VARIATIONS D1

 

x is inversely proportional to y. x=22 while y=5. Find y when x is 10.

 

Solution

 

x k

      y

 

x = k

      y

 

22 = k

        5

 

k = 22 x 5

 

k = 110

 

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

k = 110, y= ?, x = 10.

 

x = k

      y

 

10  = 110

          y

 

y x 10 = 110  x  y   (multiply by y on both sides)

               y

 

 

10y = 110

10      10

 

Hence y = 11.

x is inversely proportional to y. x=80 while y=4. Find y when x is 8. 


SEQUENCES AND SERIES D1

 

The 1st term of an arithmetic progression is 33 and the common difference is 40. Find the nth term

 

solution

 

A1=33, d= 40, n=?

 

An =A1 + (n-1) d

 

An=33 + (n-1)40

 

An=33 + 40n -40

 

An=40n + 33-40

 

An=40n – 7   since  33-40= (-7)

 

Hence the nth term is An=40n - 7

DISTANCES 1

 


Change 760 nautical miles into kilometers.

 

Solution

 

1 nautical mile= 1.852 km

760 nautical mile= ?

 

 = 1.852 x 760

          1

 

= 1407.52

= 1407.52 to 2 d.p


Hence 760 nautical miles= 1407.52km.

ALGEBRA D1

 

The sum of four consecutive numbers is 606. 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

606

 

Then, n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = 606

 

4n + 1+2+3= 606

 

4n + 6 = 606

 

4n = 606 – 6

 

4n = 600 

 

4n = 600

 4        4

 

n = 150

 

3rd number = n +2

 

                   = 150 + 2

 

                   = 152

 

Hence the 3rd number is 152

FUNCTIONS D3

Given that F(x) = 3x  +  11. Find F(-2) – 2F(5)

 

Solution

 

CASE 1: We find F(-2)

 

 

F(x) = 3x  +  11

 

F(-2) = 3(-2)  +  11

 

F(-2) = -6  +  11

 

F(-2) = 5

 

 

Hence  F(-2) = 5

 

 

 

============================================================

 

CASE 2: We find F(5)

 

 

 

F(x) = 3x  +  11

 

F(5) = 3(5)  +  11

 

F(5) = 15  +  11

 

F(5) = 26

 

 

Hence  F(5) = 26

 

 

2F(5) = 2(26) = 52

 

=====================

 

CASE 3: We find F(-2) – 2F(5)

 

 

= F(-2) – 2F(5)

= 5 – 52

= -47
