Determine the area under the curve $y = 3x^2 - 3$ above the $x$ -axis between $x = 1$ and $x = 3$ .

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 20

Cevap

The area under the curve between

x = 1

and

x = 3

is 20 square units.

The area under the curve

y = 3x^2 - 3

from

x = 1

to

x = 3

is obtained by calculating the definite integral

\int_{1}^{3} (3x^2 - 3) \, dx = [x^3 - 3x]_{1}^{3} = (3^3 - 3(3)) - (1^3 - 3(1)) = 18 - (-2) = 20

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the definite integral representing the area under the curve.

A = \int_{1}^{3} (3x^2 - 3) \, dx

The area bounded by a non-negative curve

y = f(x)

, the

x

-axis, and vertical lines

x = a

and

x = b

is given by

\int_{a}^{b} f(x) \, dx

.

2

Integrate the polynomial function term by term.

\int (3x^2 - 3) \, dx = x^3 - 3x + C

Applying the power rule of integration:

\int 3x^2 dx = x^3

and

\int 3 dx = 3x

.

3

Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus by substituting the limits of integration.

[x^3 - 3x]_{1}^{3} = (3^3 - 3(3)) - (1^3 - 3(1)) = 18 - (-2) = 20

Evaluating

F(b) - F(a)

gives

(27 - 9) - (1 - 3) = 18 - (-2) = 20

Given that Planck's constant $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34}\text{ J}\cdot\text{s}$ , the speed of light $c = 3.0 \times 10^{8}\text{ m/s}$ , and the elementary charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}$ , what is the accelerating potential difference across the tube in kilovolts (kV)?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 30

Cevap

The accelerating potential difference across the X-ray tube is 30 kV.

By Duane-Hunt's law, the maximum energy of an emitted X-ray photon corresponds to the complete conversion of an electron's kinetic energy acquired across potential difference

V

:

e V = \frac{h c}{\lambda_{\text{min}}}

. Substituting

h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34}\text{ J}\cdot\text{s}

,

c = 3.0 \times 10^8\text{ m/s}

,

e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\text{ C}

, and

\lambda_{\text{min}} = 4.125 \times 10^{-11}\text{ m}

A beam balance measures the mass of a metal block as $15\text{ kg}$ on Earth. The block is then transported to a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is $3.8\text{ m s}^{-2}$ and suspended from a spring balance calibrated in newtons. If the spring balance has a positive zero error of $+2.0\text{ N}$ (reading $+2.0\text{ N}$ when unloaded), what is the displayed reading on the spring balance in newtons?

Cevap: 59

Cevap

The displayed reading on the spring balance is

59\text{ N}

.

The beam balance establishes that the block has a constant mass of

15\text{ kg}

. On the planet, the gravitational pull on this mass is

W = 15\text{ kg} \times 3.8\text{ m s}^{-2} = 57\text{ N}

. Because the spring balance reads

+2.0\text{ N}

when unloaded, suspending the block causes the pointer to register

57\text{ N} + 2.0\text{ N} = 59\text{ N}

.

Determine the true mass using beam balance principles

Mass

m = 15\text{ kg}

An equal-arm beam balance measures invariant scalar mass independently of local gravitational field strength.

2

Calculate the true weight on the planet

Weight

W = 57\text{ N}

Weight is the force of gravity acting on mass, calculated as

W = mg = 15\text{ kg} \times 3.8\text{ m s}^{-2} = 57\text{ N}

.

3

Incorporate the positive zero error to find the scale pointer reading

Displayed reading =

0.002 mol dm⁻³ s⁻¹

The average rate of decomposition of a reactant is calculated by dividing the decrease in its concentration by the elapsed time in seconds. Here, the concentration change is

\Delta C = 0.80 - 0.20 = 0.60\text{ mol dm}^{-3}

and the time in seconds is

5 \times 60 = 300\text{ s}

. Thus, the rate is

\frac{0.60}{300} = 0.002\text{ mol dm}^{-3}\text{s}^{-1}

.

