The formula v = u +at gives the final velocity of an object as it accelerates. If v= 35, a=4 and t=5 then find u

First off, you would start by substituting in the numbers that you already know. Therefore you get: 35 = u + (4 x 5) Remembering BODMAS you would then look at the equation and solve the brackets first to giv...

In a stack of CDs, there are 3 types: Rock, Pop and Jazz. There are 2 Rock CDs, x Pop CDs, and (2x+5) Jazz CDs. A CD is chosen at random. If the probability it is Rock is 1/20, work out the probability it is Jazz.

Number of Rock CDs = 2Total Number of CDs = 2 + x + (2x+5) = 3x + 7Probability of Rock CD = 2/(3x + 7) = 1/202/(3x + 7) = 1/2040 = 3x + 7x = 11Number of Jazz CDs = 2x + 5 = 27Total Number of CDs = 3x + 7 = 4...

Prove that the square of an odd number is always 1 more than a multiple of 4

An odd number can be expressed by the formula "2n + 1" where n stands for any integer. Therefore, the square of any odd number can be expressed as:(2n+1)^2 = (2n+1)(2n+1) = 4n^2 + 4n + 1 = 4(n^2 + ...
