Despite the governing council's initial reluctance to acquiesce _____ the newly proposed administrative reforms, the Vice-Chancellor maintained that strict compliance was concomitant _____ sustainable academic excellence.

Which pair of prepositions correctly completes the sentence above?

to / to

in / with

with / of

to / with

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: in / with

Cevap

The correct pair of prepositions is 'in / with'.

The verb 'acquiesce' idiomatically requires the dependent preposition 'in' when expressing passive consent or agreement to a policy, demand, or decision. Concurrently, the adjective 'concomitant' forms a fixed collocation with 'with' when indicating accompanying events or qualities. Therefore, the option containing 'in / with' is the only syntactically and idiomatically correct choice.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the dependent preposition required by the verb 'acquiesce'.

The verb 'acquiesce' (meaning to accept or agree passively) standardly takes the preposition 'in' (e.g., acquiesce in a decision/plan).

Although 'acquiesce to' is frequently used in informal speech, formal standard English and JAMB examination standards strictly require 'in'.

2

Determine the prepositional collocation required by the adjective 'concomitant'.

The adjective 'concomitant' (meaning naturally accompanying or associated) pairs idiomatically with the preposition 'with'.

Prepositional complements following adjectives of association or co-occurrence standardly select 'with'.

3

Combine the two correct prepositions to complete the sentence.

The completed sentence reads: '...acquiesce in the newly proposed administrative reforms... concomitant with sustainable academic excellence.'

This satisfies both grammatical dependencies perfectly.

If $\log_2 x + \log_4 x + \log_{16} x = \frac{21}{4}$ , find the value of $x$ .

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

8

Applying the change of base formula

\log_b x = \frac{\log_2 x}{\log_2 b}

allows

\log_4 x

and

\log_{16} x

to be rewritten as

\frac{1}{2}\log_2 x

and

\frac{1}{4}\log_2 x

. Summing

(1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4})\log_2 x

yields

\frac{7}{4}\log_2 x = \frac{21}{4}

, which simplifies to

\log_2 x = 3

. Converting to exponential form gives

x = 2^3 = 8

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express all logarithmic terms in terms of base 2 using the change of base formula

\log_4 x = \frac{1}{2}\log_2 x \text{ and } \log_{16} x = \frac{1}{4}\log_2 x

Converting all terms to a common base allows for algebraic simplification.

2

Substitute the expressions back into the equation and factor out \log_2 x

\left(1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}\right)\log_2 x = \frac{7}{4}\log_2 x = \frac{21}{4}

Combining the fractional coefficients simplifies the left side of the equation.

3

Solve for \log_2 x and evaluate x using the definition of logarithm

\log_2 x = 3 \implies x = 2^3 = 8

Multiplying both sides by \frac{4}{7} isolates \log_2 x, and converting to exponential form gives the value of x.

Galvanizing protects iron from rusting by coating it with zinc, which acts as a sacrificial anode because zinc is more electropositive than iron.

Doğru

Yanlış

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: True

Cevap

The statement is True. Zinc is more electropositive than iron and acts as a sacrificial anode to prevent rusting.

Zinc has a higher oxidation potential than iron. During exposure to atmospheric moisture and oxygen, zinc corrodes preferentially, sacrificing itself to prevent the oxidation of iron.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the relative positions of zinc and iron in the reactivity/electrochemical series.

Zinc is more electropositive (more reactive) than iron.

Metals higher in the reactivity series lose electrons more easily.

2

Analyze the mechanism of galvanization.

Zinc oxidizes preferentially to form zinc ions (

Zn^{2+}

) while protecting iron from oxidation (

Cevap

Stilt roots for mechanical support in soft mud, pneumatophores with lenticels for aerial gaseous exchange, and root cell membranes capable of ultrafiltration to exclude salt

The red mangrove (*Rhizophora racemosa*) is a dominant plant species in the coastal mangrove biomes of southern Nigeria. It possesses arched stilt roots that anchor the tree firmly in soft, muddy intertidal soils against tidal movements. To overcome the anaerobic (oxygen-deficient) conditions of waterlogged mud, it uses respiratory roots (pneumatophores) covered with lenticels for atmospheric gaseous exchange. Furthermore, ultrafiltration in the root cell membranes prevents high concentrations of salt from entering the vascular system.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the abiotic challenges of the intertidal mangrove biome

Identified major environmental factors: high salinity, muddy unstable substrate, and anaerobic soil conditions during high tide.

