Find the median of 2,3,7,3,4,5,8,9,9,4,5,3,4,2,4 and 5

A.

9

B.

8

C.

7

D.

4

Correct answer is D

Arrange all the values in ascending order, 2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,7,8,9,9

1,597.

The mean of seven numbers is 96. If an eighth number is added, the mean becomes 112. Find the eighth number.

A.

126

B.

180

C.

216

D.

224

Correct answer is D

\(\frac{x}{7} = \frac{96}{1}\) ==> \(\frac{672 + x}{8} = 112\)

Therefore x = 224

Evaluate \(\int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_0sec^2 \theta d \theta\)

A.

1

B.

2

C.

3

D.

4

Correct answer is A

\(\int^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_0sec^2 \theta d \theta\)

= \([\tan \theta]_{0} ^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\)

= \(\tan \frac{\pi}{4} - \tan 0\)

= \(1 - 0\)

= 1.

Evaluate \(\int^2_1(x^2 - 4x)dx\)

A.

\(\frac{11}{3}\)

B.

\(\frac{3}{11}\)

C.

\(-\frac{3}{11}\)

D.

\(-\frac{11}{3}\)

Correct answer is D

\(\int^2_1(x^2 - 4x)dx\)

\((\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{4x^2}{2})\)

substituting integrate values

\([\frac{8}{3} - \frac{4 \times 4}{2}] - [\frac{1}{2} - 2]\)

= \(-\frac{11}{3}\)

If y = x2 - \(\frac{1}{x}\), find \(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x}\)

A.

2x - \(\frac{1}{x^2}\)

B.

2x + x2

C.

2x - x2

D.

2x + \(\frac{1}{x^2}\)

Correct answer is D

y = x2 - \(\frac{1}{x}\)

y = x2 - x-1

\(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x}\) = 2x + x-2


\(\frac{\delta y}{\delta x}\) = 2x + \(\frac{1}{x^2}\)
