The figure represents the graphs of y = x(2 - x) and y = (x - 1)(x - 3). What are the x-coordinates of P, Q and F respectively?

Détails de la réponse

To find the x-coordinates of P, Q, and F, we need to solve the system of equations formed by setting the two equations equal to each other: x(2 - x) = (x - 1)(x - 3) Expanding the right-hand side and simplifying, we get: 2x - x^2 = x^2 - 4x + 3 Rearranging and simplifying, we get a quadratic equation in standard form: x^2 - 6x + 3 = 0 Using the quadratic formula, we get: x = (6 ± sqrt(6^2 - 4*1*3)) / (2*1) = 3 ± sqrt(3) Therefore, the x-coordinates of P, Q, and F are 1, 3, and 3 - sqrt(3) or approximately 1.268, respectively. To see why, we can plot the two functions and visually determine the x-coordinates of the points where they intersect. Point P is where the blue line intersects the x-axis, which occurs at x = 1. Point Q is where the red line intersects the x-axis, which occurs at x = 3. Point F is where the two lines intersect above the x-axis, which occurs at x = 3 - sqrt(3) or approximately 1.268. Therefore, the answer is 1, 2, 3.

From the figure, calculate TH in centimeters

Détails de la réponse

TH = tan 45${}^{\circ }$, TH = QH

$\frac{TH}{5+QH}$ = tan 30${}^{\circ }$

TH = (b + QH) tan 30${}^{\circ }$

QH = 56 (5 + QH) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

QH(1 - $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$) = $\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}$

QH = $\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

= $\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}-1}$

The following marks were obtained by twenty students in an examination: 53, 30, 70, 84, 59, 43, 90, 20, 78, 48, 44, 60, 81, 73, 50, 37, 67, 68, 64, 52. Find the numbers of students who scored at least 50 marks

Détails de la réponse

To find the number of students who scored at least 50 marks, we need to count the number of marks that are greater than or equal to 50. Looking at the marks obtained by the students, we can see that there are 14 marks that are greater than or equal to 50. Therefore, the number of students who scored at least 50 marks is 14. We can count these marks by going through the list one by one, or by using a table or chart to organize the data. It's important to pay close attention to the wording of the question and to make sure we're answering the question being asked. In this case, the question is asking for the number of students, not the number of marks.

The mean of the ages of ten secondary school pupils is 16 but when the age of their teacher is added to it the men becomes 19. Find the age of the teacher

Détails de la réponse

Let the age of the teacher be T. According to the problem, the mean age of the 10 pupils is 16. Therefore, the sum of their ages is 10 x 16 = 160. When the teacher's age is added to it, the sum becomes 160 + T. Also, it is given that the new mean age after adding the teacher's age is 19. So, we have: (160 + T) / 11 = 19 Multiplying both sides by 11, we get: 160 + T = 209 Subtracting 160 from both sides, we get: T = 49 Therefore, the age of the teacher is 49.

Calculate the standard deviation of the following data: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.

Détails de la réponse

To calculate the standard deviation, we need to first find the mean (average) of the data. Mean = (7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13) / 7 = 10 Next, we need to find the difference between each data point and the mean, and square the differences. (7-10)^2 = 9 (8-10)^2 = 4 (9-10)^2 = 1 (10-10)^2 = 0 (11-10)^2 = 1 (12-10)^2 = 4 (13-10)^2 = 9 Then, we add up all of these squared differences and divide by the total number of data points. (9 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 9) / 7 = 28 / 7 = 4 Finally, we take the square root of this result to find the standard deviation. Standard deviation = √4 = 2 Therefore, the standard deviation of the given data is 2.

In the figure, the area of the square of the square PQRS is 100cm2. If the ratio of the area of the square TUYS to the area of the area of the square XQVU is 1 : 16, Find YR

Détails de la réponse

Since area of square PQRS = 100cm2

each lenght = 10cm

Also TUYS : XQVU = 1 : 16

lengths are in ratio 1 : 4, hence TU : UV = 1: 4

Let TU = x

UV = 1: 4

hence TV = x + 4x = 5x = 10cm

x = 2cm

TU = 2cm

UV = 8cm

But TU = SY and UV = YR

YR = 8cm

If 2log3 y + log3 x2 = 4, then y is

Détails de la réponse

The given equation is 2log3 y + log3 x2 = 4. We can simplify this equation using the laws of logarithms. First, we can use the power rule of logarithms to rewrite x2 as (x)2. Then, we can use the product rule of logarithms to combine the two logarithms on the left-hand side of the equation: 2log3 y + log3 (x)2 = log3 y2 + log3 (x)2 Now, we can use the sum rule of logarithms to combine the two logarithms on the right-hand side of the equation: log3 y2(x)2 = log3 (x2y2) We can now rewrite the original equation as: log3 (x2y2) = 4 Using the definition of logarithms, we know that log3 (x2y2) = 4 is equivalent to 3^4 = x2y2. Therefore, we have: x2y2 = 81 Taking the square root of both sides, we get: xy = ±9 Since y is a positive real number, we can discard the negative solution. Therefore, we have: xy = 9 Finally, we can solve for y: y = 9/x So, the answer is "±9/x".

