The radius of a sphere is 3 cm. Find, in terms of π, its volume.
\(30\pi cm^3\)
\(108\pi cm^3\)
\(27\pi cm^3\)
\(36\pi cm^3\)
Correct answer is D
Given that radius = 3cm.
volume of sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\times\pi\times r^3\)
= \(\frac{4}{3}\times\pi\times 3^3\)
= \(\frac{4}{3}\times\pi\times 27\)
= \(4\times\pi\times9\)
= \(36\pi cm^3\)
\(1,106.29cm^2\)
\(1,016.29cm^2\)
\(1,106.89cm^2\)
\(1,206.27cm^2\)
Correct answer is A
radius = 8cm , height = 14cm and \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)
total surface area of a solid cylinder =\( 2πrh+2πr^2\) = 2πr( h + r )
\( 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 8( 8 + 14)\)
\( 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 8 \times 22\)
\(\frac{7744}{7}\)
= \(1,106.29cm^2\)
6.29m
7.67m
7.18m
6.65m
Correct answer is A
%error=5%, measured height = 5.98m
let the actual height = y
error=x - 5.98 (since 'y' is more than 5.98)
%error = \(\frac{error}{actual height}\times 100%\)
5% = \(\frac{y - 5.98}{y}\times 100%\)
\(\frac{5}{100} = \frac{y - 5.98}{y}\)
5y = 100(y - 5.98)
5y = 100y - 598
5y - 100y = - 598
-95y = - 598
y = \(\frac{-598}{-95}\)
y = 6.29m( to 2 d.p).
Find the roots of the equations: \(3m^2 - 2m - 65 = 0\)
\(( -5, \frac{-13}{3})\)
\(( 5, \frac{-13}{3})\)
\(( 5, \frac{13}{3})\)
\(( -5, \frac{13}{3})\)
Correct answer is B
Find the roots of the equations: \(3m^2 - 2m - 65 = 0\)
= \( m^2 - 15m + 13m - 65 = 0\)
= 3m(m - 5) + 13( m - 5) = 0
( m - 5)(3m + 13) = 0
m-5 = 0 or 3m + 13 = 0
therefore, m = 5 or \(\frac{-13}{3}\)
therefore the roots of the quadratic equation = ( 5, \(\frac{-13}{3})\)
If \(log_a 3\) = m and \(log_a 5\) = p, find \(log_a 75\)
\(m^2 + p \)
2m + p
m + 2p
\(m + p^2\)
Correct answer is C
Given: \(log_a 3\) = m and \(log_a 5\) = p
\(log_a 75\) = \(log_a (3 × 25)\)
= \(log_a (3 × 5^2)\)
= \(log_a 3 + log_a 5^2\)
= \(log_a 3 + 2log_a 5\)
Since \(log_a 3\) = m and \(log_a 5\) = p
∴ \(log_a 75\) = m + 2p
Solve \(2^{5x} \div 2^x = \sqrt[5]{2^{10}}\)
\(\frac{3}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{5}{3}\)
Correct answer is B
\(2^{5x} \div 2^x = \sqrt[5]{2^{10}}\)
applying the laws of indices
\(2^{5x - x} = 2^{10(1/5)}\)
\(2^{4x} = 2^{10(1/5)}\)
\(2^{4x} = 2^2\)
Equating the powers
then 4x = 2
therefore, x = \(\frac{2}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
12
15
10
14
Correct answer is D
each interior angle of a polygon = \(\frac{(n - 2)\times 180}{n}\) where n = no of side of a polygon
each exterior angle of a polygon = \(\frac{360}{n}\)
then \(\frac{(n - 2)\times 180}{n}\) = 6\(\times\) \(\frac{360}{n}\)
= (n - 2) 180 = 2160
= 180n - 360 = 2160
= 180n = 2160 + 360
= 180n = 2520
therefore, n = \(\frac{2520}{180}\) = 14.
Evaluate, correct to three decimal place \(\frac{4.314 × 0.000056}{0.0067}\)
0.037
0.004
0.361
0.036
Correct answer is D
\(\frac{4.314 × 0.000056}{0.0067}\)
\(\frac{0.000242}{0.0067}\)
= 0.036 ( to 3 decimal places)
\(2311_5\)
\(1131_5\)
\(1311_5\)
\(2132_5\)
Correct answer is C
\(413_7\) to base 5
convert first to base 10
\(417_7 = 4 × 7^2 + 1 × 7^1 + 3 × 7^0\)
= 4 × 49 + 1 × 7 + 3 × 1
= 196 + 7 + 3
= \(206_{10}\)
convert this result to base 5
5 | 206 |
5 | 41R1 |
5 | 8R1 |
5 | 1R3 |
0R1 |
\(∴ 413_7 = 1311_5\)
For what value of x is \(\frac{ x^2 + 2 }{ 10x^2 - 13x - 3}\) is undefined?
\(\frac{1}{5}, \frac{3}{2}\)
\(\frac{-1}{5}, \frac{3}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}, \frac{-3}{2}\)
\(\frac{-1}{5}, \frac{-3}{2}\)
Correct answer is B
The fraction \(\frac{ x^2 + 2 }{ 10x^2 - 13x - 3}\) is undefined when the denominator is equal to zero
\(then 10x^2 - 13x - 3 = 0\)
by factorisation, \(10x^2 - 13x - 3\) = 0 becomes \( 10x^2 - 15x +2x -3\) = 0
\(5x(2x - 3) + 1(2x - 3) = 0\)
\((5x + 1)(2x - 3) = 0\)
\(then, x = \frac{-1}{5}\) or \(\frac{3}{2}\)
