Re: Unilag 2015/2016 Admission by Umartins1(m): 1:38am On Apr 18, 2015
14. if the sum of the first two terms of a G.P is 3
and the sum of the second and the third terms is
-6, find the sum of the first term and the
common ratio.
a. -5. B. 5. C. -2. D. -3
______________________________________
a + ar = 3 ------------ (1)
ar + ar2 = -6....... (2)

a (1+r) = 3....... (3)
ar (1+r) = -6.......(4)

Eqn (4) / (3)
r= -2
Sub. For r in a+ar=3
a + a(-2) = 3
a-2a=3
-a=3
a=-3

a + r =
-2 + (-3)
-2-3
-5 ........... Option A


________________________________________

15. The binary operation ¤ is defined by x¤y=x
+2y, find 2¤(3¤4).
A. 14. B. 26. C. 24. D. 16
________________________________________

x¤y = x+2y
3¤4 = 3 + 2(4)
3+8
=11

2¤11

2 + 2(11)
2+22
=24................... Option C

_______________________________________

16. A chord of a circle subtends an angle 120
degrees at the centre of circle of diameter
4root3cm. Calculate the area of the major
sector.
A. 32pi. B. 4pi. C. 8pi. D. 16pi
_________________________________________
the angle of the major sector = 360-120= 240
Note: what was given is diameter. It has to be divided by 2 to get the radius.
Area= titre/360 * pi r2
= 240 / 360 * pi * 2root 32
2/3 * pi * 12
24pi/3
=8pi...... Option C

__________________________________________

17. If the mid point of the line PQ is (2,3) and
the point P is (-2, 1), find the coordinate of the
point Q.
A. (8,6) b. (5,6). C. (0,4). D. (6,5)
____________________________________________
midpoint= x1 + x2/2 , y1 + y 2/ 2
-2+x/2 = 2, 1+y/2 = 3
-2+x=4, 1+y=6
X=4+2, y=6-1
X=6, y=5
The coordinate of Q is (6, 5)... Option D

_______________________________________

18. Integrate (1+x)/x^3. dx.
A. 2x^2-1/x. B. -1/2x^2 - 1/x. C. -x^2/2-1/x. D.
X^2-1/x
______________________________________
1/x3 + x/x3
= x-3 + x1-3
= x-3 + x-2
= x-3+1 / -2 + x-2+1 / -1
= -x-2 / 2 - x-1
= -1/x2/2 - 1/x
=-1/x2 * 1/2 - 1/x
= -1/2x2 - 1/x + K.... Option B

____________________________________________

19. Evaluate the integral of sinx with pi/2 as the
upper value and 0 as the lower value.
a. -2. B. 2. C. 1. D. -1
___________________________________________

the integration of sinx gives -cosx
Pi is 180
Therefore pi/2= 90
-cos90 - (-cos0)
0- (-1). Note: cos 90=0, cos 0=1
= 1...... Option C


____________________________________
20. The radius of a circle is increasing at the rate
of 0.02 cm/s. Find the rate at which the area is
increasing when the radius of the circle is 7cm.
A. 0.35 cm^2/s. B. 0.88. C. 0.75. D. 0.55
________________________________________

A= pi r2
dA/dr= 2pi r

dt/dr= 0.02

dA/dt = dA/dr * dr/dt
= 2 pi r * 0.02
= 2 * 22/7 * 7 * 0.02
= 44 * 0.02
= 44 * 2/100. (Because, calculator is disallowed)
= 88/100
= 0.88cm2s-1.... Option B

21. If Log 18 + Log 3 - Log x = 3, find x [ everything
is in base 3]
A. 1. B. 2. C. 0. D. 3
________________________________________
log318 + log33 - log3x =3

Log3 (18*3)/x = 3
Log354/x = 3
33 = 54/x
27= 54/x
27x=54
X= 54/27
X= 2................ Option B

(4*1/2)2
= 2 2
= 4

4x-16x2 is the same thing as 16x2-4x ??

Let the number to be added to the expression be u2

16x2-4x+u2=0

Therefore
162+u2

(16+u)2

(16x+u) (16+u)

256x2+32xu+u2

We now have

16x2-4x+u2=256x2+32xu+u2

Equating the middle term

-4x=32xu
-4x/32x=u
u=-1/8

Since u=-1/8

Then

u2=(-1/cool2

u2=1/64[no option is correct]
