Find the sum of the exponential series \(96 + 24 + 6 +...\)
Awọn alaye Idahun
The given series is 96 + 24 + 6 + ... , and we need to find its sum. First, we can observe that each term in the series is obtained by dividing the previous term by 4. So, the common ratio between consecutive terms is 1/4. Let S be the sum of the series. Then we have: S = 96 + 24 + 6 + ... Dividing both sides by 4, we get: S/4 = 24 + 6 + 1.5 + ... Now, if we subtract the second equation from the first, we get: S - S/4 = 96 Simplifying, we get: 3S/4 = 96 Multiplying both sides by 4/3, we get: S = 128 Therefore, the sum of the given series is 128. So, the correct option is (B) 128.

A particle of mass 2.5 kg is moving at a speed of 12 m/s. If a force of magnitude 10 N acts against it, find how long it takes to come to rest.
Awọn alaye Idahun
To find the time it takes for the particle to come to rest, we can use the formula: time = (initial velocity) / (deceleration) where the deceleration is the rate at which the particle's velocity decreases due to the force acting against it. The deceleration can be calculated using Newton's Second Law, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration: force = mass x acceleration Rearranging this formula, we get: acceleration = force / mass Substituting the given values, we get: acceleration = 10 N / 2.5 kg = 4 m/s^2 Therefore, the time it takes for the particle to come to rest is: time = 12 m/s / 4 m/s^2 = 3.0 s So, the answer is 3.0 s.

If \(a = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(b = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix}\), find a vector c such that \(4a + 3c = b\).
Awọn alaye Idahun
To solve this problem, we want to find a vector c that satisfies the equation 4a + 3c = b. We can rearrange this equation to get: 3c = b - 4a Now we just need to solve for c. We can do this by dividing both sides by 3: c = (b - 4a) / 3 Substituting the values of a and b given in the problem, we get: c = (\begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} - 4\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}) / 3 c = (\begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} 12 \\ 8 \end{pmatrix}) / 3 c = \begin{pmatrix} -15/3 \\ -3/3 \end{pmatrix} c = \begin{pmatrix} -5 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix} Therefore, the answer is option B, \(\begin{pmatrix} -5 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}\).

A particle is projected vertically upwards from a height 45 metres above the ground with a velocity of 40 m/s. How long does it take it to hit the ground? [Take g = \(10 ms^{-2}\)].
Awọn alaye Idahun
We can use the kinematic equation: h = ut + 1/2gt^2 where h is the initial height (45m), u is the initial velocity (40 m/s), g is the acceleration due to gravity (10 m/s^2), and t is the time taken for the particle to hit the ground. At the point where the particle hits the ground, h = 0, so we can solve for t: 0 = 40t - 1/2(10)t^2 Simplifying this equation gives: 0 = 5t(8 - t) This equation has two solutions: t = 0 and t = 8. We can ignore the t = 0 solution because it corresponds to the initial moment when the particle is projected upward. So, the particle will hit the ground after 8 seconds. Therefore, the answer is: 9s (since the particle was projected from a height of 45m, it takes 8 seconds to fall and hit the ground. However, the total time from the projection until it hits the ground would be 9 seconds).

Find the coefficient of \(x^{4}\) in the binomial expansion of \((1 - 2x)^{6}\).
Awọn alaye Idahun
We can use the binomial theorem to find the coefficient of \(x^{4}\) in the expansion of \((1 - 2x)^{6}\). The binomial theorem states that the \(n\)th power of a binomial \((a + b)^{n}\) can be expressed as the sum of the terms of the form \(a^{n-r}b^{r}\), where \(r\) ranges from 0 to \(n\). In this case, the binomial is \((1 - 2x)\), so we can expand it using the binomial theorem as follows: \[(1 - 2x)^{6} = \sum_{r=0}^{6} {6 \choose r} (1)^{6-r} (-2x)^{r}\] where \({6 \choose r}\) is the binomial coefficient. To find the coefficient of \(x^{4}\), we need to find the term where \(r\) is 2. So, we can substitute \(r = 2\) into the formula above to get: \[{6 \choose 2} (1)^{4} (-2x)^{2} = 15 \times 4x^{2} = 60x^{2}\] However, we are looking for the coefficient of \(x^{4}\), not \(x^{2}\). Since the exponent of \(x\) is 2 in the term we just calculated, we need to multiply it by another power of \(x^{2}\) to get \(x^{4}\). This means we need to find the term where \(r\) is 4. Substituting \(r = 4\) into the formula above, we get: \[{6 \choose 4} (1)^{2} (-2x)^{4} = 15 \times 16x^{4} = 240x^{4}\] Therefore, the coefficient of \(x^{4}\) in the binomial expansion of \((1 - 2x)^{6}\) is 240. Hence, the answer is 240.

