1/4

Detalhes da Resposta

To simplify the expression (√98 -√50)/√32, we can first simplify the square roots in the numerator and denominator. √98 can be written as √(49 × 2), which simplifies to 7√2. Similarly, √50 can be written as √(25 × 2), which simplifies to 5√2. Finally, √32 can be written as √(16 × 2), which simplifies to 4√2. Now, we can substitute these simplified values into the original expression to get: (7√2 - 5√2)/(4√2) Simplifying the numerator further by combining like terms, we get: 2√2/4√2 Which simplifies to: 1/2 Therefore, the answer is 1/2.

The length a person can jump is inversely proportional to his weight. If a 20 kg person can jump 1.5 m, find the constant of proportionality

60

Detalhes da Resposta

Inverse proportionality means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases in a proportional manner. In this case, the length a person can jump is inversely proportional to his weight. Let's assume that the constant of proportionality is represented by 'k'. We can use the following formula to solve for 'k': Jump length ∝ 1/Weight Jump length = k/Weight We know that a 20 kg person can jump 1.5 m. So we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for 'k': 1.5 = k/20 k = 30 Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 30. This means that if we multiply the weight of a person by 30, we will get the length of the jump they can make. For example, a person who weighs 60 kg will be able to jump half the distance of a person who weighs 30 kg.

Detalhes da Resposta

The area of a trapezium is given by the formula A = (1/2)(a+b)h, where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides, and h is the perpendicular distance between them. In this question, we are given that the parallel sides have lengths 5cm and 9cm, and the area is 21cm^2. We can plug these values into the formula and solve for h: 21 = (1/2)(5+9)h 21 = (1/2)(14)h 21 = 7h h = 3 Therefore, the distance between the parallel sides is 3cm. So the answer is option A: 3cm.

A cinema halll contains a certain number of people. If 25/2% are children, 95/2% are men and 84 are women, find the number of men in the hall.

63

113

133

Detalhes da Resposta

Let's use algebra to solve this problem. Let the total number of people in the hall be x. Then we can write two equations based on the given information: - (25/2)% of x are children: (25/2)% * x = 0.25x - (95/2)% of x are men: (95/2)% * x = 0.95x We know that 84 people in the hall are women. So the total number of men and children in the hall is: x - 84 We can set up an equation using this expression and the two equations we found above: 0.25x + 0.95x = x - 84 Simplifying this equation, we get: 1.2x = x - 84 0.2x = -84 x = -420 This answer doesn't make sense because we can't have a negative number of people in the hall. We made an error somewhere. Let's check our work. We can see that our equation for the total number of people in the hall doesn't take into account the 84 women. We need to add 84 to our equation: x = 0.25x + 0.95x + 84 Simplifying this equation, we get: x = 1.2x + 84 0.2x = 84 x = 420 This is the correct total number of people in the hall. Now we can find the number of men: 0.95x = 0.95 * 420 = 399 So there are 399 men in the hall. Therefore, the answer is option (D) 133.

In set theory, the complement of a set A, denoted by A', is the set of all elements in the universal set that are not in A. In this question, we are given three sets: U, P, and Q. U is the set of even numbers between 0 and 30, P is the set of multiples of 6 between 0 and 30, and Q is the set of multiples of 4 between 0 and 30. To find (P∪Q)c, we first need to find P∪Q, which is the union of P and Q. The union of two sets is the set of all elements that are in either set. In this case, P∪Q is the set of all multiples of either 4 or 6 between 0 and 30. We can list out the elements of P∪Q: {0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30} To find (P∪Q)c, we need to find the complement of P∪Q, which is the set of all even numbers between 0 and 30 that are not multiples of either 4 or 6. We can list out the even numbers between 0 and 30 that are not multiples of 4 or 6: {2, 10, 14, 22, 26} Therefore, the answer is option A: {2, 10, 14, 22, 26}.

Detalhes da Resposta

Since PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral add up to 180 degrees. That is, ∠PQS + ∠QRS = 180° and ∠QPS + ∠RQS = 180° We are given that ∠QPS = 75°, so we can use the above equation to find ∠RQS. ∠QPS + ∠RQS = 180° 75° + ∠RQS = 180° ∠RQS = 180° - 75° = 105° Therefore, the size of ∠QRS is 105°. Option (C) "105" is the correct answer.

