Question 31

Given the progression 3, 5, 7, 9,.... . . . find an expression for the (n - 2)\(^{th}\) term of the progression.
Show explanation Expand Question

This is an Arithmetic Progression (AP) where the first term \(a = 3\) and common difference \(d = 5 - 3 = 2\).
The general formula for the \(k^{th}\) term is \(T_{k} = a + (k - 1)d\).
For the \((n - 2)^{th}\) term, substitute \(k = n - 2\):\[ T_{n-2} = 3 + ((n - 2) - 1)2 \]\[ T_{n-2} = 3 + (n - 3)2 \]\[ T_{n-2} = 3 + 2n - 6 = 2n - 3 \]

Question 32

Find the derivatives of y = sin 4x
Show explanation Expand Question

To differentiate \(y = \sin(4x)\), we use the chain rule.
The derivative of \(\sin(u)\) is \(\cos(u) \cdot \frac{du}{dx}\).
Here, \(u = 4x\) and \(\frac{du}{dx} = 4\).\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos(4x) \cdot 4 = 4\cos 4x \]

Question 33

If A = \(\displaystyle \frac{\theta}{360}\pi r^{2}\), make \(\theta\) the subject of the formula
Show explanation Expand Question

1. Start with \(A = \displaystyle \frac{\theta \pi r^{2}}{360}\).
2. Multiply both sides by 360: \(360A = \theta \pi r^{2}\).
3. Divide both sides by \(\pi r^{2}\) to isolate \(\theta\):\[ \theta = \displaystyle \frac{360A}{\pi r^{2}} \]

Question 34

What is the maximum value of y = 2 - 4x - 2x\(^{2}\)
Show explanation Expand Question
Since the coefficient of \(x^{2}\) is negative (-2), the parabola opens downwards and has a maximum value (the question likely intended maximum).
The x-coordinate of the vertex is \(x = \displaystyle \frac{-b}{2a} = \displaystyle \frac{-(-4)}{2(-2)} = \displaystyle \frac{4}{-4} = -1\).
Substitute \(x = -1\) into the equation:\[ y = 2 - 4(-1) - 2(-1)^{2} \]\[ y = 2 + 4 - 2(1) = 6 - 2 = 4 \]

Question 35

If the probability of death is q and the probability of survival is p, find the probability of one death and one survival in an accident involving two persons
Show explanation Expand Question

For two persons, the possible outcomes are:
1. Survival (p) and Survival (p) = \(p^{2}\)
2. Death (q) and Death (q) = \(q^{2}\)
3. Death (q) and Survival (p) = \(qp\)
4. Survival (p) and Death (q) = \(pq\)

The probability of exactly one death and one survival is \(qp + pq = 2pq\).

Question 36

Geometric construction showing arcs for 60 degrees and 90 degrees with a bisector through point T.
Given the construction in the figure above. What is XŶZ
Show explanation Expand Question
The diagram shows a construction starting with a 60° arc and a 90° perpendicular. The point Z is located by bisecting the space between the 60° and 90° marks.\[ \text{Angle} = 60^{\circ} + \displaystyle \frac{90^{\circ} - 60^{\circ}}{2} = 60^{\circ} + 15^{\circ} = 75^{\circ} \]

Question 37

Convert 137 to base 5
Show explanation Expand Question
Divide 137 by 5 repeatedly and record the remainders:\[ \begin{array}{r|l}
\text{Divide} & \text{Remainder} \\ \hline
137 \div 5 = 27 & 2 \\
27 \div 5 = 5 & 2 \\
5 \div 5 = 1 & 0 \\
1 \div 5 = 0 & 1 \\
\end{array}

Question 38

P is partly constant and varies partly as Q. If P = 32 when Q = 16 and P = 20 when Q = 12, find P when Q = 28
Show explanation Expand Question

Equation: \(P = a + bQ\).
1. \(32 = a + 16b\)
2. \(20 = a + 12b\)
Subtract (2) from (1): \(12 = 4b \implies b = 3\).
Substitute \(b = 3\) into (2): \(20 = a + 12(3) \implies a = 20 - 36 = -16\).
Law: \(P = -16 + 3Q\).
When \(Q = 28\): \(P = -16 + 3(28) = -16 + 84 = 68\).

Question 39

The word HANDIER can be arranged in how many ways
Show explanation Expand Question

The word HANDIER contains 7 letters, and all letters are distinct (H, A, N, D, I, E, R).
The number of arrangements is \(7!\) (7 factorial):\[ 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 5040 \]

Question 40

\[\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Class interval} & 0-9 & 10-19 & 20-29 & 30-39 & 40-49 & 50-59 \\ \hline \text{Frequency} & 1 & 5 & 6 & 12 & 8 & 3 \\ \hline \end{array}\]
From the table above, estimate the mode of the distribution.
Show explanation Expand Question

Modal class is 30-39 (highest frequency 12).
\(L = 29.5\) (lower boundary), \(d_{1} = 12 - 6 = 6\), \(d_{2} = 12 - 8 = 4\), \(w = 10\).\[ \text{Mode} = L + \left( \displaystyle \frac{d_{1}}{d_{1} + d_{2}} \right)w \]\[ \text{Mode} = 29.5 + \left( \displaystyle \frac{6}{6 + 4} \right)10 = 29.5 + 6 = 35.5 \]Note: Using standard boundaries, result is 35.5. In JAMB multiple choice, 34.5 or similar values may appear if boundaries are treated differently, but 35.5 is the calculated estimate.
