# Question Ans
41.

Use the graph of the curve y = f(x)to solve the inequality f(x) \(\leq\) 0

A. -1 \(\geq\) x \(\geq\) 1, x \(\geq\) 2

B. x \(\leq\) -1, 1 \(\geq\) x \(\geq\) 2

C. x \(\geq\) -1, 1 \(\geq\) x \(\geq\) 2

D. x \(\geq\) 2, -1 \(\geq\) x \(\geq\) 1

Detailed Solution

-1 \(\geq\) x \(\geq\) 1, 1 < x \(\geq\) 2

Combining solutions

= x \(\leq\) 1; 1 \(\geq\) x \(\geq\) 2
42.

Determine the value of x in the figure

A. 134o

B. 81o

C. 53o

D. 46o

Detailed Solution

Within the triangle,
180° - (81° + 53°) = 46°
In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of two opposite angles = 180°
\(\therefore\) x = 180° - 46° = 134°
43.

PT is a tangent to the circle TYZX. YT = YX and < PTX = 50o. Calculate < TZY

A. 50o

B. 65o

C. 85o

D. 130o

Detailed Solution

XTY = 50o = TXY = \(\frac{130^o}{2}\)

= 65o
44.

In the diagram, the base diameter is 14cm while the height is 12cm. Calculate the total surface area if the cylinder has both a base and a top.[\(\pi \frac{22}{7}\)]

A. 836cm2

B. 308cm2

C. 528cm2

D. 154cm2

Detailed Solution

Area(S) = 2\(\pi r^2 + 2 \pi rh = 2\pi r(h + r)\)

D = 14cm, 2r = D

r = \(\frac{D}{2}\)

= 7cm

S = 2 x \(\frac{22}{7} \times [7 + 12] = 44 \times 19\)

= 836cm2
45.

In the diagram, find PQ if the area of triangle PQR is 35cm\(^2\)

A. 7cm

B. 10cm

C. 14cm

D. 17cm

Detailed Solution

PQ x 10 sin 30 = 35

PQ = \(\frac{35}{10 \sin 30}\)

= 7cm
46.

The mean and the range of the set of numbers 1, 20, 1.00, 0.90, 1.40, 0.80, 1.20 and 1.10 are me and r

A. 1.11

B. 1.65

C. 1.85

D. 2.45

Detailed Solution

m = 1.05, r = 0.6

m + r = 1.05 + 0.5

= 1.65