We have the equation \(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -3 \\ 1 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} -6 \\ P \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -26 \end{pmatrix}\). We can solve for P by performing matrix multiplication and solving the resulting system of linear equations: \(\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -3 \\ 1 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} -6 \\ P \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -6 - 3P \\ P + 4P \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -26 \end{pmatrix}\) This gives us two equations: \(-6 - 3P = 3\) \(5P = -26\) Solving for P, we get: \(-6 - 3P = 3 \Rightarrow -3P = 9 \Rightarrow P = -3\) \(5P = -26 \Rightarrow P = \frac{-26}{5}\) Therefore, the value of P is -3. Note that the system of linear equations is consistent, meaning that there is a unique solution.

The parallelogram PQRS has vertices P(-2, 3), Q(1, 4), R(2, 6) and S(-1,5). Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the diagonals.
Awọn alaye Idahun
To find the point of intersection of the diagonals of a parallelogram, we need to find the midpoint of the segment that connects the two diagonals. This midpoint is the point of intersection of the diagonals. Let's start by finding the equation of the line containing the diagonal PR. The slope of PR is: $$m_{PR}=\frac{y_R-y_P}{x_R-x_P}=\frac{6-3}{2-(-2)}=\frac{3}{4}$$ Using point-slope form, the equation of line PR is: $$y-3=\frac{3}{4}(x+2)$$ Simplifying, we get: $$y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}$$ Now let's find the equation of the line containing the diagonal QS. The slope of QS is: $$m_{QS}=\frac{y_S-y_Q}{x_S-x_Q}=\frac{5-4}{-1-1}=\frac{-1}{2}$$ Using point-slope form, the equation of line QS is: $$y-4=\frac{-1}{2}(x-1)$$ Simplifying, we get: $$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{9}{2}$$ To find the point of intersection of the diagonals, we need to find the midpoint of the segment that connects the two diagonals. Let's call this midpoint M. The midpoint M is the average of the coordinates of the endpoints of the segment, which are the intersection points of the diagonals with their respective sides. To find the intersection point of PR with side QS, we solve the system of equations formed by the equations of lines PR and QS: $$\begin{cases}y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}\\y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{9}{2}\end{cases}$$ Solving for x and y, we get: $$\begin{cases}x=\frac{6}{5}\\y=\frac{39}{10}\end{cases}$$ So the intersection point of PR with side QS is (\(\frac{6}{5}, \frac{39}{10}\)). To find the intersection point of QS with side PR, we solve the system of equations formed by the equations of lines QS and PR: $$\begin{cases}y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{9}{2}\\y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}\end{cases}$$ Solving for x and y, we get: $$\begin{cases}x=-\frac{6}{5}\\y=\frac{21}{10}\end{cases}$$ So the intersection point of QS with side PR is (-\(\frac{6}{5}\), \(\frac{21}{10}\)). The midpoint M is the average of these two points, so we have: $$M=(\frac{\frac{6}{5}-\frac{6}{5}}{2}, \frac{\frac{39}{10}+\frac{21}{10}}{2})=(0, \frac{3}{2})$$ Therefore, the coordinates of the point of intersection of the diagonals is (0, \(\frac{3}{2}\)). So the answer is option (C), \((0, 4\frac{1}{2})\).

