Two capacitors with capacitances of 10 μF10\text{ }\mu\text{F} and 15 μF15\text{ }\mu\text{F} are connected in parallel. What is the equivalent capacitance of the combination in microfarads (μF\mu\text{F})?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 25

Cevap

The equivalent capacitance of the parallel combination is 25 μF25\text{ }\mu\text{F}.
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total equivalent capacitance is equal to the direct sum of the individual capacitances: Ceq=C1+C2=10 μF+15 μF=25 μFC_{\text{eq}} = C_1 + C_2 = 10\text{ }\mu\text{F} + 15\text{ }\mu\text{F} = 25\text{ }\mu\text{F}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the relationship for parallel capacitors
Ceq=C1+C2C_{\text{eq}} = C_1 + C_2
Capacitors connected in parallel store charge independently across the same potential difference, so their capacitances add directly.
2
Substitute the given values into the formula
Ceq=10 μF+15 μFC_{\text{eq}} = 10\text{ }\mu\text{F} + 15\text{ }\mu\text{F}
The circuit contains two capacitors of 10 μF10\text{ }\mu\text{F} and 15 μF15\text{ }\mu\text{F} in parallel.
3
Calculate the total capacitance
25 μF25\text{ }\mu\text{F}
Simple addition of the two values yields 25 μF25\text{ }\mu\text{F}.

A businesswoman invested 50,000\text{₦}50,000 in a financial fund. Part of the money was invested at a simple interest rate of 6%6\% per annum, and the remaining part was invested at 8%8\% simple interest per annum. If the total interest earned at the end of 11 year was 3,600\text{₦}3,600, what was the amount, in Naira, invested at the 8%8\% interest rate?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 30000

Cevap

The amount invested at the 8%8\% interest rate is 30,000\text{₦}30,000.
Setting up the linear equation for annual simple interest gives 0.06(50,000x)+0.08x=3,6000.06(50,000 - x) + 0.08x = 3,600. Simplifying this yields 3,000+0.02x=3,6003,000 + 0.02x = 3,600, which solves to x=30,000x = 30,000. Thus, 30,000\text{₦}30,000 was invested at 8%8\%.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define variables for the two investment amounts.
Let xx be the amount in Naira invested at 8%8\%, so (50,000x)(50,000 - x) is the amount invested at 6%6\%.
The total capital of 50,000\text{₦}50,000 is split into two distinct portions.
2
Formulate the total interest expression using the simple interest formula I=P×R×T100I = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}.
6100(50,000x)+8100x=3,600\frac{6}{100}(50,000 - x) + \frac{8}{100}x = 3,600
The sum of annual interests from both parts equals the total interest earned of 3,600\text{₦}3,600.
3
Expand the terms and solve the linear equation for xx.
3,000+0.02x=3,600    0.02x=600    x=30,0003,000 + 0.02x = 3,600 \implies 0.02x = 600 \implies x = 30,000
Isolating xx yields the exact principal amount allocated to the 8%8\% interest rate.

A farmer bought a motorcycle for 250,000\text{₦}250,000 and later sold it at a profit of 12%12\%. What is the selling price of the motorcycle in Naira?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 280000

Cevap

The selling price of the motorcycle is ₦280,000.
The cost price of the motorcycle is 250,000\text{₦}250,000. A profit of 12%12\% means an additional 12100×250,000=30,000\frac{12}{100} \times 250,000 = \text{₦}30,000. Adding this profit to the cost price gives a selling price of 250,000+30,000=280,000\text{₦}250,000 + \text{₦}30,000 = \text{₦}280,000.

