What must 'a' be for (a x 5) to end with zero?

A number ending with zero is divisible by 10. A number is divisible by 10 if it is divisible by both 2 and 5. For a product to end in zero, one of the factors must be divisible by 5. Therefore, the value of 'a' must be divisible by 5.

When do two equations have no solution?

The pair of equations have no solution if the lines are parallel (same slope, different y-intercepts). The slope of the first equation is -2/3. The slope of the second equation is -2k/9. For the lines to be parallel, the slopes must be equal.

How to find the relationship between coefficients if quadratic roots are reciprocals?

If the zeroes of a quadratic are reciprocals, then the product of the zeroes is 1. The product of the zeroes of the quadratic ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to c/a.

What is the discriminant of a quadratic equation?

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the value under the radical in the quadratic formula. It tells us about the nature of the roots. The discriminant of the equation bx^2 + ax + c = 0, b≠ 0 is a^2 - 4bc.

How to check if a sequence is arithmetic?

An arithmetic progression (AP) is a sequence where each term is equal to the previous term plus a constant difference (common difference). To be in AP, the difference between consecutive terms must be constant. The common difference between the first and second term equals the common difference between the third and fourth term. The common difference between the second and third term equals the common difference between the fourth and fifth term.

How to find the radius of a circle given two endpoints of its diameter?

The diameter of a circle is the line segment that passes through the center and connects two points on the circle. The radius of a circle is half the length of its diameter. The distance formula is used to calculate the distance between two points.

What kind of triangle is formed by the given vertices?

A triangle with one right angle is called a right triangle. A triangle with two sides of equal length is called an isosceles triangle. A triangle with all sides of equal length is called an equilateral triangle. A triangle with all sides of different lengths is called a scalene triangle.

How to calculate the area of a circle sector?

The area of a sector of a circle is a portion of the circle's area. The area of a sector is proportional to the central angle of the sector. The area of the whole circle is πR^2. The area of a sector with central angle 'p' is (p/360) times the area of the whole circle.

Study Notes

Trigonometry and Geometry Problems

  • Problem 1: If p = (a x 5), for p to end with the digit zero, 'a' must be an even number
  • Problem 2: If 2x + 3y = 7, kx + 9/2y = 12 have no solution, then k = 3
  • Problem 3: If zeroes of ax² + bx + c = 0 are reciprocals, then a = c
  • Problem 4: The discriminant of bx² + ax + c = 0 (b ≠ 0) is √(b² - 4ac)
  • Problem 5: If a, 7, b, 23, c are in AP, then a = -1, c = 31
  • Problem 6: End points of a diameter are (2, 4) and (-3, -1). The radius is 5√2 / 2 units
  • Problem 7: Points (-4, 0), (4, 0), (0, 3) form a right triangle
  • Problem 8: Area of a sector (angle p, radius R) is (p x Ï€ x R²) / 360
  • Problem 9: If 4 tan θ = 3, then (4 sin θ - cos θ) / (4 sin θ + cos θ) = 1/3
  • Problem 10: In a right-angled triangle ABC at B, AB = 5 cm, ∠ACB = 30°, BC = 5√3 cm