Plant adaptations must directly address these specific abiotic stress factors.

2

Evaluate morphological features for physical stability and aeration

Red mangroves utilize prop/stilt roots extending from the trunk into soft sediment for support, and pneumatophores with lenticels for breathing above waterlogged soil.

Morphological modifications prevent uprooting by waves and allow atmospheric oxygen uptake.

3

Evaluate physiological mechanisms for osmoregulation

Rhizophora roots employ non-energy-intensive ultrafiltration mechanisms at the root cortex to block salt entry while taking up water.

High soil salinity requires specialized physiological filtration to maintain positive water potential gradient.

3

Compute the mean population density per square meter

\frac{180\text{ grasshoppers}}{60\text{ m}^2} = 3\text{ grasshoppers/m}^2

Population density is defined as the total number of organisms counted divided by total sampled area.

4

Extrapolate population density to the total study area

3\text{ grasshoppers/m}^2 \times 12,000\text{ m}^2 = 36,000\text{ grasshoppers}

Cevap: False

Cevap

The statement is false because game reserves and national parks conserve organisms in their original habitats, making them examples of in-situ conservation rather than ex-situ conservation.

The statement is false because protecting biodiversity within natural ecosystems—such as in game reserves, biosphere reserves, and national parks—is defined as in-situ (on-site) conservation. Ex-situ (off-site) conservation involves removing organisms from their natural habitats to artificial environments like botanical gardens, zoological parks, or seed banks.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Examine the operational environment of national parks and game reserves.

National parks maintain natural flora and fauna within their original geographic habitats without relocating them.

Determining where species reside within these reserves clarifies the mode of conservation.

300,000 shares

Issued capital is the portion of authorized capital offered to subscribers (

500,000 \times 60\% = 300,000

shares).

2

Calculate total called-up capital

₦450,000

Called-up capital is the amount requested by the company from shareholders (

\frac{1}{2}\sin(3\theta) + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cos(3\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

, which simplifies to

\sin(3\theta + 60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

.

The identity

\sin(A + B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B

allows us to combine

\sin(3\theta)

and

\cos(3\theta)

using

\cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2}

and

\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

.

2

Find the quadrant solutions for the angle

3\theta + 60^\circ

.

First quadrant:

3\theta + 60^\circ = 45^\circ + 360^\circ k \implies 3\theta = -15^\circ + 360^\circ k

.
Second quadrant:

3\theta + 60^\circ = 135^\circ + 360^\circ k \implies 3\theta = 75^\circ + 360^\circ k

.

Since the sine of the angle is positive (

\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

), solutions exist in both the first (

45^\circ

) and second (

180^\circ - 45^\circ = 135^\circ

) quadrants.

3

Calculate the smallest positive angle

\theta

.

For

k = 0

in the second quadrant branch,

3\theta = 75^\circ \implies \theta = 25^\circ

. (The first quadrant branch yields

\theta = -5^\circ

for

k=0

and

\theta = 115^\circ

for

k=1

). Thus,

\theta = 25^\circ

is the smallest positive solution.

Comparing all non-negative resulting angles demonstrates that

25^\circ

is the smallest strictly positive solution.

\frac{11}{9}

\frac{11}{6}

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $\frac{13}{9}$

Cevap

\frac{13}{9}

Using the change of base chain rule,

\log_a c = \log_a b \cdot \log_b c = 2 \times 3 = 6

. Changing the base of the target expression to base

a

gives

\frac{\log_a (a^3 b^2 c)}{\log_a (a b c)}

. Expanding both terms using product and power rules gives numerator

3(1) + 2(2) + 6 = 13

and denominator

1 + 2 + 6 = 9

, resulting in

\frac{13}{9}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express

\log_a c

using the change of base relationship.