Find the coordinates of the centre of the circle \(4x^{2} + 4y^{2} - 5x + 3y - 2 = 0\).
Awọn alaye Idahun
To find the center of the given circle, we need to write the equation in standard form, which is: \[(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\] Where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius. We start by completing the square for both x and y terms, by moving the constant term to the right side and grouping the x and y terms together: \[4x^2 - 5x + 4y^2 + 3y = 2\] To complete the square for the x terms, we need to add and subtract \(\frac{5}{4}\) times the square of the coefficient of x (which is 2), inside the first bracket: \[4\left(x^2 - \frac{5}{4}x + \left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^2\right) + 4y^2 + 3y = 2 + 4\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^2\] We do the same for the y terms, by adding and subtracting \(\frac{3}{8}\) times the square of the coefficient of y (which is \(\frac{3}{2}\)), inside the second bracket: \[4\left(x^2 - \frac{5}{4}x + \left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^2\right) + 4\left(y^2 + \frac{3}{8}y + \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^2\right) = 2 + 4\left(\frac{5}{4}\right)^2 + 4\left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^2\] Now we have the equation in standard form, and we can read off the center and radius: Center = \(\left(\frac{5}{4}, -\frac{3}{8}\right)\) Radius = \(\sqrt{\frac{129}{16}} = \frac{3\sqrt{43}}{4}\) Therefore, the correct answer is option (C) \((\frac{5}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})\).

To find \(P \cap Q\), we need to find the set of all elements that are common to both P and Q. From the definitions of P and Q, we can see that the range of values that satisfy both P and Q is from 2 to 6 (including 2 and 6). Therefore, \(P \cap Q\) is the set of all real numbers between 2 and 6 (including 2 and 6). Hence, the correct option is (d) \({x : 2 < x \leq 6}\).

Similarly, the probability that Kwame misses the target is \(1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\). Now, we want to find the probability that none of them hit the target. Since they are shooting independently, we can multiply their probabilities of missing the target: Probability that both miss the target = Probability that Kojo misses the target AND Probability that Kwame misses the target = \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{15} = \frac{2}{5}\) Therefore, the probability that none of them hit the target is \(\frac{2}{5}\).

The expression \(\frac{^{n}P_{4}}{^{n}C_{4}}\) represents the number of ways to choose and arrange 4 objects out of a total of n objects, divided by the number of ways to choose 4 objects out of n objects without arranging them. The number of ways to choose and arrange 4 objects out of n objects is given by the formula for permutations, which is \(^{n}P_{4} = \frac{n!}{(n-4)!}\). The number of ways to choose 4 objects out of n objects without arranging them is given by the formula for combinations, which is \(^{n}C_{4} = \frac{n!}{4!(n-4)!}\). So, \(\frac{^{n}P_{4}}{^{n}C_{4}} = \frac{\frac{n!}{(n-4)!}}{\frac{n!}{4!(n-4)!}} = \frac{4!}{1!} = 24\). Therefore, the answer is 24.

The area of a sector of a circle is 3\(cm^{2}\). If the sector subtends an angle of 1.5 radians at the centre, calculate the radius of the circle.
Awọn alaye Idahun
To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for the area of a sector of a circle, which is: Area of sector = (θ/2) × r² where θ is the central angle subtended by the sector, r is the radius of the circle, and the angle is measured in radians. In this problem, we are given the area of the sector and the central angle, so we can plug in these values and solve for the radius: 3 = (1.5/2) × r² Multiplying both sides by 2/1.5, we get: 4 = r² Taking the square root of both sides, we get: r = 2 Therefore, the radius of the circle is 2 cm. We can check our answer by plugging it back into the formula for the area of the sector: Area of sector = (1.5/2) × 2² = 1.5 × 2 = 3 This confirms that our answer is correct.

