earned solution

This thing is too boring!!!

It seems most people are not available in the morning,we could make it take place at 4pm,I think that will be better looking at the time the just concluded debate was held 'cos most of those doing some other things by now should be available by then.

Just like yesterday that some people got here in the evening to ask if they could still participate.

Abi? What do you guys think?

its ☺ķªª¥ like dis jo,most ppl will be leaving dere place of work by 4 or so,so D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ won't be settled down yet

TIME IS UP!!!
QUIZ Master Doubledx will now post the correct solution ..while I post the score card
Get ready for question 2 by Quiz master Alpha maximus

Most ppl av been hammering on this issue of time, like seriously it aint easy been @work and @the same time having full concentration here...I'd rather you address the issue of time...@the moderators....

now It's clear

Oh, if that's the case...I think it's a good idea anyway

doubleDx: Question 1, Round 2

If f(x) = (x² - 2)/(x + 6) for all integers, which of the following
has the greatest value?

A. f(-4)
B. f(0)
C. f(3)
D. f(2)

==========================
Solution to Question 1.
==========================

Given, f(x) = (x² - 2)/(x + 6)
In this case, we'll have to substitute the value of x for each option to know which is the greatest.

For option A. =>

f(-4) = {(-4)² - 2}/{-4 + 6}
f(-4) = {16 - 2}/2
f(-4) = 14/2
f(-4) = 7

For option B. =>
f(0) = {(0)² - 2}/{0 + 6}
f(0) = -2/6
f(0) = -1/3

For option C. =>
f(3) = {(3)² - 2}/{3 + 6}
f(3) = (9 - 2)/9
f(3) = 7/9

For option D. =>
f(2) = {(2)² - 2}/{2 + 6}
f(2) = {4 - 2}/8
f(2) = 2/8
f(2) = 1/4

For the greatest value, option A is correct for all integers!

Thus the correct Answer is A. f(-4)

LOL. Poor me!

I thought you meant the value of x for which f(x) is maximum.
