6
Correct answer is B
23 x 54 = 1242
In mod 7;
1242 ÷ 7 = 177 R 3
Hence; 1242 ≡ 3
If √24 + √96 - √600 = y√6, find the value of y
4
2
-2
-4
Correct answer is D
√24 + √96 - √600 = y√6
convert all to basic surds
√24 = 2√6
√96 = 4√6
- √600 = -10√6
2√6 + 4√6 - 10√6 = -4√6
value of y = -4
Given that A and B are sets such that n(A) = 8, n(B)=12 and n(AnB) =3, find n(AuB).
15
17

23
Correct answer is B
n(AuB) = n(A) + n(B) - n(AnB)
n(AuB) = 8 + 12 - 3
= 17
Change 432\(_{five}\) to a number in base three.
10100\(_{three}\)
11100\(_{three}\)
11101\(_{three}\)
10110\(_{three}\)
Correct answer is B
Convert from base 5 to base 10
432\(_{five}\) = (4 x 5\(^2\)) + (3 x 5\(^1\)) + (2 x 5\(^0\))
= (4 x 25) + (3 x 5) + (2 x 1)
= 100 + 15 + 2
= 117\(_{ten}\)
Then convert from base 10 to base 3
| 3 | 117 |
| 3 | 39 r 0 |
| 3 | 13 r 0 |
| 3 | 4 r 1 |
| 3 | 1 r 1 |
| 0 r 1 |
Selecting the remainders from bottom to top:
117\(_{ten}\) = 11100\(_{three}\)
Hence; 432\(_{five}\) = 11100\(_{three}\)
Evaluate, correct to four significant figures, (573.06 x 184.25).
105600.00
105622.00
105500.00
105632.00
Correct answer is A
573.06 x 184.25 = 105,586.305
1,05600.00 to four significant figure
