From the top of a cliff 20m high, a boat can be sighted at sea 75m from the foot of the cliff. Calculate the angle of depression of the boat from the top of the cliff

Antwoorddetails

We can solve this problem using trigonometry. The angle of depression is the angle between the horizontal line and the line of sight from the top of the cliff to the boat. To find this angle, we need to first find the length of the line of sight. Let's call the angle of depression θ, the height of the cliff h, and the distance from the foot of the cliff to the boat d. From the problem statement, we know that h = 20m and d = 75m. We can use the tangent function to find the length of the line of sight: tan(θ) = h / d tan(θ) = 20 / 75 tan(θ) = 0.2667 To find θ, we need to take the inverse tangent (or arctangent) of both sides: θ = tan^-1(0.2667) Using a calculator, we get: θ ≈ 14.9° Therefore, the angle of depression of the boat from the top of the cliff is approximately 14.9°. Answer: 14.9°

In the diagram above, RST is a tangent to circle VSU center O ∠SVU = 50° and UV is a diameter. Calculate ∠RSV.

Antwoorddetails

Since UV is a diameter of circle VSU, we know that ∠VUS = 90°. Also, since RST is tangent to circle VSU at S, then ∠VST = 90°. Therefore, ∠VUS + ∠VST = 90° + 90° = 180°. Since VSU is a straight line, then ∠SUV = 180° - ∠SVU - ∠VUS = 180° - 50° - 90° = 40°. Since RST is tangent to circle VSU at S, then ∠RST = ∠SVU = 50° (tangent and radius form a right angle). Finally, we can calculate ∠RSV using the fact that the angles of a triangle sum up to 180°: ∠RSV = 180° - ∠VUS - ∠SUV - ∠RST = 180° - 90° - 40° - 50° = 0° Therefore, the answer is (d) 40°. Note that this is a trick question, as ∠RSV is not defined in this case since R, S, and V are collinear.

The sides of a right angle triangle in ascending order of magnitude are 8cm, (x-2)cm and x cm. Find x

Antwoorddetails

In a right angle triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Using this theorem, we can write the following equation: x² = 8² + (x-2)² Expanding the brackets, we get: x² = 64 + x² - 4x + 4 Simplifying and rearranging, we get: 4x = 68 x = 17 Therefore, the value of x is 17, which is the second option.

The height of a pyramid on square base is 15cm. If the volume is 80cm\(^3\), find the length of the side of the base

Antwoorddetails

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula: V = 1/3 * Base Area * Height The base of a square pyramid is a square, so the Base Area is equal to the side length squared (B = s²). In this problem, the height is given as 15cm, and the volume is given as 80cm³. We are asked to find the length of a side of the base. Let's call that length "s". So we can set up an equation using the formula for the volume of a pyramid: 80 = 1/3 * s² * 15 To solve for s, we can start by simplifying the equation: 240 = s² * 15 Dividing both sides by 15: 16 = s² Taking the square root of both sides (and remembering to consider both the positive and negative square roots): s = ±4 Since we are dealing with the length of a side of a pyramid, the answer cannot be negative. Therefore, the length of a side of the base is 4cm (option C). Answer: 4.0cm

Amina had m mangoes. She ate 3 and shared the remainder equally with her brother Uche. Each had at least 10. Which of the following inequalities represents the statements above.

Antwoorddetails

Amina started with m mangoes, ate 3 and shared the remainder equally with her brother Uche, which means she gave \(\frac{m-3}{2}\) mangoes to Uche. The statement "each had at least 10" means that the number of mangoes each of them had is greater than or equal to 10. Therefore, the correct inequality is: \[\frac{m-3}{2}\ge10\] This means that the number of mangoes Amina started with minus 3, divided by 2, must be greater than or equal to 10, which implies that each of them had at least 10 mangoes.

A car travel at x km per hour for 1 hour and at y km per hour for 2 hours. Find its average speed

Antwoorddetails

The average speed of a car is given by the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. Let's assume that the car traveled a distance of D km in the given time. Then, we can write: Total time taken = 1 hour + 2 hours = 3 hours Distance traveled in the first hour = x km Distance traveled in the next 2 hours = y × 2 = 2y km Total distance traveled = D = x + 2y km Therefore, the average speed of the car is: Average speed = Total distance / Total time = D / 3 = (x + 2y) / 3 km/h Hence, the answer is option (C): \(\frac{x + 2y}{3}kmh^{-1}\).

The height and base of a triangle are in ratio 1:3 respectively. If the area of the triangle is 216 cm\(^2\), find the length of the base.

Antwoorddetails

We know that the area of a triangle is given by the formula: Area = (1/2) x base x height Let the height of the triangle be h and the base be b. We are given that h:b = 1:3, which means that h = (1/3)b. Substituting this value of h in the formula for the area, we get: 216 = (1/2) x b x (1/3)b Multiplying both sides by 6 to get rid of the fraction, we get: 1296 = b^2 Taking the square root of both sides, we get: b = ±36 Since the base of a triangle cannot be negative, we take the positive value of b, which is b = 36. Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 36 cm, and the correct option is "36cm".

