Question 7

If x4 + (1/x4) = 34, then what is the value of x3 – (1/x3)?

Accepted Answer

Add 2: x^2 + 1/x^2 = √36 = 6. Subtract 2: x - 1/x = √4 = 2. Then x^3 - 1/x^3 = (2)^3 + 3(2) = 8 + 6 = 14.

Accepted Answer

The second number is the square root of the first number. Since √0.04 = 0.2, similarly, the square root of 0.09 is 0.3.

Question 10

Plant tissues are of how many types? ?

Accepted Answer

Plant tissues are broadly classified into three main tissue systems: epidermal, ground, and vascular tissues, which perform distinct functions like protection, support, and transport.

Question 11

What is the value of Sin 30o + 2 Cos 30o ?

Accepted Answer

Substitute the standard trigonometric values: Sin 30° = 1/2 and Cos 30° = √3/2. The expression becomes 1/2 + 2(√3/2) = 1/2 + √3 = (1 + 2√3)/2.

Question 12

Question 16

If x2 + (1/x2) = 31/9 and x > 0, then what is the value of x3 + (1/x3)?

Accepted Answer

Add 2 to both sides to get (x + 1/x)^2 = 49/9, so x + 1/x = 7/3. Then use x^3 + 1/x^3 = (7/3)^3 - 3(7/3) = 154/27.
