The functions f:x → 2x2 + 3x -7 and g:x →5x2 + 7x - 6 are defined on the set of real numbers, R. Find the values of x for which 3f(x) = g(x).
Antwortdetails
To find the values of x for which 3f(x) = g(x), we need to substitute the given functions f(x) and g(x) and then solve for x. Substituting the function f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 7, we get: 3f(x) = 3(2x^2 + 3x - 7) = 6x^2 + 9x - 21 Substituting the function g(x) = 5x^2 + 7x - 6, we get: g(x) = 5x^2 + 7x - 6 Now we can set these two equations equal to each other and solve for x: 6x^2 + 9x - 21 = 5x^2 + 7x - 6 Subtracting 5x^2 and 7x from both sides, we get: x^2 + 2x - 15 = 0 Factoring this quadratic equation, we get: (x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 Therefore, the values of x that satisfy the equation 3f(x) = g(x) are x = -5 and x = 3. Hence, the answer is: x = -5 or 3.

Frage 7 Bericht
Given that P = (-4, -5) and Q = (2,3), express →PQ in the form (k,θ). where k is the magnitude and θ the bearing.
Antwortdetails
To find →PQ, we need to subtract the coordinates of point P from those of point Q, giving us: →PQ = Q - P = (2-(-4), 3-(-5)) = (6, 8) The magnitude, or length, of →PQ is found using the distance formula: k = √(6² + 8²) = √100 = 10 To find the bearing θ, we use trigonometry. The tangent of θ is the ratio of the opposite side (the change in y-coordinates) to the adjacent side (the change in x-coordinates): tan θ = 8/6 = 4/3 Using a calculator, we can find that θ is approximately 53.13º. However, we need to adjust this value depending on which quadrant →PQ lies in. Since both x and y are positive, →PQ lies in the first quadrant, so we don't need to make any adjustments. Therefore: θ = 53.13º So the vector →PQ can be expressed in the form (k,θ) as: (10 units, 53.13º) Therefore, the correct answer is (a) (10 units, 053º).
Frage 8 Bericht
The table shows the distribution of the distance (in km) covered by 40 hunters while hunting.
What is the mode of the distribution?
| Distance(km) | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| Frequency | 5 | 4 | x | 9 | 2x | 1 |
Antwortdetails
To find the mode of the distribution, we need to identify the value with the highest frequency. In the table, the frequency is given for each distance (in km) covered by the hunters. Let's first find the frequency of distance 5 km covered by the hunters. From the table, we know that the sum of all frequencies should be equal to 40, the total number of hunters. Sum of frequencies = 5 + 4 + x + 9 + 2x + 1 = 40 Simplifying the equation, we get: 3x + 19 = 40 3x = 21 x = 7 Now we know that the frequency of distance 5 km is x = 7. The frequencies for the other distances are: - Frequency of distance 3 km = 5 - Frequency of distance 4 km = 4 - Frequency of distance 6 km = 9 - Frequency of distance 7 km = 2x = 14 - Frequency of distance 8 km = 1 The highest frequency is 14, which corresponds to the distance of 7 km. Therefore, the mode of the distribution is 7 km. Hence, the answer is option (C) 7.
Frage 9 Bericht
A particle is acted upon by forces F = (10N, 060º), P = (15N, 120º) and Q = (12N, 200º). Express the force that will keep the particle in equilibrium in the form xi + yj, where x and y are scalars.
Antwortdetails
Converting the forces to their rectangular forms
F = (10N, 060º)
Fx = 10cos60 = 5i
fy = 10sin60 = 8.66j
F = 5i + 8.66j
P = (15N, 120º)
Px = 15cos120 = -7.5i
py = 15sin120 = 12.99j
P = -7.5i + 12.99j
Q = (12N, 200º)
Qx = 12cos200 = -11.28i
Qy = 12sin200 = -4.1j
Q = -11.28i -4.1j
The resultant force = F + P + Q
R = 5i + 8.66j + (-7.5i + 12.99j) + (-11.28i -4.1j)
R = -13.78i + 17.55j

The length of the line joining points (x,4) and (-x,3) is 7 units. Find the value of x.
Antwortdetails
The problem provides us with two points, (x, 4) and (-x, 3), and tells us that the distance between them is 7 units. We need to find the value of x that satisfies this condition. To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula: d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points, and d is the distance between them. Using this formula, we can calculate the distance between the given points: d = sqrt((-x - x)^2 + (3 - 4)^2) d = sqrt(4x^2 + 1) We are given that this distance is equal to 7 units: sqrt(4x^2 + 1) = 7 To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, we will square both sides of the equation: 4x^2 + 1 = 49 Now we can solve for x: 4x^2 = 48 x^2 = 12 x = sqrt(12) = 2sqrt(3) Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the given conditions is 2sqrt(3), which is option D.

