I just don't get why people keep churning out glut of WhatsApp groups both 'fecklessly' and 'recklessly'. Someone will just post a job or Scholarship advert, before u blink your eyes, one person has created WhatsApp group, the most irking and worse of it is, you'll still see surfeit of persons dropping their numbers with alacrity like their success depends on it, even when most of them don't have any iota-of-idea about the essence of the group.

My grievance is, if the Op of this thread had created a WhatsApp group for this scholarship advert in the first place, do you think some persons would have been privy to this info. Another question is, what're you guys even discussing in the group when none of you are neither flexisaf nor ptdf officials, and not like ptdf has started propagating messages to successful applicants for the next stage.

Why not disseminate any veritable info whatsoever, in this thread; it'll be useful to both current and future scholars and It would really go a long way in helping and guiding other future prospective scholars applying for this same scholarship. Hence, it's sustainable. Unlike WhatsApp group that might be terminated even before the end of the program, which will be only useful to current scholars. Let us try as much as possible to imbibe and inculcate an altruistic disposition and inclination.

Pls,educate me,how did u arrive at d formular? The one I'm used to is fv = p(1+r)^n

It's actually the same formula as Annuity from Future value;
A = r(FV)/[(1+r)ⁿ - 1]

Where FV = P(1+r)ⁿ

You could check up the formula of Annuity from FV for corroboratn n easy 'pray tell' on how dey derived the 4mula.

Pls, how did u arrive at '#9786' as total interest payments?. I don rack my brain tire. Abeg explain

Lol...d method is quite intricate n arduous. You can use the usual method below

M = P [i(1+i)^n/(1+i)^n - 1]
Where M = monthly Loan repayments
i = r/12 = 0.12/12 = 0.01
n = 36 mnts

M = 50000[0.01(1.01^36)/1.01^36 - 1]
M = 50000[0.0143077/0.43077]
M = 50000[0.033214]
M = N1660.71

After solving for your X, you should put the value of X back in the proft equation (the equation that generated that value of X, i.e after checking for the critical point), which is -15x^2 +210x - 60.
I think I know where you got 715 from which i think is wrong. You dont insert X back into the cost and selling equations, rather it must be inserted into the profit equation to obtain the equivalent maximum profit.

If i am wrong, then you may have to thoroughly convince me because I haven't seen such approach you just used.

You got it wrong by multiplying d profit by 3

I want to know how the profit is $715

Profit = x(x/3+100) - 2x²+30x+20
Profit = x²/3 + 100x - (2x²+30x+20)
Profit = -5x²/3 + 70x - 20
Profit is maximum when dp/dx = 0
dp/dx = -10x/3 + 70 = 0
x = 21

Profit = -5x²/3 + 70x - 20
Profit = -735+1470-20
Profit = $715

Forum Games › Re: Solve This Maths To Get Your Age (game Of The Day) by Polymath56: 9:29am On May 16, 2016

Rhaspody:
this is no genius. but clever thinking
the initial maths just gives a result that's higher than 2016 and ends in 16. and it only works if the last two digits are above 0.

lol, bro, chillax na..don't u fink a genius is quite synonymous 2 bn clever n can b likened 2 a clever thinker.

Although, solving d whole maths n representing ur last digit of ur phone no as x, one wld derive dis eqn;
(100x + 2016)
This means, irrespective of d last digit of ur 4ne no (x), whn u subtract ur age 4rm d summation, d last 2 digits of d ansa u get wld definitely b ur real age,while d first digit wld b d last digit of ur 4ne no.
Let say d last digit of ur phone no is 6 and your date of birth is 1990
That means x=6
100(6)+2016=2616
2616 - 1990 = 626
Whr d last 2 digits is ur real age (26) and d 1st digit is d last digit of your phone no (6).

But thr is a limitatn 2 dis rule/eqn as it can not be applied to a man dat is above 99yrs (i.e. 3 digit age)..u won't get d exact yrs except d last 2digits of his age.

A typical 9gerian man wld say "WHO 1STCLASS DON HELP 4 DIS COUNTRY?", But d truth is dey r not wrong owing 2 socioeconomic n political situatns in d country, as many 1st class r stl unemployed n trying 2 mk ends meet..
Leaving DAT aside n delving 2 d nitty gritty of dis thread..I'm really enthralled at ur zest n penchant 4 wanting 2 mk 1st class n I wanna commend u 4 DAT...d truth is, thr r no 2 similar principles exuded by First class holders,, my methods might b different 4rm others...
Below r some of d major precepts dat made me had a topnotch result even in an unfavorable environment (one of d worst depts in ma skl)
1) Diligent n assiduous in ur studies: you shld b able 2 work hard n go d extra miles when reading
2) Read based on ur capability
3)Consistency in your studying time-schedule.. If u decide dat u wanna read 7hrs per day, u shld b consistent with it
4) Go to Class regularly cos sometyms some questns DAT comes out in d exam might not b in d material or textbks recommended by d lecturer..
5) Don't be too hauty or supercilious 2 learn from friends coz no man is an island
6)Understand ur lecturers, their marking schemes n their modes of answering questns..some might like d direct n succinct answers while others might prefer d verbose n wordy answers
7) Every Prize comes wif a Price..u wld hv to curtail n harness d tym u spend on social media. Optimize n mk judicious use of ur tym
cool

Cultivate the habit of asking questions in class; whn a questn looks obscure 2 u, u shld b able 2 hv d impetus n courage 2 ask questns 4rm d lecturers.
9)Avoid having problems with ur lecturers. Don't allow ur erudite adroitness 2 becloud ur sense of reasoning n deferent dispositn
10)Try 2 gather materials n start reading evn b4 d beginning of a semester. Try to read ahead of class
11) When others come to u 4 academic assistance, try 2 render help 2 dem cos d more u teach dem, d more u improve n enhance ur knowledge on DAT course..but it shld b done wif moderatn, so dat it won't affect ur own time.
12) Embrace the God-factor n be prayerful cos its not of he dat willeth nor of he dat runneth but its of d Lord dat showeth mercies...

The List is interminable. Just make do with the aforementioned precepts, it wld really help u
