Which inequality describes the graph above?
4y+5x≥20
5y+4x≤20
4y+5x≤20
5y+4x≥20
Correct answer is B
First, we find the equation of the boundary line using the two intercepts.The slope is
m = 4−00−5=45
The y-intercept is 4
The slope-intercept form of the equation is therefore
y = -45x+4
⟹y+45x=4
Multiply both sides by 54
⟹54(y+45x)=4×54
⟹54y+x=5
Multiply both sides by 4
⇒ 5y+4x=20
The inequality is therefore either 5y+4x≤20 or 5y+4x≥20.
Using the test point (0, 0) -The origin
⇒ 5(0) + 4(0) ≤ 20
⇒ 0 ≤ 20 (True)
∴ The inequality is 5y+4x≤20
Find the value of x in the diagram above
10 units
15 units
5 units
20 units
Correct answer is A
Intersecting Chords Theorem states that If two chords intersect in a circle, then the products of the measures of the segments of the chords are equal.
⇒ AE * EB = CE * ED
⇒ 6 * x = 4 * (x + 5)
⇒ 6x = 4x + 20
⇒ 6x - 4x = 20
⇒ 2x = 20
∴ x=202 = 10 units
Calculate the area of the composite figure above.
6048 m2
3969 m2
4628 m2
5834 m2
Correct answer is B
Area of the composite figure = Area of semi circle + Area of rectangle + Area of triangle
Area of semi circle = 12πr2=12×π×d24=12×227×4224=693m2
Area of rectangle = l x b = 42 x 60 =2520 m2
Area of triangle = 12×b×h=12×36×42=756m2
∴ Area of the composite figure = 693 + 2520 + 756 = 3969 m2
Solve the logarithmic equation: log2(6−x)=3−log2x
x = 4 or 2
x = -4 or -2
x = -4 or 2
x = 4 or -2
Correct answer is A
log2(6−x)=3−log2x
⇒ log2(6−x)=3log22−log2x (since log2 2 = 1)
⇒ log2(6−x)=log223−log2x (alog c = log ca)
⇒ log2(6−x)=log28−log2x
⇒log2(6−x)=log28x (log a - log b = logab)
⇒ 6−x=8x
⇒ x(6−x)=8
⇒ 6x−x2=8
⇒ x2−6x+8=0
⇒ x2−4x−2x+8=0
⇒ x(x−4)−2(x−4)=0
⇒ (x−4)(x−2)=0
⇒ x−4=0orx−2=0
∴ x = 4 or 2
20
300
50
60
Correct answer is D
Let number of children's ticket at ₦250.00 each = x
∴ Number of adult tickets at ₦520.00 each = 5x
Then,
Total amount of money received from children's tickets = 250x
Total amount of money received from adult tickets = 520(5x)
⇒ 250x + 520(5x) = 171,000
⇒ 250x + 2600x = 171,000
⇒ 2850x = 171,000
⇒ x=171,0002850=60
∴ 60 tickets were sold at ₦250.00 and 300 tickets were sold at ₦520.00
