  1. Find the smallest number by which the following numbers should be divided to obtain a perfect cube.

    1. $13718$
    2. $28672$

    Solution:

    1. The smallest number to divide $13718$ to obtain a perfect cube is $2$.
    2. The smallest number to divide $28672$ to obtain a perfect cube is $1$ (since $28672$ is already a perfect cube).
  2. Find the volume of a cubical box whose surface area is $486 cm^2$.

    Solution:

    The surface area of a cube is given by $6a^2$, where $a$ is the length of one side. Hence, $a = \sqrt{\frac{Surface Area}{6}} = \sqrt{\frac{486}{6}} = 9 cm$. The volume of a cube is $a^3 = 9^3 = 729 cm^3$.

  3. Find the cube of $-5 \frac{1}{7}$.

    Solution:

    $-5 \frac{1}{7} = -\frac{36}{7}$, so its cube is $\left(-\frac{36}{7}\right)^3 = -\frac{46656}{343}$.

  4. Divide the number $8748$ by the smallest number so that the quotient is a perfect cube. Also find the cube root of the quotient.

    Solution:

    The smallest number to divide $8748$ to obtain a perfect cube is $3$. So, the quotient is $\frac{8748}{3} = 2916$, which is a perfect cube. The cube root of $2916$ is $14$.

  5. Three numbers are in the ratio $3:4:5$. If their product is $480$, find the numbers.

    Solution:

    If the three numbers are in the ratio $3:4:5$, let's denote the numbers as $3x, 4x,$ and $5x$. Therefore, $3x \cdot 4x \cdot 5x = 480$ which gives $x^3 = \frac{480}{60} = 8$. So, $x = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2$. Thus, the three numbers are $3x = 6, 4x = 8,$ and $5x = 10$.

  1. Given that $ \sqrt{1521} = 39 $, find the value of $ \sqrt{0.1521} + \sqrt{15.21} $.

    Solution:

    We know that $ \sqrt{1521} = 39 $, so if we divide 1521 by 10000 and 100 respectively we can find the square root of $ 0.1521 $ and $ 15.21 $.

    Therefore, $ \sqrt{0.1521} = 0.39 $ and $ \sqrt{15.21} = 3.9 $.

    Adding these together, $ \sqrt{0.1521} + \sqrt{15.21} = 0.39 + 3.9 = 4.29 $.

  2. Find the sum of the series $ 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + \cdots $ up to n terms.

    Solution:

    This is the sum of the first $ n $ odd numbers, and it is well known that the sum of the first $ n $ odd numbers is $ n^2 $.

    Therefore, $ 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + \cdots $ up to $ n $ terms is equal to $ n^2 $.

Math Problems

  1. Amit walks 16m south from his friend's house. While returning, he walks diagonally from his friend's house to reach back to his own house. What distance did he walk while returning?

    Solution:

    As Amit walks in a straight line to his friend's house and then diagonally back, it forms a right-angled triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse (the diagonal path), where the distance walked to the friend's house is one of the sides, and is equal to 16m (the other side is assumed to be of the same length, considering he reached the same point).

    Using Pythagorean theorem \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), where \(c\) is the hypotenuse:

    \(c = \sqrt{16^2 + 16^2} = \sqrt{512} = 16\sqrt{2} \approx 22.63m\)

  2. Find the square root of the following:

    1. \( \sqrt{16169/441} \)
    2. \( \sqrt{5.774409} \)
    3. \( \sqrt{841/1521} \)

    Solution:

    1. \( \sqrt{16169/441} = \sqrt{36.66} \approx 6.05 \)
    2. \( \sqrt{5.774409} \approx 2.4 \)
    3. \( \sqrt{841/1521} = \sqrt{0.55} \approx 0.74 \)
  3. \( \sqrt{208 + \sqrt{2304}} \)

    Solution:

    \( \sqrt{208 + \sqrt{2304}} = \sqrt{208 + 48} = \sqrt{256} = 16 \)

  4. \( \sqrt{0.0016} = ? \)

    Solution:

    \( \sqrt{0.0016} = 0.04 \)

  5. Given that \( \sqrt{1521} = 39 \), find the value of \( \sqrt{0.1521} + \sqrt{15.21} \).

    Solution:

    \( \sqrt{0.1521} + \sqrt{15.21} = 0.39 + 3.9 = 4.29 \)

  6. \( 12.1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + \cdots \) up to n terms is equal to ?

