Problem 51 :
Which of the following is the graph of the function y = x2 + 2x - 3?
Solution:
y = x2 + 2x - 3
y = ax2 + bx + c
a = 1, b = 2 and c = -3
a > 0 (the graph opens up)
y-intercept: x = 0
y = -3
y-intercept = (0, - 3)
Axis of symmetry:
x = -b/2a
x = -2/2
x = -1
So, option (D) is correct.
Problem 52 :
Which best represents the graph of y = 2x - 2?
Solution:
y = 2x - 2
When x = 0,
y = -2
When y = 0,
x = 1
So, option (A) is correct.
Problem 53 :
Which graph best represents 2x - y < 10?
Solution:
2x - y < 10
Option A :
Taking one of the points from the shaded region, we get (6, -6)
2(6) - (-6) < 10
12 + 6 < 10
18 < 10
It is false, so option A is incorrect.
Option B :
Taking one of the points from the shaded region, we get (2, 2)
2(2) - 2 < 10
4 - 2 < 10
2 < 10
It is true, so option B is correct.
Problem 54 :
The formula below illustrates how to calculate body mass index (B), using weight (w) and height (h).
Which of the following shows this equation correctly solved for w?
Solution:
So, option (C) is correct.
Problem 55 :
What are the solutions for the quadratic equation
x2 + 6x = 16?
A. {-2, -8} B. {-2, 8} C. {2, -8} D. {2, 8}
Solution:
x2 + 6x = 16
x2 + 6x - 16 = 0
x2 + 8x - 2x - 16 = 0
x(x + 8) - 2(x + 8) = 0
(x - 2)(x + 8) = 0
x = 2 and x = -8
So, option (C) is correct.
Problem 56 :
Solve 6 - 3(4x - 5) = 7.
Solution:
6 - 3(4x - 5) = 7
6 - 12x + 15 - 7 = 0
14 - 12x = 0
-12x = -14
x = -14/-12
x = 7/6
So, option (B) is correct.
Problem 57 :
Which expression represents y4 - 36 in simplest factored form?
A. (y2 + 4)(y2 - 9) B. (y2 + 4)(y - 3)(y + 3)
C. (y2 + 6)(y2 - 6) D. (y4 - 36)(y + 1)
Solution:
= y4 - 36
= (y2)2 - 62
a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b)
= (y2 + 6)(y2 - 6)
So, option (C) is correct.
Problem 58 :
Solve x2 - 7x + 10 = 28.
A. {-4, -7} B. {-2, 9} C. {5, 2} D. {30, 33}
Solution:
x2 - 7x + 10 = 28
x2 - 7x + 10 - 28 = 0
x2 - 7x - 18 = 0
x2 - 9x + 2x - 18 = 0
x(x - 9) + 2(x - 9) = 0
(x + 2)(x - 9) = 0
x = -2 and x = 9
So, option (B) is correct.
Problem 59 :
Which inequality is shown on the graph below?
Solution:
y- intercept = -1
Slope m = Rise/Run
m = 1/2
Solid line shaded above (≥).
y ≥ 1/2 - 1
So, option (D) is correct.
Problem 60 :
What is the value of x in the equation: 6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3
>Solution:
6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3
24x - 3x + 30 - 27 = 0
21x + 3 = 0
21x = -3
x = -3/21
x = -1/7
So, option (B) is correct.
