In the figure above, PQRS is a circle with ST//RQ. Find the value of x PT = PS.

A.

70o

B.

55o

C.

40o

D.

35o

Correct answer is B

PQRS is a cyclic quad
^P = 180 - 110 (opp ∠s of a cyclic quad)
^P = 70
In ΔPTS, ^S = ^T (base ∠s of Isc Δ)
∴^T = (180-70) / 2
= 110/2
= 55o
But ^T x(corr ∠)
∴x =55

Evaluate 5-3log52 x 22log23

A.

8

B.

11/8

C.

2/5

D.

1/8

Correct answer is B

5-3log52 x 22log23
i Let -3log52 = p => log52-3 = p
∴2-3 = 5p
∴5-3log52 = 5log52-3 = 5p
ii 22log23 = q => log532 = q
∴32 = 2q
∴222log23 = 2q
= 32 = 9
i x ii = 2-3 x 9 = 1/23 x 9
= 1/8 x 9
= 9/8 = 11/8
