Factorise the following polynomials: x3+13x2+31x-45,given that (x+9) is a factor

Answer» X^3 +13x^2 + 31X - 45

= x^3 - x^2 + 14x^2 - 14x + 45X - 45

= x^2 ( x - 1) + 14x (x - 1) + 45 (x - 1)

= (x - 1)(x^2 + 14x + 45)

= (x-1) [x^2 + 5X + 9x + 45]

= (x-1)[ x(x +5) + 9 (x +5)]

= (x-1)(x+5)(x+9)

The population of a suburb is 16000. Find the rate of increase in the population if the population after two years is 17640.

Answer»

Let the rate of increase in the population is r
we know, population increases geometrical progression so, we have to USE \textbf{compound interest} formula

Given, P = 16,000
TIME period , n = 2
population after 2 yrs , A = 17640
use formula A=P\left(\begin{array}{c}1+\frac{r}{100}\end{array}\right)^n
so, 17640 = 16000(1 + r/100)²
=> 17640/16000 = (1 + r/100)²
=> 1764/1600 = (1 + r/100)²
=> 441/400 = (1 + r/100)²
taking square root both sides,
=> 21/20 = 1 + r/100
=> 21/20 - 1 = r/100
=> 1/20 × 100 = r
r = 5 %

Find the compound interest if the amount of a certain principal after two years is ₹4036.80 at the rate of 16 p.c.p.a.

Answer»

Given Principal Amount= P= ?

Rates of INTEREST Per annum= i =16%

Time= n =2years

COMPOUND amount= P(1+i)^n

4036.80 = P [ (1+16/100)^2

4036.80 = P [(1 + 0.16)^2

4036.80 =P (1.16)^2

4036.80 =P[1.3456]

4036.80/1.3456 =P

=3000 is the Principal amount..

Then Compounded interest = Compounded amount - Principal Amount

=4036.80 - 3000 =1036.80 is the Compound Interest.

3 root 12 divided by 6 root 27

Answer»

Answer:

\frac{3\sqrt{12}}{6\sqrt{27}}=\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

Given Expression:

\frac{3\sqrt{12}}{6\sqrt{27}}

We have to SIMPLIFY the given expression.

first we simplify the √12 and √27

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

⇒ √12 = 2√3

27 = 3 × 3 × 3

⇒ √27 = 3√3

\frac{3\sqrt{12}}{6\sqrt{27}}

=\frac{3\times2\sqrt{3}}{6\times3\sqrt{3}}

=\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, \frac{3\sqrt{12}}{6\sqrt{27}}=\frac{1}{3}

If x^2-x-1 =0 then what is the value of x^8 + 1/x^8

Answer» \textbf{Answer}


x^8 + 1/x^8 = ?

\textbf{We are given,}
x^2 - x - 1 = 0 -------(1)
\textbf{Dividing} both \textbf{sides of equation(1) by x,}
x^2/x - x/x - 1/x = 0/x
x^2 - 1/x - 1 = 0

=> \textbf{(x - 1/x) = 1}
\textbf{Squaring both sides,}
(x - 1/x)^2 = (1)^2
=> x^2 + 1/x^2 - 2(x)(1/x) = 1

=> (x^2 + 1/x^2) = 3
\textbf{Squaring both sides,}
(x^2 + 1/x^2)^2 = (3)^2
=> x^4 + 1/x^4 + 2(x^4)(1/x^4) = 9
=> x^4 + 1/x^4 + 2 = 9

=> (x^4 + 1/x^4) = 7
\textbf{Squaring both sides,}
x^8 + 1/x^8 + 2(x^8)(1/x^8) = (7)^2
=> x^8 + 1/x^8 + 2 = 49
=> x^8 + 1/x^8 = 49 - 2

=> x^8 + 1/x^8 = 47 \textbf{(Solution)}

If cot theta =root 7 show that cosec ^2 theta -sec^2theta /cosec^2theta +sec^2theta =3/4As given in the picture

Answer»

ANSWER:

