Solve for x in the equation; \(\frac{3}{5}\)(2x - 1) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)(5x - 3) A. zero B. 1 C. 2 D. 3
Show Content
Detailed Solution\(\frac{3}{5}\)(2x - 1) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)(5x - 3)\(\frac{6x}{5} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{5x}{4} - \frac{3}{4}\) \(\frac{6x}{5} - \frac{5x}{4} = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{3}{4}\) \(\frac{24x - 25x}{20} = \frac{12 - 15}{20}\) \(\frac{-x}{20} = \frac{-3}{20}\) -20x = -60 x = \(\frac{-60}{-20}\) x = 3 |

Given that cos xo = \(\frac{1}{r}\), express tan x in terms of r A. \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}\) B. \(\sqrt{r}\) C. \(\sqrt{r^2 + 1}\) D. \(\sqrt{r^2 - 1}\)
Show Content
Detailed Solutioncos xo = \(\frac{1}{r}\); \(\sqrt{r^2 - 1}\)By Pythagoras r2 = 12 + x2 - 1 x = \(\sqrt{r^2 - 1}\) tan xo = \(\sqrt{r^2 - 1}\) = \(\sqrt{r^2 - 1}\) |

Solve the equation; 3x - 2y = 7, x + 2y = -3 A. x = 1, y = -2 B. x = 1, y = 3 C. x = -2, y = -1 D. x = 4, y = -3
Show Content
Detailed Solution3x - 2y = 7; Solve by elimination methodx + 2y = -3 3x - 2y = 7.....(i) -3x + 6y = -9.....(ii) -8y = 16 y = \(\frac{16}{-8} = -2\) Put y = -2 into equation (i); 3x - 2y = 7 3x - 2(-2) = 7 3x + 4 = 7 3x = 7 - 4 3x = 3 x = \(\frac{3}{3}\) = 1 |

A cylindrical container has a base radius of 14cm and height 18cm. How many litres of liquid can it hold? correct to the nearest litre [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)] A. 11 B. 14 C. 16 D. 18
Show Content
Detailed SolutionVolume of cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h\)= \(\frac{22}{7} \times 14^2\) x 14 x 18 = 22 x 28 x 18 = 11088cm3 1000cm3 = \(\frac{1}{1000}\) x 11088cm3 = 11.088 = 11 |

A regular polygon of n sides has each exterior angle to 45o. Find the value of n A. 6 B. 8 C. 12 D. 15
Show Content
Detailed SolutionEach interior angle = \(\frac{360^o}{n}\)45o = \(\frac{360^o}{n}\) 45on = 360o n = \(\frac{360^o}{45}\) = 8 |

Esther was facing S 20° W. She turned 90° in the clock wise direction. What direction is she facing? A. N 70o W B. S 70o W C. N 20o W D. S 20o E
Show Content
Detailed SolutionThe bearing S 20° W is equivalent to a bearing of 200°.Moving clockwise 90° ⇒ 200° + 90° = 290° This is equivalent to N 70° W. |

The cross section section of a uniform prism is a right-angled triangle with sides 3cm. 4cm and 5cm. If its length is 10cm. Calculate the total surface area A. 142cm2 B. 132cm2 C. 122cm2 D. 112cm2
Show Content
Detailed SolutionA prism has 3 rectangular faces and 2 triangular faces and 2 rectangular faces = 10(3 + 4 + 5) = 120Area of triangular faces = \(\sqrt{s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)}\) where s = \(\frac{a + b + c}{2}\) = \(\frac{3 + 4 + 5}{2}\) = \(\frac{12}{2}\) = 6 Area of \(\bigtriangleup\) = \(\sqrt{6(6 - 30(6 - 4)(6 - 5)}\) = \(\sqrt{6 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}\) = 6 Area of triangle faces = 2 x 6 = 12cm2 Total surface area = Area of rectangular face + Area of \(\bigtriangleup\) = 120 + 12 = 132cm2 & |
