To solve this problem, we need to integrate both sides of the equation with respect to x. dy/dx = 2x - 3 Integrating both sides with respect to x gives: y = x^2 - 3x + c where c is the constant of integration. To find the value of c, we use the fact that y = 3 when x = 0: 3 = 0^2 - 3(0) + c c = 3 Therefore, the equation of y in terms of x is: y = x^2 - 3x + 3

To find the x-intercept of the line 2y = 4x - 8, we set y = 0 and solve for x. So, we have: 2(0) = 4x - 8 4x = 8 x = 2 This means the x-intercept is (2, 0). To find the y-intercept of the line, we set x = 0 and solve for y. So, we have: 2y = 4(0) - 8 2y = -8 y = -4 This means the y-intercept is (0, -4). The midpoint of two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is: ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2) Using this formula, we can find the midpoint of the x and y intercepts: ((2 + 0)/2, (0 + (-4))/2) = (1, -2) Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of the x and y intercepts of the line 2y = 4x - 8 is (1, -2). Answer option number 2.

Let's start by using a bit of math to understand the problem. We know that the trader bought each goat for N4000, and sold them for N180,000. We also know that he sold them at a loss of 25%. If the trader sold the goats at a loss of 25%, it means that he sold them for only 75% of their original value. We can calculate the original value of the goats by dividing the selling price by 75% or multiplying it by 4/3. So, the original value of the goats = 180,000 * (4/3) = 240,000. Since the trader bought each goat for N4000, we can find out how many goats he bought by dividing the total value of the goats (N240,000) by the price he paid for each goat (N4000). Number of goats = 240,000 / 4000 = 60. Therefore, the trader bought 60 goats. To summarize, the trader bought 60 goats and sold them for N180,000 at a loss of 25%. We found the answer by calculating the original value of the goats and dividing it by the price the trader paid for each goat.

The mean of a set of six numbers is 60. Therefore, the sum of the six numbers is 6 x 60 = 360. The mean of the first five is 50. Therefore, the sum of the first five numbers is 5 x 50 = 250. To find the sixth number, we can subtract the sum of the first five numbers from the sum of all six numbers: 6th number = sum of all six numbers - sum of the first five numbers 6th number = 360 - 250 6th number = 110 Therefore, the sixth number in the set is 110.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula (n-2) x 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides of the polygon. In this problem, the sum of the interior angles is given as 20 right angles. One right angle is equal to 90 degrees, so 20 right angles would be 20 x 90 = 1800 degrees. Therefore, we can set up the equation (n-2) x 180 = 1800 and solve for n: (n-2) x 180 = 1800 n-2 = 10 n = 12 So the polygon has 12 sides. To summarize, the sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be calculated using (n-2) x 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. Using this formula, we can solve for n when the sum of the interior angles is given. In this case, the polygon has 12 sides.

To calculate the volume of the bucket, we need to use the formula for the volume of a frustum of a cone which is given by: V = (1/3) × π × h × (r₁² + r₂² + r₁ × r₂) where h is the height of the frustum, r₁ and r₂ are the radii of the top and bottom faces, respectively. In this case, the height of the frustum is 4 cm, the top radius is 6 cm (half of the diameter), and the bottom radius is 4 cm. Substituting these values into the formula, we get: V = (1/3) × π × 4 × (6² + 4² + 6 × 4) V = (1/3) × π × 4 × (36 + 16 + 24) V = (1/3) × π × 4 × 76 V = 304π/3 cubic centimeters Therefore, the volume of the bucket is 304π/3 cubic centimeters.

The probability of passing any one of the three examinations is 2/3. Therefore, the probability of not passing any one of the exams is 1 - 2/3 = 1/3. Since the student takes three examinations, the probability of not passing any of them is the probability of not passing the first exam multiplied by the probability of not passing the second exam multiplied by the probability of not passing the third exam. So, the probability of not passing any of the three exams is (1/3) x (1/3) x (1/3) = 1/27. Therefore, the answer is option (D), which is 1/27.

To find the volume of the solid, we need to find the volumes of the cylinder and the hemisphere bowl separately, and then add them together. The volume of the cylinder is given by the formula V_cylinder = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder. Looking at the diagram, we can see that the height of the cylinder is 12 cm and the radius of the base is also 12 cm (since the diameter of the cylinder is 24 cm). Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is: V_cylinder = π(12)^2(12) = 5,408π cm^3 The volume of the hemisphere bowl is given by the formula V_hemisphere = (2/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the hemisphere. Again looking at the diagram, we can see that the radius of the hemisphere is also 12 cm (since it is the same as the radius of the base of the cylinder). Therefore, the volume of the hemisphere bowl is: V_hemisphere = (2/3)π(12)^3 = 9,216π/3 = 3,072π cm^3 To find the volume of the solid, we add the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the hemisphere bowl together: V_solid = V_cylinder + V_hemisphere = 5,408π + 3,072π = 8,480π cm^3 Therefore, the volume of the solid is 8,480π cm^3. : 198πcm^3 is not correct.

