The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:

Total amount of the house = £234,900

Find:

Amount of deposit paid = ?

So first, we divide the total amount of the house by the percent of deposit that Carol paid.

= £234,900 / 10%

= £23,490

Another way to solve this is by converting the percent of the deposit into a decimal. We do this by dividing the percentage amount by 100.

= 10% / 100%

= 0.1

Next, we multiply the decimal equivalent of the percentage to the total amount of the house.

= £234,900 * 0.1

= £23,490

So, the amount of deposit that was paid by Carol is £23,490.

First you want to collect the like terms, 2a=45 , then divide both sides of the equation by 2 which is a=2/5 , or a=0.4

Using polar coordinates, evaluate the integral which gives the area which lies in the first quadrant below the line y=5 and betw

vfiekz [6]

First, complete the square in the equation for the second circle to determine its center and radius:

x ² - 10x + y ² = 0

x ² - 10x + 25 + y ² = 25

(x - 5)² + y ² = 5²

So the second circle is centered at (5, 0) with radius 5, while the first circle is centered at the origin with radius √100 = 10.

Now convert each equation into polar coordinates, using

x = r cos(θ)

y = r sin(θ)

Then

x ² + y ² = 100 → r ² = 100 → r = 10

x ² - 10x + y ² = 0 → r ² - 10 r cos(θ) = 0 → r = 10 cos(θ)

y = 5 → r sin(θ) = 5 → r = 5 csc(θ)

See the attached graphic for a plot of the circles and line as well as the bounded region between them. The second circle is tangent to the larger one at the point (10, 0), and is also tangent to y = 5 at the point (0, 5).

Split up the region at 3 angles θ₁, θ₂, and θ₃, which denote the angles θ at which the curves intersect. They are

θ₁ = 0 … … … by solving 10 = 10 cos(θ)

θ₂ = π/6 … … by solving 10 = 5 csc(θ)

θ₃ = 5π/6 … the second solution to 10 = 5 csc(θ)

Then the area of the region is given by a sum of integrals:

$\displaystyle \frac12\left(\left\{\int_0^{\frac\pi6}+\int_{\frac{5\pi}6}^{2\pi}\right\}\left(10^2-(10\cos(\theta))^2\right)\,\mathrm d\theta+\int_{\frac\pi6}^{\frac{5\pi}6}\left((5\csc(\theta))^2-(10\cos(\theta))^2\right)\,\mathrm d\theta\right)$

$=\displaystyle 50\left\{\int_0^{\frac\pi6}+\int_{\frac{5\pi}6}^{2\pi}\right\} \sin^2(\theta)\,\mathrm d\theta+\frac12\int_{\frac\pi6}^{\frac{5\pi}6}\left(25\csc^2(\theta) - 100\cos^2(\theta)\right)\,\mathrm d\theta$

To compute the integrals, use the following identities:

sin²(θ) = (1 - cos(2θ)) / 2

cos²(θ) = (1 + cos(2θ)) / 2

and recall that

d(cot(θ))/dθ = -csc²(θ)

You should end up with an area of

$=\displaystyle25\left(\left\{\int_0^{\frac\pi6}+\int_{\frac{5\pi}6}^{2\pi}\right\}(1-\cos(2\theta))\,\mathrm d\theta-\int_{\frac\pi6}^{\frac{5\pi}6}(1+\cos(2\theta))\,\mathrm d\theta\right)+\frac{25}2\int_{\frac\pi6}^{\frac{5\pi}6}\csc^2(\theta)\,\mathrm d\theta$

$=\boxed{25\sqrt3+\dfrac{125\pi}3}$

We can verify this geometrically:

• the area of the larger circle is 100π

• the area of the smaller circle is 25π

• the area of the circular segment, i.e. the part of the larger circle that is bounded below by the line y = 5, has area 100π/3 - 25√3

Hence the area of the region of interest is

100π - 25π - (100π/3 - 25√3) = 125π/3 + 25√3

as expected.

the square of a certain whole number n is n^2. if 60 is a factor of n^2, it's possible that ? is not a factor of n^2. a)16 b)25

DanielleElmas [232]

If 60 is a factor of n², then √60 is a factor of n. However, n is a whole number, so its factors are whole numbers.

Simplify √60:
$\sqrt{60}=\sqrt{4 \times 15}=2\sqrt{15}$

If 2√15 is a factor of a whole number n, then √15 must be another factor to make it a whole number.

$2\sqrt{15} \times \sqrt{15}=2 \times 15=2 \times 3 \times 5$

If 60 is a factor of n², then 2, 3, and 5 must be factors of n. The factors of n² are the squares of the factors of n, so 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 must be factors of n².

Now, if 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 are factors of n², then:
* 5×5=25 must also be its factor
* 2×2×3×3=36 must also be its factor
* 2×2×5×5=100 must also be its factor

Only 16 may not be a factor of n². The answer is A.