To evaluate the limit \(\lim \limits_{x \to 1} \frac{1 - x}{x^{2} - 3x + 2}\), we can start by substituting \(x = 1\) directly into the expression. However, this results in an expression of the form \(\frac{0}{0}\), which is undefined. To evaluate such a limit, we can use algebraic techniques to simplify the expression before taking the limit. In this case, we can factor the denominator to obtain: \[\frac{1 - x}{x^{2} - 3x + 2} = \frac{1 - x}{(x - 1)(x - 2)} = -\frac{1}{x - 2}\] Now, we can take the limit as \(x\) approaches 1 by substituting \(x = 1\) directly into the simplified expression. This gives: \[\lim \limits_{x \to 1} \frac{1 - x}{x^{2} - 3x + 2} = \lim \limits_{x \to 1} -\frac{1}{x - 2} = -\frac{1}{-1} = 1\] Therefore, the limit of the expression as \(x\) approaches 1 is equal to 1.

Using long division, we have:
2x^2 + 9x + 10

x - 3 | 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 17x - 30

\[2x^{2} + 9x + 10 = (2x + 5)(x + 2)\]Therefore, the complete factorization of \(2x^{3} + 3x^{2} - 17x - 30\) is:

We can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. The formula can be written as F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. In this case, the force acting on the object is 32 N, and the acceleration produced is 8 \(ms^{-2}\). Since the object is at rest, its initial velocity is zero. So, we can use the formula F = ma to find the value of m. Rearranging the formula, we get m = F/a. Substituting the given values, we get m = 32 N / 8 \(ms^{-2}\) = 4 kg. Therefore, the value of m is 4 kg.

Note that we were able to solve for \(f^{-1}(y)\) by first setting \(y = f(x)\), then solving for x.

Calculate, correct to one decimal place, the angle between 5i + 12j and -2i + 3j.
Awọn alaye Idahun
To find the angle between two vectors, we can use the dot product formula: cos θ = (A dot B) / (|A| |B|) where A and B are the two vectors, A dot B is their dot product, and |A| and |B| are their magnitudes. Let's apply this formula to the given vectors: A = 5i + 12j B = -2i + 3j A dot B = (5*-2) + (12*3) = -10 + 36 = 26 |A| = sqrt(5^2 + 12^2) = 13 |B| = sqrt((-2)^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(13) cos θ = (26) / (13 * sqrt(13)) Using a calculator, we can find that cos θ ≈ 0.801 To find the angle θ itself, we can take the inverse cosine (cos^-1) of this value: θ ≈ cos^-1(0.801) ≈ 37.8° However, this is only half of the actual angle between the two vectors. To get the full angle, we need to take into account the direction of the vectors. If we draw the two vectors on a coordinate plane, we can see that they are in different quadrants: A is in the second quadrant and B is in the fourth quadrant. The angle between them will be the difference between their angles relative to the positive x-axis. Using the inverse tangent (tan^-1) function, we can find the angles of each vector: Angle of A = tan^-1(12/5) ≈ 67.4° Angle of B = tan^-1(-3/2) ≈ -56.3° (Note that we use a negative angle for B because it is in the fourth quadrant, where angles are negative.) The angle between the vectors will be the difference between these two angles: θ = |67.4° - (-56.3°)| = 123.7° However, this is the full angle between the vectors, and the question only asks for the acute angle (the smaller of the two possible angles). To find the acute angle, we subtract the full angle from 180°: Acute angle = 180° - 123.7° ≈ 56.3° Therefore, the answer is option B: 56.3°.

Therefore, for the quadratic equation \(2x^{2} + kx + 5 = 0\), we have: \[\alpha + \beta = -\frac{k}{2}\] \[\alpha \beta = \frac{5}{2}\] Squaring the first equation, we get: \[(\alpha + \beta)^{2} = \alpha^{2} + 2\alpha\beta + \beta^{2} = \frac{k^{2}}{4}\] Substituting the given value of \(\alpha^{2} + \beta^{2} = -1\), we have: \[-1 + 2\alpha\beta = \frac{k^{2}}{4}\] Substituting the value of \(\alpha \beta = \frac{5}{2}\), we have: \[-1 + 2\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) = \frac{k^{2}}{4}\] Simplifying the left-hand side, we get: \[4 = \frac{k^{2}}{4}\] Multiplying both sides by 4, we get: \[16 = k^{2}\] Taking the square root of both sides, we get: \[k = \pm 4\] Therefore, the values of k are \(\pm 4\).

