Cevap: 4

Cevap

4
By evaluating the special angles directly: 4cos230=34\cos^2 30^\circ = 3, 2sin245=12\sin^2 45^\circ = 1, tan260=3\tan^2 60^\circ = 3, and csc30=2\csc 30^\circ = 2. Substituting these into the expression yields 3+132=41=4\frac{3 + 1}{3 - 2} = \frac{4}{1} = 4.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Substitute the exact value of cos30\cos 30^\circ
4cos230=4(32)2=4(34)=34\cos^2 30^\circ = 4 \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = 4 \left(\frac{3}{4}\right) = 3
The exact value of cos30\cos 30^\circ is 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.
2
Substitute the exact value of sin45\sin 45^\circ
2sin245=2(12)2=2(12)=12\sin^2 45^\circ = 2 \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 = 2 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 1
The exact value of sin45\sin 45^\circ is 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}.
3
Substitute the exact values of tan60\tan 60^\circ and csc30\csc 30^\circ
tan260=(3)2=3\tan^2 60^\circ = (\sqrt{3})^2 = 3 and csc30=1sin30=2\csc 30^\circ = \frac{1}{\sin 30^\circ} = 2
The exact value of tan60\tan 60^\circ is 3\sqrt{3} and csc30\csc 30^\circ is the reciprocal of sin30=12\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}.
4
Simplify the entire fraction
3+132=41=4\frac{3 + 1}{3 - 2} = \frac{4}{1} = 4
Dividing the simplified numerator (4) by the simplified denominator (1) gives 4.

A variable yy is partly constant and partly varies directly as x\sqrt{x}. Given that y=26y = 26 when x=16x = 16, and y=38y = 38 when x=49x = 49, what is the value of yy when x=64x = 64?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 42

Cevap

The value of yy when x=64x = 64 is 4242.
The relationship is given by the partial variation equation y=a+bxy = a + b\sqrt{x}. Substituting the pairs (16,26)(16, 26) and (49,38)(49, 38) yields the linear system a+4b=26a + 4b = 26 and a+7b=38a + 7b = 38. Solving this system gives the constants a=10a = 10 and b=4b = 4. Substituting x=64x = 64 into y=10+464y = 10 + 4\sqrt{64} results in y=10+4(8)=42y = 10 + 4(8) = 42.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Formulate the partial variation equation.
y=a+bxy = a + b\sqrt{x}, where aa and bb are constants of variation.
Partial variation implies yy is the sum of a constant term aa and a term directly proportional to x\sqrt{x}.
2
Set up simultaneous equations using the given pairs of (x,y)(x, y).
Equation 1: a+4b=26a + 4b = 26
Equation 2: a+7b=38a + 7b = 38
Evaluating 16=4\sqrt{16} = 4 and 49=7\sqrt{49} = 7 simplifies the relationship into two linear equations in two unknowns.
3
Solve for constants aa and bb.
b=4b = 4 and a=10a = 10
Subtracting Equation 1 from Equation 2 yields 3b=12    b=43b = 12 \implies b = 4, and substituting b=4b = 4 back into Equation 1 gives a=10a = 10.
4
Calculate yy when x=64x = 64.
y=10+4(8)=42y = 10 + 4(8) = 42
Using the specific formula y=10+4xy = 10 + 4\sqrt{x} for x=64x = 64 gives y=10+32=42y = 10 + 32 = 42.

Use the double-angle trigonometric identity to simplify the product term.
4sin(2x)cos(2x)=2(2sin(2x)cos(2x))=2sin(4x)4\sin(2x)\cos(2x) = 2(2\sin(2x)\cos(2x)) = 2\sin(4x)
Applying the double-angle identity sin(2θ)=2sinθcosθ\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta transforms the product into a standard single sine term.
2
Express the reciprocal power with a negative exponent.
4x2=4x2-\frac{4}{x^2} = -4x^{-2}
Rewriting the fraction in index form allows the power rule of integration to be applied directly.

