  1. 10. the integration of 4x+k is 4x2/2+kx=1
    between the boundaries of 2 and 1
    [2(2)2+k(2)]-{2(1)2+k(1)]=1
    [2(4)+k(2)]-[2+k]=1
    [8+2k]-[2+k]=1

  2. since the region is between -1 and 1/
    so that there is no complications i would seperate it into two sections.
    therefor the regions would be between -1 and 0
    and 0 and 1.

    the integratio of 4-x^2 is
    4x-x^3/3
    so between -1 and o the area is
    [4(0)-(0)^3/3]-[4(-1)-(-1)^3/3)
    =11/3 units^2

    for the second section
    0 and 1
    [4(0)-(0)^3/3]-[4(1)-(1)^3/3]
    =11/3units^2
    so total area=11/3+11/3
    =22/3 units^2

  3. 12. integrate v to get rate and to fine the rate at 5 sec sub t=s in the integration.
    (20-t)^3
    integration=
    (20-t)^4/80
    therefor at t=5
    =
    (20-5)^4/80
    (15)^4/80
    50624/80
    =632.81

    3y-x+6=0
    3y=x-6
    y=1/3x-6/3
    y=1/3x-2

    the grad=1/3

    the y-intercept is at x=0
    y=1/3(0)-2
    y=2
    the y-intercept is 2

  5. 14. the quadratic could not of been factorized . si i used the quadratic equation
    -b+/-(sqrt(-b2-4ac)/2a
    where b=-4
    a=2
    c=1
    therefore
    =-(-4)+/-(sqrt((-4)2-4(2)(1))/2(2)
    =4+/-(sqrt(16-8)/4
    =4+/-(2.828)/4
    therefore
    =4+(2.828)/4 and =4-(2.828)/4
    =1.707 =0.293
    therefore x=1.707 and=0.293

  6. length = c
    width=c-2
    area= length * width
    area=(c)(c-2)
    area= c^2-2c

    since the area =15
    therefore
    c^2-2c=15
    c^2-2c-15=0
    factorizing
    (c+3)(c-5)
    therefore
    c= -3 or 5
    when c=-3 the area is not 15 therefore c is not -3
    c=5 units

    length =5units
    width=5-2=3 units

  8. question 15.
    3p + 2r = 7

    solving simultaneously
    adding them together
    3p+2p+ 2r+-2r=7+11

    5p=18
    p=18/5=3.6

    3p + 2r = 7
    3(3.6)+2r=7

  10. Question 14
    a) The width is
    w=(c-2) where c is the length,and w is 2 times smaller than l

    b) Area=l*w
    =c*(c-2)
    =c^2-2c

    ReplyDelete
  11. 14
    ii) Area is 15m^2
    Area=15m^2
    then 15= C^2-2c (this is known after concluded
    therefore 15+2c-c^2=0
    or c^2-2c-15=0
    factorizing this we get
    (c-5)(c+3)=0
    c=5 & c=-3

    w=(c-2)
    substituting for c
    W=(5-2)
    =3
    or
    w=(-3-2)
    =-5

    *2nd eq.by 3
    6p-6r=33

    Note- this is an elimination process (observe below)

    (-) equation 1 from equation 2
    we get
    10r=47
    r=47/10
    r=4.7

    Finding for p now
    Note You can Choose any equation u started with

  17. lenght= c

    width= c-2

    area= c(c-2)

    when area is 15 m^2
    15= c(c-2)
    15= c^2-2c
    c^2-2c-15= 0
    c^2+3c-5c-15= 0
    c(c+3)-5(c+3)= 0
    (c+3)(c-3)= 0
    therefore c= -3 or c= 5

    when c=-3 the area is not 15m^2, so when c= 5 the area is 15m^2.

    so therefore lenght= 5 m
    width= 5-2
    = 3 m

  18. 14) 2x^2 - 4x +1=0
    x= (-b +/- √b^2 - 4(a)(c))/ 2a
    x= ( 4 +/- √ 4^2 - 4(2)(1))/2(2)
    x= ( 4 +/- √ 16 -8)/4
    x= ( 4 +/- √8)/4
    x= (4 + √8)/4
    x=1.707

    x= (4 - √8)/4
    x= 0.293

    so the resultant values are x= 1.707 and x= 0.293

  20. 14(1)(b) Area = Width * Length
    sub width = 2 - length
    Area = (2 – length) * length
    sub length= c
    Area =(2 – c)* c
    Area= 2c - c^2

