MATHEMATICS 1. If angle X is 135, evaluate cos X a. 1/2. B. root2/ 2. C. -root2\ 2. D. -1/2. ______________________________________________ in the second quadrant, cos is negative. Therefore, we have -cos (180-135) = -cos45 In trig, -cos 45 is -1/root2. If you take conjugate of the surd by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by root 2, you will get -root/2. OPTION C. 2. The distance between the point (4,3) and the intersection of y=2x+4 and y=7-x is A. Root 13. B. 3 root 2. C. Root 26. D. 10 root 5 __________________________________________________ we have to get the intersection first by equating the two lines, 2x+4=7-x 2x+x=7-4 3x=3 X=1 Sub for x in y=2x+4 Y= 2(1) + 4 Y=6 The coordinate thus becomes (1,6) The distance is square root of (y2-y1)square + (x2-x1)square Substitute your values, you will arrive at square root of 18 Which is 3root2. OPTION B. 3. A circular arc subtends angle 150 at the centre of a circle of radius 12cm. Calculate the area of the sector of the arc. A. 30pi b. 60pi c. 120pi d. 150pi __________________________________________________ area of sector is titre/360 times pi R^2 Introduce the values and solve carefully, you will arrive at 60picm^2. OPTION B 4. Find the gradient of the line joining P(5, -7) Q (-2, -3) A. 1/2 b. 2/5 c. -4/7 d. -2/3 _________________________________________________ the formular is (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) I.e. -3-(-7) / -2-5 = -3+7 / -7 = -4/7. OPTION C. 5. Find dy/dx if y=x^2-1/x A. 2x-1/x^2. B. 2x+x^2. C. 2x-x^2. D. 2x+1/x^2 ________________________________________________ x^2 - 1/x = x^2 - x^-1 = 2x+ x^-2 = 2x+ 1/ x^2. OPTION D 6. The mean of seven numbers is 96. If an eighth number is added, the mean becomes 112. Find the eighth number. A. 126. B. 180. C. 216. D. 224 ________________________________________________ x/7 =96 X= 96*7 X= 672 (672+y) / 8 = 112 672 + y = 112 * 8 672 + y = 896 Y= 896 - 672 Y = 224. OPTION D 7. The angles of polygon are given by x, 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x respectively. Find the value of x. A. 24. B. 30. C. 33. D. 36 ________________________________________________ the general formular is 180 (n-2) Here, the polygon has 5 sides if you count, so, n=5 180 (5-2) 180*3 = 540 X+2x+3x+4x+5x= 540 15x= 540 X= 540/15 X= 36. OPTION D 8. Given that I is a unit matrix of order 3, find the determinant of I. A. -1. B. 0. C. 1. D. 2 _____________________________________________________ if you can sketch it out correctly, you'll get 1 Cc: clementnoble22 4 Likes |

Completing a Square With some quadratics, it's possible to look at them and - at a glance, recognize that they are almost perfect squares. For example, consider the following: x 2 + 6x + 8 If you've been working with quadratics for very long (or if you've done the previous reading in this unit), you know that x 2 + 6x + 9 is a perfect square - it's the square of (x + 3). So what would we have to do to x 2 + 6x + 8 to turn it into a perfect square? That's easy! We'd just need to add 1 to it! So let's see if we can formulate a method for completing squares. We know that (x + k) 2 = x 2 + 2kx + k 2, which should give us an idea... If we take half of the coefficient of x and square it, we get the constant we would need in order to have a perfect square. Example #1 What would we have to add to x 2 + 10x + 21 to make it a perfect square? Solution #1 Take half of 10 (the coefficient of x ), which is 5. Now square the 5 and you get 25. In order to be a perfect square, the constant term must be 25. Since it's actually 21, we need to Add 4 to complete the square. Example #2 What would we have to add to x 2 - 4x + 5 to make it a perfect square? Solution #2 Take half of -4, and you get -2. Square that and you get 4. Thus, the constant term must be 4. Since it's actually 5, we need to subtract 1 to complete the square. But what if the coefficient of x 2 is something other than 1? Well, that changes it a bit. If the coefficient of x 2 is a perfect square, we can still complete the square easily. The rule is the same as before, except that now, after dividing the coefficient of x by 2, we also divide it by the square root of the coefficient of x 2. Then we square the result. Example #3 What would we have to add to 9x 2 + 6x + 3 to make it a perfect square? Solution #3 The coefficient of x 2 is 9, and its square root is 3. Divided the coefficient of x by 2 (that gives you 3), and then divide it by 3, which gives you 1. Square the 1, and you get 1. The constant term has to be 1, but it's actually 3, so we must subtract 2 to complete the square. Example #4 What would we have to add to 4x 2 + 20x + 21 to make it a perfect square? Solution #4 The square root of 4 is 2. Divide 20 by 2, and then divide that by 2, and you get 5. Square the 5, and we find that our constant term must be 25. Since it's actually 21, we need to add 4 to complete the square. |