The second, fourth, and eighth terms of an arithmetic progression (AP) with a non-zero common difference form three consecutive terms of a geometric progression (GP). If the sum of the first 55 terms of the AP is 4545, what is the first term of the AP?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3

Cevap

The first term of the AP is 3.
By expressing the 2nd, 4th, and 8th terms as a+da+d, a+3da+3d, and a+7da+7d, the geometric mean condition (a+3d)2=(a+d)(a+7d)(a+3d)^2 = (a+d)(a+7d) reduces to d=ad = a. Substituting d=ad = a into the sum formula S5=5(a+2d)=45S_5 = 5(a+2d) = 45 gives 15a=4515a = 45, yielding a first term of 3.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Express the 2nd, 4th, and 8th terms of the AP in terms of first term aa and common difference dd
T2=a+dT_2 = a + d, T4=a+3dT_4 = a + 3d, and T8=a+7dT_8 = a + 7d
The nn-th term of an AP is given by Tn=a+(n1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d.
2
Apply the condition for consecutive terms of a GP
(a+3d)2=(a+d)(a+7d)    a2+6ad+9d2=a2+8ad+7d2    2d2=2ad    d=a(a + 3d)^2 = (a + d)(a + 7d) \implies a^2 + 6ad + 9d^2 = a^2 + 8ad + 7d^2 \implies 2d^2 = 2ad \implies d = a
If three terms x,y,zx, y, z form a GP, then y2=xzy^2 = xz. Since d0d \neq 0, dividing by 2d2d gives d=ad = a.
3
Use the sum of the first 5 terms of the AP to set up an equation for aa and dd
S5=52[2a+4d]=45    5(a+2d)=45    a+2d=9S_5 = \frac{5}{2}[2a + 4d] = 45 \implies 5(a + 2d) = 45 \implies a + 2d = 9
The sum of the first nn terms of an AP is Sn=n2[2a+(n1)d]S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d].
4
Substitute d=ad = a into the sum equation to solve for aa
a+2(a)=9    3a=9    a=3a + 2(a) = 9 \implies 3a = 9 \implies a = 3
Substituting d=ad = a simplifies the linear equation to solve directly for aa.

The length of side rr is 7 cm7\text{ cm}.
Using the Cosine Rule r2=p2+q22pqcosRr^2 = p^2 + q^2 - 2pq \cos R with p=3p=3, q=8q=8, and R=60\angle R=60^\circ yields r2=9+6448(0.5)=49r^2 = 9 + 64 - 48(0.5) = 49, which gives r=7 cmr = 7\text{ cm}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
State the Cosine Rule formula for side rr
r2=p2+q22pqcosRr^2 = p^2 + q^2 - 2pq \cos R
The Cosine Rule allows calculating the third side of a triangle when two sides and the included angle are given.
2
Substitute the given values into the formula
r2=32+822(3)(8)cos60r^2 = 3^2 + 8^2 - 2(3)(8) \cos 60^\circ
We are given p=3p = 3, q=8q = 8, and R=60\angle R = 60^\circ.
3
Evaluate the trigonometric expression and simplify
r2=9+6448(0.5)=7324=49r^2 = 9 + 64 - 48(0.5) = 73 - 24 = 49
Since cos60=0.5\cos 60^\circ = 0.5, multiplying 2×3×8×0.52 \times 3 \times 8 \times 0.5 yields 2424.

If the mean score of the distribution is 2.52.5, what is the median score of the dataset?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2.52.5

Cevap

The median score of the dataset is 2.52.5.
To find the median, we first find the missing frequency kk using the mean formula Mean=fxf\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}. Setting 23+3k10+k=2.5\frac{23 + 3k}{10 + k} = 2.5 gives k=4k = 4. With k=4k = 4, the total number of observations is N=14N = 14. The median is the average of the 7th and 8th scores in the ordered dataset. From cumulative frequencies, the 7th score is 22 and the 8th score is 33. Thus, the median is 2+32=2.5\frac{2 + 3}{2} = 2.5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Mean=fxf=1(4)+2(3)+3(k)+4(2)+5(1)4+3+k+2+1=23+3k10+k=2.5\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f} = \frac{1(4) + 2(3) + 3(k) + 4(2) + 5(1)}{4 + 3 + k + 2 + 1} = \frac{23 + 3k}{10 + k} = 2.5
The mean of an ungrouped frequency table is the sum of all values divided by total frequency.
2
Solve the linear equation for kk
23+3k=2.5(10+k)    23+3k=25+2.5k    0.5k=2    k=423 + 3k = 2.5(10 + k) \implies 23 + 3k = 25 + 2.5k \implies 0.5k = 2 \implies k = 4
Cross-multiplying and grouping like terms isolates the variable kk.
3
Determine the total frequency NN and median positions
N=4+3+4+2+1=14N = 4 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 14. Median position = average of 142th\frac{14}{2}\text{th} (7th7\text{th}) and (142+1)th(\frac{14}{2} + 1)\text{th} (8th8\text{th}) values.
For an even total number of observations NN, the median is the arithmetic mean of the two central numbers.

