Re: If \(8^c\cdot \sqrt8=\dfrac{8^a}{8^b}\) then \(a = ?\)

\(8^c\) . \(\sqrt{8}\) = \(8^{\left(c+\frac{1}{\left(2\right)}\right)}\)
Likewise, \(8^a\) / \(8^b\) = \(8^{a-b}\)
Thus, c+1/2=a-b
or a = b+c+1/2

Option E

Re: Arithmetic

Let the 3 consecutive integers be n, n+1 and n+2
Given, n+(n+1)+(n+2)=k
or 3n+3=k
or 3(n+1)=k
i.e k is thus a multiple of 3.

From the options given, only 201 is a multiple of 3.

Answer C.

Re: If \(9^{2x+5}=27^{3x-10},\) then \(x =\)

\(9^{2x+5}\) = \(3^{2\left(2x+5\right)}\)
= \(3^{4x+10}\)
Likewise,
\(27^{3x-10}\) = \(3^{3\left(3x-10\right)}\)
= \(3^{9x-30}\)

Equating the powers together;
4x+10 = 9x-30
i.e 5x=40
or x=8
Answer C

Re: \(x\) is between

Right angled triangle,
so \(x^2\) + 10 = \(\left(2\sqrt{\left(15\right)}\right)^2\)
Solving for x:
\(x^2\) =50
or x= \(\sqrt{50}\)
Thus, answer is Option D - between 7 & 8

Re: The integer k, l, and and m are consecutive even integers between 23 and 33. Which of the following...

The arithmetic mean of 3 consecutive even integers would be the middle even integer. That rules out both options B and C. For option A to be the answer, the numbers need to be 22,24 & 26, but 22 is outside the range provided. For option E to be the answer, the numbers need to be 30,32 & 34 b...


Re: If a rectangle has perimeter of 20 and a diagonal with length 9, what is the area of the rectangle?

Let l be the length and b the breadth Perimeter is 20 So, 2(l+b)=20 i.e l+b=10 Squaring both sides, \(^{l^2}\) + \(^{b^2}\) + 2lb = 100 Also, diagonal is 9, So, \(^{l^2}\) + \(^{b^2}\) = \(^{9^2}\) Or \(^{l^2}\) + \(^{b^2}\) = 81 Subtracting 2nd equation from 1st, we get 2lb = 19 or lb = 9.5 Area = ...

Re: In triangle \(ABC\) above, is \(AC\) greater than \(4?\)

\(\angle bac\) + \(\angle abc\) = \(\angle bcd\) Thus, \(\angle abc\) = 2y i.e 2 \(\angle bac\) Option 1 gives the length of side BC, which is 4 As \(\angle abc\) = 2 \(\angle bac\) , hence the side opposite \(\angle abc\) should be greater than side opposite \(\angle bac\) . A is thus sufficient. O...

Re: June 25, 1982, fell on a Friday. On which day of the week did June 25, 1987, fall? (Note: 1984 was a leap year.)

June 25, 1982 was a friday 365 days in a regular year, which is 7X52 + 1, so if a given day is friday, then that day + 365 days is the next calendar day June 25, 1983 was thus a Saturday 1984 was a leap year, so one extra day in Feb, making June 25, 1984 a Monday (instead of Sunday) No more leap yea...
