The curved surface area of a cylinder 5cm high is 110cm2. Find the radius of its base
π = $\frac{22}{7}$

Answer Details

The problem gives us the height and curved surface area of a cylinder and asks us to find the radius of its base. The formula for the curved surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height. We are given h = 5cm and curved surface area = 110cm². Substituting these values into the formula, we get: 2πr(5) = 110 Simplifying, we get: πr = 11 Dividing both sides by π, we get: r = 11/π The value of π is given as 22/7, so substituting this in the equation, we get: r = 11/(22/7) r = 3.5cm Therefore, the radius of the cylinder is 3.5cm. Option (B) is the correct answer.

If y = 2x3 + 6x2 + 6x + 1, Find $\frac{dy}{dx}$

Answer Details

The derivative of y with respect to x, denoted as dy/dx, is the rate at which y changes with respect to x. To find dy/dx, we need to apply the power rule and the sum rule for differentiation. The power rule states that d(x^n)/dx = nx^(n-1). The sum rule states that d(f(x) + g(x))/dx = df(x)/dx + dg(x)/dx. Given that y = 2x^3 + 6x^2 + 6x + 1, we can differentiate it term by term: d(2x^3)/dx = 6x^2 d(6x^2)/dx = 12x d(6x)/dx = 6 d(1)/dx = 0 Applying the sum rule, we have: dy/dx = 6x^2 + 12x + 6 So, the answer is 6x^2 + 12x + 6.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is a given as 1080o. Find the number of the sides of the polygon.

Answer Details

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula (n-2)180, where n is the number of sides of the polygon. Setting this formula equal to 1080, we get (n-2)180 = 1080. Simplifying this equation, we get n-2 = 6, and therefore n = 8. Hence, the polygon has 8 sides. Therefore, the answer is 8.

If a car travels 120km on 45 litres of petrol, how much petrol is needed for a journey of 600km?

Answer Details

To find out how much petrol is needed for a journey of 600 km, we need to use the given information about the car's fuel consumption. The car travels 120 km on 45 litres of petrol, so we can set up a proportion: 120 km / 45 litres = 600 km / x litres We can cross-multiply to solve for x: 120 km * x litres = 45 litres * 600 km x = (45 litres * 600 km) / 120 km x = 225 litres Therefore, the amount of petrol needed for a journey of 600 km is 225 litres. So the correct option is: 225 litres.

Find the mean of 10, 8, 5, 11, 12, 9, 6, 3, 15, and 23.

Answer Details

To find the mean of a set of numbers, you add up all the numbers and then divide by the total count of numbers. So, for the given set of numbers, we add them up: 10 + 8 + 5 + 11 + 12 + 9 + 6 + 3 + 15 + 23 = 102 There are 10 numbers in the set, so we divide the sum by 10: 102 ÷ 10 = 10.2 Therefore, the mean of the given set of numbers is 10.2. So the answer is 10.2.

If the mean of 4, y, 8 and 10 is 7. Find y?

Answer Details

To find the value of y, we need to use the formula for calculating the mean (also known as the average). The formula for calculating the mean of a set of numbers is: mean = (sum of numbers) / (number of numbers) In this case, we know that the mean of the numbers 4, y, 8, and 10 is 7. So we can plug in these values into the formula and solve for y: 7 = (4 + y + 8 + 10) / 4 Multiplying both sides by 4 gives us: 28 = 4 + y + 8 + 10 Simplifying the right side of the equation gives us: 28 = y + 22 Subtracting 22 from both sides gives us: 6 = y Therefore, the value of y that makes the mean of 4, y, 8, and 10 equal to 7 is 6. So the answer is 6.

Given U = {x is a positive integer less than 15} and P = {x is even number from 1 to 14}. Find the compliment.

Answer Details

The complement of a set contains all the elements that are not in the set. In this problem, the universal set is U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}, which is the set of positive integers less than 15. The set P = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14} is the set of even numbers from 1 to 14. To find the complement of P, we need to determine the set of all elements that are not in P. Since every positive integer less than 15 is either even or odd, we can determine the complement of P by finding the set of all odd numbers less than 15. This set is {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13}. Therefore, the answer is {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13}.

If Q is a factor of 18 and T is prime numbers between 2 and 18. What is Q$\cap$T?

Answer Details

Given that Q is a factor of 18, the possible values of Q are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. We also know that T is a prime number between 2 and 18. The prime numbers between 2 and 18 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 17. To find the intersection of Q and T, we look for the values that are common to both sets. The only values of Q that are also in the set of prime numbers between 2 and 18 are 2 and 3. Therefore, the intersection of Q and T is (2, 3). So the answer is: (2, 3).

The venn diagram above shows a class of 40 students with the games they play. How many of the students play two games only?

Answer Details

To find the number of students who play two games only, we need to add up the number of students in the regions of the Venn diagram that represent playing two games only. Looking at the diagram, we can see that there are two regions that represent playing two games only: the intersection of the football and basketball circles, and the intersection of the basketball and volleyball circles. The number of students who play two games only is the sum of the number of students in these two regions. From the diagram, we can see that there are 7 students in the football and basketball region, and 8 students in the basketball and volleyball region. Therefore, the total number of students who play two games only is: 7 + 8 = 15 So, 15 of the 40 students play two games only.

Calculate the perimeter of a sector of a circle of radius 9cm and angle 36o.

Answer Details

The perimeter of a sector of a circle is the sum of the arc length and the two radii. To find the perimeter, we need to first find the arc length using the formula: arc length = (angle/360) x 2 x π x radius In this case, the angle is given as 36°, the radius is given as 9cm, and π is approximately equal to 3.14. Substituting these values into the formula, we get: arc length = (36/360) x 2 x 3.14 x 9 = 2.83 cm (rounded to two decimal places) Now, we can find the perimeter by adding the two radii to the arc length: perimeter = 2 x 9 + 2.83 = 20.83 cm Therefore, the answer is (B) (18 + 9π/5) cm, rounded to two decimal places.