Evaluate \(\log_{0.25} 8\)
Awọn alaye Idahun
We can use the change of base formula to evaluate \(\log_{0.25} 8\). The change of base formula states that for any positive numbers \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) with \(a \neq 1\), we have: \(\log_{a} b = \frac{\log_{c} b}{\log_{c} a}\) In this case, we can choose any base we like, but it is convenient to use base 2 because 8 and 0.25 are powers of 2. So, we can rewrite the expression as: \(\log_{0.25} 8 = \frac{\log_{2} 8}{\log_{2} 0.25}\) Now, we can evaluate the logarithms on the right-hand side using the rules of logarithms. We know that \(2^{3} = 8\) and \(2^{-2} = 0.25\), so we have: \(\log_{2} 8 = 3\) and \(\log_{2} 0.25 = -2\) Substituting these values into the equation above, we get: \(\log_{0.25} 8 = \frac{3}{-2} = -\frac{3}{2}\) Therefore, the value of \(\log_{0.25} 8\) is \(-\frac{3}{2}\). Hence, the answer is \(-\frac{3}{2}\).

Find the equation of the line passing through (0, -1) and parallel to the y- axis.
Awọn alaye Idahun
The equation of a line can be represented in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the point where the line intersects the y-axis). Since the line is parallel to the y-axis, its slope is undefined (division by zero is not defined). Therefore, the equation of the line cannot be represented in the form y = mx + b. However, we know that the line passes through the point (0, -1). This means that the x-coordinate of every point on the line is 0 (since the line is parallel to the y-axis and does not move horizontally). Therefore, the equation of the line is x = 0. This equation means that every point on the line has an x-coordinate of 0, which is the y-axis. So, the line is simply the y-axis itself. Thus, the answer is x = 0.

Solve the inequality \(2x^{2} + 5x - 3 \geq 0\).
Awọn alaye Idahun
To solve this inequality, we can start by finding the roots of the quadratic equation \(2x^2+5x-3=0\). We can do this by factoring the quadratic or by using the quadratic formula. Factoring the quadratic, we get: \begin{align*} 2x^2+5x-3&=0\\ (2x-1)(x+3)&=0 \end{align*} So the roots are \(x=\frac{1}{2}\) and \(x=-3\). These are the values of \(x\) that make the left-hand side of the inequality equal to zero. Now, we can use these roots to determine the sign of the expression \(2x^2+5x-3\) for different values of \(x\). We can do this by testing values of \(x\) in the intervals between the roots and outside the roots. For example, if we pick a value of \(x\) less than \(-3\), say \(x=-4\), then we have: \begin{align*} 2x^2+5x-3&=2(-4)^2+5(-4)-3\\ &=32-20-3\\ &=9 \end{align*} Since \(9\) is positive, this means that any value of \(x\) less than \(-3\) makes the expression \(2x^2+5x-3\) positive. Similarly, if we pick a value of \(x\) between \(-3\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\), say \(x=0\), then we have: \begin{align*} 2x^2+5x-3&=2(0)^2+5(0)-3\\ &=-3 \end{align*} Since \(-3\) is negative, this means that any value of \(x\) between \(-3\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) makes the expression \(2x^2+5x-3\) negative. Finally, if we pick a value of \(x\) greater than \(\frac{1}{2}\), say \(x=1\), then we have: \begin{align*} 2x^2+5x-3&=2(1)^2+5(1)-3\\ &=4+5-3\\ &=6 \end{align*} Since \(6\) is positive, this means that any value of \(x\) greater than \(\frac{1}{2}\) makes the expression \(2x^2+5x-3\) positive. Putting all of this together, we can see that the inequality \(2x^2+5x-3\geq 0\) is true when \(x\leq -3\) or \(x\geq \frac{1}{2}\). Therefore, the correct option is: - \(x \leq -3\) or \(x \geq \frac{1}{2}\)
