If 10112 + x7 = 2510, solve for X. A. 207 B. 14 C. 20 D. 24
Show Content
Detailed Solution10112 + x7 = 2510 = 10112 = 1 x 23 + 0 x 22 + 1 x 21 + 1 x 2o= 8 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 1110 x7 = 2510 - 1110 = 1410 \(\begin{array}{c|c} 7 & 14 \\ 7 & 2 R 0 \\ & 0 R 2 \end{array}\) X = 207 |

Evaluate [\(\frac{1}{0.03}\) \(\div\) \(\frac{1}{0.024}\)]-1 correct to 2 decimal places A. 3.76 B. 1.25 C. 0.94 D. 0.75
Show Content
Detailed Solution[\(\frac{1}{0.03}\) + \(\frac{1}{0.024}\)]= [\(\frac{1}{0.03 \times 0.024}\)]-1 = [\(\frac{0.024}{0.003}\)]-1 = \(\frac{0.03}{0.024}\) = \(\frac{30}{24}\) = 1.25 |

If b3 = a-2 and c\(\frac{1}{3}\) = a\(\frac{1}{2}\)b, express c in terms of a A. a-\(\frac{1}{2}\) B. a\(\frac{1}{3}\) C. a\(\frac{3}{2}\) D. a\(\frac{2}{3}\)
Show Content
Detailed Solutionc\(\frac{1}{3}\) = a\(\frac{1}{2}\)b= a\(\frac{1}{2}\)b x a-2 = a-\(\frac{3}{2}\) = (c\(\frac{1}{3}\))3 = (a-\(\frac{3}{2}\))\(\frac{1}{3}\) c = a-\(\frac{1}{2}\) |

Given that log4(Y - 1) + log4(\(\frac{1}{2}\)x) = 1 and log2(y + 1) + log2x = 2, solve for x and y respectively A. 2, 3 B. 3, 2 C. -2, -3 D. -3, -2
Show Content
Detailed Solutionlog4(y - 1) + log4(\(\frac{1}{2}\)x) = 1log4(y - 1)(\(\frac{1}{2}\)x) \(\to\) (y - 1)(\(\frac{1}{2}\)x) = 4 ........(1) log2(y + 1) + log2x = 2 log2(y + 1)x = 2 \(\to\) (y + 1)x = 22 = 4.....(ii) From equation (ii) x = \(\frac{4}{y + 1}\)........(iii) put equation (iii) in (i) = y (y - 1)[\(\frac{1}{2}(\frac{4}{y - 1}\))] = 4 = 2y - 2 = 4y + 4 2y = -6 y = -3 x = \(\frac{ |

Find the value of k if \(\frac{k}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}\) = k\(\sqrt{3 - 2}\) A. 3 B. 2 C. \(\sqrt{3}\) D. \(\sqrt 2\)
Show Content
Detailed Solution\(\frac{k}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}\) = k\(\sqrt{3 - 2}\)\(\frac{k}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}\) x \(\frac{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}\) = k\(\sqrt{3 - 2}\) = k(\(\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}\)) = k\(\sqrt{3 - 2}\) = k\(\sqrt{3}\) - k\(\sqrt{2}\) = k\(\sqrt{3 - 2}\) k2 = \(\sqrt{2}\) k = \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\) = \(\sqrt{2}\) |

A man is paid r naira per hour for normal work and double rate for overtime. if he does a 35-hour week which includes q hours of overtime, what is his weekly earning in naira? A. r(35 + q) B. q(35r - q) C. q(35 + r) D. r(35 + 2q)
Show Content
Detailed SolutionThe cost of normal work = 35rThe cost of overtime = q x 2r = 2qr The man's total weekly earning = 35r + 2qr = r(35 + 2q) |

When the expression pm2 + qm + 1 is divided by (m - 1), it has a remainder is 4, Find p and q respectively A. 2, -1 B. -1, 2 C. 3, -2 D. -2, 3
Show Content
Detailed Solutionpm2 + qm + 1 = (m - 1) Q(x) + 2p(1)2 + q(1) + 1 = 2 p + q + 1 = 2 p + q = 1.....(i) pm2 + qm + 1 = (m - 1)Q(x) + 4 p(-1)2 + q(-1) + 1 = 4 p - q + 1 = 4 p - q = 3....(ii) p + q = 1, p - q = -3 2p = -2, p = -1 -1 + q = 1 q = 2 |