If 5+353535+3=k15\frac{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}} - \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} = k\sqrt{15}, find the value of kk.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2

Cevap

The value of kk is 22.
Combining the fractions gives a common denominator of (53)(5+3)=53=2(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}) = 5-3 = 2. Expanding the numerator gives (8+215)(8215)=415(8+2\sqrt{15}) - (8-2\sqrt{15}) = 4\sqrt{15}. Dividing by 2 yields 2152\sqrt{15}, giving k=2k = 2.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Combine the fractions on the left-hand side over a common denominator.
(5+3)2(53)2(53)(5+3)\frac{(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})^2 - (\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3})^2}{(\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})}
Combining two fractions with conjugate denominators simplifies the expression.
2
Evaluate the denominator using the difference of two squares formula (ab)(a+b)=a2b2(a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2.
(\sqrt{5})^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 = 5 - 3 = 2
Multiplying conjugate surds eliminates the radical signs in the denominator.
3
Expand both squared terms in the numerator and subtract them.
(8 + 2\sqrt{15}) - (8 - 2\sqrt{15}) = 4\sqrt{15}
Expanding (a±b)2=a2±2ab+b2(a \pm b)^2 = a^2 \pm 2ab + b^2 gives 5±215+3=8±2155 \pm 2\sqrt{15} + 3 = 8 \pm 2\sqrt{15}.
4
Divide the resulting numerator by the denominator and solve for kk.
\frac{4\sqrt{15}}{2} = 2\sqrt{15} \Rightarrow k = 2
Dividing 4154\sqrt{15} by 22 yields 2152\sqrt{15}, so matching the coefficients gives k=2k = 2.

The derivative evaluated at x=0x = 0 is 4.
Differentiating y=e3xcos(2x)+ln(x+1)y = e^{3x}\cos(2x) + \ln(x + 1) with respect to xx yields dydx=3e3xcos(2x)2e3xsin(2x)+1x+1\frac{dy}{dx} = 3e^{3x}\cos(2x) - 2e^{3x}\sin(2x) + \frac{1}{x+1}. Evaluating this derivative at x=0x = 0 gives 3(1)(1)2(1)(0)+1=43(1)(1) - 2(1)(0) + 1 = 4.

By the product rule ddx(uv)=uv+uv\frac{d}{dx}(uv) = u'v + uv', where ddx(e3x)=3e3x\frac{d}{dx}(e^{3x}) = 3e^{3x} and ddx(cos(2x))=2sin(2x)\frac{d}{dx}(\cos(2x)) = -2\sin(2x).
2
Differentiate the logarithmic term v(x)=ln(x+1)v(x) = \ln(x + 1).
dvdx=1x+1\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1}{x + 1}
The derivative of ln(g(x))\ln(g(x)) is g(x)g(x)\frac{g'(x)}{g(x)}.

A convex polygon has 4444 diagonals. What is the total number of distinct triangles that can be formed by joining any three vertices of this polygon?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 165

Cevap

165
The number of diagonals of an nn-sided convex polygon is given by (n2)n=n(n3)2\binom{n}{2} - n = \frac{n(n-3)}{2}. Setting this equal to 4444 yields n(n3)=88n(n-3) = 88, which simplifies to n23n88=0n^2 - 3n - 88 = 0. Factoring gives (n11)(n+8)=0(n-11)(n+8) = 0, so n=11n = 11. The total number of distinct triangles formed by choosing any 3 vertices from an 11-sided polygon is (113)=11×10×93×2×1=165\binom{11}{3} = \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up the equation for the number of diagonals in terms of the number of vertices nn
n(n3)2=44\frac{n(n-3)}{2} = 44
Choosing any 2 vertices from nn vertices gives (n2)\binom{n}{2} total connecting line segments. Subtracting the nn boundary sides leaves the diagonals.
2
Solve the quadratic equation for nn
n^2 - 3n - 88 = 0 \implies (n-11)(n+8) = 0 \implies n = 11
A polygon must have a positive integer number of vertices, so n=11n = 11.
3
Compute the number of distinct triangles using combinations
\binom{11}{3} = \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165
In a convex polygon, no three vertices are collinear, so every unique combination of 3 vertices forms a distinct triangle.

Cevap: 6

Cevap

The value of p+qp + q is 6.
Rationalising each fraction yields (213)(\sqrt{21} - 3) and (7+21)(7 + \sqrt{21}). Summing these expressions gives 4+2214 + 2\sqrt{21}. Comparing this to p+q21p + q\sqrt{21} yields p=4p = 4 and q=2q = 2, so p+q=6p + q = 6.

