ALGEBRA F1

 


If  x+3y = 1            find  x/y             

    5x-3y    3

 

Solution

 

x+3y = 1           

5x-3y   3

 

1(5x-3y) = 3(x+3y)           [after cross multiplying]

 

5x-3y = 3x+9y

 

5x - 3x = 9y + 3y   [after collecting the like terms]

 

2x = 12y

 

12x = 612y

12        2 1

 

 x = 6y

     

x = 6y

y      y

 

x = 6

y    

 

Hence x/y = 6  answer.

RECIPROCALS F1

 

Find the reciprocal of 0.35

Solution

=    1       .

     0.35

 

= 1  ÷  0.35

 

= 1 x 1/0.35

 

= 1 x      1       .        after changing 0.35 into fraction

           35/100

 

= 1 x 100

           35

 

= 20/7

BODMAS F1

 

Evaluate 90 + 50 x 3 – 80 ÷ 4

 

Solution

 

We apply BODMAS.

 

= 90 + 50 x 3 – 80 ÷ 4

 

= 90 + 50 x 3 – 20    [After dividing]

 

= 90 + 150 – 20    [After multiplying]

 

= 240 – 20    [After adding]

 

= 220       [After subtracting]

 

Hence 90 + 50 x 3 – 80 ÷ 4 = 220      

 

TRY THIS...................................

 

Evaluate 200 + 10 x 30 – 60 ÷ 4

PERIMETERS F1

 Area of rectangle is 48m2. Find its perimeter if width is 4m. 

 

Solution

 

A = L x w

 

48 = L x 4

 

48 = 4L

4      4

 

12 = L

 

Now; P =2(L + w)

 

= 2(12 + 4)

 

= 2 x 16

 

= 32m

 

Hence perimeter is 32m

 

TRY THIS………..

 

Area of rectangle is 80m2. Find its perimeter if width is 4m.  

LOGARITHMS F2

 If logx 2401 – log3729 = -4; find x

 

Solution

 

logx 2401 – log3729 = -2

 

logx 2401 – log336 = -2

 

logx 2401 – 6log33 = -2

 

logx 2401 – 6 x 1 = -2

 

logx 2401 – 6 = -2

 

logx 2401 = -2 + 6

 

logx 2401 = 4 

 

2401 = x4        2401=7x7x7x7=74 by prime factors

 

74 = x4      Powers cancel out

 

x = 7

 

 

Hence x = 7.

VECTORS F1

 

If u = 16i + 2j and v = 8i + 10j find 4u - 3v

 

solution

 

= 4u - 3v

 

= 4(16i + 2j) - 3(8i + 10j)

 

= 64i + 8j - 24i - 30j

 

= (64i - 24i) + (8j - 30j)    [grouping like terms]

 

= 40i - 22j

 

Hence 4u - 3v = 40i - 22j .

 

TRY THIS..................

 

If u = 10i + 3j and v = 11i + 4j;  find 6u - 2v.

EXPONENTIALS F1

 

Simplify (7a)2 - 3a2. 

 

Solution

 

= (7a)2 - 11a2    

 

= 72.a2 - 11a2               Since (mn)2 =m2 . n2

 

= 49a2 - 11a2   {since the square number of 7 is 49}

 

= 38a2

LOGARITHMS F1

 Evaluate Log1,000,000,000 +  log (0.01)6 + log3243

 

Solution

 

= Log1,000,000,000 +  log (0.01)6 + log3243

 

= Log109 +  log (10-2)6 + log33-5        since [0.01=10-2]

 

= Log109 +  log 10-12 + log33-5

 

= 9Log1010 +  (-12log10 10) + (-5log33)

 

= (9x1) + (-12x1) + (-5x1)

 

= 9 + (-12) + (-5)

 

= 9 + (-17)

 

= -8

 

Hence Log1,000,000,000 +  log (0.01)6 + log3243 = -8
