the correct answer is C

My dad also said I could try other job portals. He told me to try https://www.careers24.com.ng. It crossed my mind to post some actual job listings. I tried Marketing, it gave 4000 + positions. The one thing I notised is that you don't really need a degree in Marketing. Here we go:

So sorry for replying this late. I just saw this post now. For job prospects, you are good to go with either Marketing or Business Administration. All companies need either of professionals. I showed my dad this post and asked him what his thoughts were. He said the two courses are good but you need passion to succeed. He also pointed me to a website. The name of the website is Jobberman and asked me to do search with the two professions. And when I did: here are the two results:

335 Marketing Jobs in Nigeria matching your search criteria
(https://www./jobs-in-nigeria/?keywords=Marketing&job_level=)

and for Business Administration

128 Business Administration Jobs in Nigeria matching your search criteria
(https://www./jobs-in-nigeria/?keywords=Business+Administration&job_level=)

If the links do not work, just go to https://www./ and do the search

A word of caution here, however. There are very many people who are marketers today who did not study Marketing in school. It boils down to passion. You need to have flair for selling, in fact you must have the ability to sell ice to the Eskimos and people-oriented. Another thing you need to put at the back of your mind is that some industries tend to employ their professionals for marketing position (as my dad told me). A very good example is pharmaceutical companies. May and Baker or other drug companies will most likely employ a pharmacist as a marketer because of the need to have very good knowledge of the products they are selling.

Note also that a Business Administration grad can easily fit in as a marketer if s\he has the natural flair to sell. As you go higher in the corporate ladder you will see a Business Admin grad pursuing his Master in Marketing and ultimately becoming the Chief Marketing Officer of his or her company. Similarly, you see a marketer having an Master in Business Administration (MBA)

Once again I apologise for replying late, but I did not see this thread until just now, and by now you would have chosen or fill your JAMB form. I hope this will be useful for others who will later come across this thread.

Best of luck in your JAMB and best of luck in your future career

adenolaabel:
I suggest you write the workings on paper and upload, typing is kind of confusing. thanks in advance.

OK. Will see to that

Welcome back. And how was the new year holiday? We are now back and let's get going. Remember what I wrote the other day when I said: 4 = 100₂. It simply means 4 in base 10 is equal to 100₂ in base 2. We have been 'wired' to think in base 10. Other bases exist naturally. We have 7-day week which is in base 7.

BRB

Really proud on your brother. Keep on aiming high. We will all (the determined, the focused) get there. And hey, live your dream. You can't disappoint us: we the focused Gang. Dream it, live it and have it. King Olusa, on behalf of the Awesome People, once again, I say welcome to your year of fulfillment. Stay bless

@ LordeCalifornia (and to others that may get confused by my sloppy explanation) I am sorry. I should have been more explicit

0.75
* 6
-----
4 5
* 6
----
3 0

The best strategy is to convert the fraction to decimal. So we all know how I arrived at 0.75. The zero (0) is really part of the answer, so we are done with that. So we will mentally put it aside (it is part of the final answer). We will only multiply the figures to the right of radix (.) You may decide to ignore the radix (.), mentally that is. The trick is ALWAYS IGNORE the leftmost figure, so now multiply .75 * 6. This gives (4) 5
What do we do next? Mentally keep away the 4 (it is part of the answer). We are left with (.)5
What next? Multiply the 5 with 6. That gives us (3) 0. Now we know we are in the terminal point because even if we multiply 0 by 6 it will still give 0, so we know we are done.

Please go through the steps with the new explanation and you will understand.

I sincerely hope I am more explicit, and sorry for not making myself clear.

Cheers and God bless

Matinoh:
keep the good work.. op will you treat topics like Jacobian, Laplace transform, Fourier series, calculus??

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, I did not plan to include those topics. Those who will be interested in those kinds of topics will not need Maths to be demystified for them. From the way we started, it is from gentle intro to the fundamentals. It is like things are going way high from what I planned. From the viewpoint of availability of time, it may not be feasible. I have been getting offers of assistance from people, and if you are willing, we can see how we can incorporate all those. I will consult with those who offered to help, and if we arrive at the conclution of doing those, we will include them.

Thanks for reading and if you want to help, you are most welcome
Cheers.

