Question 1

Integrate \( \dfrac{2x^3 + 2x}{x} \) with respect to x
Show explanation Expand Question
First, simplify the integrand by dividing each term in the numerator by \(x\): \[ \int \dfrac{2x^3 + 2x}{x} dx = \int (2x^2 + 2) dx \] Now, integrate each term using the power rule \( \int x^n dx = \dfrac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} \): \[ \int 2x^2 dx + \int 2 dx = \dfrac{2x^3}{3} + 2x + k \]

Question 2

If the mean of 4, y, 8 and 10 is 7. Find Y?
Show explanation Expand Question
The mean is calculated by summing the numbers and dividing by the count of numbers: \[ \text{Mean} = \dfrac{4 + y + 8 + 10}{4} = 7 \] Multiply both sides by 4: \[ 22 + y = 28 \] Subtract 22 from both sides: \[ y = 28 - 22 = 6 \]

Question 3

Find the derivative of \( y = (\dfrac{1}{3}x + 6)^2 \)
Show explanation Expand Question
Using the chain rule, where \( \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{dy}{du} \cdot \dfrac{du}{dx} \). Let \( u = \dfrac{1}{3}x + 6 \), then \( y = u^2 \): \[ \dfrac{dy}{du} = 2u \quad \text{and} \quad \dfrac{du}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{3} \] Multiply the derivatives: \[ \dfrac{dy}{dx} = 2\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x + 6\right) \cdot \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{2}{3}\left(\dfrac{1}{3}x + 6\right) \]

Question 4

In a school of 150 students, 80 offer French while 60 offer Arabic and 20 offer neither. How many students offer both subjects?
Show explanation Expand Question
Let \( x \) be the number of students who offer both subjects. Using the set formula: \[ \text{Total} = n(F) + n(A) - n(F \cap A) + n(F \cup A)' \] \[ 150 = 80 + 60 - x + 20 \] \[ 150 = 160 - x \] \[ x = 160 - 150 = 10 \]

Question 5

If the 2nd term of a G.P is 8/9 and the 6th term is 4 1/2. Find the common ratio.
Show explanation Expand Question
In a Geometric Progression, \( T_n = ar^{n-1} \). Given \( T_2 = ar = \dfrac{8}{9} \) and \( T_6 = ar^5 = \dfrac{9}{2} \). Divide \( T_6 \) by \( T_2 \): \[ \dfrac{ar^5}{ar} = \dfrac{9/2}{8/9} \Rightarrow r^4 = \dfrac{9}{2} \cdot \dfrac{9}{8} = \dfrac{81}{16} \] Take the fourth root of both sides: \[ r = \sqrt[4]{\dfrac{81}{16}} = \dfrac{3}{2} \]

Question 6

From the diagram above, find the value of < OTQ
From the diagram above, find the value of ∠OTQ
Show explanation Expand Question
From the diagram above, find the value of < OTQ
According to circle geometry theorems, the angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended at the circumference. Therefore: \[ \angle OTQ = \frac{1}{2} \times \angle OPQ = \frac{1}{2} \times 130^\circ = 65^\circ \]

Question 7

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given as 1080o. Find the number of the sides of the polygon.
Show explanation Expand Question
For any polygon with \(n\) sides, the sum of its interior angles is given by the formula: \[ S = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ \] Given that the sum of the interior angles is: \[ S = 1080^\circ \] Substitute into the formula: \[ (n - 2) \times 180 = 1080 \] Divide both sides by \(180\): \[ n - 2 = \frac{1080}{180} \] \[ n - 2 = 6 \] Add 2 to both sides: \[ n = 8 \] A polygon with 8 sides is called an octagon. The formula works because any polygon can be divided into \((n-2)\) triangles from one vertex, and each triangle contributes \(180^\circ\) to the total interior angle sum. When the total is \(1080^\circ\), the polygon must therefore contain 6 triangles, implying 8 sides.

Question 8

In the diagram above, l1 is parallel to l2, Find the value of < PMT

In the diagram above, \(l_1\) is parallel to \(l_2\). Find the value of \(\angle PMT\).
Show explanation Expand Question
< MPT = 180o - 118o = 62o
< PML = 62o ( Alternative angle)
y + 2y + 10o + 62o = 180o (Angles on a straight line)
3y = 180 - 72\[dfrac{3y}{3} = \dfrac{108}{3}\] y = 36o
< PMT = 2y + 10 = 2(36) + 10 = 82o
