1. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The equation of a line in point-slope form is
y −y1 = m(x−x1 ), where m is the slope and (x1 , y1 ) is a point on the line. Substituting
m = −4, x1 = 10, and y1 = 11 into the equation gives y − 11 = −4(x − 10). Simplifying
this equation gives the correct answer: y = −4x + 51.
2. Correct Answer Explanation: 2: The equation x2 + 2x − 8 = 0 can be factored
to (x − 2)(x + 4) = 0. Setting each factor equal to zero gives the solutions x = 2 and
x = −4. Since we are looking for the positive value of x, the correct answer is x = 2.
3. Correct Answer Explanation: C) The function n(x) = (x−11)(x+5) is a quadratic
function, and its graph is a parabola. The vertex of the parabola represents the mini-
mum or maximum of the function. The x-coordinate of the vertex can be found using
b
the formula x = − 2a , where a and b are the coefficients of x2 and x respectively in the
standard form of the quadratic function ax2 + bx + c. After expanding the function to
−6
its standard form n(x) = x2 −6x−55, we find that a = 1 and b = −6. So, x = − 2∗1 =3
is the value that minimizes n(x).
4. Correct Answer Explanation: D) First, solve for t in the equation 2t = 9 by multi-
2
plying both sides by 2 to get t = 18. Then, substitute t = 18 into 2t to get 18 = 19 .
5. Correct Answer Explanation: 35: The discriminant of the quadratic equation is
e2 − 1296. For the equation to have no real roots, the discriminant must be less than
zero. This gives the inequality e2 < 1296, which simplifies to e < 36. Since e is a
positive integer, the highest possible value of e is 35.
6. Correct Answer Explanation: D) The question states that 180 is u% more than
u
60. This can be written as the equation 60 + 60 × 100 = 180. Simplifying this equation
u
gives 60 × 100 = 180 − 60, which can be solved to find u = 120
60
× 100, or u = 200.
7. Correct Answer Explanation: C) Setting up the equations based on the information
given in the question, we have two equations: F = 5A and F = A + 30000. Since both
expressions are equal to F, we can set them equal to each other: 5A = A + 30000.
Subtracting A from both sides to isolate the variable, we get 4A = 30000. Dividing
both sides by 4 to solve for A, we find that A = 7500.

8. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The slope of a line is the coefficient of x in its
equation. In the equation w(x) = 12x + 4, the coefficient of x is 12, which is the slope
of the line. Since line t is parallel to the line represented by w(x), it must have the
same slope. Therefore, the slope of line t is 12.
9. Correct Answer Explanation: C) We don’t know the height of triangle H, so we
can’t find an expression for j.
10. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The vertex of a parabolic function like this one is
the point at which the function reaches its maximum or minimum value. In this case,
since the coefficient of (o − 4)2 is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and the vertex
is a minimum point. The o-coordinate of the vertex is given by the formula −b/2a,
where a and b are the coefficients in the quadratic term. Here, a = 1/8 and b = −4,
so the o-coordinate of the vertex is −(−4)/(2 ∗ (1/8)) = 4. Substituting o = 4 into the
function gives n(4) = 81 (4 − 4)2 + 2 = 2. So the vertex of the graph is at (4, 2), which
signifies the time and height at which the ball reaches its minimum height.
11. Correct Answer Explanation: B) Substituting the point (2, 9) into each system
of inequalities, we find that it satisfies the inequalities in option B: 9 > 2(2) + 3 and
9 < 2 + 8, which simplifies to 9 > 7 and 9 < 10. Both inequalities are true, so B is the
correct answer.
12. Correct Answer Explanation: D) To convert feet to miles, we divide the number
of feet by the number of feet in a mile. So, the swimmer swam 16,800
5,280
miles, which is
approximately 3.18 miles.
13. Correct Answer Explanation: C) Substituting 2w for v in the first equation gives
2w + w = 26, which simplifies to 3w = 26. Solving for w gives w = 26 3
. Substituting w
into the second equation gives v = 2 ∗ 26
3
, which simplifies to v = 52
3
. So the solution is
52 26
(v, w) = ( 3 , 3 ).
s 2
14. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The equation 144 = 1 simplifies to s2 = 144.
Taking the square root of both sides gives s = ±12, so the possible values of s are 12
and -12.

15. Correct Answer Explanation: C) First, subtract the weight of the container from
the total weight capacity to find the weight capacity for the goods: 10, 000kg −
1, 000kg = 9, 000 kg. Then, divide the remaining weight capacity by the weight of
each good to find the maximum number of goods: 9, 000kg/200kg/good = 45goods.
16. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The y-intercept of the function y = h(x) − 25 is
given by h(0)−25 = − 132
9
. Substituting x = 0 into h(x) gives h(0) = −m0 +n = −1+n.
Equating the two expressions for h(0) gives −1 + n − 25 = − 132 9
, which simplifies to
n = 25 − 9 + 1 = 3 . Substituting n = 9 into the equation mn = 108
132 34 93
9
gives
108 18
m = 93 = 7 .
17. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The percentage is calculated by dividing the part
(120) by the whole (600) and then multiplying by 100. This gives 20%.
18. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The value of sin(2.5) is approximately 0.598.
Therefore, w(2.5) = 0.598.
19. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The phrase ”2 less than 7 times a number h”
means we subtract 2 from 7 times h, which gives us 7h − 2. This is equal to 33, so the
equation is 7h − 2 = 33.
20. Correct
√ Answer Explanation: C) First, simplify2 the√ left side of the equation to get
2 = 7 w + 13. Then, divide both sides by 7 to get 7 = w + 13. Squaring both sides,
2 2
2 2
we get 7
= w + 13. Finally, subtract 13 from both sides to get w = 7
− 13.
21. Correct
q Answer Explanation: B) In a right triangle withqequal legs, the legs are
each 12 times the length of the hypotenuse. So, each leg is 12 × 90 inches = 63.64
inches. The total length of the triangle’s sides is the sum of the lengths of the two legs
and the hypotenuse. So, the total length is 63.64 inches + 63.64 inches + 90 inches =
217.28 inches.