On the pie chart, there are four sectors of which three angles are $45^\circ$, $90^\circ$ and $135^\circ$. If the smallest sector represents N28.00, how much is the largest sector?

N96.00

N84.00

N48.00

N42.00

Detalhes da Resposta

To solve this problem, we need to first find the total angle of the pie chart, which is always 360∘. Next, we need to determine the value of one degree of the pie chart. We can do this by dividing the value of the smallest sector (N28.00) by its corresponding angle (45∘): N28.00 ÷ 45∘ = N0.62 per degree Now that we know the value of one degree, we can use it to find the value of the largest sector, which has an angle of 135∘: N0.62 × 135∘ = N83.70 Therefore, the largest sector represents N83.70, which is closest to the option N84.00.

Detalhes da Resposta

The cost of one orange can be found by dividing the total cost by the number of oranges: Cost of one orange = 1800/270 = ₦6.67 (rounded to two decimal places) The selling price of 5 oranges is ₦40.00. So the selling price of one orange is: Selling price of one orange = 40/5 = ₦8.00 Profit per orange = Selling price - Cost price = ₦8.00 - ₦6.67 = ₦1.33 Total profit = Profit per orange x number of oranges sold = ₦1.33 x 270 = ₦359.10 Therefore, the woman's profit is ₦360.00 (rounded up to the nearest naira). So the answer is: ₦360.00

Detalhes da Resposta

The given expression is an equation that involves the binomial coefficients nP3 and nC4, where n is an integer. We are asked to find the value of n that satisfies the equation: nP3 - 6(nC4) = 0 Using the formula for the binomial coefficients, we can simplify the expression: nP3 = n(n-1)(n-2) nC4 = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/4! Substituting these expressions into the given equation, we get: n(n-1)(n-2) - 6(n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/4!) = 0 Simplifying further: n(n-1)(n-2)(1 - 6(n-3)/4!) = 0 Since n is an integer, we must have either n = 0, n = 1, n = 2 or 1 - 6(n-3)/4! = 0. However, n cannot be 0, 1, or 2 because nP3 and nC4 are defined only for n >= 4. Therefore, we need to solve the equation: 1 - 6(n-3)/4! = 0 6(n-3)/4! = 1 n-3 = 4! / 6 n-3 = 4 n = 7 Hence, the value of n that satisfies the given equation is 7.

Detalhes da Resposta

In a geometric progression, each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a fixed constant called the common ratio (r). Therefore, if we divide any two consecutive terms in a geometric progression, we get the same value for the common ratio. In this problem, the three consecutive terms are given as n-2, n, and n+3. We can divide the second term (n) by the first term (n-2) to get: n / (n-2) We can also divide the third term (n+3) by the second term (n) to get: (n+3) / n Since these two values must be equal to the common ratio (r), we can set them equal to each other and solve for r: n / (n-2) = (n+3) / n n^2 = n(n-2) + (n+3)(n-2) n^2 = n^2 - 2n + n^2 - 5n + 6 0 = n^2 - 7n + 6 0 = (n-1)(n-6) This equation has two solutions, n=1 and n=6. However, n cannot be equal to 1 because that would make the first term (n-2) equal to -1, which is not allowed in a geometric progression. Therefore, n must be equal to 6. Plugging n=6 back into the equation for the common ratio, we get: r = (n+3) / n = 9 / 6 = 3/2 Therefore, the correct answer is: 3/2.

There are 5 black balls and 3 red balls in the bag, so there are a total of 8 balls. When two balls are picked at random without replacement, there are (8 choose 2) = 28 ways of doing so. To pick a black ball and a red ball, we can pick one black ball from the 5 available, and one red ball from the 3 available. There are (5 choose 1) = 5 ways to pick one black ball, and (3 choose 1) = 3 ways to pick one red ball. By the multiplication principle, there are a total of 5 × 3 = 15 ways to pick a black ball and a red ball. Therefore, the probability of picking a black ball and a red ball is 15/28.