1

Calculate the change in concentration of the reactant

\Delta [\text{N}_2\text{O}_5] = 0.80\text{ mol dm}^{-3} - 0.20\text{ mol dm}^{-3} = 0.60\text{ mol dm}^{-3}

The rate depends on the amount of reactant consumed during the reaction period.

Convert time from minutes to seconds

\Delta t = 5\text{ min} \times 60\text{ s/min} = 300\text{ s}

The requested unit is per second (

A specific tax of $\text{₦}80$ per unit is imposed on a market commodity. The price elasticity of demand for the commodity is $0.6$ , while its price elasticity of supply is $1.4$ . What is the tax burden per unit borne by the consumer in Naira?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 56

Cevap

The tax burden per unit borne by the consumer is 56 Naira.

The incidence of tax on consumers depends on relative elasticity. The formula for the consumer's burden is

T \times \frac{E_s}{E_d + E_s}

. Substituting the given values gives

80 \times \frac{1.4}{0.6 + 1.4} = 80 \times 0.7 = 56

Naira.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify given variables and elasticity values.

Tax per unit (

T

) =

\text{₦}80

, Price elasticity of demand (

E_d

) =

0.6

, Price elasticity of supply (

E_s

) =

1.4

These values determine the proportion of the tax burden shifted to buyers versus sellers.

2

Apply the tax incidence formula for the consumer's share.

\text{Consumer Share} = T \times \left( \frac{E_s}{E_d + E_s} \right)

Tax incidence on consumers is directly proportional to supply elasticity relative to the sum of demand and supply elasticities.

3

Compute the numerical value.

\text{Consumer Share} = 80 \times \left( \frac{1.4}{0.6 + 1.4} \right) = 80 \times 0.7 = 56

Multiplying the per-unit tax by the consumer incidence proportion yields the exact burden per unit in Naira.

6840 million Naira

To calculate Gross Domestic Product (GDP), first derive Gross National Product (GNP) by adding Capital Consumption Allowance (Depreciation) to Net National Product (NNP):

. Next, compute Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA) as factor income received from abroad minus factor income paid to foreigners:

\text{NFIA} = 320 - 510 = -190\text{ million Naira}

. Finally, apply the national accounting identity

\text{GNP} = \text{GDP} + \text{NFIA}

, rearranged as

\text{GDP} = \text{GNP} - \text{NFIA} = 6,650 - (-190) = 6,840\text{ million Naira}

.

1

Calculate Gross National Product (GNP) from Net National Product (NNP) and Depreciation

GNP = 6,200 + 450 = 6,650 million Naira

Gross aggregates include depreciation, whereas net aggregates exclude it:

\text{GNP} = \text{NNP} + \text{Depreciation}

.

2

Determine Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA)

NFIA = 320 - 510 = -190 million Naira

NFIA is defined as factor income earned from abroad by citizens minus factor income paid to foreign residents domestically.

3

Determine Gross Domestic Product (GDP) using GNP and NFIA

GDP = 6,650 - (-190) = 6,840 million Naira

Because

\text{GNP} = \text{GDP} + \text{NFIA}

, rearranging gives

\text{GDP} = \text{GNP} - \text{NFIA}

A specific indirect tax of $\text{₦}50$ per unit is levied on a commodity. If the price elasticity of demand for the commodity is $1.5$ and the price elasticity of supply is $0.5$ , how much of the tax per unit (in Naira) is borne by the producer?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 37.5

Cevap

The producer bears 37.5 Naira per unit of the tax burden.

The economic incidence of a specific tax depends on the relative price elasticities of demand (

E_d

) and supply (

E_s

). The producer's share per unit is calculated as

T \times \frac{E_d}{E_d + E_s}

. Substituting

T = 50

,

E_d = 1.5

, and

E_s = 0.5

yields

50 \times \frac{1.5}{2.0} = 37.5

Naira.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the tax incidence formula for the producer's share

Formula:

\text{Producer's Burden} = T \times \left(\frac{E_d}{E_d + E_s}\right)

Tax burden distribution between buyers and sellers depends inversely on their relative price elasticities.

