Step-by-step solution
13 stepsHere are the solutions to questions 10, 11, and 12.
10. Determine the equation of the tangent to the circle with equation at the point .
Identify the center of the circle.
The equation of the circle is .
The center of the circle is .Calculate the gradient of the radius connecting the center to the point of tangency.
The point of tangency is .
The center is .
The gradient of the radius is:Determine the gradient of the tangent line.
The tangent line is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency. If is the gradient of the tangent, then .
Find the equation of the tangent line using the point-slope form.
Using the point and the gradient :
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
Rearrange the equation into the form :
The equation of the tangent is:
11. The volume of a cylinder is given by . Find the percentage change in if increases by 8% and decreases by 12%.
Express the new radius and height in terms of the original radius and height.
Let the original radius be and the original height be .
Original volume .Radius increases by 8%:
New radius .Height decreases by 12%:
New height .Calculate the new volume .
Substitute the expressions for and :
Since , we have:
Calculate the percentage change in volume.
Percentage change
The percentage change in volume is: (rounded to two decimal places).
12. A trader deals in two types of rice; rice A and rice B. Type A rice costs Kshs. 400 per bag and type B costs Kshs. 350 per bag. The trader mixes 30 bags of type A with 50 bags of type B. If he sells the mixture at a profit of 20%, calculate the selling price of one bag of the mixture.
Calculate the total cost of rice A.
Cost of 30 bags of type A = .
Calculate the total cost of rice B.
Cost of 50 bags of type B = .
Calculate the total cost of the mixture.
Total cost of mixture = Cost of type A + Cost of type B
Total cost of mixture = .Calculate the total number of bags in the mixture.
Total bags = 30 bags (Type A) + 50 bags (Type B) = 80 bags.
Calculate the cost price per bag of the mixture.
Cost price per bag = .
Calculate the selling price per bag with a 20% profit.
Selling price per bag = Cost price per bag
Selling price per bag =
Selling price per bag =
Selling price per bag = .
The selling price of one bag of the mixture is:
