(a) Make m the subject of the relations \(h = \frac{mt}{d(m + p)}\).

(b)  

In the diagram, WY and WZ are straight lines, O is the centre of circle WXM and < XWM = 48°. Calculate the value of < WYZ.

(c) An operation \(\star\) is defind on the set X = {1, 3, 5, 6} by \(m \star n = m + n + 2 (mod 7)\) where \(m, n \in X\).

(i) Draw a table for the operation.

(ii) Using the table, find the truth set of : (I) \(3 \star n = 3\) ; (II) \(n \star n = 3\).

Explanation

(a) \(h = \frac{mt}{d(m + p)}\)

\(dh(m + p) = mt\)

\(dhm + dhp = mt \implies dhp = mt - dhm\)

\(dhp = m(t - dh) \implies m = \frac{dhp}{t - dh}\)

(b) 

In the diagram above, < WXM = 90° (angle in a semicircle)

< WMX = 180° - (90° + 48°)

= 42°

< XMZ = 180° - 42° (angles on a straight line)

= 138°

< WYZ = 180° - 138° (opp. angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)

= 42°

(c)  

\(\star\) 1 3 5 6
1 4 6 1 2
3 6 1 3 4
5 1 3 5 6
6 2 4 6 0

(ii) From the table, the truth set of :

(I) \(3 \star n = 3; n = {5}\)

(II) \(n \star n = 3; n = { }\)
