Find the coordinates of point B

A.

(0,11/2)

B.

(O,2)

C.

(2,0)

D.

(11/2, 2)

E.

(11/2, 0)

Correct answer is E

B occurs at the point y = 0. 

When y = 0, we have

4x + 3(0) = 6

4x = 6

x = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

B = \((1\frac{1}{2}, 0)\)

The shaded portion shows the outer boundary of the half plane defined by the inequality

A.

4x + 3y \(\geq\) 6

B.

4x + 3y = 6

C.

4x + 3y < 6

D.

3y >6

E.

4x < 6

Correct answer is A

The region is denoted by 4x + 3y \(\geq\) 6

Find the perimeter of the region

A.

22cm

B.

33cm

C.

40cm

D.

47cm

E.

66cm

Correct answer is C

P = \(\pi\)r + \(\pi\)r + R = \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 7 + \(\frac{22}{7}\) x \(\frac{7}{2}\) + 7

P = 22 + 11 + 7 = 40cm

Find the area of the enclosed region, PXROY correct to the nearest whole number

A.

96cm2

B.

116cm2

C.

154cm2

D.

192cm2

E.

385cm2

Correct answer is A

Area of the bigger semi circle P x RO =

πr2/2
=
22/7
x
49/2
= 77cm2

2nd Area of the smaller circle DYO =
22/7
x
3.52/2
= 19.25

Total Area = 77 + 19.25 = 96.25 = 96.00

Mrs. Kofi sold an article for C7.50 instead of C12.75. Calculate her percentage of error, correct to one decimal place.

A.

41.2%

B.

18.3%

C.

5.3%

D.

1.7%

E.

1.4%

Correct answer is A

Error =12.75 - 7.50 = 5.25

Error % = \(\frac{5.25}{12.75}\) x 100% = 41.2%
