Four boys participated in a competition in which their respective chances of winning prizes are \(\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\). What is the probability that at most two of them win prizes?
Forces \(F_{1} = (10 N, 090°), F_{2} = (20 N, 210°)\) and \(F_{3} = (4 N, 330°)\) act on a body at rest on a smooth table. Find, correct to one decimal place, the magnitude of the resultant force.
An object is projected vertically upwards. Its height, h m, at time t seconds is given by \(h = 20t - \frac{3}{2}t^{2} - \frac{2}{3}t^{3}\). Find
(a) the time at which it is momentarily at rest (b) correct to two decimal places, the maximum height reached by the object.
(a) The roots of the equation \(x^{2} + mx + 11 = 0\) are \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\), where m is a constant. If \(\alpha^{2} + \beta^{2} = 27\), find the values of m.
(b) The line \(2x + 3y = 1\) intersects the circle \(2x^{2} + 2y^{2} + 4x + 9y - 9 = 0\) at points P and Q where Q lies in the fourth quadrant. Find the coordinates of P and Q.
(a) Solve the equation : \(\sqrt{4x - 3} - \sqrt{2x - 5} = 2\).
(b) Find the finite area enclosed by the curve \(y^{2} = 4x\) and the line \(y + x = 0\).
