Here's the solution to your question.

10. (a) Given that m∗n=2m−nm * n = 2m - n, where mm and nn are real numbers, find the value of

Part i· 2 steps

5∗(4∗5)5 * (4 * 5)

  1. Calculate the expression inside the parenthesis, 4∗54 * 5.

    Using the definition m∗n=2m−nm * n = 2m - n, with m=4m=4 and n=5n=5:

    4∗5=2(4)−5=8−5=34 * 5 = 2(4) - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3
  2. Substitute the result back into the original expression and calculate 5∗35 * 3.

    Using the definition m∗n=2m−nm * n = 2m - n, with m=5m=5 and n=3n=3:

    5∗3=2(5)−3=10−3=75 * 3 = 2(5) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

    The value is 7\boxed{\text{7}}.

Part ii

4\text{4}

nn if n∗(3∗n)=6n * (3 * n) = 6.

  1. Calculate the expression inside the parenthesis, 3∗n3 * n.

    Using the definition m∗n=2m−nm * n = 2m - n, with m=3m=3 and the second operand as nn:

    3∗n=2(3)−n=6−n3 * n = 2(3) - n = 6 - n
  2. Substitute this result back into the given equation

    n∗(6−n)=6n * (6 - n) = 6.
    Now, apply the definition m∗n=2m−nm * n = 2m - n again, where the first operand is nn and the second operand is (6−n)(6 - n):

    2(n)−(6−n)=62(n) - (6 - n) = 6
  3. Solve the equation for nn.

    2n−6+n=62n - 6 + n = 6 3n−6=63n - 6 = 6 3n=6+63n = 6 + 6 3n=123n = 12 n=123n = \frac{12}{3} n=4n = 4

    The value of nn is 4\boxed{\text{4}}.

    10. (b) In the diagram, ABDABD is a straight line. OO is the centre of the circle ABCABC, ∠OBC=20∘\angle OBC = 20^\circ, ∠ADC=32∘\angle ADC = 32^\circ and ∣CB∣=∣BD∣|CB| = |BD|, find ∠ACB\angle ACB.

  4. Use the properties of △OBC\triangle OBC.

    Since OO is the center of the circle, OB=OCOB = OC (radii). Therefore, △OBC\triangle OBC is an isosceles triangle.
    The base angles are equal: ∠OCB=∠OBC=20∘\angle OCB = \angle OBC = 20^\circ.
    The angle at the center ∠BOC=180∘−(∠OBC+∠OCB)=180∘−(20∘+20∘)=180∘−40∘=140∘\angle BOC = 180^\circ - (\angle OBC + \angle OCB) = 180^\circ - (20^\circ + 20^\circ) = 180^\circ - 40^\circ = 140^\circ.

  5. Relate the central angle to the inscribed angle.

    The angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circle. For arc BCBC, ∠BAC\angle BAC is the inscribed angle and ∠BOC\angle BOC is the central angle.

    ∠BAC=12∠BOC=12(140∘)=70∘\angle BAC = \frac{1}{2} \angle BOC = \frac{1}{2} (140^\circ) = 70^\circ
  6. Use the properties of △CBD\triangle CBD.

    Given that ∣CB∣=∣BD∣|CB| = |BD|, △CBD\triangle CBD is an isosceles triangle.
    The base angles are equal: ∠BCD=∠BDC\angle BCD = \angle BDC.
    We are given ∠ADC=32∘\angle ADC = 32^\circ, which is the same as ∠BDC\angle BDC.
    So, ∠BCD=32∘\angle BCD = 32^\circ.
    The angle ∠CBD=180∘−(∠BCD+∠BDC)=180∘−(32∘+32∘)=180∘−64∘=116∘\angle CBD = 180^\circ - (\angle BCD + \angle BDC) = 180^\circ - (32^\circ + 32^\circ) = 180^\circ - 64^\circ = 116^\circ.

  7. Use the straight line ABDABD.

    Since ABDABD is a straight line, ∠ABC\angle ABC and ∠CBD\angle CBD are supplementary angles.

    ∠ABC+∠CBD=180∘\angle ABC + \angle CBD = 180^\circ ∠ABC+116∘=180∘\angle ABC + 116^\circ = 180^\circ ∠ABC=180∘−116∘=64∘\angle ABC = 180^\circ - 116^\circ = 64^\circ
  8. Find ∠ACB\angle ACB using the sum of angles in △ABC\triangle ABC.

    In △ABC\triangle ABC, the sum of angles is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠ACB=180∘−(∠BAC+∠ABC)\angle ACB = 180^\circ - (\angle BAC + \angle ABC) ∠ACB=180∘−(70∘+64∘)\angle ACB = 180^\circ - (70^\circ + 64^\circ) ∠ACB=180∘−134∘\angle ACB = 180^\circ - 134^\circ ∠ACB=46∘\angle ACB = 46^\circ

    The value of ∠ACB\angle ACB is 46∘\boxed{\text{46}^\circ}.