If \(tan x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\), find cos x - sin x such that \(0^o \leq x \leq 90^o\)

Antwoorddetails

Given that \(\tan x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\), we can draw a right-angled triangle where the opposite side is equal to 1 and the adjacent side is equal to \(\sqrt{3}\), and the hypotenuse is equal to 2. Therefore, sin x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and cos x = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\). Now, cos x - sin x = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) - \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}\). Hence, the correct option is \(\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2}\).

Solve the inequality 2x + 3 < 5x

Antwoorddetails

To solve the inequality 2x + 3 < 5x, we want to isolate x on one side of the inequality sign. We can do this by subtracting 2x from both sides of the inequality: 2x + 3 < 5x -2x -2x 3 < 3x Now we have 3 < 3x. To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 3: 3 < 3x /3 /3 1 < x So the solution to the inequality 2x + 3 < 5x is x > 1. This means that any value of x that is greater than 1 will make the inequality true. For example, if x = 2, then 2(2) + 3 = 7, which is indeed less than 5(2) = 10. Therefore, the correct option is "x > 1".

Simplify \(\frac{4}{x+1}-\frac{3}{x-1}\)

Antwoorddetails

To simplify \(\frac{4}{x+1}-\frac{3}{x-1}\), we first need to find a common denominator for the two fractions. The common denominator is \((x+1)(x-1)\), so we can rewrite the expression as follows: $$\frac{4(x-1)}{(x+1)(x-1)} - \frac{3(x+1)}{(x+1)(x-1)}$$ Next, we can combine the two fractions by subtracting the second fraction from the first, giving us: $$\frac{4(x-1)-3(x+1)}{(x+1)(x-1)}$$ Simplifying the numerator, we get: $$\frac{4x-4-3x-3}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \frac{x-7}{x^2-1}$$ Therefore, the answer is $\frac{x-7}{x^2-1}$

Simplify \(\frac{2-18m^2}{1+3m}\)

Antwoorddetails

To simplify the given expression, we need to factorize the numerator and denominator, then cancel out any common factors. The numerator can be factorized as the difference of two squares: 2 - 18m^2 = 2(1 - 9m^2) = 2(1 + 3m)(1 - 3m) The denominator is already factorized: 1 + 3m Now we can cancel out the common factor of (1 + 3m) from the numerator and denominator: \[\frac{2-18m^2}{1+3m} = \frac{2(1+3m)(1-3m)}{1+3m} = 2(1-3m)\] Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is 2(1-3m).

If \(x^2 +15x + 50 = ax^2 + bx + c = 0\). Which of the following statement is not true?

Antwoorddetails

Given the quadratic equation: \(x^2 +15x + 50 = ax^2 + bx + c = 0\), where a, b, and c are constants. The question is asking which of the following statements is not true. We can first use the quadratic formula to find the values of x in terms of a, b, and c: $$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$ Comparing this with the given equation, we have: $$a = 1, \quad b = 15, \quad c = 50$$ Using the quadratic formula, we have: $$x = \dfrac{-15 \pm \sqrt{15^2 - 4(1)(50)}}{2(1)} = -5, -10$$ So, statement (a) x = -5 is true. To find out which statement is not true, we can check each option. Statement (b) x = 10: We can see that this is not a solution to the quadratic equation. Statement (c) x + 10 = 0: This can be rewritten as x = -10, which is a solution to the quadratic equation. Statement (d) bc = 750: Multiplying the coefficients of x gives: b*c = a*(-50) = -50a, so this statement is true. Therefore, the statement that is not true is (b) x = 10.

If \(K\sqrt{28}+\sqrt{63}-\sqrt{7}=0\), find K.

So the answer is (B) -1.

Antwoorddetails

There are 11 people in total, and we know that some of them can speak English only, some of them can speak French only, and some of them can speak both English and French. Let's denote the number of people who can speak both languages as "x". From the information given, we know that: - 7 people can speak English, including those who can speak both languages (which means that some of these 7 people can also speak French) - 6 people can speak French, including those who can speak both languages (which means that some of these 6 people can also speak English) To find the number of people who can speak both languages, we can use the formula: Total = English only + French only + Both - Neither We know that there are no people who can speak neither language, so we can simplify the formula to: Total = English only + French only + Both Substituting the given values, we get: 11 = 7 - x + 6 - x + x 11 = 13 - x x = 2 So, there are 2 people who can speak both English and French. The probability of choosing a person who can speak both languages out of the 11 people is: Probability = Number of people who can speak both / Total number of people Probability = 2 / 11 Therefore, the answer is \(\frac{2}{11}\).

Water flows from a tap into cylindrical container at the rate 5πcm\(^3\) per second. If the radius of the container is 3cm, calculate the level of water in the container at the end of 9 seconds.

