Answer:

a. 4 marks b. 9 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Anu gets 8 correct answer and 12 incorrect answers what is her score?

Since Anu got 8 correct answer and 12 incorrect answers, and + 5 marks is given for every correct answer and (-3) marks are given for every incorrect answer, the total score for correct answers is number of correct answer × marks for correct answer = 8 × (+ 5) = 40.

Also,  the total score for incorrect answers is number of incorrect answer × marks for incorrect answer = 12 × (- 3) = -36.

Anu's total score = total score for correct answers + total score for incorrect answers = 40 + (-36) = 40 - 36 = 4 marks.

So, Anu scored 4 marks.

b) Sam answered all the questions and scored 28 marks though he got 11 correct answers.  How many incorrect answers had he attempted?

Let x be the number of incorrect answers. Since the marks for incorrect answers is -3, then his total score for incorrect answers is -3x.

Since Sam got 11 correct answers and is given + 5 marks for each correct answer, then his total score for correct answers is 11 × (+5) = +55.

Since he gets a total of 28 marks, we have that total score for incorrect answer + total score for correct answer = 28.

So, -3x + 55 = 28

Solving for x, we have

-3x = 28 - 55

-3x = -27

x = -27/-3

x = 9

Since x = 9, Sam attempted 9 incorrect questions.

Remark

This will be a little late, but I'll answer it anyway. The more you see of the sine law, the clearer it will be.


Step One

Set up the sine Law.

\dfrac{Sin(x)}{12}=\dfrac{sin(75)}{22}


Step Two

Substitute values

Sin(x) = ??

sin(75) = 0.9659


\dfrac{Sin(x)}{12}=\dfrac{0.9659}{22}


Step Three

Cross multiply and Solve

22* Sin(x) = 12 * 0.9659

22* Sin(x) = 11.591 divide by 22

sin(x) = 11.591 / 22

sin(x) = 0.5269


Step Four

You have to know how to use the inverse of an angle to get the answer. I do it as my calculator would do it. If it doesn't work with yours, let me know.


x = sin^-1(0.5269)

2nd F

Sin^-1

(

0.5269

)

=

You should get 31.79 degrees.