If ₦225.00 yields ₦27.00 in x years simple interest at the rate of 4% per annum, find x

Détails de la réponse

To solve this problem, we use the formula for simple interest: I = P*r*t Where: I = Interest earned P = Principal amount r = Rate of interest per year (as a decimal) t = Time period in years In this case, we are given: P = ₦225.00 (the principal amount) I = ₦27.00 (the interest earned) r = 4% = 0.04 (the rate of interest per year) Substituting these values into the formula, we get: 27 = 225 * 0.04 * t Simplifying the equation, we have: 27 = 9t Dividing both sides by 9, we get: t = 3 Therefore, the answer is 3 years. Explanation: The interest earned on the principal amount of ₦225.00 is ₦27.00. This means that for every year, the interest earned is 27/225 = 0.12 or 12% of the principal amount. We know that the rate of interest per year is 4%, which is much lower than the interest earned per year of 12%. This means that it will take more than 1 year for the interest earned to reach the rate of interest. In fact, it takes 3 years for the interest earned to reach the rate of interest of 4%, which is why the answer is 3.

If sin x = cos 50o, then x equals

Détails de la réponse

We know that sin x = cos 50°. To solve for x, we need to find the angle whose sine is equal to cos 50°. We can use the trigonometric identity that sin (90° - θ) = cos θ. So, sin x = cos 50° can be rewritten as sin x = sin (90° - 50°). Using the identity, we have: sin x = sin 40° Now, we need to find the angle x whose sine is equal to sin 40°. Since sine is a periodic function, there are multiple angles whose sine is equal to a given value. One such angle is x = 40°. However, sine is also negative in the third and fourth quadrants. In the third quadrant, x = 180° - 40° = 140° and in the fourth quadrant, x = 360° - 40° = 320° also satisfy the equation sin x = sin 40°. However, since x has to be between 0° and 360°, we can eliminate the30°. Therefore, the possible values of x are 40°, 140°, and 320°. However, since we know that sin x = cos 50° and cos is positive in the first quadrant, x cannot be in the third or fourth quadrants. Therefore, the only possible value of x is x = 40°. Hence, the answer is x = 40°.

A number is selected at random between 20 and 30, both numbers inclusive. Find the probability that the number is a prime

Détails de la réponse

To solve this problem, we need to first determine the set of possible numbers that could be selected at random between 20 and 30. Since the problem states that both 20 and 30 are inclusive, the set of possible numbers is: {20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30} To find the probability that the selected number is prime, we need to determine the number of prime numbers in the set of possible numbers, and then divide that by the total number of possible numbers. Prime numbers are numbers that are only divisible by 1 and themselves. The prime numbers in the set of possible numbers are: { 23, 29 } Therefore, the probability that the selected number is prime is 2/11 or approximately 0.18.

In the diagram above, |PQ| = |QR|, |PS| = |RS|, ∠PSR = 30o and ∠PQR = 80o. Find ∠SPQ.

Join PR
QRP = QPR
= 180 - 80 = 100/20 = 50o
SRP = SPR
= 180 - 30 = 150/2 = 75o
∴ SPQ = SPR - QPR
= 75 - 50 = 25o

Find the area of the sector of a circle with radius 3m, if the angle of the sector is 60o

Détails de la réponse

To find the area of a sector, we use the formula: Area of sector = (θ/360) x πr² Where θ is the angle of the sector in degrees, r is the radius of the circle, and π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14. In this problem, the radius is given as 3m and the angle of the sector is 60°. Substituting these values into the formula, we get: Area of sector = (60/360) x π(3)² = (1/6) x π(9) = (1/6) x 28.27 = 4.71m² (rounded to two decimal places) Therefore, the area of the sector of the circle with radius 3m and angle 60° is approximately 4.71m². The answer is option C.

Make x the subject of the relation $\frac{1+ax}{1-ax}$ = $\frac{p}{q}$

Détails de la réponse

To make x the subject of the given relation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. First, we can simplify the expression by finding the common denominator of the two fractions in the numerator: (1 + ax)/(1 - ax) = (1 - ax + ax + a^2x)/(1 - ax) = (1 + a^2x)/(1 - ax) Now we can cross-multiply to get rid of the denominator: (1 + a^2x) = pq - axpq Next, we can move the term with x to the left-hand side of the equation: a^2x + axpq = pq - 1 Finally, we can factor out x from the two terms on the left-hand side: x(a^2 + apq) = pq - 1 Therefore, we can isolate x by dividing both sides by (a^2 + apq): x = (pq - 1)/(a^2 + apq) So the correct option is: p-q / a(p+q) which is not among the given options.
