Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $135^\circ$

Cevap

The measure of angle

Q

is

135^\circ

.

Applying the Sine Rule gives

\sin Q = \frac{4\sqrt{2} \cdot \sin 30^\circ}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

. The acute reference angle is

45^\circ

, so the obtuse angle is

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

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Apply the Sine Rule to relate sides

p, q

and angles

P, Q

\frac{p}{\sin P} = \frac{q}{\sin Q} \implies \frac{4}{\sin 30^\circ} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\sin Q}

The Sine Rule connects pairs of opposite sides and angles in any triangle.

2

Solve for

\sin Q

\sin Q = \frac{4\sqrt{2} \cdot \sin 30^\circ}{4} = \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Substitute

\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}

and simplify the numerical expression.

3

Determine the obtuse solution for angle

Q

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

Since

\sin Q = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

, the principal acute angle is

45^\circ

. Because the problem specifies that angle

Q

is obtuse (

90^\circ < Q < 180^\circ

), we take its supplement.

\frac{5 - \sqrt{15}}{2}

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $\frac{5 + \sqrt{15}}{2}$

Cevap

\frac{5 + \sqrt{15}}{2}

To rationalize the denominator of

\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}

, multiply both numerator and denominator by the conjugate

\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}

. The numerator becomes

\sqrt{5}(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}) = 5 + \sqrt{15}

and the denominator becomes

(\sqrt{5})^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 = 5 - 3 = 2

, yielding

\frac{5 + \sqrt{15}}{2}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the conjugate of the denominator

The conjugate of

\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}

is

\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}

.

Multiplying a binomial surd by its conjugate eliminates the radical terms in the denominator using the difference of two squares identity

(a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2

.

2

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate

\frac{\sqrt{5}(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})}{(\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})}

Multiplying the fraction by

\frac{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}}

is equivalent to multiplying by

1

, preserving the value of the expression.

3

Expand the numerator and simplify the denominator

Numerator:

\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{3} = 5 + \sqrt{15}

. Denominator:

(\sqrt{5})^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 = 5 - 3 = 2

.

Applying the distributive law to the numerator and difference of squares to the denominator simplifies both parts.

4

Combine the simplified numerator and denominator

\frac{5 + \sqrt{15}}{2}

This is the simplified rationalized form.

Cevap: $18.0$

Cevap

The interquartile range of the distribution is

18.0

.

The lower quartile (

Q_1

) corresponds to the

15^{\text{th}}

rank, which is exactly

29.5

. The upper quartile (

Q_3

) corresponds to the

45^{\text{th}}

rank, which interpolates to

47.5

. Subtracting

Q_1

from

Q_3

yields

47.5 - 29.5 = 18.0

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Construct the cumulative frequency distribution table with upper class boundaries.

Class intervals, upper class boundaries (

UCB

), frequencies (

f

), and cumulative frequencies (

cf

):
-

10 - 19

:

UCB = 19.5

,

f = 5

,

cf = 5

-

20 - 29

:

UCB = 29.5

,

f = 10

cf = 15

-

30 - 39

UCB = 39.5

,

f = 18

,

cf = 33

40 - 49

:

UCB = 49.5

,

f = 15

,

cf = 48

-

50 - 59

:

UCB = 59.5

,

f = 12

,

cf = 60

Cumulative frequencies and upper class boundaries are necessary to determine quartile ranks and values.

2

Find the lower quartile (

Q_1

).

The position of

Q_1

is

\frac{1}{4} N = \frac{1}{4}(60) = 15^{\text{th}}

candidate score. Since the cumulative frequency reaching

UCB = 29.5

is exactly

15

,

Q_1 = 29.5

.

The 15th value lies precisely at the upper class boundary of the

20 - 29

class interval.

3

Find the upper quartile (

Q_3

) using linear interpolation.

The position of

Q_3

is

\frac{3}{4} N = \frac{3}{4}(60) = 45^{\text{th}}

score.
This falls in the

40 - 49

class interval (

UCB = 49.5

, lower boundary

L = 39.5

,

f = 15

, previous

cf = 33

).

Q_3 = L + \left(\frac{\frac{3N}{4} - cf_{\text{prev}}}{f}\right) \times c = 39.5 + \left(\frac{45 - 33}{15}\right) \times 10 = 39.5 + 8.0 = 47.5

.

Linear interpolation calculates the exact position within the target class interval.

4

Calculate the Interquartile Range (IQR).

\text{IQR} = Q_3 - Q_1 = 47.5 - 29.5 = 18.0

.

The interquartile range is defined as the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile.

Cevap: 7

Cevap

The correct value of

a + b

is 7.