1
Rationalise the first term 437+3\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{3}} by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate (73)(\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{3}).
\frac{4\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{3})}{(\sqrt{7})^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2} = \frac{4\sqrt{21} - 12}{7 - 3} = \frac{4\sqrt{21} - 12}{4} = \sqrt{21} - 3
Multiplying by the conjugate eliminates the surd from the denominator using the difference of two squares.
2
Rationalise the second term 4773\frac{4\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{3}} by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate (7+3)(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{3}).
\frac{4\sqrt{7}(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{3})}{(\sqrt{7})^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2} = \frac{28 + 4\sqrt{21}}{7 - 3} = \frac{28 + 4\sqrt{21}}{4} = 7 + \sqrt{21}
Conjugate rationalisation simplifies the second fraction into linear surd terms.
3
Add the two simplified expressions together and equate to p+q21p + q\sqrt{21}.
(\sqrt{21} - 3) + (7 + \sqrt{21}) = 4 + 2\sqrt{21}
Combining like surd terms yields the simplified form p+q21p + q\sqrt{21}.
4
Identify the values of pp and qq and evaluate p+qp + q.
p = 4, q = 2 \implies p + q = 4 + 2 = 6
Equating the rational parts gives p=4p = 4 and the irrational coefficients gives q=2q = 2.

A mechanical longitudinal wave of frequency 250 Hz250\text{ Hz} propagates from Medium 1 into Medium 2. In Medium 1, the distance between two consecutive compressions is 1.40 m1.40\text{ m}. Upon entering Medium 2, the wave speed increases by 40%40\%. What is the distance, in meters, between a compression and the immediately adjacent rarefaction in Medium 2?

Cevap: 0.98

Cevap

The distance between a compression and the adjacent rarefaction in Medium 2 is 0.98 m0.98\text{ m}.
When a mechanical wave travels between media, its frequency remains unchanged. The wave speed equation v=fλv = f\lambda indicates that wavelength is directly proportional to wave speed. A 40%40\% increase in speed increases the wavelength in Medium 2 from 1.40 m1.40\text{ m} to 1.40×1.40 m=1.96 m1.40 \times 1.40\text{ m} = 1.96\text{ m}. In a longitudinal wave, the distance between a compression and an adjacent rarefaction is half a wavelength, yielding 1.96 m2=0.98 m\frac{1.96\text{ m}}{2} = 0.98\text{ m}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

λ2=1.40×1.40 m=1.96 m\lambda_2 = 1.40 \times 1.40\text{ m} = 1.96\text{ m}
The frequency of a wave is determined by the source and does not change upon entering a new medium. Since v=fλv = f\lambda, a 40%40\% increase in wave speed results in a proportional 40%40\% increase in wavelength.

Vessel AA is located 15 km15\text{ km} from OO on a bearing of 070070^\circ, while Vessel BB is located 20 km20\text{ km} from OO on a bearing of 160160^\circ. What is the direct distance between Vessel AA and Vessel BB in kilometers?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 25

Cevap

The direct distance between Vessel A and Vessel B is 25 km.
The difference between the two bearings (160070=90160^\circ - 070^\circ = 90^\circ) establishes that triangle AOBAOB is a right-angled triangle at station OO. Applying Pythagoras' theorem yields AB=152+202=225+400=625=25 kmAB = \sqrt{15^2 + 20^2} = \sqrt{225 + 400} = \sqrt{625} = 25\text{ km}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the angle between the lines of sight to the two vessels
\angle AOB = 160^\circ - 070^\circ = 90^\circ
Subtracting the smaller bearing angle from the larger bearing angle from the same origin point gives the included angle.
2
Set up the equation for distance AB using Pythagoras' theorem
AB^2 = 15^2 + 20^2 = 225 + 400 = 625
Since the included angle is 90 degrees, the three points form a right-angled triangle where AB is the hypotenuse.
3
Calculate the principal square root of 625
AB = \sqrt{625} = 25\text{ km}
Taking the square root converts the squared distance into the direct linear distance between the vessels.