    Solution:

    This is an arithmetic series where the first term \( a = 3 \), the common difference \( d = 2 \), and the number of terms \( n \) is given. The sum of an arithmetic series can be calculated by the formula \( S = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d] \). However, this series has an additional term (12.1) that is not part of the arithmetic progression. So, the sum up to \( n \) terms will be:

    \( 12.1 + \frac{n}{2}[2*3 + (n-1)*2] = 12.1 + n[3 + n - 1] = 12.1 + 3n + n^2 - n = 12.1 + 2n + n^2 \).

Square and square roots-1

1. Show that the following numbers are perfect squares:

(a) 2304

Solution:

Let's find the square root of 2304:

Starting from the right, we group the numbers into pairs of two. So 2304 becomes (23, 04).

We find the largest square less than or equal to the first group, 23. This square is $4^2 = 16$. We subtract this from 23 to get a remainder of 7.

We then bring down the next group of numbers, 04, to get 704. The next digit in the square root will be 8, because $48 \times 8 = 384$ which is less than 704. Subtracting this from 704 gives a remainder of 320.

Since we don't have any more groups of numbers to bring down, we can say that $\sqrt{2304} = 48$, which means that 2304 is indeed a perfect square.

(b) 3025

Solution:

Following the same process as above, we find that the square root of 3025 is 55, hence it's a perfect square.

2. Find the smallest number by which 1008 should be multiplied to make it a perfect square:

Solution:

We factorize 1008 as $2^4 \times 3^2 \times 7$. We see that 7 is missing a pair to become a perfect square. Therefore, the smallest number 1008 should be multiplied by is 7.

3. Express the following as the sum of two consecutive integers:

(a) $21^2$

Solution:

$21^2 = 441 = 220 + 221$, so $21^2$ can be expressed as the sum of two consecutive integers 220 and 221.

(b) $19^2$

Solution:

$19^2 = 361 = 180 + 181$, so $19^2$ can be expressed as the sum of two consecutive integers 180 and 181.

4. Write a Pythagorean triplet whose one number is 80:

Solution:

A Pythagorean triplet follows the pattern $(m^2 - n^2, 2mn, m^2 + n^2)$ where $m > n > 0$. If we choose $m = 9$ and $n = 1$, we get the triplet (80, 18, 82).

5. Express 324 as the sum of 18 odd numbers:

Solution:

The average of these 18 odd numbers must be an integer. Hence $324 / 18 = 18$ is the middle odd number. So the 18 odd numbers are the 9 odd numbers before 18, 18 itself, and the 8 odd numbers after 18: (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35).

6. Without calculating, find the number of digits in the square root of 368645:

Solution:

We can express 368645 as $3.68645 \times 10^5$. The square root of $10^5$ is $10^{5/2} = 10^2.5$. Since this is between $10^2$ and $10^3$, the square root of 368645 must have 3 integer digits.

2. Find x so that $(3/8)^{14} \times (8/3)^{-9} = (3/8)^{2x-1}$.

Solution:

$$ 14 - 9 = 2x - 1 \Rightarrow x = \frac{14 - 9 + 1}{2} = 3 $$

3. Find the value of a/b if $(a/b)^{-6}=(2/7)^{-6} \times (14/9)^{-6}$.

Solution:

$$ (a/b)^{-6} = (2/7)^{-6} \times (14/9)^{-6} \Rightarrow \frac{a}{b} = \frac{2 \times 14}{7 \times 9} = \frac{4}{3} $$

4. Simplify $(3^{-5} \times 10^{-5} \times 125) / (5^{-7} \times 6^{-5})$.

1. Simplify $(512)^{-2/3}$:

Solution:

2. Find the value of x:

(a) Assuming & represents multiplication in $\sqrt{5*5x+2}=2$

Solution:

$$ \sqrt{5*5x+2}=2 \Rightarrow 25x + 2 = 4 \Rightarrow 25x = 2 \Rightarrow x = \frac{2}{25} $$

