186.

If P = (2341), Q = (68) and PQ = k (4520). Find the value of k.

A.

-54

B.

-45

C.

45

D.

54

Correct answer is C

PQ = (2341) = (68)(3616)

(3616) = k = (4520)

k = 3645 

= 45

Calculate the distance between points (-2, -5) and (-1, 3) 

A.

5 units

B.

17 units

C.

65 units

D.

73 units

Correct answer is C

distance = (3(5)2+(1(2)2)

= 82+12

= 65 units

188.

Find the value of x for which 64x2+1 = 13x, where x > 0

A.

65

B.

2524

C.

2425

D.

56

Correct answer is A

4x2+1 = 13x6

4x2 + 1 = 169x236

4 + x2  = 169x236 

cross multiply

169x2 - 144x2 = 36

25x2 = 36

x2 = 3625

: x = ±65

Find the sum of the first 20 terms of the sequence -7-3, 1, ......

A.

620

B.

660

C.

690

D.

1240

Correct answer is A

d = -3 - (-7) = 4

S20 = 202{2(-7) + (20 - 1) 4}

= 10(- 14 + 76)

= 620

190.

Given that 1x24=p(x+2)+Q(x2)

x ±2

Find the value of (P + Q)

A.

32

B.

1

C.

12

D.

0

Correct answer is D

1x24=P(x+2)+Q(x2)

I = p(x - 2) + Q(x + 2)

Let x = 2

I = P(2 - 2) + Q(2+ 2)

I = -4Q 

Q = 14 

Let x = -2

I = P(-2  - 2) + Q(-2 + 2)

I = -4p 

P = 14 

PQQ = - 14+14

= 0
