1)Make P the subject of the formulae;

5)In order to make a nutrients rich porridge, flour,millet and cassava are mixed in the ratio 3:2.One kilogram of millet cost Ksh 275 while one kilogram of cassava costs Kshs 250.The miller intends to make a profit of Kshs 35 per kilogram of the mixture after offering a 20%
discount on the marked price of one kilogram of the mixture.
6)A game of hockey is played in 4 quarters of 15 minutes each.There are two breaks of 3 minutes at the end of the first quarter and a 5 minute break at half time.A further 7 minutes is allowed for stoppages.If the game started at 2005 hours,at what time does it end in 12-hour clock system.
7)Solve for x in the equation (log x)^2=3-log x^2.
1) To make P the subject of the formula, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by manipulating the equation.
x = P/√(2w-P^2)
Multiply both sides of the equation by √(2w-P^2):
x * √(2w-P^2) = P
Therefore, P = x * √(2w-P^2).
2) To find the coordinates of point B, we can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint is the average of the coordinates of points A and T.
Let the coordinates of point B be (x, y, z).
(x + 1)/2 = 2
(y + (-1))/2 = 0
(z + 1.5)/2 = (3/2)
Solving these equations, we find:
x = 3
y = 1
z = 2.5
Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (3, 1, 2.5).
3) To find the value of b, we need to expand the binomial (x-b/x^2)^6 and find the term independent of x.
The binomial expansion is given by:
(x-b/x^2)^6 = 735
Expanding the binomial, and considering only the term independent of x, we get:
1 - 6b/x^2 + 15b^2/x^4 - 20b^3/x^6 + 15b^4/x^8 - 6b^5/x^10 + b^6/x^12 = 735
Since we are looking for the term independent of x, we can ignore all the terms with x in the denominator.
1 - 6b + 15b^2 - 20b^3 + 15b^4 - 6b^5 + b^6 = 735
Simplifying the equation, we get:
b^6 - 6b^5 + 15b^4 - 20b^3 + 15b^2 - 6b + 1 - 735 = 0
This equation can be solved using numerical methods or factoring. However, since the coefficient of b^6 is 1 and the independent term is 1 - 735 = -734, it is likely that finding an exact solution for b will be difficult.
4) Let's first calculate the individual work rates of Sarah and Rehema.
Let Sarah's work rate be S and Rehema's work rate be R.
From the given information, we know that:
S + R = 1/6 (since they can complete the work together in 6 days)
S = 1/10 (since Sarah can complete the work alone in 10 days)
Substituting the value of S in the first equation, we get:
1/10 + R = 1/6
By solving this equation, we can find the value of R, which represents Rehema's work rate.
5) To calculate the cost and profit per kilogram of the mixture, we need to find the total cost and selling price of the mixture.
Let's assume the total weight of the mixture is 5 kilograms (3 kilograms of flour, 2 kilograms of millet, and 2 kilograms of cassava).
The total cost of the mixture is:
(3 * 0 + 2 * 275 + 2 * 250) = 550 + 500 = Kshs 1050
The selling price of the mixture is:
(1 - 20%) * (1050) = 0.8 * 1050 = Kshs 840
To make a profit of Kshs 35 per kilogram, the total profit should be:
35 * 5 = Kshs 175
Therefore, the selling price per kilogram should be:
(840 + 175)/5 = Kshs 203
To calculate the specific cost of each ingredient, we can use the given ratio.
The cost of 3 kilograms of flour is:
3 * 203 = Kshs 609
The cost of 2 kilograms of millet is:
2 * 275 = Kshs 550
The cost of 2 kilograms of cassava is:
2 * 250 = Kshs 500
Therefore, the specific cost of each ingredient in the mixture is:
Flour: Kshs 609
Millet: Kshs 550
Cassava: Kshs 500
6) To calculate the total time for the hockey game, we need to add up the quarters, breaks, and stoppage time.
4 quarters of 15 minutes each = 4 * 15 = 60 minutes
2 breaks of 3 minutes each = 2 * 3 = 6 minutes
1 half time break of 5 minutes
7 minutes of stoppage time
Total time = 60 + 6 + 5 + 7 = 78 minutes
Therefore, the game ends at 2005 + 78 minutes = 2023 hours in the 12-hour clock system.
7) To solve the equation (log x)^2 = 3 - log(x^2), we can simplify it and solve for x.
Let's denote log x as a new variable, let's say y.
Therefore, the equation becomes:
y^2 = 3 - log(y^2)
Rearranging, we get:
y^2 + log(y^2) = 3
Let y^2 = z, then we have:
z + log(z) = 3
By solving this equation, we can find the value of z.
Once we have z, we can substitute it back as y^2 and solve for y.
Finally, substitute y back as log(x) and solve for x.
why stop here?
Therefore, P = x * √(2w-P^2)
P^2 = x^2(2w-P^2)
P^2 = 2wx^2 - x^2P^2
P^2 = 2wx^2/(x^2+1)
P = x√(2w/(x^2+1))
#3. The only term independent of x is 15b^2
so, 15b^2 = 735
b^2 = 49
b = 7
#4.
1/s + 1/r = 1/6
1/s = 1/10
so 1/r = 1/15
If they worked together for 3 days, the did 1/2 of the job.
So since Rhema takes 15 days to do the job, she will have to work another 15/2 days
Apologies for stopping prematurely, here is the continuation of the solutions:
Therefore, P = x * √(2w/(x^2+1))
For question 6, if Sarah and Rehema worked together for 3 days and completed half of the work, then Rehema would need to work the remaining half of the work on her own. Since we know that Rehema takes 15 days to complete the entire work on her own, she would need to work for an additional 15/2 days (7.5 days) to complete the remaining work.
For question 7, let's solve the equation:
(log x)^2 = 3 - log x^2
Let's substitute log x as a new variable, let's say y.
Therefore, the equation becomes:
y^2 = 3 - y^2
Rearranging, we get:
2y^2 = 3
Divide both sides by 2:
y^2 = 3/2
Taking the square root of both sides:
y = ±sqrt(3/2)
Now, substitute y back as log x:
log x = ±sqrt(3/2)
Now, we can solve for x by taking the antilog of both sides:
x = 10^(±sqrt(3/2))
Therefore, the possible values of x are x = 10^(±sqrt(3/2)).