Multiplying by the conjugate

(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3})

reduces the denominator to

18 - 12 = 6

and expands the numerator to

30 + 12\sqrt{6}

. Dividing by 6 yields

5 + 2\sqrt{6}

, giving

a = 5

and

b = 2

, which sums to 7.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator,

(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3})

.

\frac{(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3})(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3})}{(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3})(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3})}

Rationalizing eliminates the surd terms from the denominator using the difference of two squares.

2

Expand both numerator and denominator.

Denominator:

(3\sqrt{2})^2 - (2\sqrt{3})^2 = 18 - 12 = 6

. Numerator:

(3\sqrt{2})^2 + 2(3\sqrt{2})(2\sqrt{3}) + (2\sqrt{3})^2 = 18 + 12\sqrt{6} + 12 = 30 + 12\sqrt{6}

.

Apply algebraic identities

(x-y)(x+y) = x^2 - y^2

and

(x+y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2

.

3

Divide the numerator by the denominator to simplify the expression.

\frac{30 + 12\sqrt{6}}{6} = 5 + 2\sqrt{6}

Both integer and radical coefficients are divisible by 6.

4

Equate

5 + 2\sqrt{6}

to

a + b\sqrt{6}

and calculate

a + b

.

a = 5, b = 2, so a + b = 5 + 2 = 7.

Cevap

The maximum integer value of

m

is

5

.

For the quadratic expression

x^2 - mx + 9

to remain strictly positive for all real values of

x

, the quadratic curve must lie completely above the x-axis. Because the coefficient of

x^2

is positive (

1 > 0

), this requires the discriminant to be strictly negative (

D < 0

). Evaluating

b^2 - 4ac < 0

The sum of the first three terms of an arithmetic progression (AP) with a positive common difference $d$ is $21$ . If $2$ is added to the first term, $3$ is added to the second term, and $9$ is added to the third term, the resulting three numbers form consecutive terms of a geometric progression (GP). What is the sum of the first $10$ terms of this arithmetic progression?

Cevap: 210

Cevap

The sum of the first 10 terms of the arithmetic progression is 210.

Representing the AP terms as

7-d, 7, 7+d

and adding the specified values produces GP terms

9-d, 10, 16+d

. Solving

10^2 = (9-d)(16+d)

yields

d=4

. Consequently, the first term of the AP is

3

. Using

S_{10} = \frac{10}{2}[2(3) + 9(4)]

gives the final answer 210.

The middle term is

a = 7

, making the terms

7-d

Choosing terms

a-d, a, a+d

allows the sum equation

3a = 21

to directly isolate the middle term.

The GP terms are

9-d

in the linear congruence

5x \equiv 2 \pmod{11}

, multiply both sides by the modular inverse of 5.

2

Solve for x modulo 11

x \equiv 2 \times 9 = 18 \equiv 7 \pmod{11}

.

Simplifying 18 modulo 11 gives the canonical value of

x

.

3

Evaluate

x^3 - 4x

modulo 11

x^3 \equiv 7^3 = 343 \equiv 2 \pmod{11}

and

4x \equiv 4(7) = 28 \equiv 6 \pmod{11}

, so

x^3 - 4x \equiv 2 - 6 = -4 \pmod{11}

.

Substitute

x \equiv 7

into the polynomial expression and reduce each term modulo 11.

In $\Delta ABC$ , the side lengths are given as $a = 3\text{ cm}$ , $b = 5\text{ cm}$ , and $c = 7\text{ cm}$ . What is the measure of angle $C$ in degrees?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 120

Cevap

The measure of angle

C

is

120^\circ

.

Using the Cosine Rule

\cos C = \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab}

, substituting

a=3

,

b=5

, and

c=7

yields

\cos C = \frac{9 + 25 - 49}{30} = -0.5

. Taking the inverse cosine of

-0.5

gives an angle of

120^\circ

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Select the appropriate formula for calculating an interior angle given three sides (SSS).

Use the Cosine Rule rearranged for

\cos C

:

\cos C = \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab}

.

When all three side lengths of a non-right triangle are known, the Cosine Rule is required to find any of its angles.

2

Substitute side lengths

a=3

,

b=5

, and

c=7

into the Cosine Rule equation.

\cos C = \frac{3^2 + 5^2 - 7^2}{2(3)(5)} = \frac{9 + 25 - 49}{30} = -\frac{15}{30} = -0.5.

Simplifying the numerator and denominator determines the exact trigonometric ratio for angle

C

.

3

Find the inverse cosine of

-0.5

in degrees.

C = \arccos(-0.5) = 120^\circ.

A negative cosine value indicates an obtuse angle in the second quadrant (

90^\circ < C < 180^\circ

).

