Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Step 1: Sort the admission numbers as prime or composite.
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A composite number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not prime.

  • For 201: 201=3×67201 = 3 \times 67. It has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is composite.
  • For 211: 211 is only divisible by 1 and 211. So, it is prime.
  • For 55: 55=5×1155 = 5 \times 11. It has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is composite.
  • For 112: 112=2×56112 = 2 \times 56. It has factors other than 1 and itself, so it is composite.
  • For 73: 73 is only divisible by 1 and 73. So, it is prime.

Prime numbers: 211, 73
Composite numbers: 201, 55, 112

Step 2: Determine the number Onyango wrote down.

Part a

The odd numbers from 27 to 32 are 27, 29, and 31.

The product of these numbers is:

27×29×3127 \times 29 \times 31 783×31783 \times 31 2427324273

The number Onyango wrote down is 24273\boxed{24273}.

Part b· 3 steps

Determine the difference between the number of even digits and odd digits in 24273.

The digits in 24273 are 2, 4, 2, 7, 3.
Even digits: 2, 4, 2 (There are 3 even digits).
Odd digits: 7, 3 (There are 2 odd digits).
Difference = (Number of even digits) - (Number of odd digits)

3−2=13 - 2 = 1

The difference is 1\boxed{1}.

  1. Determine and write down the irrational numbers.

    An irrational number cannot be expressed as a simple fraction pq\frac{p}{q} and has a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal expansion. Square roots of non-perfect squares are irrational.

    • 79\sqrt{79}: Since 79 is not a perfect square (82=648^2=64, 92=819^2=81), 79\sqrt{79} is an irrational number.
    • 2.197\sqrt{2.197}: This can be written as 21971000\sqrt{\frac{2197}{1000}}. Since 2197 is not a perfect square (it ends in 7), 2197\sqrt{2197} is irrational. Therefore, 2.197\sqrt{2.197} is an irrational number.
    • 30.42\sqrt{30.42}: This can be written as 3042100\sqrt{\frac{3042}{100}}. Since 3042 is not a perfect square (it ends in 2), 3042\sqrt{3042} is irrational. Therefore, 30.42\sqrt{30.42} is an irrational number.

    The irrational numbers from the list are 79,2.197,30.42\boxed{\sqrt{79}, \sqrt{2.197}, \sqrt{30.42}}.

  2. Factorise 81−(q−7)281 - (q-7)^2.

    This expression is in the form of a difference of squares, a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b)a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b).
    Here, a2=81  ⟹  a=9a^2 = 81 \implies a = 9.
    And b2=(q−7)2  ⟹  b=(q−7)b^2 = (q-7)^2 \implies b = (q-7).

    Substitute these into the difference of squares formula:

    81−(q−7)2=[9−(q−7)][9+(q−7)]81 - (q-7)^2 = [9 - (q-7)][9 + (q-7)] =(9−q+7)(9+q−7)= (9 - q + 7)(9 + q - 7) =(16−q)(2+q)= (16 - q)(2 + q)

    The factored form is (16−q)(2+q)\boxed{(16 - q)(2 + q)}.

  3. Express 729 and 2187 in index form, then evaluate 7292187\frac{729}{2187}.

    First, find the prime factorization of 729:

    729÷3=243729 \div 3 = 243 243÷3=81243 \div 3 = 81 81÷3=2781 \div 3 = 27 27÷3=927 \div 3 = 9 9÷3=39 \div 3 = 3 3÷3=13 \div 3 = 1

    So, 729=3×3×3×3×3×3=36729 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 3^6.

    Next, find the prime factorization of 2187:

    2187÷3=7292187 \div 3 = 729

    Since 729=36729 = 3^6, we have:

    2187=3×36=372187 = 3 \times 3^6 = 3^7

    Now, evaluate 7292187\frac{729}{2187}:

    7292187=3637\frac{729}{2187} = \frac{3^6}{3^7}

    Using the exponent rule aman=am−n\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}:

    3637=36−7=3−1=13\frac{3^6}{3^7} = 3^{6-7} = 3^{-1} = \frac{1}{3}

    The index forms are 729=36729 = \boxed{3^6} and 2187=372187 = \boxed{3^7}.
    The evaluation is 7292187=13\frac{729}{2187} = \boxed{\frac{1}{3}}.