(b) $5^{x-3}×3^{2x-8}=225$

Solution:

$$ 5^{x-3}×3^{2x-8}=225 \Rightarrow 5^{x-3} = \frac{225}{3^{2x-8}} \Rightarrow 5^{x-3} = \frac{225}{9^{x-4}} \Rightarrow 5^{x-3} = 5^2 \Rightarrow x = 5 $$

3. If $(2^{3x-1}+10)÷7=6$, then find the value of x:

Solution:

$$ (2^{3x-1}+10)÷7=6 \Rightarrow 2^{3x-1} + 10 = 42 \Rightarrow 2^{3x-1} = 32 \Rightarrow 3x - 1 = 5 \Rightarrow x = 2 $$

4. Write in standard form:

(a) $0.0000000777$

Solution:

Solution:

$$ \frac{(-\frac{2}{3})^{-3}-(-\frac{3}{4})^{-3}}{(\frac{3}{2})^2} = \frac{-\frac{27}{8} + \frac{64}{27}}{2.25} = -\frac{216}{216} = -1 $$

Rational number 3

Rachna purchased $2 \frac{1}{2}$ kg onions at $10$ per kg and $1 \frac{3}{8}$ kg potatoes at $116 \frac{8}{11}$ per kg. She gave a five hundred rupee note to the shopkeeper. Find the amount she got back from the shopkeeper.

First, let's calculate the cost of onions and potatoes separately:

Cost of onions:

$$ 2 \frac{1}{2} \times 10 = \frac{5}{2} \times 10 = 25 $$

Cost of potatoes:

$$ 1 \frac{3}{8} \times 116 \frac{8}{11} = \frac{11}{8} \times \frac{1290}{11} = 161.25 $$

Therefore, the total cost of onions and potatoes is:

$$ 25 + 161.25 = 186.25 $$

Since Rachna gave the shopkeeper a five hundred rupee note, the amount she got back is:

Amount Rachna got back:

$$ 500 - 186.25 = 313.75 $$

Rational numbers part 2

1. Write in standard form:

(a) $12/(-240)$:

$$ \frac{12}{-240} = -\frac{12}{240} = -\frac{1}{20} $$

(b) $(-19)/362$:

$$ \frac{-19}{362} = -\frac{19}{362} $$

2. Using appropriate property find $-2/3×3/5+5/2×4/7+3/5×1/6$:

$$ -\frac{2}{3}×\frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}×\frac{4}{7}+\frac{3}{5}×\frac{1}{6} = -\frac{2}{5} + \frac{10}{7} + \frac{1}{10} = -\frac{14}{70} + \frac{100}{70} + \frac{7}{70} = \frac{93}{70} = \frac{186}{140} $$

3. What should be subtracted from the product of $3/7$ and $2/5$ to get $4/35$?

$$ \frac{3}{7} × \frac{2}{5} - \frac{4}{35} = \frac{6}{35} - \frac{4}{35} = \frac{2}{35} $$

4. One sixth of the students of a class joined the sports club. Three fifth of these students opted to play table tennis. If 6 students play table tennis, how many students are there in the class?

$$ \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1}{10} $$ So 10 students are in the class.

5. Simplify $(10/21×(-7)/5)-(2/3×9/(-16))+((-4)/15×(-6)/16)$:

$$ \frac{10}{21}×\frac{-7}{5}-\frac{2}{3}×\frac{9}{-16}+\frac{-4}{15}×\frac{-6}{16} = -\frac{14}{21} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{10} = -\frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{10} = -\frac{40}{120} + \frac{45}{120} + \frac{12}{120} = \frac{17}{120} $$

6. Is $4/11$ the multiplicative inverse of $-3\ 3/4$? Give reasons.

$$ \frac{4}{11} × -\frac{15}{4} = -\frac{60}{44} = -\frac{15}{11} $$ Since this result is not equal to 1, $4/11$ is not the multiplicative inverse of $-3\ 3/4$.

