296.

Given that AB=5i+3j and AC=2i+5j, find BC

A.

-7i - 8j

B.

-3i + 2j

C.

3i - 2j

D.

3i + 8j

Correct answer is B

BC=BA+AC

BA=AB=(5i+3j)

= 5i3j

BC=(5i3j)+(2i+5j)

= 3i+2j

297.

If events A and B are independent and P(A)=712 and P(AB)=14, find P(B).

A.

37

B.

47

C.

57

D.

67

Correct answer is A

P(A)=712

P(AB)=14=P(A)×P(B) (Independent events)

14÷712=14×127

= 37

298.

If |4x53|=32, find the value of x.

A.

4

B.

2

C.

-2

D.

-4

Correct answer is D

|4x53|=125x=32

5x=1232=20

x=4

Express \frac{1}{1 - \sin 45°} in surd form. 

A.

2 + \sqrt{2}

B.

2 + \sqrt{3}

C.

2 - \sqrt{2}

D.

1 + 2\sqrt{2}

Correct answer is A

\sin 45 = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

\frac{1}{1 - \sin 45} = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}

\frac{2}{2 - \sqrt{2}} = \frac{4 + 2\sqrt{2}}{4 - 2}

= 2 + \sqrt{2}

Given that f '(x) = 3x^{2} - 6x + 1 and f(3) = 5, find f(x).

A.

f(x) = x^{3} - 3x^{2} + x + 20

B.

f(x) = x^{3} - 3x^{2} + x + 31

C.

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

D.

f(x) = x^{3} - 3x^{2} + x - 13

Correct answer is C

f ' (x) = 3x^{2} - 6x + 1

f(x) = \int (3x^{2} - 6x + 1) \mathrm {d} x

= x^{3} - 3x^{2} + x + c

f(3) = 5 = 3^{3} - 3(3^{2}) + 3 + c

27 - 27 + 3 + c = 5 \implies 3 + c = 5

c = 2

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