Complete the sentence below by filling in the blanks with the appropriate prepositions.

Aşağıdaki boşlukları doldurun

Rather than supporting the organization's overarching mission, the project manager's controversial proposal was deemed inimical long-term institutional stability and executed in total defiance established policy.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The first blank requires 'to' (inimical to) and the second blank requires 'of' (in defiance of).

The correct prepositions are 'to' and 'of'. The formal adjective 'inimical' requires the dependent preposition 'to' (e.g., 'inimical to growth'). The multi-word prepositional idiom indicating open resistance is fixed as 'in defiance of'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the dependent preposition required by the adjective 'inimical'.

The adjective 'inimical' strictly takes the preposition 'to' when describing something adverse or harmful.

In standard English grammar, adjectives expressing hostility or opposition take specific prepositional complements ('inimical to').

2

Identify the standard preposition completing the complex prepositional phrase 'in defiance _____'.

The correct fixed prepositional expression is 'in defiance of'.

The noun 'defiance' in this idiomatic phrase collocates specifically with 'of' to signify disregard or resistance.

The set of numbers $k - 2$ , $k$ , $k + 1$ , and $k + 5$ is given, where $k$ is any real constant. What is the variance of this set of numbers?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 6.5

Cevap

The variance of the given set of numbers is 6.5.

The mean of the set is

\bar{x} = k + 1

. Subtracting the mean from each data point gives deviations of

-3

,

-1

,

0

, and

4

. The squares of these deviations are

9

,

1

,

0

, and

16

, which sum to

26

. Dividing this sum by

4

gives a variance of

6.5

. A key statistical property illustrated here is that adding or subtracting a constant

k

from every value in a dataset shifts the mean by

k

but leaves measures of dispersion (such as variance and standard deviation) unchanged.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the mean (\bar{x}) of the given set {k - 2, k, k + 1, k + 5}.

\bar{x} = \frac{(k - 2) + k + (k + 1) + (k + 5)}{4} = \frac{4k + 4}{4} = k + 1

The mean is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the total count of numbers.

2

Determine the deviation of each value from the mean, (x_i - \bar{x}).

(k - 2) - (k + 1) = -3, k - (k + 1) = -1, (k + 1) - (k + 1) = 0, (k + 5) - (k + 1) = 4

Deviations measure how far each data value lies from the mean.

3

Square each individual deviation and sum the results.

(-3)^2 + (-1)^2 + 0^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 1 + 0 + 16 = 26

Squaring converts all deviations into non-negative values.

4

Divide the sum of squared deviations by the total number of observations (N = 4) to find the variance.

\text{Variance} = \frac{26}{4} = 6.5

Variance is defined as the arithmetic mean of the squared deviations from the mean.

The $2^{\text{nd}}$ , $5^{\text{th}}$ , and $14^{\text{th}}$ terms of a non-constant arithmetic progression (A.P.) form three consecutive terms of a geometric progression (G.P.). If the first term of the A.P. is $3$ , what is the sum of the first $6$ terms of the A.P.?

Cevap: 108

Cevap

108

With first term

a=3

, the terms

T_2 = 3+d

,

T_5 = 3+4d

, and

T_{14} = 3+13d

form a geometric progression. Therefore,

(3+4d)^2 = (3+d)(3+13d)

. Expanding gives

9 + 24d + 16d^2 = 9 + 42d + 13d^2

, which simplifies to

3d^2 - 18d = 0

. Since the sequence is non-constant (

d \neq 0

),

d = 6

. Using the A.P. sum formula

S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]

,

S_6 = 3[2(3) + 5(6)] = 3[6 + 30] = 108

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the

2^{\text{nd}}

,

5^{\text{th}}

, and

14^{\text{th}}

terms of the A.P. in terms of the first term

a=3

and common difference

d

.

T_2 = 3 + d

,

T_5 = 3 + 4d

, and

T_{14} = 3 + 13d

.

The

n^{\text{th}}

term of an A.P. is given by

T_n = a + (n-1)d

.

2

Set up the condition for consecutive terms of a G.P. and solve for

d

.

(3 + 4d)^2 = (3 + d)(3 + 13d) \implies 9 + 24d + 16d^2 = 9 + 42d + 13d^2 \implies 3d^2 - 18d = 0 \implies d = 6

.

For consecutive terms in a G.P., the middle term squared equals the product of the adjacent terms (

T_5^2 = T_2 \times T_{14}

).

3

Calculate the sum of the first

6

terms of the A.P. using

a=3

and

d=6

.

S_6 = \frac{6}{2}[2(3) + (6-1)(6)] = 3[6 + 30] = 3 \times 36 = 108

.

The sum formula for an A.P. is

S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]

.