2

Substitute the values into the equation

\text{Producer's Burden} = 50 \times \left(\frac{1.5}{1.5 + 0.5}\right) = 50 \times 0.75 = 37.5

With elastic demand (

Calculate the initial deposit amount

Initial deposit = ₦800,000

The deposit is 25% of the cash price of ₦3,200,000 (0.25 × 3,200,000 = 800,000).

2

Calculate the cumulative total of all monthly installment payments

Total installments = ₦2,700,000

10 monthly installments of ₦270,000 equal 10 × 270,000 = 2,700,000.

The value of the base

x

is 7.

Expanding

24_x

,

13_x

, and

345_x

into base 10 yields

(2x + 4)(x + 3) = 3x^2 + 4x + 5

. Expanding the left side gives

2x^2 + 10x + 12

. Equating and simplifying gives

x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0

, which factors as

(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0

. The positive integer solution greater than 5 is

x = 7

.

Convert all base

x

numbers to decimal (base 10) expressions.

24_x = 2x + 4

,

13_x = x + 3

, and

345_x = 3x^2 + 4x + 5

.

If $\log_2 (x - 1) + \log_4 (x - 1) + \log_{16} (x - 1) = \frac{7}{2}$ , what is the value of $x$ ?

The value of

5

.

Converting all terms to base 2 yields

\log_2(x-1) + \frac{1}{2}\log_2(x-1) + \frac{1}{4}\log_2(x-1) = \frac{7}{4}\log_2(x-1)

. Setting

\frac{7}{4}\log_2(x-1) = \frac{7}{2}

gives

\log_2(x-1) = 2

. Exponentiating both sides in base 2 gives

x - 1 = 2^2 = 4

, which results in

x = 5

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert each logarithmic term to base 2 using the change of base property.

\log_4(x-1) = \frac{1}{2}\log_2(x-1) \quad \text{and} \quad \log_{16}(x-1) = \frac{1}{4}\log_2(x-1)

Bases 4 and 16 are powers of 2 (

4 = 2^2

and

16 = 2^4

), allowing transformation to a common base.

2

Substitute these equivalent base-2 terms into the original equation.

\log_2(x-1) + \frac{1}{2}\log_2(x-1) + \frac{1}{4}\log_2(x-1) = \frac{7}{2}

This consolidates the equation into a single logarithmic variable,

\log_2(x-1)

.

3

Factor out

\log_2(x-1)

and add the fractional coefficients.

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

Summing the coefficients

1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{4}

.

4

Isolate

\log_2(x-1)

and solve for

x

.

\log_2(x-1) = 2 \implies x - 1 = 2^2 = 4 \implies x = 5

Multiplying both sides by

\frac{4}{7}

yields

\log_2(x-1) = 2

, and rewriting in exponential form gives

x = 5

.

Find the number of distinct arrangements of the letters of the word $\text{PARALLEL}$ such that no two letters $\text{'L'}$ are adjacent.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1200

Cevap

1200

To ensure no two letters 'L' are adjacent, we use the gap method. First, arrange the 5 non-L letters (P, A, R, A, E). Because 'A' repeats twice, there are 5! / 2! = 60 distinct arrangements. These 5 letters form 6 available gaps (including the ends). Selecting 3 of these 6 gaps to insert the 3 identical 'L's can be done in C(6, 3) = 20 ways. Multiplying these gives 60 × 20 = 1200 valid arrangements.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Count the frequency of each letter in the word PARALLEL.

The word has 8 letters: 1 P, 2 A's, 1 R, 3 L's, and 1 E.

Recognizing repeated elements is essential for permutations with duplicates.

2

Arrange the non-restricted letters (P, A, R, A, E).

Number of arrangements = 5! / 2! = 60.

The letter 'A' is repeated twice, so we divide 5! by 2!.

3

Calculate the number of available gaps for placing the 3 'L's so that no two are adjacent.

