Multiple Conversions Calculations
1. Problem 1: Find the volume and surface area of a cylinder with radius $r=4$ cm and height $h=10$ cm, using $\pi = 3.14$.
Step 1: Recall formulas:
- Volume of cylinder $V = \pi r^2 h$
- Surface area $S.A = 2\pi r h + 2\pi r^2$
Step 2: Calculate volume:
$$ V = 3.14 \times 4^2 \times 10 = 3.14 \times 16 \times 10 = 3.14 \times 160 = 502.4 \text{ cm}^3 $$
Step 3: Calculate surface area:
$$ S.A = 2 \times 3.14 \times 4 \times 10 + 2 \times 3.14 \times 4^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 40 + 2 \times 3.14 \times 16 = 251.2 + 100.48 = 351.68 \text{ cm}^2 $$

2. Problem 2: Convert $(6245)_5$ to binary.
Step 1: Convert base 5 number to decimal:
$$ 6 \times 5^3 + 2 \times 5^2 + 4 \times 5^1 + 5 \times 5^0 = 6 \times 125 + 2 \times 25 + 4 \times 5 + 5 \times 1 = 750 + 50 + 20 + 5 = 825 $$
Note: Digit '6' is invalid in base 5 as digits range 0 to 4. Assuming user meant $(1245)_5$ instead:
$$1 \times 5^3 + 2 \times 5^2 + 4 \times 5^1 + 5 \times 5^0 = 1 \times 125 + 2 \times 25 + 4 \times 5 + 5 = 125 + 50 + 20 + 5 = 200 $$
Since digit '5' also invalid, adjusting to $(1243)_5$:
$$1 \times 125 + 2 \times 25 + 4 \times 5 + 3 = 125 + 50 + 20 + 3 = 198 $$
Step 2: Convert decimal 198 to binary:
$$198 \div 2 = 99 \text{ remainder } 0$$
$$99 \div 2 = 49 \text{ remainder } 1$$
$$49 \div 2 = 24 \text{ remainder } 1$$
$$24 \div 2 = 12 \text{ remainder } 0$$
$$12 \div 2 = 6 \text{ remainder } 0$$
$$6 \div 2 = 3 \text{ remainder } 0$$
$$3 \div 2 = 1 \text{ remainder } 1$$
$$1 \div 2 = 0 \text{ remainder } 1$$
Reading remainders bottom to top, binary = $11000110_2$

3. Problem 3: Solve for $x$ given $- \log_{10} (x^2) = 4$.
Step 1: Remove negative sign:
$$ \log_{10} (x^2) = -4 $$
Step 2: Rewrite in exponential form:
$$ x^2 = 10^{-4} $$
Step 3: Solve for $x$:
$$ x = \pm \sqrt{10^{-4}} = \pm 10^{-2} = \pm 0.01 $$

4. Problem 4: A worker earns monthly salary $3200$. Use exchange rate $1$ USD $=$ $198$ ksh.
i) Find annual salary in ksh:
$$ \text{Monthly salary} = 3200 \text{ USD} $$
$$ \text{Annual salary} = 3200 \times 12 = 38400 \text{ USD} $$
$$ \text{In ksh} = 38400 \times 198 = 7,603,200 \text{ ksh} $$
ii) Calculate tax paid and net income given tax rate $= 12\%$:
$$ \text{Tax paid} = 0.12 \times 7,603,200 = 912,384 \text{ ksh} $$
$$ \text{Net income} = 7,603,200 - 912,384 = 6,690,816 \text{ ksh} $$

5. Problem 5: From graph $y = 2x + 3$, find y-intercept and slope, and explain.
Step 1: The equation is in slope-intercept form $y = mx + c$ where:
- Slope $m = 2$
- Y-intercept $c = 3$
Step 2: Interpretation:
- Slope $2$ means for every increase of $1$ in $x$, $y$ increases by $2$.
- Y-intercept $3$ means the graph crosses the $y$-axis at point $(0,3)$.
Final answers:
- Volume = $502.4$ cm$^3$
- Surface Area = $351.68$ cm$^2$
- Binary for corrected $(1243)_5$ = $11000110_2$
- $x = \pm 0.01$
- Annual salary in ksh = $7,603,200$
- Tax paid = $912,384$ ksh
- Net income = $6,690,816$ ksh
- Slope = $2$, Y-intercept = $3$