The mean heights of three groups of students consisting of 20, 16 and 14 students each are 1.67m, 1.50m and 1.40m respectively. Find the mean height of all the students.
Antwortdetails
To find the mean height of all the students, you need to add up the heights of all the students and divide by the total number of students. First, you need to find the total number of students, which is the sum of 20, 16 and 14 students, which is 50 students in total. Then, you need to find the total height of all the students by multiplying the number of students in each group by their respective mean height and adding them all up. Total height of all students = (20 x 1.67) + (16 x 1.50) + (14 x 1.40) = 33.4 + 24 + 19.6 = 77 meters Finally, to find the mean height of all the students, you need to divide the total height of all the students by the total number of students: Mean height of all students = Total height of all students / Total number of students = 77 / 50 = 1.54 meters Therefore, the answer is 1.54m.

Frage 42 Bericht
Which of the following is the semi-interquartile range of a distribution?
Antwortdetails
The semi-interquartile range is a measure of variability in a dataset. To calculate it, we first need to find the median of the dataset, which is the middle value when the data is arranged in order from lowest to highest. Then, we need to find the quartiles, which are the values that divide the dataset into four equal parts. The semi-interquartile range is half of the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile. The upper quartile is the value that separates the highest 25% of the data from the lowest 75%, while the lower quartile is the value that separates the lowest 25% of the data from the highest 75%. Looking at the given options, the formula that corresponds to the semi-interquartile range is: 1/2 (Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile) Therefore, the correct answer is option d) "1/2 (Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile)".

The probability that a student will graduate from college is 0.4. If 3 students are selected from the college, what is the probability that at least one student will graduate?
Antwortdetails
To find the probability that at least one student will graduate, we can calculate the probability that no student will graduate and then subtract that from 1. The probability that a student will not graduate from college is 1 - 0.4 = 0.6. So, the probability that none of the three selected students will graduate is: 0.6 * 0.6 * 0.6 = 0.216 Therefore, the probability that at least one student will graduate is: 1 - 0.216 = 0.784 So, the answer is 0.78. In summary, the probability that at least one student will graduate from college given that 3 students are selected is 0.784 or 0.78, which is obtained by subtracting the probability that none of the three students will graduate from 1.

A body of mass of 18kg is suspended by an inextensible string from a rigid support and is pulled by a horizontal force F until the angle of inclination of the string to the vertical is 35º. If the system is in equilibrium, calculate the:
i. value of F
ii. tension in the string
If the system is in equilibrium, then the weight of the body = the force pulling it
and the force = the vertical component of force F
since Force F is inclined to vertical then the vertical component = Fcos35º
the weight of the body = mg
Fcos35º = 18(10)
0.8192F = 180
F = 1800.8192
F = 219.7N
tension in the string
T = mg
T = 18kg × 10
T = 180N

The vectors 6i + 8j and 8i - 6j are parallel to ?OP and ?OQ respectively. If the magnitude of ?OP and ?OQ are 80 units and 120 units respectively, express: ?OP and ?OQ in terms of i and j;
ii. |?PQ|, in the form c?k, where c and k are constants.
The question is asking to express vectors →OP and →OQ in terms of i and j, where 6i + 8j is parallel to →OP and 8i - 6j is parallel to →OQ. We are also given the magnitudes of →OP and →OQ, which are 80 units and 120 units respectively.
To express →OP and →OQ in terms of i and j, we can simply multiply the scalar component of each vector by its respective unit vector. Thus, →OP = 80/10 (6i + 8j) = 48i + 64j, and →OQ = 120/10 (8i - 6j) = 96i - 72j.
To find the magnitude of →PQ, we can use the formula |→PQ| = |→OQ - →OP|. Substituting the values we obtained earlier, we get |→PQ| = |(96i - 72j) - (48i + 64j)| = |48i - 136j|. To simplify this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for a right triangle with sides a and b and hypotenuse c, a² + b² = c². Thus, |→PQ| = √(48² + (-136)²) = √20800 = 40√13. Therefore, the magnitude of →PQ is 80√29 units, which is in the form c√k where c = 40 and k = 13.

