Part i· 3 steps

If the probability of obtaining a 1 is 15\frac{1}{5}, find the value of K.

  1. Calculate the total number of rolls in terms of K.

    Total rolls = 30+26+20+K+23+24=123+K30 + 26 + 20 + K + 23 + 24 = 123 + K.

  2. Use the given probability of obtaining a 1.

    The number of times 1 was obtained is 30.

    P(obtaining 1)=Number of times 1 appearedTotal number of rollsP(\text{obtaining 1}) = \frac{\text{Number of times 1 appeared}}{\text{Total number of rolls}} 30123+K=15\frac{30}{123 + K} = \frac{1}{5}
  3. Solve for K.

    30×5=1×(123+K)30 \times 5 = 1 \times (123 + K) 150=123+K150 = 123 + K K=150−123K = 150 - 123 K=27K = 27

    The value of K is 27\boxed{27}.

Part ii· 5 steps

The probability of obtaining an even number or a factor of 6.

Using K=27K=27, the total number of rolls is 123+27=150123 + 27 = 150.

  1. Identify the frequencies of even numbers.

    Even numbers are 2, 4, 6.
    Frequency of 2 = 26
    Frequency of 4 = K = 27
    Frequency of 6 = 24
    Number of even outcomes = 26+27+24=7726 + 27 + 24 = 77.

  2. Identify the frequencies of factors of 6.

    Factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6.
    Frequency of 1 = 30
    Frequency of 2 = 26
    Frequency of 3 = 20
    Frequency of 6 = 24
    Number of factor of 6 outcomes = 30+26+20+24=10030 + 26 + 20 + 24 = 100.

  3. Identify the frequencies of outcomes that are both even and a factor of 6.

    These are 2 and 6.
    Number of (even AND factor of 6) outcomes = 26+24=5026 + 24 = 50.

  4. Calculate the number of outcomes that are even OR a factor of 6.

    N(even or factor of 6)=N(even)+N(factor of 6)−N(even and factor of 6)N(\text{even or factor of 6}) = N(\text{even}) + N(\text{factor of 6}) - N(\text{even and factor of 6}) N(even or factor of 6)=77+100−50=127N(\text{even or factor of 6}) = 77 + 100 - 50 = 127
  5. Calculate the probability.

    P(even or factor of 6)=127150P(\text{even or factor of 6}) = \frac{127}{150}

    The probability is 127150\boxed{\frac{127}{150}}.

Part b· 24 steps

Solve: 5+x6+4x−13≥3x+25\frac{5+x}{6} + \frac{4x-1}{3} \ge \frac{3x+2}{5}

  1. Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators (6, 3, 5), which is 30.

    Multiply the entire inequality by 30.

    30(5+x6)+30(4x−13)≥30(3x+25)30 \left(\frac{5+x}{6}\right) + 30 \left(\frac{4x-1}{3}\right) \ge 30 \left(\frac{3x+2}{5}\right)
  2. Simplify each term.

    5(5+x)+10(4x−1)≥6(3x+2)5(5+x) + 10(4x-1) \ge 6(3x+2)
  3. Distribute and expand the terms.

    25+5x+40x−10≥18x+1225 + 5x + 40x - 10 \ge 18x + 12
  4. Combine like terms on each side.

    45x+15≥18x+1245x + 15 \ge 18x + 12
  5. Move terms with xx to one side and constants to the other.

    45x−18x≥12−1545x - 18x \ge 12 - 15 27x≥−327x \ge -3
  6. Divide by 27.

    x≥−327x \ge \frac{-3}{27} x≥−19x \ge -\frac{1}{9}

    The solution is x≥−19\boxed{x \ge -\frac{1}{9}}.

    In the diagram, TU is a tangent to the circle. ∠RVU=100∘\angle RVU = 100^\circ, and ∠ZUV=36∘\angle ZUV = 36^\circ. Find the value of ∠ZSTU\angle ZSTU.
    (Assuming the points Z, S, V, U are on the circle, and R is also on the circle, forming a cyclic pentagon ZSVRU. The angle ∠ZSTU\angle ZSTU is interpreted as ∠ZSU\angle ZSU.)

  7. Identify angles subtended by the same arc.

    Given ∠ZUV=36∘\angle ZUV = 36^\circ. This angle is subtended by arc ZV at point U on the circumference.
    Therefore, the angle subtended by the same arc ZV at point S on the circumference is also 36∘36^\circ.

