EARTH AS SPHERE 1


Change 700 nautical miles into kilometers.

Solution

1 nautical mile= 1.852 km
700 nautical mile= ?

 = 1.852 x 700
          1

=1296.4

=1296.4 to 1 d.p

Hence 700 nautical miles= 1296km.

PROBABILITY 1


A bag contains 4 red balls and 6 blue balls. Two balls are taken from the bag. What is the probability that they are both red?

Solution

(This is a problem with replacement)

n(R) = 4, n(B) = 6, n(S) = 10

P(R) = n(R)
            n(S)

P(R) = 4
          10

1st pick = 4/10
2nd pick = 4/10 as well.


P(RR) =  4      x    4
             10           10

P(RR) =   16 /100 = 4/25       

Therefore Probability of drawing a red ball is 4/25

SEQUENCE&SERIES 1


The 1st term of arithmetic progression is 63 and the common difference is 40. Find the nth term

solution

A1=63, d= 40, n=?

An =A1 + (n-1) d

An=63 + (n-1)40 

An=63 + 40n -40

An=40n + 63-40

An=40n + 23

Evaluate Log1,000,000,000 +  log 0.01 + log3243

Solution

= Log1,000,000,000 +  log 0.01 + log3243

= Log109 +  log 10-2 + log33-5

= 9Log10 +  (-2log 10) + (-5log33)

= (9x1) + (-2x1) + (-5x1)

= 9 + (-2) + (-5)

= 2

Hence Log1,000,000,000 +  log 0.01 + log3243 = 2

= (6a)2 - 11a2    

= 62.a2 - 11a2               Since (mn)2 =m2 . n2

= 36a2 - 11a2   {since the square number of 6 is 36}

= 25a2

WORD PROBLEMS 1


The sum of four consecutive numbers is 1358. Find the 3rd number.

Solution

Let the numbers be as shown in the table below

1st number
2nd number
3rd number
4th number
TOTAL
n
n+1
n+2
n+3
1358

Then, n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = 1358

4n + 1+2+3= 1358

4n + 6 = 1358

4n = 1358 – 6

4n = 1352 

4n = 1352
 4        4

n = 338

3rd number = n +2

                   = 338 + 2

                   = 340

Hence the 3rd number is 340

=log4 + log100,000

=log22 + log105

=2log2 + 5log10

=2(0.3010) + (5 x 1)

FACTORIZE 1


Factorize 625x- 169y2

Solution

we use difference of two squares a2 – b2 = (a - b)(a + b)

625x2- 169y2  = 252x2 - 132y2

                   = (25x)2 - (13y)2

                   = (25x - 13y)(25x + 13y)

Hence 625x2 - 169y2 = (25x - 13y)(25x + 13y)

If 52w (40w) = 10w-40 ; Find w.

Solution

(52)w (40w) = 10w-40

(25)w (40w) = 10w-40

(25 x 40)w = 10w-40

(1000)w = 10w-40

(103)w = 10w-40

103w = 10w-40  (Bases are alike, so they cancel out)

STANDARD FORM 1



Evaluate the following giving your answer in standard form.
982.7 x 10-9
   5 x 10-30

Solution

=  982.7 x 10-9
       5 x 10-30

=  982.7  x   10-9
       5         10-30

=  196.54 x 10-9 –(-30)

=  196.54 x 10-9 + 30    

=  196.54 x 1021      then we change 196.54 into standard form as well

= 1.9654 x 102 x 1021   [when we have exponents with same base, we add the powers.]
 
= 1.9654 x 1023

= 1.97 x 1023 [correct to 2 d.p.]

Hence   982.7 x 10-9   = 1.97 x 1023

A line passes through (2a, 7) and (3,5a). If its slope is 10, find a.

Solution

x1=2a, y1 = 7, x2 = 3, y2 = 5a

Slope(m) =    y2 – y1
                     x2 – x1

               10 =  5a – 7
                        3 – 2a

               10 =    5a – 7     [cross multiplying]
               1         3 – 2a

10(3 – 2a) = 5a – 7

30 – 20a = 5a – 7

PERCENT PROFIT 1


A man got a profit of 1500/= after selling an item. Find the buying price if the percentage profit was 10%.

Solution

%’ge profit = Profit   X  100    where B. P. represents Buying Price.
                         B.P

10% = 1500   X  100   
            B.P.

10% = 150000   
               B.P.


B.P. x 10% = 150000   x B.P.
                       B.P.


B.P. x 10 = 150,000   

        
B.P. x 101 =   150000    [dividing by 10 both sides]
  110                   10

B.P. = 15,000
