16.7%
Correct answer is D
Actual weight = 0.18g
Error = 0.21g - 0.18g
= 0.03g
% error = \(\frac{0.03}{0.18} \times 100%\)
= 16.7%
The angles of a polygon are given by 2x, 5x, x and 4x respectively. The value of x is
31°
30°
26°
48°
Correct answer is B
Since there are 4 angles given, the polygon is a quadrilateral.
Sum of angle in a quadrilateral = 360°
∴∴ 2x + 5x + x + 4x = 360°
12x = 360°
x = 30°
If S = (4t + 3)(t - 2), find ds/dt when t = 5 secs.
50 units per sec
35 units per sec
22 units per sec
13 units per sec
Correct answer is B
\(s = (4t + 3)(t - 2)\)
\(\frac{\mathrm d s}{\mathrm d t} = (4t + 3)(1) + (t - 2)(4)\)
= \(4t + 3 + 4t - 8\)
= 8t - 5
\(\frac{\mathrm d s}{\mathrm d t} (t = 5 secs) = 8(5) - 5\)
= 40 - 5
= 35 units per sec
Find the value of \(\frac{(0.5436)^3}{0.017 \times 0.219}\) to 3 significant figures.
46.2
43.1
534
431
Correct answer is B
(\frac{(0.5436)^3}{0.017 \times 0.219}\)
= \(\frac{0.16063}{0.017 \times 0.219}\)
= 43.1 (to 3 s.f)
Simplify 81\(^{\frac{-3}{4}}\) x 25\(^{\frac{1}{2}}\) x 243\(^{\frac{2}{5}}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{5}\)
\(\frac{5}{2}\)
\(\frac{5}{3}\)
Correct answer is D
81\(^{\frac{-3}{4}}\) x 25\(^{\frac{1}{2}}\) x 243\(^{\frac{2}{5}}\)
= \((\sqrt[4]{81})^{-3} \times \sqrt{25} \times (\sqrt[5]{243})^2\)
= \(\frac{5 \times 3^2}{3^{3}}\)
= \(\frac{5}{3}\)