To solve the system of inequalities 4x - 7 ≤ y ≤ 3x and 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x, we can use the following steps: 1. For the first inequality, isolate y in the middle by adding 7 to both sides: 4x - 7 + 7 ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7, which simplifies to 4x ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7. 2. For the second inequality, isolate y in the middle by adding 4 to both sides: 3x - 4 + 4 ≤ y + 4 ≤ 4x + 4, which simplifies to 3x ≤ y + 4 ≤ 4x + 4. 3. We want to find the range of values of x that satisfy both inequalities. To do this, we need to find the intersection of the two intervals [4x, 3x + 7] and [3x, 4x + 4] for y. 4. We start by finding the maximum lower bound of the two intervals. The lower bound of [4x, 3x + 7] is 4x, and the lower bound of [3x, 4x + 4] is 4x. So the maximum lower bound is 4x. 5. We then find the minimum upper bound of the two intervals. The upper bound of [4x, 3x + 7] is 3x + 7, and the upper bound of [3x, 4x + 4] is 4x + 4. So the minimum upper bound is 3x + 7. 6. Therefore, the range of values of x that satisfy both inequalities is 4x ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7 and 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x, which simplifies to 4x ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7 and 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x. 7. To solve for x, we can use the second inequality: 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x. We can substitute the upper bound of y with 4x and the lower bound of y with 3x - 4 to get 3x - 4 ≤ 3x - 4 ≤ x ≤ 4x. Therefore, the range of values of x that satisfy both inequalities is -4 ≤ x ≤ 7. Therefore, the correct option is "-4 ≤ x ≤ 7".

Detalhes da Resposta

To simplify the expression 1 - (7/3 x 5/4) + 2/5, we first need to evaluate the product of the fractions inside the parentheses: 7/3 x 5/4 = (7 x 5)/(3 x 4) = 35/12 Substituting this value back into the original expression, we get: 1 - 35/12 + 2/5 To combine the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 12 and 5 is 60, so we can convert the fractions as follows: 1 = 60/60 35/12 = (35 x 5)/(12 x 5) = 175/60 2/5 = 24/60 Substituting these values back into the expression, we get: 60/60 - 175/60 + 24/60 = -91/60 Therefore, the simplified form of the expression is -91/60. Therefore, the correct answer is: -79/60.

To find the midpoint of a line segment, we can use the midpoint formula, which states that the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2). Using this formula, we can find the midpoint of PQ by plugging in the coordinates of P and Q: Midpoint of PQ = ((-1 - 3)/2, (6 - 4)/2) = (-2, 1) Similarly, we can find the midpoint of QR by plugging in the coordinates of Q and R: Midpoint of QR = ((-3 + 1)/2, (-4 - 4)/2) = (-1, -4) Therefore, the correct answer is: (-2,1) and (-1,-4)

To solve this equation, we can use the logarithmic identity log(a) + log(b) = log(ab) and log(a) - log(b) = log(a/b). Using this identity, we can simplify the equation: log√24 + log1216 − log432 = log(24^(1/2)) + log(1216) - log(432) = log(4^(1/2) * 6^(1/2)) + log(1216) - log(432) = log(2*3) + log(1216) - log(432) = log(2*3*1216/432) = log(16) Therefore, the answer is 2.5. In summary, we use logarithmic identities to simplify the equation and find that the answer is 2.5.

The graph of the function y = x2 + 4 and a straight line PQ are drawn to solve the equation x2 - 3x + 2 = 0. What is the equation of PQ?

y = 3x - 2

y = 3x + 2

y = 3x - 4

y = 3x + 4

Detalhes da Resposta

To solve the equation x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0, we can factor it into (x - 1)(x - 2) = 0. This means that x = 1 or x = 2. Now, we can plug these values of x into the equation y = x^2 + 4 to get the corresponding y values. When x = 1, y = 5 and when x = 2, y = 8. We also know that the line PQ intersects the graph of y = x^2 + 4 at two points, since the equation x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0 has two solutions. Since the line PQ is a straight line, we can find its equation by using the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, we can use the two points of intersection between PQ and the parabola, which are (1, 5) and (2, 8). The slope is the change in y over the change in x, which is (8 - 5)/(2 - 1) = 3. To find the y-intercept, we can plug in the coordinates of one of the points into the slope-intercept form and solve for b. Using (1, 5), we get: 5 = 3(1) + b b = 2 So the equation of PQ is y = 3x + 2, which is.

