Powered by AITo make U the subject of the formula V² = U² + 2AS, begin by isolating terms involving U on one side of the equation. Subtract 2AS from both sides to get V² - 2AS = U². Finally, take the square root of both sides to solve for U, resulting in U = ±√(V² - 2AS).
To solve the simultaneous equations 2x + y = 5 and x - y = 1, use substitution or elimination methods. Using substitution, solve the second equation for y: y = x - 1. Substitute y in the first equation: 2x + (x - 1) = 5, simplifying to 3x - 1 = 5. Solve for x: 3x = 6, x = 2. Substitute x back into y = x - 1 to find y = 2 - 1 = 1. The solution is x = 2 and y = 1 .
Given the ratio of red to green apples is 5:4 and there are 144 green apples, calculate the number of red apples using cross-multiplication. Let x be the number of red apples: 5/4 = x/144. Solving for x gives x = (5 × 144) / 4 = 180. Therefore, there are 180 red apples .
To determine whether a simplified number is rational or irrational, you need to check if it can be expressed as a quotient of two integers where the denominator is not zero. For example, √100 simplifies to 10, which is rational because it can be written as 10/1, an integer. On the other hand, a number like √2 cannot be expressed as a quotient of two integers, thus it is irrational .
For mutually exclusive events, the probability of the union P(A U B) is the sum of individual probabilities since events cannot occur simultaneously. Given P(A) = 0.3 and P(A U B) = 0.8, use P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B). Solving gives P(B) = 0.8 - 0.3 = 0.5. Mutual exclusivity simplifies calculations by ensuring no overlap in event occurrence .
The order or degree of a polynomial, determined by the term with the highest exponent, influences its graph's shape, number of turning points, and roots. For the polynomial A*x^4 + 4x + 7, the degree is 4, which allows up to 3 turning points and 4 roots (solutions for x). This higher degree typically results in more complex behavior than lower-degree polynomials .
To verify the formula n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B), calculate each component using specific elements. For instance, if A = {3,6,9} and B = {2,4,6,8,10}, then n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 5. Their intersection n(A ∩ B) = 1 (only element 6 is common). Compute n(A ∪ B), which includes all unique elements from both sets, resulting in {2,3,4,6,8,9,10}, so n(A ∪ B) = 7. Check: 3 + 5 - 1 = 7, which verifies the principle .
To calculate the total repayment amount using simple interest, apply the formula: Total Amount = Principal + (Principal × Rate × Time). For a loan of Rs. 15,000 at 12% annual interest for 10 years, calculate interest: 15,000 × 0.12 × 10 = Rs. 18,000. The total repayment is Principal + Interest = 15,000 + 18,000 = Rs. 33,000 .
To calculate the percentage increment of students, use the formula ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) × 100. For an increase from 540 to 1040, compute: ((1040 - 540) / 540) × 100 = (500 / 540) × 100 ≈ 92.59%. Thus, the student population increased by approximately 92.59% .
To find the length of a line segment between two points on a coordinate plane, use the distance formula: √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²). For points A(2,1) and C(2,5), compute: √((2-2)² + (5-1)²) = √(0 + 16) = √16 = 4 units .