a. plot a scatter diagram to represent the data
b i. Calculate:x?, the mean of X and ?, the mean of Y;
ii. Caculate:
x?1, the mean of X values below x? and ?1, the mean of the corresponding Y values below x?
c. Draw the line of best fit through (x?,?) and (x?1,?1).
d. From the graph, determine the relationship between X and Y;
ii. From the graph, determine the value of Y when X is 20.
a. To plot a scatter diagram, we need to plot the given X and Y values as individual points on a graph, where X values are taken as horizontal axis and Y values are taken as vertical axis. The scatter diagram shows the relationship between two variables.
b i. To calculate x?, the mean of X, we add up all the X values and divide by the number of values, i.e., x? = (14+16+17+18+22+24+27+28+31+33) / 10 = 23.
Similarly, to calculate ?, the mean of Y, we add up all the Y values and divide by the number of values, i.e., ? = (22+19+15+13+10+12+3+5+3+2) / 10 = 11.
b ii. To calculate x?1, we need to find the X values that are below x? and then calculate their mean. From the X values given, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 22 are below x? = 23. So, x?1 = (14+16+17+18+22) / 5 = 17.4.
Similarly, we need to find the corresponding Y values that are below x? and then calculate their mean. From the Y values given, corresponding Y values for the X values 14, 16, 17, 18, and 22 are 22, 19, 15, 13, and 10 respectively. So, ?1 = (22+19+15+13+10) / 5 = 15.8.
c. To draw the line of best fit, we need to plot the points (x?, ?) and (x?1, ?1) on the scatter diagram and then draw a straight line passing through these two points. The line should be such that it has an equal number of points above and below it.
d i. From the scatter diagram, we can see that there is a negative relationship between X and Y. As X increases, Y decreases.
d ii. To determine the value of Y when X is 20, we can draw a vertical line from the point X = 20 on the X-axis to the line of best fit. From the point where the line intersects the Y-axis, we can read off the value of Y, which is approximately 12.

b ii. To calculate x?1, we need to find the X values that are below x? and then calculate their mean. From the X values given, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 22 are below x? = 23. So, x?1 = (14+16+17+18+22) / 5 = 17.4.
Similarly, we need to find the corresponding Y values that are below x? and then calculate their mean. From the Y values given, corresponding Y values for the X values 14, 16, 17, 18, and 22 are 22, 19, 15, 13, and 10 respectively. So, ?1 = (22+19+15+13+10) / 5 = 15.8.
c. To draw the line of best fit, we need to plot the points (x?, ?) and (x?1, ?1) on the scatter diagram and then draw a straight line passing through these two points. The line should be such that it has an equal number of points above and below it.
d i. From the scatter diagram, we can see that there is a negative relationship between X and Y. As X increases, Y decreases.
d ii. To determine the value of Y when X is 20, we can draw a vertical line from the point X = 20 on the X-axis to the line of best fit. From the point where the line intersects the Y-axis, we can read off the value of Y, which is approximately 12.

Given that nC4 , nC5 and nC6 are the terms of a linear sequence (A.P), find the :
i. value of n
ii. common differences of the sequence.
nC4 = n![n−4]!4! n[n−1][n−2][n−3][n−4]![n−4]!4!
nC5 = n![n−5]!5! n[n−1][n−2][n−3][n−4][n−5]![n−5]!5!]
and nC6 = n![n−6]!6! → n[n−1][n−2][n−3][n−4][n−5][n−6]![n−6]!6!]
d = U2 - U1 = U3 - U2

