856.

From the cyclic quadrilateral above, find < TSV

A.

60o

B.

80o

C.

70o

D.

50o

Correct answer is B

< TVS = 180o - (80 + 20)
= 180 - 100 = 80o

857.

If Q is a factor of 18 and T is prime numbers between 2 and 18. What is Q\(\cap\)T?

A.

(2,3)

B.

(2,3,18)

C.

(2,3,9)

D.

(2,3,6)

Correct answer is A

Q = {1,2,3,6,9,18}, T = {2,3,5,7,11,13,17}
Q\(\cap\)T = {2,3}

Solve for x and y respectively
3x - 5y = 9
6x - 4y = 12

A.

\(\frac{3}{4}\), 1

B.

\(\frac{4}{3}\), 1

C.

\(\frac{3}{4}\), -1

D.

\(\frac{4}{3}\), -1

Correct answer is D

3x - 5y = 9 ------x2
6x - 4y = 12 -----x1
6x - 10y = 18
-6x - 4y = 12
____________
\(\frac{6y}{-6}\) = \(\frac{6}{6}\)

y = -1
in eq (1) 3x - 5y = 9
3x - 5(-1) = 9
3x + 5 = 9
3x = 4
x = \(\frac{4}{3}\)

859.

If N = \(\frac{p}{2}\)(\(\frac{T_1 - T_2}{T_1}\)). Find P when N = 12, T1 = 27 and T2 = 24.

A.

48

B.

108

C.

54

D.

216

Correct answer is D

N = \(\frac{p}{2}\)(\(\frac{T_1 - T_2}{T_1}\))
12 = \(\frac{p}{2}\)(\(\frac{27 - 24}{27}\))
24 = P(\(frac{3}{27}\)
P = 24 x 9 = 216

Evaluate \(\int\)(sinx - 5x2)dx

A.

-cosx - 10x + k

B.

cosx - \(\frac{5x^3}{3}\) + k

C.

-cosx - \(\frac{5x^3}{3}\) + k

D.

cosx - 10x + k

Correct answer is C

\(\int\)(sin x - 5x^2) = -cosx - \(\frac{5x^3}{3}\) + k
