Make w the subject of the formula of the relation (a + bc)/(wd + f)= g
- A.
(a + bc - fg)/dg
- B.
(a - bc + fg)/dg
- C.
(a + bc - f)/dg
- D.
(a + bc - dg)/fg
Correct Answer
A. (a + bc - fg)/dgExplanation
To make w the subject of the formula, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Starting with the given formula, we can begin by multiplying both sides by dg to eliminate the denominator. This gives us (a + bc)/(wd + f) * dg = g. Next, we can cross multiply to get (a + bc) * dg = g * (wd + f). Then, we can expand the right side of the equation to get adg + bcdg = gwd + gf. Rearranging the terms, we have adg - gwd = gf - bcdg. Finally, we can factor out w to get w(dg) = adg - gwd + gf - bcdg. Simplifying further, we get w(dg + gw) = adg + gf - bcdg. Dividing both sides by dg + gw, we get w = (adg + gf - bcdg)/(dg + gw), which is equivalent to (a + bc - fg)/dg.Rate this question:

Find the median of 2, 1, 0, 3, 1, 1, 4, 0, 1 and 2.
- A.
0.0
- B.
0.5
- C.
1.0
- D.

Correct Answer
C. 1.0Explanation
To find the median, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order: 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4. Since there are 10 numbers, the middle number will be the 5th number, which is 1. Therefore, the median is 1.0.Rate this question:

1/4
Correct Answer
B. 3/2Explanation
To solve the equation, we can express the square root as an exponent. The equation then becomes 5^x=5 3/2​. This implies that the exponent x is equal to 3/2​. So, the solution for x is 3/2​, which is approximately 1.498 when expressed as a decimal.Rate this question:

- D.
Option 4
Correct Answer
A. 4Explanation
To find the median, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order:
2,4,4,6,7,(x+1),8.
Now, since there are seven numbers, the median will be the fourth number when arranged in ascending order.
So, the median is 6.Rate this question:

Simplify 8n × 22n ÷ 43n
- A.
1/2(n)
- B.
2(1-n)
- C.
2n
- D.
2(n+1)
Correct Answer
A. 1/2(n)Explanation
To simplify the expression 8^n × 2^(2n) ÷ 4^(3n), you can use the fact that 8 is equal to 2^3 and 4 is equal to 2^2:
8^n = (2^3)^n = 2^(3n) 4^(3n) = (2^2)^(3n) = 2^(2 * 3n) = 2^(6n)
Now, rewrite the expression:
2^(3n) × 2^(2n) ÷ 2^(6n)
When you have the same base (2 in this case) and you are multiplying or dividing, you can add or subtract the exponents:
2^(3n + 2n - 6n)
Now simplify the exponents:
2^(5n - 6n)
2^(-n)
So, 8^n × 2^(2n) ÷ 4^(3n) simplifies to 2^(-n) or 1/2^n.Rate this question:

Given that 2x= 8, find the value of x.
- A.

- B.
-1
- C.

Correct Answer
D. 3Explanation
The value of x can be found by dividing 8 by 2. When we divide 8 by 2, we get 4. However X is acting as the power of 2, if we further divide 4 by 2 we get 2. So, the cube of 2 is 8, and as X is acting as the power, X=3.Rate this question:

Solve for x: x2 + 2x + 1 = 25
- A.
-6,-4
- B.
6,-4
- C.
6,4
- D.
-6,4
Correct Answer
D. -6,4Explanation
To solve the equation x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25, we need to rearrange it to the standard quadratic form. Subtracting 25 from both sides gives us x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0. We can then factor this quadratic equation as (x + 6)(x - 4) = 0. Setting each factor equal to zero, we find that x = -6 or x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is -6, 4.Rate this question:

Convert 8910 to a number in base two.
- A.
1101001
- B.
1011001
- C.
1001101
- D.
101101
Correct Answer
B. 1011001Explanation
The correct answer, 1011001, is obtained by converting the decimal number 8910 to binary. In binary, each digit can only be 0 or 1. To convert, we repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2 and record the remainder until the quotient becomes 0. The remainders, read from bottom to top, form the binary representation of the decimal number. In this case, 8910 divided by 2 gives a quotient of 445 and a remainder of 0. Dividing 445 by 2 gives a quotient of 222 and a remainder of 1. Continuing this process, we get the binary representation 1011001.Rate this question:

Solve the simultaneous equation y =3x, 4y – 5x = 14
- A.
-2, -6
- B.
2,6
- C.
2,-6
- D.
-1,-3
Correct Answer
B. 2,6Explanation
The correct answer is 2,6. By substituting y = 3x into the second equation, we get 4(3x) - 5x = 14. Simplifying this equation gives us 12x - 5x = 14, which further simplifies to 7x = 14. Dividing both sides by 7 gives us x = 2. Substituting this value back into the first equation, we get y = 3(2), which simplifies to y = 6. Therefore, the solution to the simultaneous equations is x = 2 and y = 6.Rate this question:

To simplify the expression, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12.
So, the expression becomes: ((9/12) + (4/12)) * (41/3) - (31/4)
Simplifying further, we get: (13/12) * (41/3) - (31/4)
Multiplying the fractions, we get: (533/36) - (31/4)
To subtract the fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for 36 and 4 is 36.
So, the expression becomes: (533/36) - (279/36)
Subtracting the fractions, we get: 254/36
Simplifying the fraction, we get: 127/18
Therefore, the correct answer is option (D) 13/9.Rate this question:

B. Option 2Explanation
The angle of elevation of X from Y is 30 degrees, which means that the angle formed between the horizontal line and the line of sight from Y to X is 30 degrees. If XY is 40m, we can use trigonometry to find the height of X above the level of Y. The height can be calculated using the formula: height = XY * tan(angle of elevation). Plugging in the values, we get: height = 40m * tan(30 degrees) = 40m * 0.577 = 23.08m. Therefore, X is 20m above the level of Y.Rate this question:

To simplify the given expression in base 7, we add the numbers together and convert the result to base 7.
257 + 3117 + 3437 = 6807
To convert 6807 to base 7, we divide it by 7 repeatedly until the quotient is 0. The remainders in each division give us the digits of the number in base 7.
6807 ÷ 7 = 972 remainder 3
972 ÷ 7 = 138 remainder 6
138 ÷ 7 = 19 remainder 5
19 ÷ 7 = 2 remainder 5

What is the area of a circle radius 7cm? (A) 154cm2 (B) 77cm2 (C) 22cm2 (D) 11cm2
- A.
Option 1

A. Option 1Explanation
The area of a circle can be calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius. In this case, the radius is given as 7cm. Plugging this value into the formula, we get A = π(7^2) = 49π. To find the approximate value of the area, we can use the approximation π ≈ 3.14. Therefore, 49π ≈ 49(3.14) = 153.86. Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we get 154. Therefore, the area of the circle with a radius of 7cm is approximately 154cm2.Rate this question:

A. Option 1Explanation
To add numbers in base 8, we follow the same rules as in base 10, but with different place values. In base 8, the digits range from 0 to 7. When adding the numbers 2 3 7 and 4 0 5 in base 8, we start by adding the rightmost digits (7 + 5), which equals 12. In base 8, 12 is written as 14. We write down the 4 and carry over the 1 to the next column. Then, we add the next digits (3 + 0 + 1), which equals 4. Finally, we add the leftmost digits (2 + 4), which equals 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 644.Rate this question:
