Evaluate 1 - (\(\frac{1}{5}\) x \(\frac{2}{3}\)) + ( 5 + \(\frac{2}{3}\))
4
3
2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{98}{15}\)
Correct answer is D
No explanation has been provided for this answer.
24oC
20oC
34oC
30oC
Correct answer is A
t ∝ h, t = 20, h
t = ? h = 60
t = kh where k is constant
20 = 50k
k = \(\frac{20}{50}\)
k = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
when h = 60, t = ?
t = \(\frac{2}{5}\) × 60
t = 24oC
If y = x Sin x, find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) when x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
\(\frac{- \pi}{2}\)
-1
1
\(\frac{ \pi}{2}\)
Correct answer is C
y = xsinx
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(1 \sin x + x \cos x\)
= \(\sin x + x \cos x\)
At x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
= sin\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) + \(\frac{\pi}{2} \cos {\frac{\pi}{2}}\)
= 1 + \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) × 0
= 1
Evaluate (\(\sin\)45º + \(\sin\)30º ) in surd form
\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}}\)
√3 − \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)√2
1 + \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\)
Correct answer is D
hypotenuse
sin = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\sin45 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
= \(\frac{2}{2}\)
∴ (sin45 + sin30)
= \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{1 + \sqrt{2}}{2}\)
If two graphs Y = px2 + q and y = 2x2 − 1 intersect at x =2, find the value of p in terms of q
q − \(\frac{8}{7}\)
7 − \(\frac{q}{4}\)
8 − \(\frac{q}{2}\)
7 + \(\frac{q}{8}\)
Correct answer is B
Y = Px2 + q
Y = 2x2 - 1
Px2 + q = 2x2 - 1
Px2 = 2x2 - 1 - q
p = \(\frac{2x^2 - 1 - q}{x^2}\)
at x = 2
P = \(\frac{2(2)^2 - 1 - q}{2^2}\)
= \(\frac{2(4) - 1 -q}{4}\)
= \(\frac{8 - 1 - q}{4}\)
P = \(\frac{7 - q}{4}\)