  21. 14)(a)width= 2 - length

  36. 3x - y + 6 - 0
    I'll take it that the '-' before the 0 was supposed to be an '='.
    3x - y + 6 = 0
    making y the subject:
    3x + 6 - y = 0
    y = 3x + 6

  37. y = 3x + 6 is in the form y = mx + c where 'm' is the gradient and 'c'is the y-intercept. therefore:
    gradient = 3

  50. If Integrate (4x + k ) wrt x with 2 and 1 as bounds = 1 find k

    integral of (4x + k)
    = [4x^(1+1)]/2 + kx
    = 4x^2/2 + kx
    = 2x^2 + kx

    then find the value of k by substituting the bounds into the equation:
    ie. [2(2^2) + k(2)]-[2(1^2) + k(1)] = 1
    [8 + 2k]- [2 + k] = 1
    6 + 3k = 1

    = 4x - x^3/3 + c

    then sub. into the following equation to find the area....

    area = [4(1) - (1^3)/3]-[4(-1) - (-1^3)/3]
    area = 3.67 - (-3.67)
    area = 7.34

  52. I have to say out of all the blogs on this particular page, 'St. Anns graduate' made the most sense...I totally agree with his/her style of working out problems...Green latern comments were also very good, he made a few minor mistakes however his approach to the questions is commendable!

  53. Question 10.
    ∫(4x+k) dx
    4x^3/3 +kx + c {where c is a constant}
    2x^2+ kx + c
    For bounds 2 and 1
    [2 (2)^2 + k (2)] – [2 (1)^2 + k (1)] =1
    [8 + 2k] – [2 +k]= 1
    8+ 2k -2 – k = 1
    6 + k = 1
    k = 1- 6
    k = -5

  54. Question 11.
    y= 4-x^2
    ∫(4-x^2) dx
    4x – x^3/3
    For Boundaries 1 and -1
    [4 (1) – (1)^3/3] – [4 (-1) – (-1)^3/3]
    [4- 1/3] – [ -4 + 1/3]
    3 2/3 + 3 2/3
    7 1/3

  55. Question 12.
    v = (20 - t)^3
    v= (400- 40t + t^2) (20-t)
    v=8000 – 800t + 20t^2 – 400t + 40t^2 – t^3
    v= -t^3 +60t^2 – 1200t + 8000
    rate of change is dv/dt
    dv/dt = -3t^2 + 120t -1200
    at t=5
    = -3(5)^2 +120(5) -1200
    = -75 + 600 - 1200
    = - 675

  56. Question 13.
    3y-x+6-0=0
    3y=x-6
    y= (x-6)/3
    y=1/3x – 2
    gradient is dy/dx
    dy/dx = 1/3
    therefore gradient of line is 1/3
    y-intercept occurs when x= 0
    y= 1/3(0)- 2
    y=2 is where the line cuts the y axis

  57. Question 14.
    2x^2 – 4x +1 =0
    Solve equation using Quaratic formula
    I have done the working on paper but it seems
    Very difficult to type it up
    x= 1.71 and x= 0.293 to 3 sig. figs

  58. Question 15.
    Floor of room is rectangular.
    i (a) if Length L = c
    Then width W = c-2
    (b) Area (A) of rectangle = LxB
    A= c(c-2)
    A= c^2 – 2c

  59. Question 15. Second part
    (ii) When A= 15m^2, sub A into equation to find c
    15= c^2 – 2c
    c^2 – 2c – 15= 0
    (x -5) (x+3)= 0
    X= 5 and x= -3
    Since length cannot be negative
    Length of floor is 5m
    And Width is
    W= 5-2
    W= 3m

  60. Question 16.
    3p + 2r = 7 ---------(1)
    p2 -2r= 11----------(2)
    Solving using substsitution method

    From equation (1)
    r= (7-3p)/2 ---------(3)
    Sub (3) into (2)
    2p – 2[ (7-3p)/2] = 11
    2p – 7 +3p = 11
    5p = 11+7
    p= 18/5
    Sub p= 18/5 into equation (3)
    r= (7-3(18/5)/2
    r= 7/2 – (54/4 x 1/2)
    r = 7/2 – 27/5
    r = -19/10
    Solved p= 18/5 and r = -19/10