Calculate the area of the finite region bounded by the parabola y=3x212x+9y = 3x^2 - 12x + 9 and the xx-axis.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The area of the bounded region is 4 square units.
Finding the x-intercepts of y=3x212x+9y = 3x^2 - 12x + 9 gives x=1x = 1 and x=3x = 3. Integrating y-y from 11 to 33 gives [x3+6x29x]13=0(4)=4\left[-x^3 + 6x^2 - 9x\right]_{1}^{3} = 0 - (-4) = 4 square units.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the limits of integration by finding the x-intercepts of the curve.
x=1x = 1 and x=3x = 3
The bounded region lies between the points where the curve intersects the x-axis (y=0y = 0).
2
Set up the definite integral with the correct integrand sign.
A=13(912x+3x2)dx=13(3x2+12x9)dxA = \int_{1}^{3} (9 - 12x + 3x^2) \, dx = \int_{1}^{3} (-3x^2 + 12x - 9) \, dx
Since y0y \le 0 on [1,3][1, 3], negating the function ensures the calculated area is positive.
3
Integrate term-by-term and evaluate between upper limit 3 and lower limit 1.
[x3+6x29x]13=(0)(4)=4\left[-x^3 + 6x^2 - 9x\right]_{1}^{3} = (0) - (-4) = 4
Applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus yields the exact value of 4.

A line segment joins the points A(1,4)A(1, 4) and B(7,10)B(7, 10). Point PP divides the line segment ABAB internally in the ratio 1:21:2. A second line L2L_2 passes through PP and is perpendicular to ABAB. If line L2L_2 intersects the y-axis at the point (0,k)(0, k), find the value of kk.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9

Cevap

The value of k is 9.
Using the section formula for internal division in a 1:2 ratio, the coordinates of point P are found to be (3, 6). The gradient of the segment AB is 1, which means the perpendicular line L_2 has a gradient of -1. Writing the equation of line L_2 passing through (3, 6) yields y = -x + 9. Evaluating at x = 0 gives the y-intercept k = 9.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the coordinates of point P dividing segment AB internally in the ratio 1:2.
P = (3, 6)
Using the section formula x = (m x_2 + n x_1) / (m + n) and y = (m y_2 + n y_1) / (m + n) with ratio m:n = 1:2.
2
Calculate the gradient m_1 of the line segment AB.
m_1 = 1
Applying the gradient formula m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1) gives (10 - 4) / (7 - 1) = 1.
3
Determine the gradient m_2 of the perpendicular line L_2.
m_2 = -1
Perpendicular lines satisfy m_1 * m_2 = -1, hence m_2 = -1 / 1 = -1.
4
Find the equation of line L_2 passing through P(3, 6) with gradient -1.
y = -x + 9
Using point-slope form y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) yields y - 6 = -1(x - 3).
5
Determine the y-intercept value k by setting x = 0.
k = 9
Substituting x = 0 into y = -x + 9 gives y = 9.

Five of the interior angles of a convex polygon are each equal to 140140^\circ, while the remaining interior angles are each equal to 160160^\circ. Calculate the number of sides of the polygon.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 13

Cevap

The number of sides of the polygon is 13.
Each 140140^\circ interior angle has an exterior angle of 4040^\circ, contributing 5×40=2005 \times 40^\circ = 200^\circ to the exterior angle sum. Each 160160^\circ interior angle has an exterior angle of 2020^\circ, contributing (n5)×20(n - 5) \times 20^\circ. Since the sum of exterior angles of any convex polygon is 360360^\circ, setting 200+20(n5)=360200 + 20(n - 5) = 360 yields 20n=26020n = 260, giving n=13n = 13.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the exterior angle measures
The exterior angles are 180140=40180^\circ - 140^\circ = 40^\circ (for 5 vertices) and 180160=20180^\circ - 160^\circ = 20^\circ (for the remaining n5n - 5 vertices).
Interior and exterior angles at each vertex of a polygon form a linear pair and sum to 180180^\circ.
2
Apply the sum of exterior angles property
5(40)+(n5)(20)=3605(40^\circ) + (n - 5)(20^\circ) = 360^\circ.
The sum of exterior angles of any convex polygon is always constant and equal to 360360^\circ.
3
Solve the linear equation for nn
200+20n100=360    20n=260    n=13200 + 20n - 100 = 360 \implies 20n = 260 \implies n = 13.