What is the distance in kilometers between the two ships after 22 hours?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 70

Cevap

The distance between the two ships after 2 hours is 70 km.
The distance traveled by Ship P in 2 hours is 50 km50\text{ km} and by Ship Q is 80 km80\text{ km}. The angle between their paths is 100040=60100^\circ - 040^\circ = 60^\circ. Applying the Cosine Rule yields PQ2=502+8022(50)(80)cos(60)=2500+64004000=4900PQ^2 = 50^2 + 80^2 - 2(50)(80)\cos(60^\circ) = 2500 + 6400 - 4000 = 4900, giving a distance of 4900=70 km\sqrt{4900} = 70\text{ km}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the distances traveled by Ship P and Ship Q after 2 hours
OP=50 kmOP = 50\text{ km} and OQ=80 kmOQ = 80\text{ km}
Distance equals speed multiplied by time.
2
Find the angle between the lines of travel from port O
POQ=10040=60\angle POQ = 100^\circ - 40^\circ = 60^\circ
The angle between two bearings from a common origin is the difference between their bearing angles.
3
Use the Cosine Rule to calculate the side length PQ
PQ2=502+8022(50)(80)cos(60)=4900PQ^2 = 50^2 + 80^2 - 2(50)(80)\cos(60^\circ) = 4900
The Cosine Rule c2=a2+b22abcosCc^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos C calculates the unknown opposite side given two side lengths and their included angle.
4
Take the square root to find PQ
PQ=70 kmPQ = 70\text{ km}
Taking the principal square root gives the final linear distance.

A forest ranger at a control post XX observes a lookout tower at point YY on a bearing of 072072^\circ. What is the bearing of the control post XX from the lookout tower YY?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 252252^\circ

Cevap

The bearing of the control post XX from the lookout tower YY is 252252^\circ.
The bearing of YY from XX is 072072^\circ. To find the bearing of XX from YY (the back bearing), we add 180180^\circ to the forward bearing because 072072^\circ is less than 180180^\circ. Calculation: 072+180=252072^\circ + 180^\circ = 252^\circ.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the forward bearing of point YY from point XX.
Forward bearing = 072072^\circ.
The question states that YY is observed from XX on a bearing of 072072^\circ.
2
Apply the rule for finding a back bearing when the forward bearing is less than 180180^\circ.
Back bearing = Forward bearing+180=072+180=252\text{Forward bearing} + 180^\circ = 072^\circ + 180^\circ = 252^\circ.
Since 072<180072^\circ < 180^\circ, we add 180180^\circ to determine the reverse direction from North at point YY.

What is the value of (38)(mod7)(-38) \pmod{7} expressed in standard non-negative remainder form?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

4
The value 44 is correct because 38=7×(6)+4-38 = 7 \times (-6) + 4. The remainder 44 lies in the standard non-negative range 0r<70 \le r < 7. Alternatively, adding multiples of 77 to 38-38 gives 38+35=3-38 + 35 = -3, and adding 77 once more gives 3+7=4-3 + 7 = 4.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the largest multiple of the modulus 77 that is less than or equal to 38-38.
The multiple is 7×(6)=427 \times (-6) = -42.
Modular arithmetic requires the remainder rr to satisfy 0r<70 \le r < 7 in standard form.
2
Calculate the remainder by subtracting the multiple from the dividend.
38(42)=38+42=4-38 - (-42) = -38 + 42 = 4.
The remainder is the non-negative difference between the number and the multiple of the modulus.

