Solve the equation 7y\(^2\) = 3y

A.

y = 3 or 7

B.

y = 0 or 7

C.

y = 0 or 3/7

D.

y = 0 or 9

E.

y = 0 or 10

Correct answer is C

7y\(^2\) = 3y

7y\(^2\) - 3y = 0

y(7y - 3) = 0

y = 0 or y = \(\frac{3}{7}\)

Factorize 2e\(^2\) - 3e + 1

A.

(2e-1) (e-1)

B.

(e+1) (2e+1)

C.

(2e+3) (e+2)

D.

(2e-3) (e-1)

E.

(e2-3(2e-1)

Correct answer is A

2e\(^2\) - 3e + 1

2e\(^2\) - 2e - e + 1

2e(e - 1) - 1(e - 1)

(2e - 1)(e - 1)

Factorize x\(^2\) + 4x - 192

A.

(x-4) (x+48)

B.

(x-48) (x+4)

C.

(x-12) (x+16)

D.

(x-12) (x-16)

E.

(x+12) (x+16)

Correct answer is C

x\(^2\) + 4x - 192

x\(^2\) + 16x - 12x - 192

x(x + 16) - 12(x + 16)

(x + 16)(x - 12)

In the diagram above, O is the center of the circle with radius 10cm, and ∠ABC = 30°. Calculate, correct to 1 decimal place, the length of arc AC [Take π = 22/7]

A.

5.2cm

B.

10.5cm

C.

13.2cm

D.

20.6cm

E.

31.4cm

Correct answer is B

In the figure, < AOC = 2 x < ABC = 60° (angle subtended at the centre)

\(\therefore\) Arc AC = \(\frac{60}{360} \times 2 \times 10 \times 3.14\)

= \(\frac{31.4}{3}\)

= 10.466 cm \(\approxeq\) 10.5 cm
