Solve for x and y respectively
3x - 5y = 9
6x - 4y = 12

A.

\(\frac{3}{4}\), 1

B.

\(\frac{4}{3}\), 1

C.

\(\frac{3}{4}\), -1

D.

\(\frac{4}{3}\), -1

Correct answer is D

3x - 5y = 9 ------x2
6x - 4y = 12 -----x1
6x - 10y = 18
-6x - 4y = 12
____________
\(\frac{6y}{-6}\) = \(\frac{6}{6}\)

y = -1
in eq (1) 3x - 5y = 9
3x - 5(-1) = 9
3x + 5 = 9
3x = 4
x = \(\frac{4}{3}\)

If N = \(\frac{p}{2}\)(\(\frac{T_1 - T_2}{T_1}\)). Find P when N = 12, T1 = 27 and T2 = 24.

A.

48

B.

108

C.

54

D.

216

Correct answer is D

N = \(\frac{p}{2}\)(\(\frac{T_1 - T_2}{T_1}\))
12 = \(\frac{p}{2}\)(\(\frac{27 - 24}{27}\))
24 = P(\(frac{3}{27}\)
P = 24 x 9 = 216

423.

Evaluate \(\int\)(sinx - 5x2)dx

A.

-cosx - 10x + k

B.

cosx - \(\frac{5x^3}{3}\) + k

C.

-cosx - \(\frac{5x^3}{3}\) + k

D.

cosx - 10x + k

Correct answer is C

\(\int\)(sin x - 5x^2) = -cosx - \(\frac{5x^3}{3}\) + k

424.

Find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\). If y = 3x3 + 2x2 + 3x + 1

A.

9x2 + 4x + 3

B.

9x2 - 4x - 3

C.

9x2 + 4x - 3

D.

9x2 - 4x + 3

Correct answer is A

y = 3x3 + 2x2 + 3x + 1
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 9x2 + 4x + 3

425.

If a car travels 120km on 45 litres of petrol, how much petrol is needed for a journey of 600km?

A.

720 litres

B.

160 litres

C.

225 litres

D.

960 litres

Correct answer is C

120km \(\to\) 45litres
1km \(\to\) \(\frac{45}{120}\)litres
600km \(\to\) \(\frac{45}{120}\) x 600 = 225litres