\frac{(cosec^{2}\theta-sec^{2}\theta)}{(cosec^{2}\theta+sec^{2}\theta)}\\=\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given \: cot\theta = \sqrt{7}--(<klux>1</klux>)

LHS =\frac{(cosec^{2}\theta-sec^{2}\theta)}{(cosec^{2}\theta+sec^{2}\theta)}

=\frac{\frac{1}{sin^{2}\theta}-\frac{1}{cos^{2}\theta}}{\frac{1}{sin^{2}\theta}+\frac{1}{cos^{1}\theta}}

MULTIPLY NUMERATOR and denominator by cos^{2}\theta ,we get

=\frac{\frac{cos^{2}\theta}{sin^{2}\theta}-\frac{cos^{2}\theta}{cos^{2}\theta}}{\frac{cos^{2}\theta}{sin^{2}\theta}+\frac{cos^{2}\theta}{cos^{1}\theta}}

=\frac{cot^{2}\theta-1}{cot^{2}\theta +1}

=\frac{(\sqrt{7})^{2}-1}{(\sqrt{7})^{2}+1}

/* From(1)*/

=\frac{7-1}{7+1}\\=\frac{6}{8}\\=\frac{3}{4}\\=RHS

If cosec theta is equal to 5 by 3 then what is the value of cos theta + 10 theta

Answer»

Theta us written as A,

Given, cosecA = 5 / 3



We KNOW, cosec∅ = hypotenuse / height

HENCE, 5 / 3 = hypotenuse / height



So, let hypotenuse = ( 5x ) and height be ( 3X )


By Pythagoras theorem, base will be ( 4x )



Hence,
COSA = base / hypotenuse

cosA = 4x / 5x

cosA = 4 / 5



tanA = height / base

tanA = 3x / 4x

tanA = 3 / 4





Then, cosA + tanA


=> 4 / 5 + 3 / 4

=> ( 16 + 15 ) /20

=> 31 / 20

Find the principal and simple interest with rate of interest per annum = 3.5% ,time period =2years and amount =$535

Answer»

A = 535$

R% = 3.5%

T = 2 Years


SI = A - P

SI = 535 - P

P = 535 - SI


By SI formula

SI = (P*T*R)/100

SI = ((535-SI)*2*3.5)/100

100SI = (535-SI)*7

100SI = 3745 - 7SI

100SI + 7SI = 3745

107SI = 3745

SI = 3745/107

SI = 35$


P = A - SI

P = 535 - SI

P = 535 - 35

P = 500$

Two numbers are in ratio 1:3. If 5 is added to both the numbers, rhe ratio becomes 1:2. Find the numbers.

Answer»

SOLUTION :

Let ONE number be 1X

another number be 3x

According to the question :

if 5 is added to both numbers the RATIO becomes 1:2

so, \bf \frac{1x + 5}{3x + 5} = \frac{1}{2}\\\\=> 2(1x + 5) = 1(3x + 5)\\\\=> 2x + 10 = 3x + 5 \\\\=> 2x - 3x = 5 - 10 \\\\ =>- x = -5 \\\\=> x= 5

one number = 1x = 1 × 5 = 5

another number = 3x = 3 × 5 = 15

Hence,

TWO numbers are 5 and 15

kabir bought 100 articles for Rs 3000 .He sold 25 of them at a gain of 5%. At what gain % must he sell the remaining articles so as to gain 20% on the whole?

Answer» COST price of 100 ARTICLES is ₹3000.
cost price of 25 articles is ₹750.
gain by selling 25 articles =5/100×750=₹37.50 .
total gain by selling 100 articles =20% of 3000=20/100×3000=₹600. So gain which has to be obtained by selling 75 articles=600-37.5=₹562.50. cost price of 75 articles =3000-750=₹2250.
gain%=562.50/2250×100=562.50/22.50=25%
So he NEEDS to sell REMAINING articles at gain of 25%.