Detalhes da Resposta

To find the number of committees of three that can be formed consisting of two men and one woman from four men and three women, we can use the combination formula. The number of ways to choose 2 men from 4 men is given by the combination formula as 4C2 = (4!)/(2!2!) = 6. Similarly, the number of ways to choose 1 woman from 3 women is 3C1 = 3. Therefore, the total number of committees of three that can be formed consisting of two men and one woman is the product of these two combinations: 6 x 3 = 18 So, there are 18 committees of three that can be formed consisting of two men and one woman from four men and three women. Therefore, the answer is 18.

If y = 3 sin(-4x), dy/dx is

12x cos (4x)

-12x cos (-4x)

-12 cos (-4x)

12 sin (-4x)

Detalhes da Resposta

To find the derivative of y with respect to x, we use the chain rule of differentiation, which states that if y = f(g(x)), then dy/dx = f'(g(x)) * g'(x). In this case, we have y = 3 sin(-4x), so f(g(x)) = 3 sin(g(x)) and g(x) = -4x. Therefore, f'(g(x)) = 3 cos(g(x)) and g'(x) = -4. Plugging these values into the chain rule, we get: dy/dx = f'(g(x)) * g'(x) = 3 cos(-4x) * (-4) = -12 cos(4x) Therefore, the correct answer is: -12x cos(-4x).

Detalhes da Resposta

To find the maximum value of y = 3x^2 - x^3, we can take the derivative of y with respect to x, set it equal to zero, and solve for x. First, we find the derivative of y: dy/dx = 6x - 3x^2 Setting this equal to zero gives: 6x - 3x^2 = 0 Factor out x: x(6 - 3x) = 0 Solving for x, we get two solutions: x = 0 or x = 2 To determine which value of x gives the maximum value of y, we can use the second derivative test. Taking the second derivative of y: d^2y/dx^2 = 6 - 6x Plugging in x = 0 and x = 2: d^2y/dx^2 |x=0 = 6 > 0 d^2y/dx^2 |x=2 = -6 < 0 Since the second derivative is positive at x = 0 and negative at x = 2, this means that x = 0 corresponds to a minimum value of y, while x = 2 corresponds to a maximum value of y. Therefore, the maximum value of y = 3x^2 - x^3 occurs when x = 2, and is equal to: y = 3(2)^2 - (2)^3 = 4. So the answer is 4.

2x(2b - a)(3b - y)

Detalhes da Resposta

To factorize the given expression completely, we need to look for the common factors among the terms. First, we can take out 2 as a common factor from all the terms. So the expression becomes: 2(2abx - axy - 6b^2x + 3bxy) Next, we can take out ax as a common factor from the first two terms and 3bx as a common factor from the last two terms. So we get: 2ax(2b - y) - 3bx(2b - y) Now, we can see that (2b - y) is a common factor in both terms, so we can take it out. This gives us: (2b - y)(2ax - 3bx) So, the expression is completely factorized as (2b - y)(2ax - 3bx). Thus, the correct option is: 2x(a - 3b)(2b - y)

To evaluate the integral ?23(x^2 - 2x)dx, we need to find the antiderivative of the integrand and then apply the definite integral between the limits of integration, 2 and 3. First, we find the antiderivative of x^2 - 2x: ∫(x^2 - 2x)dx = (1/3)x^3 - x^2 + C where C is the constant of integration. Next, we apply the limits of integration, 2 and 3: ∫2^3(x^2 - 2x)dx = [(1/3)3^3 - 3^2] - [(1/3)2^3 - 2^2] = (27/3 - 9) - (8/3 - 4) = 9 - (8/3) = (27/3) - (8/3) = 19/3 Therefore, the value of the integral ?23(x^2 - 2x)dx is 19/3. So the answer is 4/3.