    ∠ZSV=36∘\angle ZSV = 36^\circ
  8. Apply the Alternate Segment Theorem.

    The angle between the tangent TU and the chord UV is ∠TUV\angle TUV. This angle is equal to the angle subtended by the chord UV in the alternate segment, which is ∠USV\angle USV.
    So, ∠TUV=∠USV\angle TUV = \angle USV.

  9. Use the given angle ∠RVU=100∘\angle RVU = 100^\circ.

    Since Z, S, V, R, U are points on the circle, ∠RVU\angle RVU is an angle subtended by arc RU at V.
    Therefore, ∠RSU=∠RVU=100∘\angle RSU = \angle RVU = 100^\circ (angles subtended by the same arc RU).

  10. Find ∠ZSU\angle ZSU.

    We know ∠RSU=100∘\angle RSU = 100^\circ.
    We can write ∠RSU=∠RSZ+∠ZSU\angle RSU = \angle RSZ + \angle ZSU.
    However, we need ∠ZSU\angle ZSU. We have ∠ZSV=36∘\angle ZSV = 36^\circ.
    We also know ∠RSU=∠RSV+∠VSU\angle RSU = \angle RSV + \angle VSU.
    From the diagram, it appears that Z, S, V, R are consecutive points on the circle.
    If ∠RSU=100∘\angle RSU = 100^\circ and ∠ZSV=36∘\angle ZSV = 36^\circ.
    We need ∠ZSU\angle ZSU.
    From the diagram, ∠ZSU=∠RSU−∠RZ1U\angle ZSU = \angle RSU - \angle RZ_1U (This is not correct).
    Let's use the tangent-chord theorem for ∠TUZ\angle TUZ.
    ∠TUZ=∠USZ\angle TUZ = \angle USZ.
    We have ∠TUV=∠USV\angle TUV = \angle USV.
    We know ∠ZUV=36∘\angle ZUV = 36^\circ.
    We know ∠RVU=100∘\angle RVU = 100^\circ.
    From the diagram, ∠TUV=∠TUZ+∠ZUV\angle TUV = \angle TUZ + \angle ZUV. This is incorrect. ∠TUV\angle TUV is the angle between tangent TU and chord UV.
    ∠TUZ\angle TUZ is the angle between tangent TU and chord UZ.
    ∠ZUV\angle ZUV is an angle inside the circle.

    Let's re-evaluate the interpretation of ∠ZSTU\angle ZSTU. It is likely ∠ZSU\angle ZSU.
    We have ∠ZSV=36∘\angle ZSV = 36^\circ.
    We have ∠RSU=100∘\angle RSU = 100^\circ.
    From the diagram, it looks like Z, S, V, R are in order around the circle.
    Then ∠ZSU=∠ZSV+∠VSU\angle ZSU = \angle ZSV + \angle VSU.
    We need ∠VSU\angle VSU.
    By the alternate segment theorem, ∠VSU=∠TUV\angle VSU = \angle TUV.
    We know ∠ZUV=36∘\angle ZUV = 36^\circ.
    We know ∠RVU=100∘\angle RVU = 100^\circ.
    The angle ∠TUV\angle TUV is the angle between the tangent TU and the chord UV.
    The angle ∠TUZ\angle TUZ is the angle between the tangent TU and the chord UZ.
    The angle ∠TUV\angle TUV is not directly given.

    Let's assume the angle 100∘100^\circ is ∠ZRV\angle ZRV.
    If Z, R, V, U are points on the circle, then ∠ZRV+∠ZUV=180∘\angle ZRV + \angle ZUV = 180^\circ.
    So 100∘+36∘=136∘≠180∘100^\circ + 36^\circ = 136^\circ \ne 180^\circ. So ZRVU is not a cyclic quadrilateral.

    Let's assume the angle 100∘100^\circ is ∠VUR\angle VUR. This is the angle between the tangent TU and the chord UV.
    If ∠VUR=100∘\angle VUR = 100^\circ, then by the alternate segment theorem, ∠USV=100∘\angle USV = 100^\circ.
    We are given ∠ZUV=36∘\angle ZUV = 36^\circ.
    Since Z, S, V, U are on the circle, ∠ZSV=∠ZUV=36∘\angle ZSV = \angle ZUV = 36^\circ.
    We need to find ∠ZSU\angle ZSU.
    ∠ZSU=∠ZSV+∠VSU\angle ZSU = \angle ZSV + \angle VSU.

