Let B=[1 3
5 3] i.e a 2*2 matrix , if f(x)=2x^2-4x 3 , what is f(B)?

N/B the options are also in matrix form . Please solve it vividly for me thank you

So that is the solving and you Have just gotten it as the answer . How do I thank you and the gurus here ? Either way I remain loyal , thank you and may God almighty keep you fit so to continue solving our questions for us . That question above na 200 level question ooo and we for we class nobody fit get that question right ... Once again thank you
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Emdee590(m): 7:28am On Mar 19, 2015
Abeg make una no tire for me and ma questions ooo, because it is good that I know every steps involved in any solving as ma younger ones are looking unto me for solutions to some of their mathematical problems...una no know that kind thing again ?

did you just say 200level??

Is ur school a university, Polytechnic, college of education or a monotechnic??

Your dept?? Is it science or social sciences?

If it is social science, then no problem but if otherwise, wahala dey oo

y=(sinx)^x^3 find dy/dx
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by agentofchange1(m): 9:52am On Mar 19, 2015
bolkay47:
y=(sinx)^x^3 find dy/dx
here

take natural logarithm of both sides

=> lny=x^3 ln(sinx)

differentiating implicitly we have ,

=> y'/y = 3x^2 ln(sinx) + x^3cosx/sinx

=> y' =dy/dx =y(3x^2ln(sinx) +x^3cotx )

or dy/dx = x^2[ xcotx + 3ln(sinx) ] * (sinx)^(x^3)

that's it man.

200L Math department? Na wa oh, na hin that matrix problem dey give una wahala like that? But no offense, una really need to buckle-up be that oh!

Is it that most of you were pushed to Math department when you applied to study something else? Anyways, na determination na hin be the key sha!

bros, it is very ridiculous to be teaching 200L mathematics student that concept.. Infact, it shld be in MTH101 and 3 by 3 matrix..

Your mates in other skuls are busy battling wit tensor analysis and the likes..
Not ur fault though, but the fault of those ppl that designed your school curriculum
I'm very disappointed OP..

Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Nobody:
yoji:
Pls gurus I need help with this situation:
A car of costing 1,750,000 is to b used for 3yrs after which its to b sold off at quarter d price(437,500).if it was used for 4yrs and 3mnths, hw much shud it b sold??
At 0 year the car cost 1,750,000 (0, 1,750,000)
In 3 years the car worth is 437,500 (3, 437,500)
Slope: m=y2-y1/x2-x1
437500-1750000/3-0= -1312500/3=-437500

Line of equation using point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-1750000=-437500(x-0)
y-1750000=-437500x
y=-437500x + 1750000
y=-437500(4.3) + 1750000
y=-131,250

Exactly!

I was surprised myself bruv! How can a University be teaching 200 L Math students High School & UTME Mathematics? I wonder for some schools sha! Smdh...

its OK bro , to God be glory , we learn daily , put more effort , practice daily with determination , don't always rush to post questions here or give some1 else without you actually trying exhaustively & extensively to obtain valid solution . only after which still didn't get it , then you could seek for help from others
that's how you learn / develop/ improve. your mathematical prowess .

haa! cheesy are you for real?
I answered exactly this type of question in this recently concluded jamb. Just a little change in the numerical values.
200L maths? Wow. Jamb is crazy!!!

This question was one of the questions that took my time that i couldn't finish answering all the tough questions. It took me 2mins. I made sure i got the answer though cheesy

OK

+++++++++++++solution +++++++++++

let's consider content of the denominator

x2 +2x +10

complete the square we. get

x2 +2x +1-1+10

=(x+1)2 +9

we now have

$(x+3)dx /√((x+1)2 +32)

set x+1=3tan¢ .........(*)

dx=3sec2 ¢ d¢

thus we have

$ (x+3)/√(9(tan2¢ +1) * 3sec2¢ d¢

simplifies to

$(x+3)sec¢d¢

recall from (*),
x+1=3tan¢ , => x= 3tan¢-1

=> $(3tan¢ +2)sec¢ d¢

=> 3$sin¢ d¢ /cos2 ¢ +2$sec¢ d¢

now computing using substitution ,

we get

3sec¢ +2In(sec¢ + tan¢ ) + k


where sec¢ & tan¢ = √((x+1)2 +9 )/3

& (x+1)/3. respectively.


deduce & reduce further

that's it man ,


hope u get ?

benji93:
let me give you a hint,complete the triangle by joining the dip points,then by applying circle theorem you have the upper angle gives you 90 degrees,then you can use congruent shapes to find the radius of the larger circle and then the area of the square
benji93:
What is the area of the large square ?
Using the center of the figure as O, the point where the two circles meet as A & the points where the smaller circle touches the horizontal & vertical axis as C & B respectively,
OC = x, OB = y
OA = r = 6 + x = 4 + y
=> y - x = 2
AC = x + r
BC2 = x2 + y2
AB2 = r2 + y2
Using circle theorem,
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
r2 + y2 + x2 + y2 = (x + r)2
r2 + 2y2 + x2 = x2 + 2xr + r2
2y2 = 2xr
Substitute 2 + x & 6 + x for y & r respectively into the above equation
2(2 + x)2 = 2x(6 + x)
(2 + x)2 = 6x + x2
4 + 4x + x2 = 6x + x2
4 = 6x - 4x
x = 2
=> y = 4, r = 8
The area of the larger square = 4r2
= 4 * 8 * 8

Don't mention

its fun solving but not fun typing ..



its well.

Hello Guys,
Forget about mah moniker grin

Plz help me with dis
Z = ¡^1001

Av tried all mathematical tricks i kw, but i stil got stooked!
Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Nobody: 7:14pm On Mar 23, 2015
bolkay47:
Try this :::: 500=20x+22y. Find x and y
From LHS

500 => 20(14) + 22(10)

Since LHS = RHS
Comparing LHS & RHS yields =>

20(14) + 22(10) = 20x + 22y
14 + 10 = x + y
thus =>
x = 14 and y = 10
