The mean of the numbers 1, 4, k, (k + 4) and 11 is (k + 1). Calculate the :
(a) value of k ;
(b) standard deviation.
(a) A body of mass 3kg moves with a velocity of 8ms\(^{-1}\). It collides with a second body moving in the same direction with a velocity of 5ms\(^{-1}\). After collision, the bodies move together with a velocity of 6ms\(^{-1}\). Find the mass of the second body.
(b) If the second body in (a) moves with a velocity of 5ms\(^{-1}\) in the opposite direction as that of the 3kg body with a velocity of 8ms\(^{-1}\), find, correct to two decimal places, the common velocity of the two bodies if they move together after collision.
Given that \(p = \begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}, q = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(r = \begin{pmatrix} 17 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(r = \alpha r + \beta q\), where \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are scalars, express q in terms of r and p.
(a) Without using mathematical tables or calculator, evaluate \(\frac{\frac{3}{2}\log 27 - 3\log 5\sqrt{5}}{\log 0.6}\)
(b) Two linear transformations A and B in the \(O_{xy}\) plane, are defined by :
\(A : (x, y) (x + 2y, -x + y)\)
\(B : (x, y) (2x + 3y, x + 2y)\).
(i) Write down the matrices A and B; (ii) Find the image of the point P(-2, 2) under the linear transformation A followed by B.
(a)(i) Write down the expansion of \((1 + x)^{7}\) in ascending powers of x.
(ii) If the coefficients of the fifth, sixth and seventh terms in the expansion in (a)(i) above form a linear sequence(A.P), find the common difference of the A.P.
(b) Using the trapezium rule with ordinates at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, calculate, correct to two decimal places,
\(\int_{1}^{5} \sqrt{(2x + 8x^{2})} \mathrm {d} x\).