    ∠ZSU=36∘+100∘=136∘\angle ZSU = 36^\circ + 100^\circ = 136^\circ

    This interpretation seems plausible. Let's assume ∠ZRVU=100∘\angle ZRVU = 100^\circ means ∠VUR=100∘\angle VUR = 100^\circ.

  11. Identify the angle in the alternate segment.

    Given that TU is a tangent at U, and UV is a chord. The angle between the tangent and the chord, ∠TUV\angle TUV, is equal to the angle subtended by the chord in the alternate segment, ∠USV\angle USV.
    From the problem statement, ∠ZRVU=100∘\angle ZRVU = 100^\circ. Given the diagram, this is most likely referring to ∠TUV=100∘\angle TUV = 100^\circ (the angle between the tangent and the chord UV).
    So, ∠USV=100∘\angle USV = 100^\circ.

  12. Identify angles subtended by the same arc.

    Given ∠ZUV=36∘\angle ZUV = 36^\circ. This angle is subtended by arc ZV at point U on the circumference.
    The angle subtended by the same arc ZV at point S on the circumference is ∠ZSV\angle ZSV.
    Therefore, ∠ZSV=∠ZUV=36∘\angle ZSV = \angle ZUV = 36^\circ.

  13. Calculate ∠ZSU\angle ZSU.

    From the diagram, ∠ZSU=∠ZSV+∠VSU\angle ZSU = \angle ZSV + \angle VSU.

    ∠ZSU=36∘+100∘\angle ZSU = 36^\circ + 100^\circ ∠ZSU=136∘\angle ZSU = 136^\circ

    The value of ∠ZSTU\angle ZSTU (interpreted as ∠ZSU\angle ZSU) is 136∘\boxed{136^\circ}.

    Given that (7−2x)(7-2x), 9, (5x+17)(5x+17) are consecutive terms of a Geometric Progression with common ratio r>0r>0. Find the values of x.

  14. Use the property of a Geometric Progression (GP).

    In a GP, the ratio of consecutive terms is constant. So, 97−2x=5x+179\frac{9}{7-2x} = \frac{5x+17}{9}.

  15. Cross-multiply to form an equation.

    9×9=(7−2x)(5x+17)9 \times 9 = (7-2x)(5x+17) 81=35x+119−10x2−34x81 = 35x + 119 - 10x^2 - 34x
  16. Rearrange the equation into a standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

    81=−10x2+x+11981 = -10x^2 + x + 119 10x2−x+81−119=010x^2 - x + 81 - 119 = 0 10x2−x−38=010x^2 - x - 38 = 0
  17. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.

    Here, a=10a=10, b=−1b=-1, c=−38c=-38.

    x=−(−1)±(−1)2−4(10)(−38)2(10)x = \frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4(10)(-38)}}{2(10)} x=1±1−(−1520)20x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 - (-1520)}}{20} x=1±1+152020x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 1520}}{20} x=1±152120x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1521}}{20} x=1±3920x = \frac{1 \pm 39}{20}
  18. Find the two possible values for x.

    x1=1+3920=4020=2x_1 = \frac{1 + 39}{20} = \frac{40}{20} = 2 x2=1−3920=−3820=−1910=−1.9x_2 = \frac{1 - 39}{20} = \frac{-38}{20} = -\frac{19}{10} = -1.9
  19. Check the common ratio rr for each value of x, ensuring r>0r>0.

    For x=2x=2:
    The terms are (7−2(2))(7-2(2)), 9, (5(2)+17)(5(2)+17).
    Terms are (7−4)(7-4), 9, (10+17)(10+17).
    Terms are 3,9,273, 9, 27.
    The common ratio r=93=3r = \frac{9}{3} = 3. Since r=3>0r=3 > 0, x=2x=2 is a valid solution.
    For x=−1.9x=-1.9:
    The terms are (7−2(−1.9))(7-2(-1.9)), 9, (5(−1.9)+17)(5(-1.9)+17).
    Terms are (7+3.8)(7+3.8), 9, (−9.5+17)(-9.5+17).
    Terms are 10.8,9,7.510.8, 9, 7.5.
    The common ratio r=910.8=90108=56r = \frac{9}{10.8} = \frac{90}{108} = \frac{5}{6}. Since r=56>0r=\frac{5}{6} > 0, x=−1.9x=-1.9 is also a valid solution.
    The problem asks for "the values of x", implying both are valid.

    The values of x are 2 and −1.9\boxed{2 \text{ and } -1.9}.
