If $0.0000152 \times 0.042 = A \times 10^8$, where $1 \le A < 10$, find A and B

A = 9, B = 6.38

A = 6.38, B = -9

A = -6.38, B = -9

A = -9, B = -6.38

Answer Details

0.0000152 x 0.042 = A x 108

1 $\leq$ A < 10, it means values of A includes 1 - 9

0.0000152 = 1.52 x 10-5

0.00042 = 4.2 x 10-4

1.52 x 4.2 = 6.384

10-5 x 10-4

= 10-5-4

= 10-9

= 6.38 x 10-9

Question 11 Report

y varies partly as the square of x and partly as the inverse of the square root of x. Write down the expression for y if y = 2 when x = 1 and y = 6 when x = 4.

y = $\frac{10 x^{2}}{31} + \frac{52}{31 \sqrt{x}}$

y = x2 + $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$

y = x2 + $\frac{1}{x}$

y = $\frac{x^{2}}{31} + \frac{1}{31 \sqrt{x}}$

Answer Details

y = kx2 + $\frac{c}{\sqrt{x}}$
y = 2 when x = 1
2 = k + $\frac{c}{1}$
k + c = 2
y = 6 when x = 4
6 = 16k + $\frac{c}{2}$
12 = 32k + c
k + c = 2
32k + c = 12
= 31k + 10
k = $\frac{10}{31}$
c = 2 - $\frac{10}{31}$
= $\frac{62 - 10}{31}$
= $\frac{52}{31}$
y = $\frac{10 x^{2}}{31} + \frac{52}{31 \sqrt{x}}$

P = 30o and R = 120o

P = 90o and R = 60o

P = 60o and R 60o

P = 45o and R = 105o

Answer Details

By using cosine formula, p2 = Q2 + R2 - 2QR cos p
Cos P = $\frac{Q^{2} + R^{2} - p^{2}}{2 Q R}$
= $\frac{(3)^{2} + 2 (\sqrt{3})^{2} - 3^{2}}{2 \sqrt{3}}$

Cos P = 0.5
p = cos-1 0.5 = 60 $^{\circ}$
= < P = 60 $^{\circ}$
If < P = 60 $^{\circ}$ and < Q = 30

< R = 180 $^{\circ}$ - 90 $^{\circ}$

Answer Details

Given Cos z = L, z is an acute angle
$\frac{cot z - cosec z}{sec z + tan z}$ = cos z
= $\frac{cos z}{sin z}$
cosec z = $\frac{1}{sin z}$
cot z - cosec z = $\frac{cos z}{sin z}$ - $\frac{1}{sin z}$
cot z - cosec z = $\frac{L - 1}{sin z}$
sec z = $\frac{1}{cos z}$
tan z = $\frac{sin z}{cos z}$
sec z = $\frac{1}{cos z}$ + $\frac{sin z}{cos z}$
= $\frac{1}{l}$ + $\frac{sin z}{L}$
the original eqn. becomes
$\frac{cot z - cosec z}{sec z + tan z}$ = $\frac{L - \frac{1}{sin z}}{1 + s i n \frac{z}{L}}$
= $\frac{L (L - 1)}{sin z (1 + sin z)}$
= $\frac{L (L - 1)}{sin z + 1 - c o s^{2} z}$
= sin z + 1
= 1 + $\sqrt{1 - L^{2}}$
= $\frac{L (L - 1)}{1 - L + 1 \sqrt{1 - L^{2}}}$

60o

30o

120o

45o

135o

Answer Details

Sum of interior angles of polygon = (2n - 4)rt < s

sum of interior angles of an hexagon
(2 x 6 - 4) x 90o = (12 - 4) x 90o
= 8 x 90o
= 720o
each interior angle will have $\frac{720^{o}}{6}$
= 120o

25.50

25.75

Answer Details

$\frac{24.57 + 25.63 + 24.32 + 26.01 + 25.77}{5}$
mean = $\frac{126.3}{5}$
= 25.26

In the figure, PQR is a straight line. Find the values of x and y.

^{\circ}

x = 15

^{\circ}

, y = 52.5

^{\circ}

x = 22.5

^{\circ}

, y = 45.0

^{\circ}

x = 56.25

^{\circ}

, y = 11.5

^{\circ}

Answer Details

$\frac{2}{3}$ + 3y + 45 $^{\circ}$ = 180 $^{\circ}$

3x + 6y + 90 $^{\circ}$ = 360 $^{\circ}$

3x + 67 = 270.......(i) x 2, 5x + y + y = 180 $^{\circ}$

5x + 2y = 180 $^{\circ}$ .......(ii) x 6

6 x 12y = 540..........(iii)

30x + 12y = 1080.........(iv)

egn(iv) - eqn(iii)

24x = 540

x = 22.5 and y = 33.75 $^{\circ}$

Question 47 Report

Which of the following equations represents the graph above?

y = 2 + 7x + 4x2

y = 2 - 7x + 4x2

y = 2 + 7x - 4x2

y = 2 - 7x - 4x2

Answer Details

x = -2 or x = $\frac{1}{4}$

(x + 2)(4x - 1) = 0

y = 2 - 7x - 4x2
