Test your knowledge of advanced level mathematics with this aptitude test. This test comprises Further Maths questions and answers from past JAMB and WAEC examinations.
If →OX=(−76) and →OY=(16−11), find →YX.
(9−5)
(−23−5)
(917)
(−2317)
Correct answer is D
→OY≡−→YO
Also, →YO+→OX=→YX
∴
\overrightarrow{YX} = \begin{pmatrix} -16 \\ 11 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -7 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}
= \begin{pmatrix} -23 \\ 17 \end{pmatrix}
Given that a = i - 3j and b = -2i + 5j and c = 3i - j, calculate |a - b + c|.
\sqrt{13}
3\sqrt{13}
6\sqrt{13}
9\sqrt{13}
Correct answer is B
Given a = i - 3j; b = -2i + 5j; c = 3i - j
a- b + c = (1 - (-2) + 3)i + (-3 - 5 + (-1))j = 6i - 9j
|a - b + c| = \sqrt{6^{2} + (-9)^{2}} = \sqrt{36 + 81} = \sqrt{117}
= \sqrt{9 \times 13} = 3\sqrt{13}

0.7
Correct answer is C
Maths (x) | Rank r_{x} | Physics (y) | Rank r_{y} | d = |r_{x} - r_{y}| | d^{2} |
3 | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
4 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
2 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 | 1 |

\rho = 1 - \frac{6\sum{d^{2}}}{n(n^{2} - 1)}
1 - \frac{6 \times 4}{4(4^{2} - 1)} = 1 - \frac{24}{60}
= 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