Rational numbers part I

1. Subtract $(-11)/5$ from additive inverse of sum of $-5/8$ and $5/6$.

Firstly, calculate the sum of $-5/8$ and $5/6$:

$$ -\frac{5}{8} + \frac{5}{6} = -\frac{15}{24} + \frac{20}{24} = \frac{5}{24} $$

The additive inverse of this sum is $-\frac{5}{24}$. Now, subtract $(-11)/5$ from $-\frac{5}{24}$:

$$ -\frac{5}{24} - (-\frac{11}{5}) = -\frac{5}{24} + \frac{11}{5} = -\frac{25}{120} + \frac{264}{120} = \frac{239}{120} = \frac{119}{60} $$

2. Subtract the sum of $(-4)/7$ and $5/14$ from the sum of $9/14$ and $23/28$.

Firstly, calculate the sum of $(-4)/7$ and $5/14$:

$$ -\frac{4}{7} + \frac{5}{14} = -\frac{8}{14} + \frac{5}{14} = -\frac{3}{14} $$

Next, calculate the sum of $9/14$ and $23/28$:

$$ \frac{9}{14} + \frac{23}{28} = \frac{18}{28} + \frac{23}{28} = \frac{41}{28} $$

Now, subtract $-\frac{3}{14}$ from $\frac{41}{28}$:

$$ \frac{41}{28} - (-\frac{3}{14}) = \frac{41}{28} + \frac{6}{28} = \frac{47}{28} = \frac{47}{2} $$

3. What number should be added to $-7/8$ so as to get $5/9$?

To find the number that should be added to $-7/8$ to get $5/9$, simply subtract $-7/8$ from $5/9$:

$$ \frac{5}{9} - \left(-\frac{7}{8}\right) = \frac{5}{9} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{40}{72} + \frac{63}{72} = \frac{103}{72} $$

4. Verify the distributive law of multiplication over subtraction for the rational numbers x=$(-3)/4$, y=$5/7$, z=$(-4)/5$.

The distributive law of multiplication over subtraction states that for any numbers x, y, and z, we have $x \cdot (y - z) = x \cdot y - x \cdot z$.

Therefore, substituting the given values, we get:

$$ -\frac{3}{4} \cdot \left(\frac{5}{7} - -\frac{4}{5}\right) = -\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{5}{7} - -\frac{3}{4} \cdot -\frac{4}{5} $$

Now, compute each side:

$$ -\frac{3}{4} \cdot \left(\frac{5}{7} + \frac{4}{5}\right) = -\frac{3}{4} \cdot \left(\frac{25}{35} + \frac{28}{35}\right) = -\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{53}{35} = -\frac{159}{140} $$ $$ -\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{5}{7} - -\frac{3}{4} \cdot -\frac{4}{5} = -\frac{15}{28} - \frac{12}{20} = -\frac{159}{140} $$

Since the left-hand side equals the right-hand side, this verifies the distributive law of multiplication over subtraction for the given rational numbers.

5. Write 6 rational numbers between $3/(-7)$ and $2/5$.

We can find 6 rational numbers between $3/(-7)$ and $2/5$ as: $-6/35$, $-4/35$, $-2/35$, $1/35$, $3/35$, $5/35$.

    Solution: Amit walked 16 m south from his friend's house. Let's assume his house is east of his friend's house. The distance he walked while returning is the diagonal of a square with sides of 16 m (because the distance he initially walked south is the same as the distance east). Using the Pythagorean theorem, the diagonal is \(\sqrt{16^2 + 16^2} = \sqrt{2} \times 16 \approx 22.63\) m.

  2. Question: Find the square root of the following.

    (a) \(16 \frac{169}{441}\)

    (b) \(5.774409\)

    (c) \(\frac{841}{1521}\)

    Solution:

    (a) \(16 \frac{169}{441} = 16 + \frac{169}{441} = 16 + \frac{13}{21} = \frac{357}{21}\). The square root of \(\frac{357}{21}\) is \(\sqrt{\frac{357}{21}} = \frac{\sqrt{357}}{\sqrt{21}} \approx 4.49\).

    (b) The square root of \(5.774409\) is \(\sqrt{5.774409} \approx 2.4026\).

    (c) \(\frac{841}{1521}\) can be simplified as \(\frac{29}{39}\). The square root of \(\frac{29}{39}\) is \(\sqrt{\frac{29}{39}} = \frac{\sqrt{29}}{\sqrt{39}} \approx 0.76\).