Let the fifth term of the AP be 'a + 4d'. Then, the ninth term will be 'a + 8d'. The problem states that the ninth term is five times the fifth term, which can be represented mathematically as: a + 8d = 5(a + 4d) Simplifying the equation gives: a + 8d = 5a + 20d Subtracting 'a' and 20d from both sides gives: -12d = -4a Dividing both sides by -4 gives: 3d = a So the relationship between 'a' and 'd' is a = 3d. Thus, the answer is a + 3d = 0.

To find the set of points which are equidistant from the parallel lines x=1 and x=7, we can begin by finding the midpoint of the segment connecting the two parallel lines. The midpoint of the segment joining the two parallel lines is ((1+7)/2, 0) = (4,0). Now, let (x,y) be any point that is equidistant from the two parallel lines. Then, the distance from (x,y) to the line x=1 is |x-1|, and the distance from (x,y) to the line x=7 is |x-7|. Since the point (x,y) is equidistant from the two lines, we have: |x-1| = |x-7| Solving for x, we get: x-1 = -(x-7) or x-1 = x-7 Solving each equation for x, we get: x = 4 or x = -6 Since the distance from (x,y) to x=1 is the same as the distance from (x,y) to x=7, it follows that the set of points that are equidistant from the two parallel lines is the vertical line passing through the midpoint of the segment joining the two parallel lines, namely, the line x=4. Therefore, the equation of the set of points which are equidistant from the parallel lines x=1 and x=7 is x = 4. Thus, the correct option is x = 4.

The time taken to do a piece of work is inversely proportional to the number of men employed, which means that the more men there are, the less time it will take to complete the work. In this case, we are told that 45 men can do the work in 5 days. If we let x be the number of days it takes for 25 men to do the work, then we can set up a proportion: 45 men x 5 days = 25 men x (number of days) Solving for x, we get: x = (45 x 5) / 25 = 9 days Therefore, it would take 25 men 9 days to do the same amount of work that 45 men can do in 5 days. The answer is 9 days.

To solve this equation, we need to use algebraic methods to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. First, we can combine like terms on the left-hand side of the equation: x^3 - 5x^2 - x + 5 = 0 Next, we can try to factor the equation, looking for factors that will make the equation equal to zero. By trial and error, we can see that (x-1) is a factor of the equation: (x-1)(x^2 - 4x - 5) = 0 Now we can use the zero product property, which tells us that if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. So we can set each factor equal to zero and solve for x: x-1 = 0 or x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0 Solving for x-1, we get x = 1. Solving for x in the quadratic equation, we can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a In this case, a = 1, b = -4, and c = -5. Plugging these values into the quadratic formula, we get: x = (-(-4) ± sqrt((-4)^2 - 4(1)(-5))) / 2(1) Simplifying, we get: x = (4 ± sqrt(36)) / 2 x = (4 ± 6) / 2 x = 5 or x = -1 Therefore, the solutions for x are 1, 5, and -1.

To find the angle sector for cassava in a pie chart, we need to calculate what percentage of the total area is occupied by cassava. First, we need to find the total area of the pie chart, which represents the total acres of all the crops in the district. The total acres can be found by adding up the acres for each crop: 2 + 5 + 3 + 11 + 9 = 30 So the total area of the pie chart is 30 acres. Next, we need to find what percentage of the total area is occupied by cassava. We can do this by dividing the acres of cassava by the total acres and then multiplying by 100: (3 / 30) x 100 = 10% Therefore, the angle sector for cassava in the pie chart is 10% of the total area of the pie chart. To find the angle in degrees, we need to multiply the percentage by 360 (the total number of degrees in a circle): 10% x 360 = 36° So the angle sector for cassava in the pie chart is 36°.

To find the mean deviation of a set of numbers, we first need to find the mean (average) of the set. Mean = (7+3+14+9+7+8) / 6 = 48/6 = 8 Next, we need to find the deviation of each number from the mean. To do this, we subtract the mean from each number: (7-8), (3-8), (14-8), (9-8), (7-8), (8-8) -1, -5, 6, 1, -1, 0 Notice that some of the deviations are negative and some are positive. To avoid canceling out the deviations that are opposite in sign, we take the absolute value of each deviation: 1, 5, 6, 1, 1, 0 Finally, we find the mean of these absolute deviations: Mean Deviation = (1+5+6+1+1+0) / 6 = 14/6 = 7/3 Therefore, the mean deviation of the given set of numbers is 7/3.
