In a school of 150 students, 80 offer French while 60 offer Arabic and 20 offer neither. How many students offer both subjects?

A.

45

B.

10

C.

35

D.

30

Correct answer is B

80 - x + x + 60 - x + 20 = 150 160 - x = 150 x = 160 - 150 = 10

Find the derivative of y = ( \(\frac{1}{3}\)X + 6)\(^2\)

A.

2( \(\frac{1}{3}\)X + 6

B.

\(\frac{2}{3}\) ( \(\frac{1}{3}\)X + 6)

C.

\(\frac{2}{3}\) ( \(\frac{1}{3}\)X + 6)2

D.

\(\frac{1}{3}\) ( \(\frac{1}{3}\)X + 6)2

Correct answer is B

Y = ( \(\frac{1}{3}\)X + 6)\(^2\)

\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 2( \(\frac{1}{3}\)X + 6) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

= \(\frac{2}{3}\) ( \(\frac{1}{3}\)X + 6)

If the mean of 4, y, 8 and 10 is 7. Find Y?

A.

6

B.

10

C.

7

D.

9

Correct answer is A

\(\frac{4 + y + 8 + 10}{4}\) = 7

22 + y = 4 x 7
22 + y = 28
y = 28 - 22 = 6

Integrate \(\frac{2x^3 + 2x}{x}\) with respect to x

A.

\(\frac{2x^3}{3}\) - 2x + k

B.

x3 + 2x + k

C.

\(\frac{2x^3}{3}\) + 2x + k

D.

x3 - 2x + k

Correct answer is C

\(\int\) \(\frac{2x^3 + 2x}{x}\) = \(\int\) \(\frac{2x^3}{x}\) + \(\frac{2x}{x}\) = \(\int\) (2x2 + 2) dx

\(\frac{2x^2+1}{2 + 1}\) + 2x + k

= \(\frac{2x^3}{3}\)+ 2x + k

Factorize \( a^2 − b^2 − 4a + 4 \)

A.

(a + b)(a − b)

B.

(a − 2 + b)(a - 2- b)

C.

(a + 1)(a − 2 + b)

D.

(a + b) 2

Correct answer is B

The trinomial = \( a^2 − 4a + 4 \\

a^2 − b^2− 4a + 4 = (a^2 − 4a + 4) − b^2 \\

(a^2 − 2a − 2a + 4) − b^2 \\

a(a − 2)− 2(a − 2)] − b^2 \\

(a − 2)2 − b^2 \\

(a − 2 + b)(a − 2 − b )\)
