The distance, d, through which a stone falls from rest varies directly as the square of the time, t, taken. If the stone falls 45cm in 3 seconds, how far will it fall in 6 seconds?

90cm

135cm

180cm Juist antwoord

225cm

Antwoorddetails

The problem can be solved using the formula for direct variation: d = kt^2 where d is the distance, t is the time, and k is the constant of variation. We can solve for k using the given information that the stone falls 45cm in 3 seconds: 45 = k(3)^2 45 = 9k k = 5 Now that we know k, we can use the formula to find how far the stone will fall in 6 seconds: d = 5(6)^2 d = 5(36) d = 180cm Therefore, the answer is 180cm.

Find the lower quartile of the distribution illustrated by the cumulative frequency curve

17.5

19.0 Juist antwoord

27.5

28.0

Antwoorddetails

To find the lower quartile, we need to identify the point on the cumulative frequency curve that corresponds to 25% of the total frequency. From the graph, we see that the total frequency is 40, and 25% of this is 10. The point on the curve that corresponds to a frequency of 10 is at a value of 19.0. Therefore, the lower quartile is 19.0. Note that the cumulative frequency curve shows the cumulative frequency of data values up to and including each data point on the horizontal axis. So, we can read off quartiles and other percentiles directly from the graph.

A bag contains 5 red and 4 blue identical balls. Id two balls are selected at random from the bag, one after the other, with replacement, find the probability that the first is red and the second is blue

$\frac{2}{9}$

$\frac{5}{18}$

$\frac{20}{81}$ Juist antwoord

$\frac{5}{9}$

Antwoorddetails

When two balls are drawn from the bag with replacement, there are a total of $9\times9=81$ possible outcomes, since there are 9 balls in the bag and we are replacing each ball after drawing. To find the probability that the first ball is red and the second ball is blue, we can use the multiplication rule of probability. The probability that the first ball is red is $\frac{5}{9}$, since there are 5 red balls out of 9 total balls in the bag. After replacing the first ball, there are still 9 balls in the bag, but now 4 of them are blue. So the probability that the second ball is blue, given that the first ball was red, is $\frac{4}{9}$. Therefore, the probability that the first ball is red and the second ball is blue is: $$\frac{5}{9} \times \frac{4}{9} = \frac{20}{81}$$ Hence the answer is $\frac{20}{81}$.

On a map, 1cm represent 5km. Find the area on the map that represents 100km².

2cm²

4cm² Juist antwoord

8cm²

20cm 2

Antwoorddetails

If 1cm represents 5km on the map, then x cm will represent 100km² on the map. To find x, we can use the formula for area of a square, which is A = s². In this case, we want to solve for s, where A = 100 and s represents the side length on the map in centimeters. So, s² = A s² = 100 s = √100 s = 10cm Therefore, 10cm on the map represents 100km² on the ground. To find the area on the map that represents 100km², we need to find the area of a square with a side length of 10cm. Area = s² Area = 10cm x 10cm Area = 100cm² So, the area on the map that represents 100km² is 100cm², which is equal to 1cm x 1cm, 4cm², or.

A straight line passes through the points P(1,2) and Q(5,8). Calculate the gradient of the line PQ

$\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{3}{2}$ Juist antwoord

$\frac{5}{3}$

Antwoorddetails

The gradient of a line is the measure of its steepness, or slope. To find the gradient of the line PQ, we need to use the formula: Gradient (m) = change in y / change in x We can calculate the change in y by subtracting the y-coordinate of point P from the y-coordinate of point Q: 8 - 2 = 6 Similarly, we can calculate the change in x by subtracting the x-coordinate of point P from the x-coordinate of point Q: 5 - 1 = 4 Therefore, the gradient of the line PQ is: Gradient (m) = change in y / change in x = 6 / 4 = 3/2 Therefore, the answer is option C: $\frac{3}{2}$.

Antwoorddetails

We can simplify this expression by using the properties of exponents and simplifying the numbers. First, we can write 27 as 3³ and 81 as 3⁴. Next, we can simplify the numerator by using the distributive property of exponents: \begin{align*} \frac{3^{n-1} \times 27^{n+1}}{81^n} &= \frac{3^{n-1} \times 3^{3(n+1)}}{3^{4n}} \\ &= \frac{3^{n-1} \times 3^{3n+3}}{3^{4n}} \\ &= \frac{3^{4n-1}}{3^{4n}} \times 3^{3n+3} \\ &= 3^{-1} \times 3^{3n+3} \\ &= 3^{3n+2} \\ &= 3^2 \times 3^{3n} \\ &= 9 \times 3^n \\ \end{align*} Therefore, the simplified expression is 9 * 3ⁿ. So, the answer is 9.

The volume of a pyramid with height 15cm is 90cm³. If its base is a rectangle with dimension xcm by 6cm, find the value of x

3 Juist antwoord

Antwoorddetails

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is given as: V = (1/3) * base_area * height Let the length of the rectangle be x, then the base area of the pyramid is given as: base_area = x * 6 From the question, we are told that the volume of the pyramid is 90cm³ and its height is 15cm. Substituting into the formula for the volume of a pyramid, we have: 90 = (1/3) * (x * 6) * 15 Multiplying both sides by 3 gives: 270 = 90 * 6x Dividing both sides by 90 gives: 3 = 2x Therefore, x = 3/2 = 1.5 Hence, the value of x is 3. Answer option A, 3, is the correct answer.

