Re: Maths made easy =) stuck sumwhere?Ask ur doubts here!!

student92, dis is for u
for may june 2010 ppr 22 Q 15 c (ii)
3x+y=18
y=-3x+c
2=-3(4)+c
2+12=c
14=c

Q16. distance =0.5*10*(10+16)
=130 m
now, 130=16*0.5*v
solve it, u'll get v=16.25m/s
Q 17 b . length of arcs= 45/ 360 * 2 * 3.142 * 12 * 4
=37.704 cm.
radius= 2 * 3.142* 8
= 50.272cm
length painted white= 50.272+37.704
= 88cm
Oct/ Nov 2009
Q4. 5/8 x^3/2 / 1/2 x ^ 5/2
5/8 x^3/2 * 2x^5/2
5/8*2 *x ^3/2+5/2

The car travels faster than the truck from time 15s to 55s. The distance travelled by the car is the TOTAL area under the graph during this time. You are missing one point here. The calculation would be like this: [1/2 x (55-15) x (36-12)] + [(55-15) x (36-12)].
I think you can figure it out now. :)
Ahaa, I see. I only had to add the area of rectangle beneath. Your calculation is wrong though but still thanks very much for the concept hehe :)

Re: Maths made easy =) stuck sumwhere?Ask ur doubts here!!

Prime numbers are numbers that can be only divided by themselves to get 1 or by 1 to get themselves (and are NOT divisible by ANY other number).

Eg: 5 is a prime number. 5 / 1 = 5 AND 5 / 5 = 1.

All even numbers are not prime numbers, because they are divisible by 2 obviously.

To find a number whether it's divisible by 3, add the digits separately and check whether the total you get is divisible by 3 or not.

Eg: 285 is not a prime number. 285 ---> 2 + 8 + 5 = 15. And 15 is divisible by 3. (NOTE: this method only works for 3)

Go through all the prime numbers till 100 for 2-3 times. That will surely help :)

Re: Maths made easy =) stuck sumwhere?Ask ur doubts here!!

Wayne Rooney for u Q 7
(a) volume= l*b*h
=3(60) *1.2*0.3
=64.8 m^3
(b)volume=15(60)*1.2*0.8
=864m^3
percentage increase= 864-64.8/64.8 *100
=1230%( correct to 3 sig. fig.)
(c)Vol. of cylinder= pie*r^2*h
2=pie*r^2*1.3/1000 1000mm=1m
2*1000/pie *1.3=r^2
square root (490)=r
22.1m=r
(d) area= 50.40/0.12
=420m^2
area=l*perimter
420=l*(0.8+0.8+1.2)
420/2.8=l
150m=l
hope i helped

Re: Maths made easy =) stuck sumwhere?Ask ur doubts here!!

For 13 =>
( a x 10^7) + (b x 10^6) = c x 10^6
Bring the '10^6' from the left hand side to the R.H.S!
=> (a x 10^7) / 10^6 + (b x 10^6) /10^6
=> ( a x 10 ) + (b)
c = 10a + b

for Q 14 => Just change the minutes and seconds into hours!
=> First change 55 minutes and 20 seconds into seconds => (55 x 60) + 20 => 3320
now change these seconds into hours => 3320/3600 = 0.9222222
Find the avg. speed now = Distance / time
=> 10 / 0.922222
=> 10.8 km/h (3 Sig. Figures)

Hope this helped!

Re: Maths made easy =) stuck sumwhere?Ask ur doubts here!!

I am an O-level student and don't know much about IGCSE. What is the difference between Maths and Maths Extended in IGCSE?
