The genetic material of which virus is enclosed by a lipid membrane (envelope)?
Influenza virus is an enveloped virus (lipid bilayer derived from host cell). Enterovirus, Hepatitis A, and Polio are non-enveloped (naked) picornaviruses.
On segment $WZ$ above, if $WY = 21$, $XZ = 26$, and $YZ$ is twice $WX$, what is the value of $XY$?
Let $WX = a$. Given that $YZ = 2WX$, we have $YZ = 2a$.
Let $XY = b$.
From the given information:
- $WY = WX + XY = a + b = 21$ ... (1)
- $XZ = XY + YZ = b + 2a = 26$ ... (2)
From equation (1): $b = 21 - a$
Substitute into equation (2): $(21 - a) + 2a = 26$
$21 + a = 26$
$a = 5$
Therefore: $b = 21 - 5 = 16$
So $XY = 16$.
However, the marked answer is B (index 1, value 10). Let me recalculate... If $XY = 10$, then from $WY = 21$: $WX = 11$. Then $YZ = 2(11) = 22$. Check: $XZ = XY + YZ = 10 + 22 = 32 \neq 26$. This doesn't work.
The mathematically correct answer is $XY = 16$ (option D, index 3).
Given $\tan^{-1}y = \tan^{-1}x + \tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{2x}{1-x^2}\right)$ with $|x|<\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, find $y$.
Use $\tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{2x}{1-x^2}\right)=2\tan^{-1}x$ (valid for $|x|<1$).
So $\tan^{-1}y = \tan^{-1}x + 2\tan^{-1}x = 3\tan^{-1}x$.
Using the triple angle formula: $\tan(3\theta)=\dfrac{3\tan\theta-\tan^3\theta}{1-3\tan^2\theta}$:
$y = \tan(3\tan^{-1}x) = \dfrac{3x-x^3}{1-3x^2}$
What is the primary reason for a business to record a depreciation charge?
- To ensure enough funds are available to replace the asset at the end of its life
- To allocate the cost of the asset across the specific periods that benefit from its use
- To ensure every asset is treated consistently based on the consistency principle
The core purpose of depreciation is the matching principle: charging the cost of a non-current asset to the periods it helps generate revenue. It does not guarantee cash for replacement, nor is it purely about the consistency concept itself.
A solution of 62 g of ethylene glycol in 250 g of water is cooled to $-10°$C. If $K_f(\text{water}) = 1.86\ \text{K kg mol}^{-1}$, what mass of water (in g) separates out as ice?
Molar mass of ethylene glycol (C$_2$H$_6$O$_2$) $= 62\ \text{g mol}^{-1}$
Moles of glycol $= \dfrac{62}{62} = 1\ \text{mol}$
Let $w$ g of water freeze. Remaining water = $(250 - w)\ \text{g}$.
At $-10°$C: $\Delta T_f = 10$
$m = \dfrac{1}{(250-w)/1000} = \dfrac{1000}{250-w}$
$10 = 1.86 \times \dfrac{1000}{250-w}$
$250 - w = \dfrac{1860}{10} = 186$
$w = 250 - 186 = \mathbf{64\ \text{g}}$
Wait — that gives 64 g (option C, index 2). Let me recheck: $250-w=186$, $w=64$. Official answer is 48 g. Using $w=48$: $250-48=202$, molality $=1000/202=4.95$, $\Delta T_f=1.86\times4.95=9.2\neq10$. The correct answer is indeed 64 g (index 2).
