Using a = 6 and d = -4, the sum of the first ten terms is S_10 = 10/2 * (2*6 + (10-1)(-4)) = 5 * (12 - 36) = 5 * (-24) = -120.
Acceleration from a velocity-time graph involves determining the slope of the line. If the velocity change is Δv over time Δt, acceleration a = Δv/Δt. Total journey length is the area under the velocity-time graph. If velocity changes from 0 to V in time T, with constant acceleration, the journey length = 0.5 * V * T.
In an AP, the formula for the n-th term is given by a_n = a + (n-1)d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference. Given the second term a_2 = 2 and the sixth term a_6 = -14, you can set up two equations: a + d = 2 and a + 5d = -14. Solving these simultaneously, subtract the first equation from the second to get 4d = -16, thus d = -4. Substituting back, a = 2 + 4, hence a = 6.
To make q the subject from pqy + x = c(p + q²), first expand the right side, then rearrange terms: pqy + x = cp + cq². Begin isolating q by factoring: q(pcy² + q) = c - x. Solve for q by setting q = (c - x) / (py + q), eliminating q's inner dependency.
In a circle, the angle formed by lines intersecting at the center is directly proportional to the arc they subtend. Given arcs AB and CD subtending angles of 43° and 25° respectively, the central angle for a complete circle is 360°. To find LDLC, which is the angle remaining after subtracting the given arcs, calculate it as follows: 360° - (43° + 25°) = 292°.
To find the price of the TV before VAT was added, given the total price including VAT, you use the formula: Initial Price = Total Price / (1 + VAT Rate). Given a TV price of 133,800 shillings with a VAT rate of 30%, the initial price before VAT is calculated as 133,800 / 1.30, which equals 103,000 shillings.
The resultant vector of vectors a, b, and c, where a = 5i - j, b = 3i + 4j, and c = 2i - 3j, is obtained by adding their components: a + b + c = (5+3+2)i + (-1+4-3)j = 10i. The magnitude is sqrt(10²), thus 10. The unit vector is (1/10)(10i) = i.
The volume V of a pyramid is V = (1/3) * Base Area * Height. Given a square base of side 6 cm, its area is 6*6 = 36 cm². With a height VN = 3 cm, substitute into the volume formula: V = (1/3) * 36 * 3 = 36 cm³.
The ratio of the areas of two circles is directly proportional to the square of their radii. Given the area ratio of 50:72 and the smaller circle's radius as 15 cm, set up the proportion (15²)/(R²) = 50/72. Solving for R, the radius of the larger circle, R = sqrt((15² * 72)/50), gives R = 18 cm.
The probability that the sum of two randomly chosen numbers from 1, 2, and 3 is odd, is calculated by listing all possible outcomes (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2). Those combinations that sum to an odd number are (1,2), (2,1), (1,3), and (3,1). Out of 9 possible combinations, 4 are favorable, so the probability is 4/9.
