To find the probability that a fruit chosen at random is either a grape or a banana, we need to first determine the total number of fruits in the basket, which is the sum of grapes and bananas, since we are only interested in these two types of fruits. Total number of grapes and bananas = 6 + 11 = 17 Therefore, the probability of choosing either a grape or a banana is: P(grape or banana) = (number of grapes + number of bananas) / total number of fruits = 17 / (6 + 11 + 13) = 17 / 30 Hence, the probability that the fruit chosen is either a grape or a banana is 17/30. Therefore, the answer is not any of the options provided.

f(x) = 2x3 - x2 - 4x – 4
f’(x) = 6x2 - 2x – 4

We know that log base 10 of 2 is x, which means that 10 to the power of x is equal to 2. To express log base 10 of 12.5 in terms of x, we need to find a way to write 12.5 in terms of 2 and x. We can write 12.5 as 10 to the power of 1.09691 (approximately) using a calculator. Now, we can use the laws of logarithms to simplify the expression: log base 10 of 12.5 = log base 10 of (10^1.09691) = 1.09691 * log base 10 of 10 = 1.09691 Therefore, we want to find an expression among the given options that equals 1.09691 when x is substituted into it. We can check each option by substituting x into it and simplifying: : 2(1 + x) = 2 + 2x Substituting x = log base 10 of 2 gives 2 + 2(log base 10 of 2), which does not equal 1.09691. : 2 + 3x Substituting x = log base 10 of 2 gives 2 + 3(log base 10 of 2), which also does not equal 1.09691. : 2(1 - x) = 2 - 2x Substituting x = log base 10 of 2 gives 2 - 2(log base 10 of 2), which also does not equal 1.09691. : 2 - 3x Substituting x = log base 10 of 2 gives 2 - 3(log base 10 of 2), which equals 1.09691. Therefore, the correct answer is: 2 - 3x.

In the given sequence, each term is obtained by adding 1 to twice the previous term, starting from 32/3, which is the same as (96/3) + (32/3) = 128/3. So, the second term of the sequence is 2(128/3) + 1 = 257/3. Similarly, the third term is 2(257/3) + 1 = 515/3. Continuing this pattern, we can find the nth term by performing the following operation: Tn = 2(Tn-1) + 1 Therefore, the nth term of the sequence is 2^n * (128/3) - (2^n + 1)/3. Thus, the correct option is 5.2n - 2 - n.

Let the age of Musa be x, and the age of Lawal be y. According to the first statement, we know that: x + y = 28 ---- (Equation 1) Let the common ratio be k, so the ratio of Musa to Lawal's share is x:y. Therefore, we can write: x:y = k:k = 1:1 (since the ratio is not given) So, the total amount of money shared can be represented as: x + y = 2k ---- (Equation 2) From the second statement, we know that: x/y = 6/8 = 3/4 Multiplying both sides by 4y, we get: 4x = 3y Now we have two equations with two variables (Equations 1 and 2), which can be solved to find the values of x and y: x + y = 28 ---- (Equation 1) 2x = 3y ---- (Equation 3) Solving the equations 1 and 3 simultaneously, we get: x = 12 y = 16 Therefore, Lawal's age is 16 years.

The given sets P and Q are two different sets containing some numbers. To determine the relationship between the sets, we need to compare the elements of the sets. By comparing the elements of P and Q, we can see that they have only one element in common, which is 1. The other elements in the sets are unique and do not appear in both sets. Therefore, we can say that P and Q have some elements that are different and some that are the same. Hence, the correct answer is P ∩ Q ≠ ∅.

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal. Slope is defined as the ratio of the change in the y-coordinates to the change in the x-coordinates between two points on the line. The given lines are 3y = 4x - 1 and qy = x + 3. To find the slope of the first line, we can rearrange the equation in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. 3y = 4x - 1 y = (4/3)x - 1/3 So the slope of the first line is 4/3. To find the slope of the second line, we can rearrange the equation in the same way: qy = x + 3 y = (1/q)x + 3/q So the slope of the second line is 1/q. If the two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal. Therefore: 4/3 = 1/q We can solve for q by cross-multiplying: 4q = 3 q = 3/4 Therefore, the value of q is 3/4.

To find the length of the diagonal of a square, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides (legs) is equal to the square of the longest side (hypotenuse). In this case, the two legs of the right triangle are the sides of the square, and the hypotenuse is the length of the diagonal. Let's call the length of one side of the square "x". Then, we know that the area of the square is given by: x^2 = 144 sqcm Taking the square root of both sides, we get: x = 12 cm Now, using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the diagonal: d^2 = x^2 + x^2 = 2x^2 d = sqrt(2x^2) = x * sqrt(2) = 12 * sqrt(2) cm Therefore, the length of the diagonal is 12√2 cm.

