Questions and Answers

Solve the quadratic equation $x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0$ using analytical techniques.

Factorization: $x^2 + 5x - 6 = (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0$ , so $x = -6$ or $x = 1$.

A rectangular prism has a length of 6cm, a width of 4cm and a height of 3cm. Find its surface area.

Surface area = 2(lw + lh + wh) = 2(64 + 63 + 4*3) = 2(24 + 18 + 12) = 108 cm²

A sphere has a radius of 5cm. Find its volume.

Volume = (4/3)πr³ = (4/3)π(5)³ = (500/3)π = 523.6 cm³

A car is travelling at a speed of 60 km/h. If the distance from the starting point to the finishing point is directly proportional to the time taken, determine the constant of proportionality.

<p>Distance = speed * time, so k = 60 km/h.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Draw a graph to illustrate the relationship between the distance an object travels and time, given that the object accelerates uniformly from rest.

A ship is sailing due east at a speed of 20 km/h. If the bearing of a lighthouse from the ship is 060°, how far is the ship from the lighthouse?

<p>Use the cosine rule: c² = 20² + l² - 2(20)(l)cos(60°), where l is the distance from the ship to the lighthouse.</p> Signup and view all the answers

A triangular prism has a base area of 20 cm² and a height of 8cm. Find its volume.

<p>Volume = base area * height = 20 * 8 = 160 cm³</p> Signup and view all the answers