The 3rd term of an arithmetic progression (AP) is 1414 and its 7th term is 3434. If the nn-th term of this AP is equal to the 4th term of a geometric progression (GP) whose first term is 22 and common ratio is 33, what is the value of nn?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 11

Cevap

The value of nn is 1111.
The AP has first term a=4a = 4 and common difference d=5d = 5, giving Tn=4+5(n1)=5n1T_n = 4 + 5(n-1) = 5n - 1. The 4th term of the GP is 2×33=542 \times 3^{3} = 54. Setting 5n1=545n - 1 = 54 gives 5n=555n = 55, so n=11n = 11.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the first term aa and common difference dd of the arithmetic progression.
a=4a = 4 and d=5d = 5
The nn-th term of an AP is given by Tn=a+(n1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d. Using given terms: T3=a+2d=14T_3 = a + 2d = 14 and T7=a+6d=34T_7 = a + 6d = 34. Subtracting the first equation from the second yields 4d=20d=54d = 20 \Rightarrow d = 5. Substituting d=5d = 5 into a+2(5)=14a + 2(5) = 14 gives a=4a = 4.
2
Calculate the 4th term of the geometric progression (G4G_4).
G4=54G_4 = 54
The mm-th term of a GP is given by Gm=agprm1G_m = a_{gp} \cdot r^{m-1}. With first term agp=2a_{gp} = 2 and ratio r=3r = 3, G4=2341=233=227=54G_4 = 2 \cdot 3^{4-1} = 2 \cdot 3^3 = 2 \cdot 27 = 54.
3
Equate TnT_n to G4G_4 and solve for nn.
n=11n = 11
Set Tn=G44+(n1)5=54T_n = G_4 \Rightarrow 4 + (n-1)5 = 54. Simplifying gives (n1)5=50n1=10n=11(n-1)5 = 50 \Rightarrow n-1 = 10 \Rightarrow n = 11.

What is the larger real value of xx that satisfies the logarithmic equation logx8+log4x=52\log_x 8 + \log_4 x = \frac{5}{2}?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

The larger value of xx that satisfies the equation is 8.
Using the change of base rule logab=logcblogca\log_a b = \frac{\log_c b}{\log_c a}, we express both logarithmic terms in base 2: logx8=3log2x\log_x 8 = \frac{3}{\log_2 x} and log4x=log2x2\log_4 x = \frac{\log_2 x}{2}. Setting y=log2xy = \log_2 x gives 3y+y2=52\frac{3}{y} + \frac{y}{2} = \frac{5}{2}. Multiplying by 2y2y yields y25y+6=0y^2 - 5y + 6 = 0, which factors as (y2)(y3)=0(y-2)(y-3) = 0. Thus, y=2y = 2 or y=3y = 3, giving solutions x=22=4x = 2^2 = 4 and x=23=8x = 2^3 = 8. The larger solution is 8.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the change of base formula to express all logarithmic terms in base 2.
\log_x 8 = \frac{\log_2 8}{\log_2 x} = \frac{3}{\log_2 x} \quad \text{and} \quad \log_4 x = \frac{\log_2 x}{\log_2 4} = \frac{1}{2}\log_2 x
Converting all terms to a common base (base 2) allows algebraic simplification.
2
Substitute y=log2xy = \log_2 x into the given equation.
3y+y2=52\frac{3}{y} + \frac{y}{2} = \frac{5}{2}
Using substitution converts the logarithmic expression into a rational algebraic equation.
3
Multiply the entire equation by 2y2y to clear denominators and form a quadratic equation.
6 + y^2 = 5y \implies y^2 - 5y + 6 = 0
Clearing denominators transforms the relation into standard quadratic form.
4
Factor the quadratic equation to find the values of yy.
(y - 2)(y - 3) = 0 \implies y = 2 \text{ or } y = 3
Factoring determines the possible powers of 2 for xx.
5
Solve for xx using y=log2xy = \log_2 x and select the larger value.
x = 2^2 = 4 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2^3 = 8. \text{ The larger value is } 8.
Converting back from yy to xx yields the final solutions for xx.