To integrate x² - √x/x with respect to x, we can start by factoring the expression as follows: x² - √x/x = x - 1/√x Then we can integrate each term separately: ∫(x - 1/√x) dx = ∫x dx - ∫(1/√x) dx The first integral is straightforward: ∫x dx = 1/2 x² + C1 For the second integral, we can use the substitution u = √x, du/dx = 1/(2√x), dx = 2√x du: ∫(1/√x) dx = ∫2 du = 2u + C2 = 2√x + C2 Substituting back u = √x, we get: ∫(1/√x) dx = 2√x + C2 Putting everything together, we have: ∫(x² - √x/x) dx = ∫x dx - ∫(1/√x) dx = (1/2 x² + C1) - (2√x + C2) = 1/2 x² - 2√x + C where C = C1 - C2 is the constant of integration. Therefore, the correct option is x²/2 - 2√x + K, where K = C is the constant of integration.

To factorize 2t² + t - 15, we need to find two binomials that multiply to give us 2t² + t - 15. To do this, we can use the factoring method called "AC method." First, we need to find two numbers whose product is 2(-15) = -30 and whose sum is 1. These numbers are 6 and -5. Next, we replace the middle term t with 6t - 5t: 2t² + 6t - 5t - 15 Then we group the terms: (2t² + 6t) - (5t + 15) We factor out the greatest common factor from each group: 2t(t + 3) - 5(t + 3) We notice that we have a common binomial factor of (t + 3), so we can factor it out: (t + 3)(2t - 5) Therefore, the factored form of 2t² + t - 15 is (t + 3)(2t - 5). So, the correct option is: (t + 3)(2t - 5).

To find the sum to infinity of this series, we need to determine if it is a converging or diverging series. We can do this by finding the common ratio between each term. The common ratio between the second and first term is 2/3. The common ratio between the third and second term is 4/3. The common ratio between the fourth and third term is 8/9, and so on. We can see that the common ratio is less than 1, so the series is converging. Therefore, we can use the formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series: S = a/(1 - r) where S is the sum, a is the first term, and r is the common ratio. In this case, the first term is 3 and the common ratio is 2/3. So, plugging these values into the formula, we get: S = 3/(1 - 2/3) = 3/(1/3) = 9 Therefore, the sum to infinity of this series is 9. So, the answer to the question is option (D) 9.

The nth term of the sequence is 5 . 2n-2 - n. To understand why, we can look at how the sequence is generated. The first term is 3/2, the second term is 3, and each subsequent term is generated by doubling the previous term and subtracting its position in the sequence. For example, to get the third term, we double the second term (which is 3) to get 6, and then subtract the position of the term (which is 3) to get 3+3=6. Similarly, to get the fourth term, we double the third term (which is 6) to get 12, and then subtract the position of the term (which is 4) to get 12-4=8. Using this pattern, we can derive the general formula for the nth term: 5 . 2n-2 - n.

To find dy/dx for y = (1 + x)^2, we can use the chain rule of differentiation. The chain rule states that if y = f(g(x)), then dy/dx = f'(g(x)) * g'(x), where f'(g(x)) is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at g(x), and g'(x) is the derivative of the inner function evaluated at x. In this case, we can let f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = 1 + x, so that y = f(g(x)) = (1 + x)^2. Then, we can find the derivatives of f(x) and g(x) as follows: f'(x) = 2x g'(x) = 1 Using the chain rule, we can now find dy/dx: dy/dx = f'(g(x)) * g'(x) = 2(1 + x) * 1 = 2 + 2x Therefore, dy/dx = 2 + 2x.

To find the modal and medial numbers from the given frequency distribution, we need to first determine the mode and median of the dataset. The mode is the number that occurs most frequently, and the median is the middle number when the data is arranged in order. In this case, the mode is 6, which occurs with a frequency of 4. The median can be found by arranging the numbers in order: 2, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, 8 The median is the middle number, which is also 6. Therefore, the modal number is 6, and the medial number is also 6. The product of the modal and medial numbers is: 6 × 6 = 36 Therefore, the answer is 36.

To find dy/dx of y = x cos x, we can use the product rule of differentiation, which states that the derivative of a product of two functions is equal to the first function times the derivative of the second function plus the second function times the derivative of the first function. In this case, we have: y = x cos x Using the product rule, we get: dy/dx = cos x - x sin x Therefore, the correct option is: cos x - x sin x. To explain it in simple terms, the derivative of x cos x is equal to cos x minus x times the derivative of cos x, which is -sin x. This gives us cos x - x sin x as the answer.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon can be found using the formula: S = (n - 2) × 180o where S is the sum of the interior angles, and n is the number of sides in the polygon. For a regular polygon, all interior angles have the same measure. In this case, the interior angle of the polygon is given as 140o. Therefore, we can use the formula: S = n × 140o Substituting this into the formula for the sum of interior angles, we get: n × 140o = (n - 2) × 180o Simplifying this equation, we get: 140n = 180n - 360 Solving for n, we get: 40n = 360 n = 9 Therefore, the polygon has 9 sides.