In right triangle ABC, right angle is at C, M is the mid-point of hypotenuse AB. C is joined to M and produced to a point D such that DM=CM. Point D is joined to point B (see figure). Show that :(i) ΔAMC≅ΔBMD(ii) ∠DBC is a right angle(iii) ΔDBC≅ ΔACB(iv) CM=1/2*AB

Answer»

Given: In right angled ∆ABC,

∠C = 90°,M is the mid-point of AB i.e, AM=MB & DM = CM


To Prove: i) ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD

ii) ∠DBC is a right angle. 

(iii) ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB

CM=1/2AB


Proof:(i)   In ΔAMC & ΔBMD,

AM = BM                                [M is the mid-point]

∠CMA = ∠DMB                           (Vertically opposite angles)

CM = DM                                           (Given)

Hence, ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD[ by SAS congruence rule]


ii) since, ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD

AC=DB. (by CPCT)

∠ACM = ∠BDM (by CPCT)

Hence, AC || BD as alternate interior angles are equal.


Then,∠ACB + ∠DBC = 180°              (co-interiors angles)

90° + ∠B = 180°

∠DBC = 90°

Hence, ∠DBC = 90°


(iii)  In ΔDBC &  ΔACB,

BC = CB (Common)

∠ACB = ∠DBC (Right angles)

DB = AC ( PROVED in part ii)

Hence, ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB (by SAS congruence rule)


(iv)  DC = AB                                              (ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB)

DM + CM =AB [CD=CM+DM]

CM + CM = AB [CM= DM (given)]

2CM = AB

Hence, CM=1/2AB

999*999, Evaluate the given product without actual multiplication.

Answer»

Interesting question here,

ALTHOUGH if you want to multiply any numbers without actually doing any multiplication you can refer to the japanese method of multiplication, the LINK of which i have mentioned in the comment section

But i would also like to RECOMMEND one of these methods where you can multiply large numbers mentally

Here is the method,

Try EXPRESSING the numbers in form of numbers which are divisible by 10

Example:

9 can be EXPRESSED as 10-1

And then you can do the multiplication,

Now, let us take the sum you have mentioned above,

(1000- 1)×(1000-1)

1000000 - 2000 + 1

998001

This is how simplified multiplication can be performed

Raju sold a bicycle to Amit at 8% profit. Amit repaired it spending ₹ 54. Then he sold the bicycle to Nikhil for ₹ 1134 with no loss and no profit. Find the cost price of the bicycle for which Raju purchased it.

Answer»

If AMIT SOLD the bicycle to Nikhil for ₹ 1134 with no loss and no profit. Then the cost price must be ₹ 1134 including repairing cost.

Now the cost price excluding repairing cost = ₹ 1134 - ₹ 54 = ₹ 1080

Let the cost price of Raju be Rs x.

Then, SELLING price of Raju = x + 8x/100 = x + 2x/25 = 27x/25

Now the cost price of Amit = 27x/25 = 1080

or, x = (1080 x 25)/27 = Rs 1000.

Therefore,

cost price of Raju = Rs 1000 and selling price = Rs 1080 (8% profit)

cost price of Amit = Rs 1080 and selling price = Rs 1134; repairing cost = Rs 54 (no profit no loss )

cost price of Nikhil = Rs 1134.

Equating 1 and 2,


x + 40 = 5x

4x = 40

x = 10


Rahim's age today is x+8

= 10+8

18 years

Sameerrao has taken a loan of `12500 at a rate of 12 p.c.p.a. for 3 years. If the interest is compounded annually then how many rupees should he pay to clear his loan?

Answer»

If Sameerrao has taken a loan of `12500 at a rate of 12 p.c.p.a. for 3 years and the INTEREST is compounded annually then should he pay to clear his loan can be calculated as shown below:

Amount = P{1 + (r/100)}^n

or, we know the values of P, r, n.

P = RS 12500, r = 12% and n = 3yrs.

CI = 12500{1 + (12/100)^3

or, 12500{(112 x 112 x 112)/(1000000)}

or, Rs 17561.6 (Ans)

Therefore, Sameerrao has pay to pay Rs 17561.6 to clear his loan