Happy New Year to everybody. Just came back from church. I pray that good things will come our way this year

@winsomelady

Convert 3/4 to base six

This is criminally easy

3/4 = X₆
By way of explanation, first let's consider a random number 6842(say). To convert to base x, we simply do this:
6 * x⁴ + 8 * x³ + 4 * x² + 2 * x¹.

Similarly, to convert 0.6842 to base x, we multiply repeatedly by the base until it equals to 0
The first thing we should do is to convert the fraction to its decimal equivalent. Thus, 3/4 = 0.75. As I indicated above, continue multiplying the fractions to the right of decimal point until multiplication is no more possible.

0.75
* 6
-----
4 5
* 6
----
3 0

Iterating from top to buttom (the bolded), we have 0.43
You can see it is dead easy

Ocheinstein:
Guys I greet you all. I am standing as the most unlearned member of this family. I stand corrected but it's high time we mathematicians and physicists stop trying to put down others. It's not fair. We are not perfect. When one is trying, we should try to encourage and not test them to see if they can solve something wr think we are geniuses in. I have once been humbled by a very simple question. And except you have passed through my situation, you will never understand the need to be cautious with higher than normal self esteem. I greet y'all

You are such a darling. It is well said. I am not in any way trying to prove anything. By opening this thread, I just wanted to use the avenue to help others. A lot of people would have love Mathematics but they didn't have anybody to help them. Once again, you are really great. You rock.
Ordinarily, I would not have done the really simple Maths problem, but then I will. Once again, thanks for being such a wonderful person. And by the way I wish you a great new year ahead of you

MrHistorian:
Winsomelady.

just saw it now and it has been solved

GdexFolami:
lol nothing dear ,the field of study in which I am right now will make me forget I once did maths in my life .
Its better to just leg go willingly and take a bow.
Diff times of life for diff concentrations ,I hope you could understand .

Oh dear I do understand. For anybody that did Cowbell, MAN and others, I always duff my hats for them. I duff my hat for you as well. You can be sure you are well regarded by me.
The important thing is to find fulfilment in life. All the best

I sincerely wish I could change the title to MATHS DEMYSTIFIED
Let's quickly review what we have done. We are talking about number system and I said a given number can be represented in different forms. Take the number 4 as example.
1. It can be represented as an integer as 4
2. It can be represented as decimal such as 4.0
3. We also learnt that it can be represented as fraction since 4 = 4/1.
4. 4 = 100₂

For those who are not in the know, Maths can seem daunting and 'unreasonable'. How come, you 'rightly' ask, that 4 is also also equal to 100. Of course, 4 will never be equal to 100. Look at it properly. There is a small 2 below the figures 100. That shows it is in what is called base2. Right from the time we started learning how to count, we have been taught in base 10 or denary. Binary is another number system. It can look 'strange' the first time out but it is really very simple and straight forward when you get a hang on it

Don't think it is only denary and binary that are available. There is no base 1, but we have base 3, 4, 5 ...
There are some bases that occur naturally. Take for example our days. That is in base 7, and in the villages and small towns, markets are opened every 5 days. That is in base5.

Next up, we will talk about arithmetic operations in the number bases. Ocheinstein and IamOlusa, I hope to get in touch and see how we can sych our efforts.

God bless

Thukzee01:
Keep it up jhoor.
Will contribute when needed

Oh Gosh. My Goodness. I am certainly elated to hear this. You are very much needed, and it is now. I am already counting on you and IamOlusa to help out on this. I am surely looking forward to working with you. #AmazingTeam.

christejames:
Great job you are doing there dear... mathematics had been my bane in education but I thank God I'm picking up my pieces in the field of study gradually.

Glad to learn you are picking up. The mistake is hating Maths in the first place, though some of the teachers can make matter really terrible

GdexFolami:
You're doing a phenomenal and frabjous job dear ..keep it up thou its been a while I swithly and vehemently worked maths like that but I remember going for cowbell ,Olympiad and MAN mathematics competitions then.
I miss maths .. Farewell maths

Glad to hear you went for those competitions. You certainly are needed here to help out. Why farewell to Maths? And what can I do or say to tempt you to come back? Please we need your knowledge and experience here

Linkfield:
WTF! is this elementary mathematics??

Bounces outta thread.