5 arranged letters create 6 gap positions. Choosing 3 gaps gives C(6, 3) = (6 × 5 × 4) / (3 × 2 × 1) = 20 ways.

Placing at most one 'L' per gap guarantees that no two 'L's will be adjacent.

4

Multiply the number of arrangements of non-L letters by the gap choices.

Total arrangements = 60 × 20 = 1200.

By the fundamental counting principle, total arrangements equal the product of independent choices.

Cevap

The value of

x

is 4.

Converting all terms to base 5 yields

5^{x+2}

on the left-hand side and

5^{2x-2}

on the right-hand side. Setting the exponents equal gives

x + 2 = 2x - 2

, which solves to

x = 4

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express all terms with a common base of 5

125 = 5^3

and

25 = 5^2

Converting terms to prime base 5 allows the application of standard laws of indices.

2

Simplify the fraction inside the square root

\frac{5^{3x+3}}{5^{x-1}} = 5^{(3x+3) - (x-1)} = 5^{2x+4}

Subtract the denominator exponent from the numerator exponent when dividing like bases.

3

Apply the square root as a fractional exponent

\sqrt{5^{2x+4}} = (5^{2x+4})^{1/2} = 5^{x+2}

Taking the square root of a power is equivalent to multiplying the exponent by 1/2.

4

Equate the simplified exponents of both sides

x + 2 = 2x - 2

With identical bases of 5 on both sides, the exponents must be equal.

5

Solve the linear equation for x

x = 4

Rearranging terms gives

2x - x = 2 + 2

, which yields

A function

f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x^2 + kx - 10}{x - 2}, & x \neq 2 \\ 7, & x = 2 \end{cases}

If

f(x)

is continuous at

x = 2

, what is the numerical value of the constant

k

?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3

Cevap

The numerical value of the constant

k

is 3.

By definition of continuity,

f(x)

is continuous at

x = 2

if

\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = f(2) = 7

. As

x \to 2

, the denominator

x - 2

approaches

0

. For the quotient to have a finite limit, the numerator

x^2 + kx - 10

must also evaluate to

0

at

x = 2

, yielding

2^2 + 2k - 10 = 0

. Solving this gives

2k = 6

, so

k = 3

. Substituting

k = 3

gives

\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x-2)(x+5)}{x-2} = 7

, confirming that

k = 3

is correct.

\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = f(2) = 7

A function

f(x)

is continuous at

x = a

if and only if

\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = f(a)

.

2

Set the numerator to zero at the point of discontinuity

x = 2

2^2 + k(2) - 10 = 0

Because the denominator

(x - 2) \to 0

as

x \to 2

, the limit can only exist if the numerator also approaches

0

, forming an indeterminate form

\frac{0}{0}

that can be simplified.

3

Solve for the unknown parameter

k

4 + 2k - 10 = 0 \implies 2k - 6 = 0 \implies k = 3

Linear algebraic equation solving.

Verify that the simplified limit equals

\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x^2 + 3x - 10}{x - 2} = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x - 2)(x + 5)}{x - 2} = \lim_{x \to 2} (x + 5) = 7

Canceling the common factor

(x - 2)

yields

7

, which matches

f(2) = 7

Cevap

The value of

x

that satisfies the equation is 2.

Rewriting the terms in base 10 gives

\frac{10^{2x+2}}{10^{3x-3}} = 10^{2x-1}

. Using the division rule of indices yields

10^{-x+5} = 10^{2x-1}

. Equating exponents gives

-x+5 = 2x-1

, which simplifies to

3x = 6

, so

x = 2

.

1

Convert each power to base 10

100^{x+1} = (10^2)^{x+1} = 10^{2x+2}

and

1000^{x-1} = (10^3)^{x-1} = 10^{3x-3}

Converting all non-prime composite bases to powers of a common fundamental base allows exponent comparison.

2

Apply the quotient rule of indices to the left side

\frac{10^{2x+2}}{10^{3x-3}} = 10^{(2x+2)-(3x-3)} = 10^{-x+5}

According to the index quotient law

\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}
