A stone is dropped from a height of 45m. Find the time it takes to hit the ground. \([g = 10 ms^{-2}]\)
Detalhes da Resposta
To solve this problem, we can use the formula: \[ s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2 \] where s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the initial velocity is zero because the stone is dropped from rest. We also know that the distance is 45m and the acceleration due to gravity is 10 \(ms^{-2}\). Thus, we have: \begin{align*} s &= ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2 \\ 45 &= 0t + \frac{1}{2}(10)t^2 \\ 45 &= 5t^2 \\ t^2 &= 9 \\ t &= 3 \end{align*} Therefore, the time it takes for the stone to hit the ground is 3 seconds. Hence, the answer is (a) 3.0 seconds.
Pergunta 4 Relatório
The distance s in metres covered by a particle in t seconds is \(s = \frac{3}{2}t^{2} - 3t\). Find its acceleration.
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the acceleration, we need to differentiate the distance formula with respect to time (t): \begin{align*} s &= \frac{3}{2}t^{2} - 3t \\ \frac{d}{dt}s &= \frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{3}{2}t^{2}\right) - \frac{d}{dt}(3t) \\ \frac{d}{dt}s &= 3t - 3 \\ \end{align*} Therefore, the acceleration is the second derivative of the distance formula with respect to time: \begin{align*} \frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}s &= \frac{d}{dt}(3t - 3) \\ \frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}s &= 3 \\ \end{align*} Thus, the acceleration of the particle is a constant value of 3 \(ms^{-2}\). Therefore, the answer is \(3 ms^{-2}\).
Pergunta 5 Relatório
Evaluate \(\log_{10}(\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4}) + 2\log_{10} 2 + \log_{10} (\frac{3}{7})\)
Detalhes da Resposta
To simplify this expression, we can first use the identity: $$\log_{a}(b) + \log_{a}(c) = \log_{a}(bc)$$ Using this identity, we can simplify the given expression as follows: \begin{align*} \log_{10}\left(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\right) + 2\log_{10}(2) + \log_{10}\left(\frac{3}{7}\right) &= \log_{10}\left(\frac{7}{12}\right) + \log_{10}(2^2) + \log_{10}\left(\frac{3}{7}\right) \\ &= \log_{10}\left(\frac{7}{12} \cdot 2^2 \cdot \frac{3}{7}\right) \\ &= \log_{10}(1) \\ &= 0 \end{align*} Therefore, the answer is 0.

Pergunta 9 Relatório
Differentiate \(\frac{x}{x + 1}\) with respect to x.
Detalhes da Resposta
To differentiate \(\frac{x}{x + 1}\) with respect to x, we can use the quotient rule of differentiation, which states that for functions u(x) and v(x), the derivative of \(\frac{u(x)}{v(x)}\) is given by: \[\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{u(x)}{v(x)} \right) = \frac{u'(x) v(x) - u(x) v'(x)}{(v(x))^2}\] Applying this rule to the given function, we have: \[u(x) = x\] \[v(x) = x + 1\] So, we need to find u'(x) and v'(x): \[u'(x) = 1\] \[v'(x) = 1\] Substituting these values into the quotient rule formula, we get: \[\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{x}{x + 1} \right) = \frac{1(x + 1) - x(1)}{(x + 1)^2}\] Simplifying the numerator and denominator, we get: \[\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{x}{x + 1} \right) = \frac{1}{(x + 1)^2}\] Therefore, the correct answer is \(\frac{1}{(x + 1)^2}\).

A fair die is tossed twice. Find the probability of obtaining a 3 and a 5.
Detalhes da Resposta
When a die is tossed, there are six possible outcomes, each with equal probability. Therefore, the probability of getting a 3 on the first toss is 1/6, and the probability of getting a 5 on the second toss is also 1/6. Since we want both events to occur, we need to multiply their probabilities: \[\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{36}\] So, the probability of obtaining a 3 and a 5 is 1/36. Therefore, the correct option is: - \(\frac{1}{36}\)