Hey, come down your high horse now. Professors Emeritus start from somewhere. Yeah with the help of others, we intend to REALLY DEMYSTIFY Maths. But we need to start from the basics. The least you can do is to roll up your sleeves and help others. Please help in this project. I will be happy you did

jhybosky:

yes I now get it..keep it up dear
u are 1daful

Myhighdreams:
nice one girl.

Princeboca12:


Sweetheart, you are doing a nice job. God bless you. I promise to contribute my own quota when needed

christejames:

optm:
impressive. keep up d gud wrks

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Your thoughtful comments energise me. I am very proud of you all. Once again, thanks

Crizillion1:


how is it 26

Ocheinstein:
Typographical error Sir

It should have been obvious that it is a typo error. Winsomelady is also a human being. I can make mistakes

adamsanchez:
hey happy pple..plz i want to knw if ui av re-gain her lost accreditation 4 pharmacy nd if i can choose dem dix year @ pharmacy........in other words...happy xmass bosses

No words yet about the accreditation, and since nothing has been said about it, I think it will be safer to assume it has not been given. Better be safe than be sorry

Merry Xmas to you all. Hope you had fun-filled time. Love you all.

First and foremost, Merry Xmas to you all.
Secondly and also very important, sorry for 'missing in action' :Did I abandon this? Did I jump ship? Not at all. When I started the thread, I never knew I would be away for sooooooooo long.

Then, I had to travel to have birthday with my 'grandmum' and that was how I was 'detained'. People wanted me to spend some time with them, and I just couldn't refuse (it's been a while that I went home).

When I came back, that was very late in November, and then I wanted to travel to Lagos for the RCCG's yearly Congress. And you know the preps for the Yuletide. So I have had quite a hectic time.

It has been so hectic that I have not been able to read through the replies. While scanning through, I saw your words of encouragement. Thanks to you all. And that is from the bottom of my heart. I will take my time, read through and then give appropriate response.

So so proud of you all. #AmazingPeople

jkstones:




5seconds...4seconds.....if it was minutes you will have to convert to seconds before using the formulas and that would give you a wrong answer in all.

just passing by....nice work!!!

Thanks for the helpful comment. I noticed the error later and had the intention of correcting it. However, I think anybody who is following the logic would have seen it. If you look at the question properly, it said the fifth sec. And from the working, if it had been 5 minutes, conversion would have been necessary.
This part of the statement

So the distance covered in the 5th second =

will tell you it is merely a typo
Thanks once again for letting me know

boyejo123:

moreover, you didn't show how you got yours, so I could learn too,
am here to learn

Here are the proofs

Find the height of a tree which throws a shadow 42 m long on the level ground when the altitude of the sun is 30o

Hope it is clear without further explanation. Note that to remove the square root 3 at the denominator, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by square root 3

psalmhorah:
we are all here to learn

period !!

Sure brother. That is the spirit. Let's learn from one another and make ourselves better

boyejo123:

moreover, you didn't show how you got yours, so I could learn too,

Actually I had the intention of showing this. However, it isn't as important as knowing the values. I will give the proof as soon as I am done with solving the example I gave

DrBESTJC:
PHYSICS.
This is Live Jamb question.

A car accelerates uniformly from rest at 4m/s^2(4 meters per second squared). How far will it travel in the fifth complete second?

This question looks simple but really demanding.

Please I need explanations.

Your comment made me feel very unsure of the question and my little ability in Physics. The question looks so simple that I can't see anything demanding in it. You are to calculate the distance covered in the fifth minute. I think the simplest way to do this is calculate how much distance S₅ is covered in 5 minutes, calculate how much distance S₄ is covered in 4 minutes. Then subtract the two. So here we go
Using 2nd equation of motion S = ut + 1/2at², we first calculate how much distance is covered in 5 minutes.
S₅ = 0*5 + 1/2*4*5*5 (since it accelerates from rest u the initial velocity is 0, a= 4 and t = 5) = 50 m
S₄ = 0*4 + 1/2*4*4*4 (t=4) = 32 m
So the distance covered in the 5^th second = distance covered in 5 minutes - distance covered in 4 minutes = 50-32 = 18 m

I'm impressed.. thumbs up

Really? Thanks man. You are the bomb anyway. I appreciate that
