71.

If x2+y2+2x6y+5=0, evaluate dy/dx when x=3 and y=2.

A.

2

B.

-2

C.

-4

D.

4

Correct answer is A

x2+y2+2x6y+5=0

When differentiated:

x2+y2+2x6y+5=0 → 2x + 2y - 2 - 6 = 0

where x=3 and y=2

2[3] + 2[2] - 8 = 0

6 + 4 - 8 = 2

72.

Given that 8x+mx23x45x+1+3x4

A.

23

B.

17

C.

-17

D.

18

Correct answer is C

8x+mx23x45x+1+3x4

8x+mx23x45(x1)+3(x+4)x23x4

multiplying both sides by x2-3x-4
8x+m ≡ 5(x-4)+3(x+1)
8x + m ≡ 5x - 20 + 3x + 3
8x - 5x - 3x + m = -20 + 3
m = -17

73.

Differentiate 5x3+x2x, x ≠ 0 with respect to x.

A.

10x + 1

B.

10x + 2

C.

x(15x + 1)

D.

x(15x + 2)

Correct answer is A

5x3+x2x → 5x3x+x2x

5x2 + x 

Then dy/dx = 10x + 1

 

74.

If 36, p,94 and q are consecutive terms of an exponential sequence (G.P), find the sum of p and q.

A.

9/16

B.

81/16

C.

9

D.

9 916

Correct answer is D

GP : 36, P, q4, q, ... p + q = ?

Recall, common ratio, r = Tn
Tn-1
= T2
T1
= T3
T2
= T4
T3


 

P
36
= 9
4
÷ p ;       p2 = 9
4
x 36 ;     p2 = 81  


 

p = 9         ∴      r = T2
T1
    =   9
36
    =  1
4


 

Also r  = T4
T3
   = q ÷ 9
4



14 = q ÷ 94 ;

94 = 4q

16q = 9 ,   q = 9
16
   ∴  p + q  =  9 + 9
16
 =  9 9
16

75.

Evaluate 01 (x + 1)(x - 2) dx

A.

7/6

B.

5/6

C.

-5/6

D.

-7/6

Correct answer is D

01 (x + 1)(x - 2) dx

= 01 x2x2 dx

Integrated x2x2 = x33x222
