The surnames of 40 students in a class were arranged in
alphabetical order. 16 of the surnames begin with O while
9 of the surnames begin with A. 14 of the letters of the
alphabet do not appear as the first letter of any surname.
(i) What is the probability that the surname of a child picked
at random from the class begins with either A or O
(ii) If more than one surname begins with a letter besides A
and O. How many surnames begins with that letter ?
a) if y= x^m (1−x)^n , where n∈ Z^+ , the set of positive integers,
show that when (dy/dx)=0, x=(m/(m+n))
b)if y = 2(x−5)(√(x+4)) ,show that (dy/dx) = ((3(x+1))/((√(x+4)) ))
c) solve the equation sinx−sin5x+cos3x = 0 for 0°≤x≤180°
consider the general definite intergral
I_n =∫_0 ^(π/2) sin^n xdx
a) prove that for n≥2, nI_n =(n−1)I_(n−2) .
b) Find the values of i)∫_0 ^(π/2) sin^5 dx ii) ∫_0 ^(π/2) sin^6 dx
Given that ∣z−6∣=2∣z+6−9i∣,
a) Use algebra to show that the locus of z is a circle,
stating its center and its radius.
b) sketch the locus z on an argand diagram.
