Find the probability that a number selected at random from 21 to 34 is a multiple of 3

A.

311

B.

29

C.

514

D.

513

Correct answer is C

S = {21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34}

n(S) = 14

multiples of 3 = {21, 24, 27, 30, 33}

n(multiples of 3) = 5

Prob( picking a multiple of 3) = 5/14

Integrate (4x37x2+5x6)dx.

A.

2x273x3+52x26x

B.

2x2+73x35x+6

C.

12x2+14x5

D.

12x414x+5

Correct answer is A

(4x37x2+5x6)dx

= 4x3+13+17x2+12+1+5x1+11+16x

= 2x273x3+52x26x

If M varies directly as N and inversely as the root of P. Given that M = 3, N = 5 and P = 25. Find the value of P when M = 2 and N = 6.

A.

36

B.

63

C.

47

D.

81

Correct answer is D

MN ; M1P.

M = \frac{k N}{\sqrt{P}}

when M = 3, N = 5 and P = 25;

3 = \frac{5k}{\sqrt{25}}

k = 3

M = \frac{3N}{\sqrt{P}}

when M = 2 and N = 6,

2 = \frac{3(6)}{\sqrt{P}} \implies \sqrt{P} = \frac{18}{2}

\sqrt{P} = 9 \implies P = 9^2

P = 81