7.0cm

Antwoorddetails

The curved surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula: 2$\pi$rh. Given that the cylinder is 5cm high and its curved surface area is 110cm², we can write: 2$\pi$rh = 110, where h = 5 Substituting the value of $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$ and h = 5, we get: 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x r x 5 = 110 Simplifying this expression, we get: r = $\frac{7}{2}$ r = 3.5cm (to one decimal place) Therefore, the radius of the cylinder is approximately 3.5cm. Hence, the answer is 3.5cm.

14 Juist antwoord

Antwoorddetails

To find the median, we need to first arrange the ages in order from lowest to highest. Then, we can determine which age lies in the middle of the list. Arranging the ages in order of increasing magnitude, we have: $$13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 17, 17, 17$$ There are a total of 10+24+8+5+3 = 50 ages in the list, which is an even number. To find the median, we need to take the average of the two middle ages. The two middle ages are the 25th and 26th ages in the list, which are both 14. Therefore, the median age is: $$(14 + 14)/2 = 14$$ So the correct answer is 14.

s = $\frac{nr + m^2}{mrp}$

s = $\frac{nrp}{mr + m^2}$

s = $\frac{nrp}{nr + m^2}$ Juist antwoord

Antwoorddetails

To make s the subject of the relation P = S + $\frac{sm^2}{nr}$, we need to isolate s on one side of the equation. First, we can start by moving the $\frac{sm^2}{nr}$ term to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides: P - $\frac{sm^2}{nr}$ = S Next, we can solve for s by multiplying both sides of the equation by $\frac{nr}{m^2}$: s = $\frac{nr}{m^2}$(P - $\frac{sm^2}{nr}$) Simplifying the right-hand side, we get: s = $\frac{nrp}{m^2}$ - $\frac{s}{m}$ To isolate s, we can add $\frac{s}{m}$ to both sides of the equation: s + $\frac{sm}{m^2}$ = $\frac{nrp}{m^2}$ Simplifying the left-hand side, we get: s($\frac{m + 1}{m^2}$) = $\frac{nrp}{m^2}$ Finally, we can solve for s by dividing both sides of the equation by $\frac{m+1}{m^2}$: s = $\frac{nrp}{nr + m^2}$ Therefore, the answer is s = $\frac{nrp}{nr + m^2}$.

Simplify; $\frac{2}{1 - x} - \frac{1}{x}$

$\frac{3x + 1}{ x(1 - x)}$

$\frac{x + 1}{ x(1 - x)}$

Antwoorddetails

To simplify the expression $\frac{2}{1-x} - \frac{1}{x}$, we need to first find a common denominator. The denominator of the first fraction is $(1-x)$ and the denominator of the second fraction is $x$. The common denominator of these two fractions is $x(1-x)$. Now, we need to rewrite each fraction with this common denominator. For the first fraction, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by $x$, giving us $\frac{2x}{x(1-x)}$. For the second fraction, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by $(1-x)$, giving us $\frac{-(1-x)}{x(1-x)}$. Putting these two fractions together, we get: \[\frac{2x}{x(1-x)} - \frac{1-x}{x(1-x)} = \frac{2x - (1-x)}{x(1-x)} = \frac{3x-1}{x(1-x)}\] Therefore, the answer is $\frac{3x-1}{x(1-x)}$.

A sphere of radius rcm has the same volume as cylinder of radius 3cm and height 4cm. Find the value of r

$\frac{2}{3}$

3 Juist antwoord

Antwoorddetails

The volume of a sphere of radius r is given by the formula: $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$. The volume of a cylinder of radius 3cm and height 4cm is given by the formula: $\pi (3cm)^2(4cm) = 36\pi cm^3$. According to the question, the volume of the sphere is equal to the volume of the cylinder. Therefore: \[\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = 36\pi\] Dividing both sides by $\frac{4}{3}\pi$, we get: \[r^3 = 27\] Taking the cube root of both sides, we get: \[r = 3\] Therefore, the value of r is 3cm. Answer is correct.

A straight line passes through the point P(1,2) and Q
(5,8). Calculate the length PQ

$4\sqrt{11}$

$4\sqrt{10}$

$2\sqrt{17}$

$2\sqrt{13}$ Juist antwoord

Antwoorddetails

We can use the distance formula to find the length PQ, which is the distance between points P and Q on the line. The distance formula is: distance = $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$ where (x1, y1) = P and (x2, y2) = Q. Plugging in the values: distance = $\sqrt{(5-1)^2 + (8-2)^2}$ = $\sqrt{16 + 36}$ = $\sqrt{52}$ = $2\sqrt{13}$ Therefore, the length PQ is $2\sqrt{13}$. Answer: $2\sqrt{13}$.