If (x + 1) is a factor of the polynomial \(x^{3} + px^{2} + x + 6\). Find the value of p.
Detalhes da Resposta
If (x + 1) is a factor of the polynomial, it means that if we substitute -1 in the polynomial, it should give us zero. Therefore: \((-1)^3 + p(-1)^2 -1 + 6 = 0\) Simplifying the above equation, we get: \(-1 + p + 5 = 0\) \(p = -4\) Hence, the value of p is -4. So the correct answer is.
Pergunta 15 Relatório
Given that \(P = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 5 & -3 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(Q = \begin{pmatrix} 4 & -8 \\ 1 & -2 \end{pmatrix}\), Find (2P - Q).
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the value of (2P - Q), we first need to compute 2P and Q, and then subtract Q from 2P. To compute 2P, we multiply each element of matrix P by 2: 2P = \(\begin{pmatrix} 4 & 2 \\ 10 & -6 \end{pmatrix}\) To subtract Q from 2P, we subtract each corresponding element of matrix Q from matrix 2P: 2P - Q = \(\begin{pmatrix} 4-4 & 2+8 \\ 10-1 & -6+2 \end{pmatrix}\) = \(\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 10 \\ 9 & -4 \end{pmatrix}\) Therefore, the answer is \(\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 10 \\ 9 & -4 \end{pmatrix}\).

The angle of a sector of a circle is 0.9 radians. If the radius of the circle is 4cm, find the length of the arc of the sector.
Detalhes da Resposta
The formula for finding the length of an arc of a sector is given by L = rθ, where L is the length of the arc, r is the radius of the circle, and θ is the angle in radians. Using this formula and the given values, we have: L = 4 x 0.9 L = 3.6 cm Therefore, the length of the arc of the sector is 3.6 cm. Answer: 3.6 cm.
Pergunta 17 Relatório
If P(x - 3) + Q(x + 1) = 2x + 3, find the value of (P + Q).
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the value of (P + Q), we need to first expand the left-hand side of the equation using distributive property. P(x - 3) + Q(x + 1) = Px - 3P + Qx + Q Then we can simplify it by combining the like terms. Px + Qx - 3P + Q + 2x + 3 = 0 Now, we can group the like terms together: (P + Q)x - 3P + Q + 3 = 2x + 3 Since the coefficients of x on both sides of the equation are equal, we can equate the corresponding coefficients of x: (P + Q) = 2 Therefore, the value of (P + Q) is 2. So the correct answer is: - 2
Pergunta 18 Relatório

Find the acute angle between the lines 2x + y = 4 and -3x + y + 7 = 0.
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the acute angle between two lines, we need to find the angle between their respective direction vectors. The direction vector of the line 2x + y = 4 is v = i + 2j and the direction vector of the line -3x + y + 7 = 0 is w = -3i + j. The acute angle θ between two vectors a and b is given by the formula cos(θ) = (a.b) / (|a|.|b|), where a.b is the dot product of the vectors and |a| and |b| are their respective magnitudes. Using this formula, we can find cos(θ) for the given direction vectors as follows: cos(θ) = (v.w) / (|v|.|w|) = (-5) / (√5.√10) = -1/√2 Since we are looking for the acute angle, we need to take the inverse cosine of -1/√2 in the range [0, π/2]: θ = cos-1(-1/√2) ≈ 45° Therefore, the acute angle between the given lines is approximately 45°, which is.
Pergunta 22 Relatório
If r denotes the correlation coefficient between two variables, which of the following is always true?
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct answer is: \(-1 \leq r \leq 1\). The correlation coefficient (r) measures the degree of linear association between two variables. The value of r ranges from -1 to 1, where -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, 0 indicates no correlation, and 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation. Since r can take on any value between -1 and 1 (including -1 and 1), the correct statement is \(-1 \leq r \leq 1\), which means that the correlation coefficient is always between -1 and 1, inclusive. Therefore, options (A), (B), and (C) are incorrect.

The equation of a circle is \(3x^{2} + 3y^{2} + 24x - 12y = 15\). Find its radius.
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the radius of the circle, we need to use the standard form of the equation of a circle, which is \((x - a)^{2} + (y - b)^{2} = r^{2}\), where \((a, b)\) is the center of the circle and \(r\) is the radius. To convert the given equation to standard form, we can complete the square for both \(x\) and \(y\): \begin{align*} 3x^{2} + 3y^{2} + 24x - 12y &= 15 \\ 3(x^{2} + 8x) + 3(y^{2} - 4y) &= 15 \\ 3(x^{2} + 8x + 16) + 3(y^{2} - 4y + 4) &= 15 + 3(16) + 3(4) \\ 3(x + 4)^{2} + 3(y - 2)^{2} &= 72 \\ (x + 4)^{2} + (y - 2)^{2} &= 8^{2} \end{align*} Comparing this with the standard form, we see that the center of the circle is \((-4, 2)\) and the radius is \(8\). Therefore, the answer is (d) 5.