Frage 59 Bericht
A solid rectangular block has a base that measures 3x cm by 2x cm. The height of the block is ycm and its volume is 72cm3 .
i. Express y in terms of x.
ii. An expression for the total surface area of the block in terms of x only;
iii. the value of x for which the total surface area has a stationary value.
The volume of a solid rectangular block is given by the formula V = lwh, where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the block, respectively. In this problem, we are given that the base of the block has dimensions 3x cm by 2x cm, so we have l = 3x cm and w = 2x cm. The height of the block is y cm, so h = y cm. We are also given that the volume of the block is 72 cm3, so we have:
V = lwh
72 = (3x)(2x)(y)
72 = 6x^2y
Solving for y, we get:
y = 72/6x^2
y = 12/x^2
Therefore, the height of the block is 12/x^2 cm.
b.
To find the total surface area of the solid rectangular block, we need to consider the six faces of the block: the top face, bottom face, front face, back face, left face, and right face.
Given:
Base length = 3x cm
Base width = 2x cm
Height = y cm
Volume = 72 cm^3
The volume of a rectangular block is given by the formula:
Volume = Base Area * Height
Therefore, we can write the equation:
72 cm^3 = (3x cm * 2x cm) * y cm
Simplifying this equation, we have:
72 = 6x^2 * y
Now, let's express the total surface area of the block in terms of x only.
The total surface area of the block can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces:
Total Surface Area = 2 * (Base Area) + (Front Face Area) + (Back Face Area) + (Left Face Area) + (Right Face Area)
The base area is given by:
Base Area = Length * Width = (3x cm) * (2x cm) = 6x^2 cm^2
The front face and back face both have the same dimensions, so their areas are equal:
Front Face Area = Back Face Area = Length * Height = (3x cm) * (y cm) = 3xy cm^2
Similarly, the left face and right face both have the same dimensions, so their areas are equal:
Left Face Area = Right Face Area = Width * Height = (2x cm) * (y cm) = 2xy cm^2
Now, let's substitute these values into the equation for the total surface area:
Total Surface Area = 2 * (6x^2 cm^2) + 2 * (3xy cm^2) + 2 * (2xy cm^2)
Simplifying further, we have:
Total Surface Area = 12x^2 cm^2 + 6xy cm^2 + 4xy cm^2
Finally, we can express the total surface area of the block in terms of x only as:
Total Surface Area = 12x^2 cm^2 + 10xy cm^2

The volume of a solid rectangular block is given by the formula V = lwh, where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the block, respectively. In this problem, we are given that the base of the block has dimensions 3x cm by 2x cm, so we have l = 3x cm and w = 2x cm. The height of the block is y cm, so h = y cm. We are also given that the volume of the block is 72 cm3, so we have:
V = lwh
72 = (3x)(2x)(y)
72 = 6x^2y
Solving for y, we get:
y = 72/6x^2
y = 12/x^2
Therefore, the height of the block is 12/x^2 cm.
b.
To find the total surface area of the solid rectangular block, we need to consider the six faces of the block: the top face, bottom face, front face, back face, left face, and right face.
Given:
Base length = 3x cm
Base width = 2x cm
Height = y cm
Volume = 72 cm^3
The volume of a rectangular block is given by the formula:
Volume = Base Area * Height
Therefore, we can write the equation:
72 cm^3 = (3x cm * 2x cm) * y cm
Simplifying this equation, we have:
72 = 6x^2 * y
Now, let's express the total surface area of the block in terms of x only.
The total surface area of the block can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces:
Total Surface Area = 2 * (Base Area) + (Front Face Area) + (Back Face Area) + (Left Face Area) + (Right Face Area)
The base area is given by:
Base Area = Length * Width = (3x cm) * (2x cm) = 6x^2 cm^2
The front face and back face both have the same dimensions, so their areas are equal:
Front Face Area = Back Face Area = Length * Height = (3x cm) * (y cm) = 3xy cm^2
Similarly, the left face and right face both have the same dimensions, so their areas are equal:
Left Face Area = Right Face Area = Width * Height = (2x cm) * (y cm) = 2xy cm^2
Now, let's substitute these values into the equation for the total surface area:
Total Surface Area = 2 * (6x^2 cm^2) + 2 * (3xy cm^2) + 2 * (2xy cm^2)
Simplifying further, we have:
Total Surface Area = 12x^2 cm^2 + 6xy cm^2 + 4xy cm^2
Finally, we can express the total surface area of the block in terms of x only as:
Total Surface Area = 12x^2 cm^2 + 10xy cm^2