  1. Question: Express 324 as the sum of 18 odd numbers.

    Solution: Let's express 324 as the sum of 18 odd numbers. Let the first odd number be \(a\), and since odd numbers have a common difference of 2, the rest of the numbers will be \(a + 2\), \(a + 4\), ..., \(a + 34\). Sum of these 18 odd numbers is 324:

    \[ 18a + 2(1 + 2 + 3 + \ldots + 17) = 324 \] \[ 18a + 2 \times \frac{17 \times 18}{2} = 324 \] \[ 18a + 306 = 324 \] \[ 18a = 18 \] \[ a = 1 \] So, the 18 odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, ..., 35.
  2. Question: Without calculating, find the number of digits in the square root of 368645.

    Solution: We can write 368645 as \(3.68645 \times 10^5\). Now, the square root of 368645 will be the square root of this expression:

    \[ \sqrt{3.68645 \times 10^5} = \sqrt{3.68645} \times \sqrt{10^5} = \sqrt{3.68645} \times 10^{\frac{5}{2}} = \sqrt{3.68645} \times 10^{2.5} \] As \(10^{2.5}\) is between \(10^2\) and \(10^3\), the square root will have a value between 100 and 1000, which means it will have 3 digits before the decimal point.

    Solution: \( -\left(\frac{-5}{8} + \frac{5}{6}\right) - \frac{-11}{5} = -\left(\frac{-15 + 20}{24}\right) + \frac{11}{5} = -\left(\frac{5}{24}\right) + \frac{11}{5} = -\frac{5}{24} + \frac{132}{24} = \frac{127}{24} \).

  2. Question: Subtract the sum of \( \frac{-4}{7} \) and \( \frac{5}{14} \) from the sum of \( \frac{9}{14} \) and \( \frac{23}{28} \).

    Solution: \( \left(\frac{9}{14} + \frac{23}{28}\right) - \left(\frac{-4}{7} + \frac{5}{14}\right) = \frac{18 + 46}{28} - \left(\frac{-8 + 5}{14}\right) = \frac{64}{28} - \left(\frac{-3}{14}\right) = \frac{64}{28} + \frac{3}{14} = \frac{71}{14} \).

  3. Question: What number should be added to \( \frac{-7}{8} \) so as to get \( \frac{5}{9} \)?

    Solution: Let the number be \( x \). Therefore, \( x + \frac{-7}{8} = \frac{5}{9} \). Solving for \( x \), \( x = \frac{5}{9} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{40 + 63}{72} = \frac{103}{72} \).

  4. Question: Verify the distributive law of multiplication over subtraction for the rational numbers \( x = \frac{-3}{4} \), \( y = \frac{5}{7} \), \( z = \frac{-4}{5} \).

    Solution: \( x(y - z) = x \cdot y - x \cdot z = \frac{-3}{4} \cdot \frac{5}{7} - \frac{-3}{4} \cdot \frac{-4}{5} = \frac{-15}{28} + \frac{12}{20} = \frac{-15}{28} + \frac{42}{28} = \frac{27}{28} \).

  7. Question: Using appropriate property find \( \frac{-2}{3} \times \frac{3}{5} + \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{7} + \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{6} \).

    Solution: \( \frac{-2}{3} \times \frac{3}{5} + \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{7} + \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{-2}{5} + \frac{10}{7} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{-14}{35} + \frac{50}{35} + \frac{7}{35} = \frac{43}{35} \).

  8. Question: What should be subtracted from the product of \( \frac{3}{7} \) and \( \frac{2}{5} \) to get \( \frac{4}{35} \)?

    Solution: Let the number be \( x \). Therefore, \( \frac{3}{7} \times \frac{2}{5} - x = \frac{4}{35} \). Solving for \( x \), \( x = \frac{3}{7} \times \frac{2}{5} - \frac{4}{35} = \frac{6}{35} - \frac{4}{35} = \frac{2}{35} \).

  9. Question: One sixth of the students of a class joined the sports club. Three fifth of these students opted to play table tennis. If 6 students play table tennis, how many students are there in the class?

    Solution: Let the total number of students be \( x \). Therefore, \( \frac{1}{6}x \times \frac{3}{5} = 6 \). Solving for \( x \), \( x = \frac{6 \times 6 \times 5}{3} = 60 \). So, there are 60 students in the class.

  10. Question: Simplify \( \left(\frac{10}{21} \times \frac{-7}{5}\right) - \left(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{-16}\right) + \left(\frac{-4}{15} \times \frac{-6}{16}\right) \).

