2. Answer all questions by showing your work clearly

Question One (25 Marks)

(a) Given that, y is inversely proportional to x,such that x = 8 when
y = 15.Find formula connecting x and y by expressing y in terms of x
and use it to find
i) y when x = 10 (03 Marks)
ii) x when y = 3 (03 Marks)
(b) The mass of a spheres of a certain metal is proportional to the cube of
their radii.A sphere of radius 10cm has mass 4kg.Find radius of a sphere
with mass 5.25kg (08 Marks)
(c) Suppose a mass of a gas with volume Vm3 is under pressure P mkg2 and has
absolute temperature T0 .The volume of a gas varies jointly with its absolute
temperature and inversely with its pressure.At a temperature of 300k and
pressure of 80 mkg2 ,the volume is 0.5m3 .Find formula for the volume V in terms
of T0 and P (11 Marks)

Question Four (25 Marks)

The mode which derived from Histogram is given by mode = U − ( t1t+t
2
2
)i,for U
is Upper real limit,t1 = fm − fl , t2 = fm − fr ,where fm is a frequency of a
mode , fl and fr are left and right frequency from mode frequency respectively.
