Question 1
The word SYLLABUS has 8 letters.
The letter 'L' repeats 2 times.
The letter 'S' repeats 2 times.
Therefore, the number of possible words is \(\dfrac{8!}{2! 2!}\).

Question 4
Integrate the expression:\[\int (4x - 6x^{2/3})dx = \left[ \frac{4x^2}{2} - \frac{6x^{5/3}}{5/3} \right]_0^1\]\[= \left[ 2x^2 - \frac{18}{5}x^{5/3} \right]_0^1\]Substitute the limits 1 and 0:\[\left(2(1)^2 - \frac{18}{5}(1)^{5/3}\right) - (0) = 2 - 3.6 = -1.6\]Converting to a fraction: \(-1.6 = -\frac{8}{5}\).

Question 6
The sum of the interior and exterior angles is 180°:\[x + 5x = 180 \implies 6x = 180 \implies x = 30^o\]To find the number of sides (n), use the sum of exterior angles (360°):\[n = \frac{360^o}{30^o} = 12\]A polygon with 12 sides is a dodecagon.

Question 7
Given \(\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 1.5\). We need to find \(\frac{dr}{dt}\).
From \(A = \pi r^2\), we find \(r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}\).
Differentiating \(A = \pi r^2\) with respect to \(t\):\[\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r \frac{dr}{dt} \implies 1.5 = 2\pi \left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}\right) \frac{dr}{dt}\]\[\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{1.5}{2\sqrt{2\pi}} \approx \frac{1.5}{5.013} \approx 0.299 \text{ cms}^{-1}\]

Question 10

The diagram above is a circle with centre C. P, Q and S are points on the circumference. PS and SR are tangents to the circle. ∠PSR = 36°. Find ∠PQR.
From ∆PSR
|PS| = |SR| (If two tangents are drawn from an external point of the circle, then they are of equal lengths)
∴ ∆PSR is isosceles
∠PSR + ∠SRP + ∠SPR = 180o (sum of angles in a triangle)
Since |PS| = |SR|; ∠SRP = ∠SPR
⇒ ∠PSR + ∠SRP + ∠SRP = 180o
∠PSR + 2∠SRP = 180o
36o + 2∠SRP = 180o
2∠SRP = 180o - 36o
2∠SRP = 144o
∠SRP = 144/2=72o
∠SRP = ∠PQR (angle formed by a tangent and chord is equal to the angle in the alternate segment)
∴ ∠PQR = 720