Antwoorddetails

To solve the problem, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr\(^2\)h where V is the volume of the water in the cylinder, r is the radius of the cylinder, and h is the height of the water in the cylinder. We know that water is flowing into the cylinder at a rate of 5π cm\(^3\) per second, which means that the volume of the water in the cylinder is increasing at a rate of 5π cm\(^3\) per second. We want to find the height of the water in the cylinder at the end of 9 seconds. Let's use h to represent the height of the water in the cylinder after 9 seconds. The increase in volume of the water in the cylinder after 9 seconds is: ΔV = 5π x 9 ΔV = 45π So, the volume of the water in the cylinder after 9 seconds is: V = πr\(^2\)h + 45π Since the radius of the cylinder is 3cm, we can substitute this value into the formula: V = π x 3\(^2\) x h + 45π V = 9πh + 45π We know that the volume of the water in the cylinder after 9 seconds is equal to the height of the water multiplied by the area of the base of the cylinder (which is πr\(^2\)): V = πr\(^2\)h 9πh + 45π = π x 3\(^2\) x h 9πh + 45π = 9πh 45π = 0 This equation has no solution, which means that something went wrong in our calculations. We made a mistake in assuming that the volume of the water in the cylinder was increasing at a constant rate of 5π cm\(^3\) per second. In reality, the rate of increase of the volume of water is not constant, because the height of the water in the cylinder is also increasing. To calculate the correct height of the water in the cylinder after 9 seconds, we need to integrate the rate of increase of the volume of water over time. The rate of increase of the volume of water at any time t is given by: dV/dt = πr\(^2\) dh/dt We know that the radius of the cylinder is 3cm and the rate of flow of water is 5π cm\(^3\) per second. So, we can write: dV/dt = π x 3\(^2\) x dh/dt 5π = 9π dh/dt dh/dt = 5/9 cm/s This means that the height of the water in the cylinder is increasing at a rate of 5/9 cm/s. We want to find the height of the water in the cylinder after 9 seconds. Let's use h to represent the height of the water in the cylinder after 9 seconds. The increase in height of the water in the cylinder after 9 seconds is: Δh = (5/9) x 9 Δh = 5 So, the height of the water in the cylinder after 9 seconds is: h = 5 + 0 h = 5cm Therefore, the correct answer is 5cm.

Given that \(81\times 2^{2n-2} = K, find \sqrt{K}\)

Antwoorddetails

To find $\sqrt{K}\backslash sqrt\{K\}$ given that $81\times 2^{2n-2}=K81\; \backslash times\; 2^\{2n-2\}\; =\; K$, we need to simplify the

expression step-by-step.

First,

rewrite $8181$ in terms of powers of $33$: $81=3^{4}81\; =\; 3^4$

So,

the given equation becomes: $K=3^4\times 2^{2n-2}K\; =\; 3^4\; \backslash times\; 2^\{2n-2\}$

Next,

we need to find $\sqrt{K}\backslash sqrt\{K\}$: $\sqrt{K}=\sqrt{3^4\times 2^{2n-2}}\backslash sqrt\{K\}\; =\; \backslash sqrt\{3^4\; \backslash times\; 2^\{2n-2\}\}$

Using the property of square roots $\sqrt{a\times b}=\sqrt{a}\times \sqrt{b}\backslash sqrt\{a\; \backslash times\; b\}\; =\; \backslash sqrt\{a\}\; \backslash times\; \backslash sqrt\{b\}$: $\sqrt{K}=\sqrt{3^4}\times \sqrt{2^{2n-2}}\backslash sqrt\{K\}\; =\; \backslash sqrt\{3^4\}\; \backslash times\; \backslash sqrt\{2^\{2n-2\}\}$

Since $\sqrt{3^4}=3^2=9\backslash sqrt\{3^4\}\; =\; 3^2\; =\; 9$ and $\sqrt{2^{2n-2}}=2^{(2n-2)\mathrm{/}2}=2^{n-1}\backslash sqrt\{2^\{2n-2\}\}\; =\; 2^\{(2n-2)/2\}\; =\; 2^\{n-1\}$: $\sqrt{K}=9\times 2^{n-1}\backslash sqrt\{K\}\; =\; 9\; \backslash times\; 2^\{n-1\}$

Thus, the correct answer is: $\boxed{{\displaystyle 9\times 2^{n-1}}}\backslash boxed\{9\; \backslash times\; 2^\{n-1\}\}$ =

Simplify 3.72 x 0.025 and express your answer in the standard form

Antwoorddetails

To multiply 3.72 by 0.025, we can first ignore the decimal points and treat the numbers as if they were whole numbers, i.e., 372 and 25. We multiply these numbers to get 9300. Next, we need to determine the power of 10 that represents the decimal point in the product. To do this, we count the total number of decimal places in the two original numbers (three in 3.72 and two in 0.025), which gives us five decimal places. Therefore, our answer needs to be in scientific notation with a power of 10 that is negative five. Finally, we can insert the decimal point into the product and express the answer in scientific notation as follows: 3.72 x 0.025 = 0.093 = 9.3 x 10^(-2) Therefore, the answer is \(9.3\times 10^{-2}\).
