Awọn alaye Idahun

To calculate the angle of the sector with proportion 7, we first need to find the total of all the quantities in the proportion. Total quantity = 1 + 4 + 6 + 7 = 18 Next, we need to find the proportion of quantity 7 in relation to the total quantity. Proportion of quantity 7 = 7/18 To find the angle of the sector that represents this proportion, we need to use the formula: Angle of sector = Proportion of quantity * 360 degrees Angle of sector = (7/18) * 360 degrees Angle of sector = 140 degrees Therefore, the answer is option D, which is 140 degrees.

Let the age of the teacher be T. According to the problem, the mean age of the 10 pupils is 16. Therefore, the sum of their ages is 10 x 16 = 160. When the teacher's age is added to it, the sum becomes 160 + T. Also, it is given that the new mean age after adding the teacher's age is 19. So, we have: (160 + T) / 11 = 19 Multiplying both sides by 11, we get: 160 + T = 209 Subtracting 160 from both sides, we get: T = 49 Therefore, the age of the teacher is 49.

To evaluate the given expression to 3 significant figures, we need to round the result to the nearest third digit after the decimal point. To do this, we can perform the division and then round the result. The expression is: 3524 / 0.05 = 70,480 To round this to 3 significant figures, we need to consider the digits up to the third digit after the decimal point, which is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, we round down the previous digit, which is 8. Therefore, the final answer is: 70,500 So, is the correct answer.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The given equation is 2log3 y + log3 x2 = 4. We can simplify this equation using the laws of logarithms. First, we can use the power rule of logarithms to rewrite x2 as (x)2. Then, we can use the product rule of logarithms to combine the two logarithms on the left-hand side of the equation: 2log3 y + log3 (x)2 = log3 y2 + log3 (x)2 Now, we can use the sum rule of logarithms to combine the two logarithms on the right-hand side of the equation: log3 y2(x)2 = log3 (x2y2) We can now rewrite the original equation as: log3 (x2y2) = 4 Using the definition of logarithms, we know that log3 (x2y2) = 4 is equivalent to 3^4 = x2y2. Therefore, we have: x2y2 = 81 Taking the square root of both sides, we get: xy = ±9 Since y is a positive real number, we can discard the negative solution. Therefore, we have: xy = 9 Finally, we can solve for y: y = 9/x So, the answer is "±9/x".

To solve this problem, we need to first determine the set of possible numbers that could be selected at random between 20 and 30. Since the problem states that both 20 and 30 are inclusive, the set of possible numbers is: {20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30} To find the probability that the selected number is prime, we need to determine the number of prime numbers in the set of possible numbers, and then divide that by the total number of possible numbers. Prime numbers are numbers that are only divisible by 1 and themselves. The prime numbers in the set of possible numbers are: { 23, 29 } Therefore, the probability that the selected number is prime is 2/11 or approximately 0.18.

To find the area of a sector, we use the formula: Area of sector = (θ/360) x πr² Where θ is the angle of the sector in degrees, r is the radius of the circle, and π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14. In this problem, the radius is given as 3m and the angle of the sector is 60°. Substituting these values into the formula, we get: Area of sector = (60/360) x π(3)² = (1/6) x π(9) = (1/6) x 28.27 = 4.71m² (rounded to two decimal places) Therefore, the area of the sector of the circle with radius 3m and angle 60° is approximately 4.71m².

To solve this problem, we use the formula for simple interest: I = P*r*t Where: I = Interest earned P = Principal amount r = Rate of interest per year (as a decimal) t = Time period in years In this case, we are given: P = ₦225.00 (the principal amount) I = ₦27.00 (the interest earned) r = 4% = 0.04 (the rate of interest per year) Substituting these values into the formula, we get: 27 = 225 * 0.04 * t Simplifying the equation, we have: 27 = 9t Dividing both sides by 9, we get: t = 3 Therefore, the answer is 3 years. Explanation: The interest earned on the principal amount of ₦225.00 is ₦27.00. This means that for every year, the interest earned is 27/225 = 0.12 or 12% of the principal amount. We know that the rate of interest per year is 4%, which is much lower than the interest earned per year of 12%. This means that it will take more than 1 year for the interest earned to reach the rate of interest. In fact, it takes 3 years for the interest earned to reach the rate of interest of 4%, which is why the answer is 3.

Awọn alaye Idahun

We know that sin x = cos 50°. To solve for x, we need to find the angle whose sine is equal to cos 50°. We can use the trigonometric identity that sin (90° - θ) = cos θ. So, sin x = cos 50° can be rewritten as sin x = sin (90° - 50°). Using the identity, we have: sin x = sin 40° Now, we need to find the angle x whose sine is equal to sin 40°. Since sine is a periodic function, there are multiple angles whose sine is equal to a given value. One such angle is x = 40°. However, sine is also negative in the third and fourth quadrants. In the third quadrant, x = 180° - 40° = 140° and in the fourth quadrant, x = 360° - 40° = 320° also satisfy the equation sin x = sin 40°. However, since x has to be between 0° and 360°, we can eliminate the30°. Therefore, the possible values of x are 40°, 140°, and 320°. However, since we know that sin x = cos 50° and cos is positive in the first quadrant, x cannot be in the third or fourth quadrants. Therefore, the only possible value of x is x = 40°. Hence, the answer is x = 40°.

(7-10)^2 = 9 (8-10)^2 = 4 (9-10)^2 = 1 (10-10)^2 = 0 (11-10)^2 = 1 (12-10)^2 = 4 (13-10)^2 = 9 Then, we add up all of these squared differences and divide by the total number of data points. (9 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 9) / 7 = 28 / 7 = 4 Finally, we take the square root of this result to find the standard deviation. Standard deviation = √4 = 2 Therefore, the standard deviation of the given data is 2.

To make x the subject of the given relation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. First, we can simplify the expression by finding the common denominator of the two fractions in the numerator: (1 + ax)/(1 - ax) = (1 - ax + ax + a^2x)/(1 - ax) = (1 + a^2x)/(1 - ax) Now we can cross-multiply to get rid of the denominator: (1 + a^2x) = pq - axpq Next, we can move the term with x to the left-hand side of the equation: a^2x + axpq = pq - 1 Finally, we can factor out x from the two terms on the left-hand side: x(a^2 + apq) = pq - 1 Therefore, we can isolate x by dividing both sides by (a^2 + apq): x = (pq - 1)/(a^2 + apq) So the correct option is: p-q / a(p+q) which is not among the given options.

A rectangular polygon has each interior angle to be 150o
let the polygon has n-sides
therefore, Total interior angle 150 x n = 150n
hence 150n = (2n - 4)90
150n = 180n - 360
360 = (180 - 150)n
30n = 360

To convert the number 71 to base 8, we need to divide it repeatedly by 8 and note down the remainders until the quotient becomes 0. The remainders in reverse order will give us the equivalent number in base 8. Here's how we can do it: - 71 ÷ 8 = 8 remainder 7 - 8 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 0 - 1 ÷ 8 = 0 remainder 1 So, the equivalent number in base 8 is 107. Therefore, the correct answer is option A: 1078.