In computing the mean of 8 numbers, a boy mistakenly used 17 instead of 25 as one of the numbers and obtained 20 as the mean. Find the correct mean
Detalhes da Resposta
Let's call the sum of the 8 correct numbers "S" and the incorrect number that was added "x". The mean of the 8 numbers is: S/8 But the boy used 17 instead of 25, so the sum he used was: S + 17 - 25 = S - 8 And he got a mean of 20, so we can set up the equation: (S - 8)/8 = 20 Solving for S, we get: S = 168 So the correct mean is: S/8 = 168/8 = 21 Therefore, the correct mean is 21, which is.

Find the values of x at the point of intersection of the curve \(y = x^{2} + 2x - 3\) and the lines \(y + x = 1\).
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the point of intersection of the curve and the line, we need to solve the system of equations formed by equating the two equations: \begin{align*} y &= x^2 + 2x - 3 \\ y &= -x + 1 \end{align*} Setting the right-hand sides equal to each other, we get: \begin{align*} x^2 + 2x - 3 &= -x + 1 \\ x^2 + 3x - 4 &= 0 \\ (x + 4)(x - 1) &= 0 \end{align*} Thus, the values of x at the points of intersection are x = -4 and x = 1. To find the corresponding y-values, we substitute these values of x back into either equation. Using the equation y = x^2 + 2x - 3, we get: \begin{align*} y &= (-4)^2 + 2(-4) - 3 \\ &= 7 \end{align*} and \begin{align*} y &= (1)^2 + 2(1) - 3 \\ &= 0 \end{align*} Therefore, the points of intersection are (-4, 7) and (1, 0). So, the correct answer is (1, -4).

A binary operation, \(\Delta\), is defined on the set of real numbers by \(a \Delta b = a + b + 4\). Find the identity element.
Detalhes da Resposta
An identity element in a binary operation is an element such that when it operates with any other element of the set, it does not change the other element. In this case, we need to find an element, say "x," such that for any real number "a," $$a \Delta x = a$$ Substituting the given definition of the operation, we get: $$a + x + 4 = a$$ Solving for x, we get: $$x = -4$$ Thus, -4 is the identity element for the given binary operation.
Pergunta 33 Relatório
If the midpoint of the line joining (1 - k, -4) and (2, k + 1) is (-k, k), find the value of k.
Detalhes da Resposta
We can start by using the midpoint formula which states that the midpoint of a line joining two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is \((\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\). So, the midpoint of the line joining (1-k, -4) and (2, k+1) is: \begin{align*} &\left(\frac{(1-k)+2}{2},\frac{(-4)+(k+1)}{2}\right) \\ &\Rightarrow \left(\frac{3-k}{2},\frac{k-3}{2}\right) \end{align*} We are given that the midpoint is (-k, k), so we can equate the x and y coordinates: \begin{align*} \frac{3-k}{2} &=-k \\ \frac{k-3}{2} &=k \end{align*} Solving for k, we get: \begin{align*} k &= 2 \\ \end{align*} Therefore, the value of k is 2, which is the answer option labeled as "-2".

QRS is a triangle such that \(\overrightarrow{QR} = (3i + 2j)\) and \(\overrightarrow{SR} = (-5i + 3j)\), find \(\overrightarrow{SQ}\).
Detalhes da Resposta
To find \(\overrightarrow{SQ}\), we can use the fact that \(\overrightarrow{SR} = \overrightarrow{SQ} + \overrightarrow{QR}\). Rearranging this equation to solve for \(\overrightarrow{SQ}\) gives us: $$\overrightarrow{SQ} = \overrightarrow{SR} - \overrightarrow{QR} = (-5i + 3j) - (3i + 2j) = -8i + j$$ Therefore, the value of \(\overrightarrow{SQ}\) is -8i + j. So, the correct option is (A) 8i + j.
Pergunta 35 Relatório
Find the unit vector in the direction of the vector \(-12i + 5j\).
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the unit vector in the direction of the vector \(-12i + 5j\), we need to divide the vector by its magnitude. The magnitude of a vector with components \(a\) and \(b\) is given by the formula \(\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\). So, the magnitude of the vector \(-12i + 5j\) is \(\sqrt{(-12)^2+5^2} = 13\). Now, to get the unit vector, we divide each component of the vector by its magnitude: \[\frac{-12}{13}i + \frac{5}{13}j\] This is the unit vector in the direction of the vector \(-12i + 5j\). Therefore, the correct option is \(\frac{-12i}{13} + \frac{5j}{13}\).

Therefore, the answer is r = 3.