\log_a c = \log_a b \cdot \log_b c = 2 \times 3 = 6

By the change of base rule (chain rule of logarithms),

\log_a b \cdot \log_b c = \log_a c

.

2

Apply the change of base formula to convert

\log_{a b c} (a^3 b^2 c)

to base

a

.

\log_{a b c} (a^3 b^2 c) = \frac{\log_a (a^3 b^2 c)}{\log_a (a b c)}

The change of base formula states that

\log_B X = \frac{\log_a X}{\log_a B}

.

3

Expand the numerator and denominator using logarithmic product and power rules.

Numerator:

3\log_a a + 2\log_a b + \log_a c = 3(1) + 2(2) + 6 = 13

. Denominator:

\log_a a + \log_a b + \log_a c = 1 + 2 + 6 = 9

.

\log_a (X Y Z) = \log_a X + \log_a Y + \log_a Z

and

\log_a (X^k) = k \log_a X

.

4

Divide the expanded numerator by the denominator.

\frac{13}{9}

Substituting the computed values yields the simplified fraction

\frac{13}{9}

.

Given that $245_x - 157_x = 66_x$ , find the value of the base $x$ .

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

The value of the base

x

is 8.

Expanding all terms in powers of

x

gives

2x^2 + 4x + 5 - (x^2 + 5x + 7) = 6x + 6

. Simplifying gives

x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0

, which factors into

(x - 8)(x + 1) = 0

. Since a number base must be a positive integer greater than any digit present in the equation (the maximum digit here is 7), the only valid base is

x = 8

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert each positional number into its base 10 polynomial expansion.

245_x = 2x^2 + 4x + 5

,

157_x = x^2 + 5x + 7

, and

66_x = 6x + 6

.

A number

d_2 d_1 d_0

in base

x

represents

d_2 x^2 + d_1 x^1 + d_0 x^0

in base 10.

2

Substitute the expanded expressions into the given subtraction equation.

(2x^2 + 4x + 5) - (x^2 + 5x + 7) = 6x + 6

This translates the base

x

relationship into a standard base 10 equation.

3

Simplify and rearrange into standard quadratic form.

x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0

Expanding the subtraction yields

x^2 - x - 2 = 6x + 6

. Subtracting

(6x + 6)

from both sides produces a quadratic set to zero.

4

Factorize the quadratic expression.

(x - 8)(x + 1) = 0 \implies x = 8 \text{ or } x = -1

Finding the roots provides potential mathematical values for

x

.

5

Apply number base constraints to select the valid root.

x = 8

A valid base must be a positive integer strictly greater than any individual digit in the expression. Since 7 appears in

157_x

,

x > 7

, ruling out

-1

and confirming

x = 8

.

Find the number of integer values of $x$ that satisfy the inequality $3x^2 - 10x - 8 \leq 0$ .

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The number of integer values of

x

satisfying the inequality is 5.

Factoring

3x^2 - 10x - 8 \leq 0

gives

(3x + 2)(x - 4) \leq 0

. The region where the quadratic expression is non-positive lies between the roots

x = -\frac{2}{3}

and

x = 4

, yielding

-\frac{2}{3} \leq x \leq 4

. The integers falling within this closed interval are

0, 1, 2, 3,

and

4

, giving a total of 5 integer solutions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Factor the quadratic expression

(3x + 2)(x - 4) \leq 0

Factoring allows us to find the critical boundary values of the inequality.

2

Find the critical values (roots)

x = -\frac{2}{3}

and

x = 4

Setting each linear factor to zero determines where the expression changes sign.

3

Determine the solution set interval

-\frac{2}{3} \leq x \leq 4

Since the coefficient of

x^2

is positive, the quadratic curve is convex (U-shaped), so the expression is less than or equal to zero between the roots.

4

List and count the integer solutions

Integers:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4

(Total = 5)

The smallest integer greater than or equal to

-\frac{2}{3}

is

0

, and the largest integer less than or equal to

4

is

4

.