    Solution: \( \left(\frac{10}{21} \times \frac{-7}{5}\right) - \left(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{-16}\right) + \left(\frac{-4}{15} \times \frac{-6}{16}\right) = \frac{-70}{105} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{-56}{105} + \frac{42}{105} + \frac{21}{105} = \frac{7}{105} \).

  11. Question: Is \( \frac{4}{11} \) the multiplication inverse of \( -3 \frac{3}{4} \)? Give reasons.

    Solution: \( -3 \frac{3}{4} \) is equal to \( -\frac{15}{4} \) and its multiplicative inverse is \( -\frac{4}{15} \). Since \( -\frac{4}{15} \) is not equal to \( \frac{4}{11} \), \( \frac{4}{11} \) is not the multiplicative inverse of \( -3 \frac{3}{4} \).

Self Assessment Test 1 - Solutions

Self Assessment Test 3 - Solutions

Based on Chapter 3

  1. Question: What are the signs of a point in 2nd quadrant?

    Solution: In the 2nd quadrant, the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

  2. Question: What is the distance of the point \(A(-2,-3)\) from y-axis?

    Solution: The distance of a point \((x, y)\) from the y-axis is equal to the absolute value of its x-coordinate. So, the distance of point \(A(-2, -3)\) from y-axis is \(|-2| = 2\) units.

  3. Question: Plot the points \(P(2,-1)\), \(Q(0,5)\), \(C(3,4)\) and \(D(-3,-5)\) in the cartesian plane.

    Solution: To plot these points on the cartesian plane, plot each point by counting spaces: Right and up for positive coordinates, left and down for negative coordinates. For example, to plot P(2, -1), move 2 spaces to the right and 1 space down from the origin.

  4. Question: A point \(R\) is at a distance of 3 units from the x-axis and 7 units from y-axis and is in 3rd quadrant. Write the coordinates of \(R\).

    Solution: In the 3rd quadrant, both x and y coordinates are negative. Therefore, the coordinates of point \(R\) are \((-7, -3)\).

  5. Question: Which of the following points lie in quadrant IV? \(L(3,-5)\), \(M(5,-3)\), \(N(-2,-1)\), \(P(1,2)\), \(Q(2,-7)\) and \(R(-1,-1)\)

    Solution: In the 4th quadrant, x is positive and y is negative. Therefore, points \(L(3, -5)\), \(M(5, -3)\), and \(Q(2, -7)\) lie in the 4th quadrant.

  6. Question: Plot the points \(A(2,0)\), \(B(0,2)\), \(C(-2,0)\) and \(D(0,-2)\). What type of figure is ABCD ?

    Solution: After plotting these points on the cartesian plane, it can be observed that ABCD forms a square.

  7. Question: Find the values of \(x\) and \(y\) if \((3x-7,2y+11)=(2x-3,2-y)\)

    Solution: From \(3x - 7 = 2x - 3\), we can find \(x = 4\). From \(2y + 11 = 2 - y\), we can find \(y = -3\).

  8. Question: The points \(E(2,4)\), \(F(-5,4)\) and \(H(2,-3)\) are the vertices of a square EFGH. Plot the points on the graph paper and hence, find the coordinates of \(G\).

    Solution: The coordinates of \(G\) are \((-5, -3)\) as it will be diagonally opposite to \(E\) and have the same x-coordinate as \(F\) and the same y-coordinate as \(H\).

  9. Question: Plot the points \((-4,-10)\),\((-2,-4)\),\((0,2)\),\((2,8)\) and \((4,14)\) and show that they are collinear.

    Solution: These points are collinear because the differences in the x-coordinates and y-coordinates are proportional: \(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{y_3-y_2}{x_3-x_2} = \ldots\) for collinear points. You can verify this by plotting them on graph paper.

  10. Question: The following table gives the cost of different number of toys.

    \(x\) (number of toys) 2 4 6 8 10 12 15
    \(y\) (cost in ₹) 20 40 60 80 100 120 150

    Plot the points (as ordered pairs) and join them.

    Solution: Plot each point from the table as an ordered pair (x, y) on graph paper, such as (2, 20), (4, 40), etc., and join them to see the linear relationship between the number of toys and the total cost.
