Question 11

If line \( p = 5x + 3 \) is parallel to line \( p = wx + 5 \), find the value of \( w \).
Show explanation Expand Question
Parallel lines have identical gradients (slopes). For any line in the form \( y = mx + c \), the coefficient \( m \) represents the gradient. Comparing both equations: \[ m_1 = 5 \] \[ m_2 = w \] Since the lines are parallel, \( m_1 = m_2 \), therefore \( w = 5 \).

Question 12

Evaluate \( \int (\cos 4x + \sin 3x) dx \)
Show explanation Expand Question
To evaluate the integral, we use the standard trigonometric integration formulas: \[ \int \cos(ax) dx = \dfrac{1}{a} \sin(ax) + k \] \[ \int \sin(ax) dx = -\dfrac{1}{a} \cos(ax) + k \] Applying these to the expression: \[ \int \cos 4x dx + \int \sin 3x dx = \dfrac{1}{4} \sin 4x - \dfrac{1}{3} \cos 3x + k \]

Question 13

If \( x_{10} = 23_5 \), find \( x \).
Show explanation Expand Question
To find the value of \( x \) in base 10, we expand the number in base 5 using powers of 5: \[ x = (2 \times 5^1) + (3 \times 5^0) \] \[ x = 10 + 3 \] \[ x = 13 \] Thus, the decimal equivalent of \( 23_5 \) is 13.

Question 14

The pie chart above shows the distribution of subjects offered by students
The pie chart above shows the distribution of subjects offered by students in SSS III level. If 80 students enrolled in the class and 8 students take Economics, what is the size of the angle of the sector in Economics?
Show explanation Expand Question
xo + 36o + 54o + 28o + 90o + 120o = 360o

x + 328o = 360o
x = 360o - 328o
x = 32o

Question 15

Calculate the range of 20, -6, 25, 30, 21, 28, 32, 33, 34, 5, 3, 2, and 1.
Show explanation Expand Question
The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value in the set: \[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} \] In the given data: \[ \text{Maximum} = 34 \] \[ \text{Minimum} = -6 \] \[ \text{Range} = 34 - (-6) = 34 + 6 = 40 \]

Question 16

bar chart above shows the number of visitors received in a week
The bar chart above shows the number of visitors received in a week. How many visitors were received on Friday, Tuesday and Sunday?
Show explanation Expand Question
By observing the heights of the bars for the specified days on the vertical axis:
No of visitors = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16

Question 17

Factorize \( k^2 - 2kp + p^2 \).
Show explanation Expand Question
The expression is a perfect square trinomial following the algebraic identity: \[ a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = (a - b)^2 \] By substituting \( a = k \) and \( b = p \), we get: \[ k^2 - 2kp + p^2 = (k - p)^2 \]

Question 18

Calculate the perimeter of a sector of a circle of radius 12cm and angle 60°.
Show explanation Expand Question
The perimeter of a sector consists of two radii and the arc length. First, calculate the arc length \( L \): \[ L = \dfrac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r = \dfrac{60}{360} \times 2\pi(12) = \dfrac{1}{6} \times 24\pi = 4\pi \] Now, add the lengths of the two radii to the arc length: \[ \text{Perimeter} = 2r + L = 2(12) + 4\pi = (24 + 4\pi) \; \text{cm} \]

Question 19

The table below shows the frequency distribution of marks obtained by a group of students.\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Mark} & 2 & 3 & 4 \\
\hline
\text{Frequency} & 4 & 4 & y \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]If the total mark is 48, find the value of y.
Show explanation Expand Question
The total mark is the sum of the products of each mark and its corresponding frequency: \[ \sum (\text{Mark} \times \text{Frequency}) = 48 \] \[ (2 \times 4) + (3 \times 4) + (4 \times y) = 48 \] \[ 8 + 12 + 4y = 48 \] \[ 20 + 4y = 48 \] \[ 4y = 28 \Rightarrow y = 7 \]

Question 20

Given \( U = \{x: x \text{ is a positive integer less than } 15\} \) and \( P = \{x: x \text{ is even number from 1 to 14\}} \). Find the complement of P.
Show explanation Expand Question
List the elements of the Universal set \( U \) and set \( P \): \[ U = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14\} \] \[ P = \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14\} \] The complement \( P' \) consists of elements in \( U \) that are not in \( P \): \[ P' = \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13\} \]