Two identical positive point charges, each of magnitude q=+2.5×106 Cq = +2.5 \times 10^{-6}\text{ C}, are fixed in a vacuum at a distance of 0.60 m0.60\text{ m} apart. A third point charge q0=+1.0×106 Cq_0 = +1.0 \times 10^{-6}\text{ C} is placed on the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the two fixed charges, at a distance of 0.40 m0.40\text{ m} from their midpoint. Taking Coulomb's constant k=9.0×109 N m2 C2k = 9.0 \times 10^9\text{ N m}^2\text{ C}^{-2}, what is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force acting on the third charge, in newtons?

Cevap: 0.144

Cevap

The magnitude of the net electrostatic force acting on the third charge is 0.144 N0.144\text{ N}.
Each fixed charge exerts an equal repulsive electrostatic force of 0.09 N0.09\text{ N} on the third charge. Due to the symmetrical arrangement, the force components perpendicular to the bisector cancel each other out, while the parallel components add together, giving a net force of 2×0.09×0.8=0.144 N2 \times 0.09 \times 0.8 = 0.144\text{ N}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the distance from each fixed charge to the third charge
r=0.50 mr = 0.50\text{ m}
The charges form a right-angled triangle with base 0.30 m0.30\text{ m} (half of 0.60 m0.60\text{ m}) and height 0.40 m0.40\text{ m}, yielding a hypotenuse of 0.302+0.402=0.50 m\sqrt{0.30^2 + 0.40^2} = 0.50\text{ m}.
2
Calculate the magnitude of the individual repulsive force from one charge
F=0.09 NF = 0.09\text{ N}
Applying Coulomb's law: F=kqq0r2=9.0×109×2.5×106×1.0×1060.25=0.09 NF = \frac{k q q_0}{r^2} = \frac{9.0 \times 10^9 \times 2.5 \times 10^{-6} \times 1.0 \times 10^{-6}}{0.25} = 0.09\text{ N}.
3
Determine directional component of forces along the perpendicular bisector
cosθ=0.8\cos\theta = 0.8
The directional cosine along the axis of symmetry is the ratio of the adjacent side (0.40 m0.40\text{ m}) to the hypotenuse (0.50 m0.50\text{ m}).
4
Compute the net electrostatic force using vector addition
Fnet=0.144 NF_{\text{net}} = 0.144\text{ N}
Horizontal components cancel by symmetry, so Fnet=2Fcosθ=2×0.09×0.8=0.144 NF_{\text{net}} = 2 F \cos\theta = 2 \times 0.09 \times 0.8 = 0.144\text{ N}.

Find the sum of all integer values of xx that satisfy both the linear inequality 2x132x - 1 \ge 3 and the quadratic inequality x25x140x^2 - 5x - 14 \le 0.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 27

Cevap

The sum of all integer values of xx satisfying both inequalities is 2727.
Solving the linear inequality 2x132x - 1 \ge 3 yields x2x \ge 2. Solving the quadratic inequality x25x140x^2 - 5x - 14 \le 0 by factoring gives (x7)(x+2)0(x - 7)(x + 2) \le 0, which defines the interval 2x7-2 \le x \le 7. Taking the intersection of x2x \ge 2 and 2x7-2 \le x \le 7 gives 2x72 \le x \le 7. The integer values satisfying this range are 2,3,4,5,6,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 77, and their sum is 2727.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Solve the linear inequality
2x4    x22x \ge 4 \implies x \ge 2
Adding 1 to both sides and dividing by 2 isolates the variable xx.
2
Factor and solve the quadratic inequality
(x7)(x+2)0    2x7(x - 7)(x + 2) \le 0 \implies -2 \le x \le 7
The roots of the quadratic equation are x=7x = 7 and x=2x = -2. The parabola opens upward, so the expression is non-positive between the roots.
3
Determine the intersection of both solution sets
2x72 \le x \le 7
The values of xx must simultaneously satisfy x2x \ge 2 and 2x7-2 \le x \le 7.
4
List all integer solutions within the valid interval
x{2,3,4,5,6,7}x \in \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}
These are all the whole numbers contained in the closed interval [2,7][2, 7].
5
Sum the integer solutions
2+3+4+5+6+7=272 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 27
Summing the identified integer values yields the final required numerical answer.
