If P = n2+1:n=0,2,3 and Q = n+1:n=2,3,5, find P Q.

A.

{5, 10}

B.

{4, 6}

C.

{1, 3}

D.

{ }

Correct answer is D

P=n2+1:n=0,2,3

Q = {n + 1: n = 2,3,5} \therefore Q = {3, 4, 6}

P \cap Q = { }

Given that f(x) = 2x^{2} - 3 and g(x) = x + 1 where x \in R. Find g o f(x).

A.

2(x^{2} - 1)

B.

2x^{2} + 4x - 1

C.

2x^{2} + 6x - 1

D.

3(x^{2} - 1)

Correct answer is A

f(x) = 2x^{2} - 3; g(x) = x + 1

g o f(x) = g (2x^{2} - 3)

= 2x^{2} - 3 + 1 = 2x^{2} - 2 = 2(x^{2} - 1)

The velocity, V, of a particle after t seconds, is V = 3t^{2} + 2t - 1. Find the acceleration of the particle after 2 seconds.

A.

10ms^{-2}

B.

12ms^{-2}

C.

14ms^{-2}

D.

17ms^{-2}

Correct answer is C

accl = \frac{\mathrm d V}{\mathrm d t}

V = 3t^{2} + 2t - 1 \therefore a = \frac{\mathrm d V}{\mathrm d t} = 6t + 2

a \text{(after 2 seconds)} = (6\times 2) + 2 = 12+2 = 14ms^{-2}

Find the magnitude and direction of the vector p = (5i - 12j)

A.

(13, 113.38°)

B.

(13, 067.38°)

C.

(13, 025.38°)

D.

(13, 157.38°)

Correct answer is D

p = (5i - 12j); |p| = \sqrt{5^{2} + (-12)^{2}}

= \sqrt{169} = 13

\tan\theta = \frac{-12}{5} = -2.4 \implies \theta = -67.38°

Direction = 90° - (-67.38°) = 157.38°

Solve 3^{2x} - 3^{x+2} = 3^{x+1} - 27

A.

1 or 0

B.

1 or 2

C.

1 or -2

D.

-1 or 2

Correct answer is B

3^{2x} - 3^{x+2} = 3^{x+1} - 27

= (3^{x})^{2} - (3^{x}).(3^{2}) = (3^{x}).(3^{1}) - 27

Let 3^{x} be B; we have

= B^{2} - 9B - 3B + 27 = B^{2} - 12B + 27 = 0.

Solving the equation, we have B = 3 or 9.

3^{x} = 3 or 3^{x} = 9

3^{x} = 3^{1} or 3^{x} = 3^{2}

Equating, we have x = 1 or 2.
