Hector used a tool called an auger to remove corn from a storage bin at a
constant rate. The bin contained 24,000 bushels of corn when Hector began to
use the auger. After 5 hours of using the auger, 19,350 bushels of corn
remained in the bin. If the auger continues to remove corn at this rate, what is
the total number of hours Hector will have been using the auger when
12,840 bushels of corn remain in the bin?

A. 3

B. 7

C. 8

D. 12

ID: 2937ef4f Answer


Correct Answer: D

Rationale
Choice D is correct. After using the auger for 5 hours, Hector had removed 24,000 – 19,350 = 4,650 bushels of corn
from the storage bin. During the 5-hour period, the auger removed corn from the bin at a constant rate of

bushels per hour. Assuming the auger continues to remove corn at this rate, after x hours it will have
removed 930x bushels of corn. Because the bin contained 24,000 bushels of corn when Hector started using the auger,
the equation 24,000 – 930x = 12,840 can be used to find the number of hours, x, Hector will have been using the auger
when 12,840 bushels of corn remain in the bin. Subtracting 12,840 from both sides of this equation and adding 930x to
both sides of the equation yields 11,160 = 930x. Dividing both sides of this equation by 930 yields x = 12. Therefore,
Hector will have been using the auger for 12 hours when 12,840 bushels of corn remain in the storage bin.

Choice A is incorrect. Three hours after Hector began using the auger, 24,000 – 3(930) = 21,210 bushels of corn
remained, not 12,840. Choice B is incorrect. Seven hours after Hector began using the auger, 24,000 – 7(930) = 17,490
bushels of corn will remain, not 12,840. Choice C is incorrect. Eight hours after Hector began using the auger, 24,000 –
8(930) = 16,560 bushels of corn will remain, not 12,840.

An economist modeled the demand Q for a certain product as a linear function


of the selling price P. The demand was 20,000 units when the selling price was
$40 per unit, and the demand was 15,000 units when the selling price was $60
per unit. Based on the model, what is the demand, in units, when the selling
price is $55 per unit?

A. 16,250

B. 16,500

C. 16,750

D. 17,500

ID: 2b15d65f Answer


Correct Answer: A

Rationale
Choice A is correct. Let the economist’s model be the linear function , where Q is the demand, P is the
selling price, m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the line in the xy-plane, where
. Two pairs of the selling price P and the demand Q are given. Using the coordinate pairs , two points that
satisfy the function are and . The slope m of the function can be found using the formula

. Substituting the given values into this formula yields , or .


Therefore, . The value of b can be found by substituting one of the points into the function.
Substituting the values of P and Q from the point yields , or
. Adding 10,000 to both sides of this equation yields . Therefore, the linear
function the economist used as the model is . Substituting 55 for P yields
. It follows that when the selling price is $55 per unit, the demand is 16,250 units.

Adam’s school is a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute bus ride away from his house.
The bus runs once every 30 minutes, and the number of minutes, w, that Adam
waits for the bus varies between 0 and 30. Which of the following inequalities
gives the values of w for which it would be faster for Adam to walk to school?

A.

B.

C.

D.

ID: 45cfb9de Answer


Correct Answer: D

Rationale
Choice D is correct. It is given that w is the number of minutes that Adam waits for the bus. The total time it takes
Adam to get to school on a day he takes the bus is the sum of the minutes, w, he waits for the bus and the 5 minutes
the bus ride takes; thus, this time, in minutes, is w + 5. It is also given that the total amount of time it takes Adam to get
to school on a day that he walks is 20 minutes. Therefore, w + 5 > 20 gives the values of w for which it would be faster
for Adam to walk to school.

Choices A and B are incorrect because w – 5 is not the total length of time for Adam to wait for and then take the bus
to school. Choice C is incorrect because the inequality should be true when walking 20 minutes is faster than the time
it takes Adam to wait for and ride the bus, not less.

ID: b7e6394d

Alan drives an average of 100 miles each week. His car can travel an average
of 25 miles per gallon of gasoline. Alan would like to reduce his weekly
expenditure on gasoline by $5. Assuming gasoline costs $4 per gallon, which
equation can Alan use to determine how many fewer average miles, m, he
should drive each week?

A.

B.

C.

D.

ID: b7e6394d Answer


Correct Answer: D

Rationale
Choice D is correct. Since gasoline costs $4 per gallon, and since Alan’s car travels an average of 25 miles per gallon,

the expression gives the cost, in dollars per mile, to drive the car. Multiplying by m gives the cost for Alan to

drive m miles in his car. Alan wants to reduce his weekly spending by $5, so setting m equal to 5 gives the number
of miles, m, by which he must reduce his driving.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Choices A and B transpose the numerator and the denominator in the fraction. The

fraction would result in the unit miles per dollar, but the question requires a unit of dollars per mile. Choices A and
C set the expression equal to 95 instead of 5, a mistake that may result from a misconception that Alan wants to
reduce his driving by 5 miles each week; instead, the question says he wants to reduce his weekly expenditure by $5.

Choice D is correct. Since a 10-ride pass costs $12.50 and g is the number of 10-ride passes Tony buys in a month, the
expression represents the amount Tony spends on 10-ride passes in a month. Since a single-ride pass costs
$1.50 and t is the number of single-ride passes Tony buys in a month, the expression represents the amount
Tony spends on single-ride passes in a month. Therefore, the sum represents the amount he spends
on the two types of passes in a month. Since Tony spends a total of $80 on passes in a month, this expression can be
set equal to 80, producing .

Choices A and B are incorrect. The expression represents the total number of the two types of passes Tony buys
in a month, not the amount Tony spends, which is equal to 80, nor the cost of one of each pass, which is equal to
. Choice C is incorrect and may result from reversing the cost for each type of pass Tony buys in a
month.

the following must be true?

A.

B.

C.

D.

ID: 84d0d07e Answer


Correct Answer: A

Rationale
Choice A is correct. Since the cost of each shirt is $15 and Geoff buys s shirts, the expression represents the
amount Geoff spends on shirts. Since the cost of each pair of pants is $25 and Geoff buys p pairs of pants, the
expression represents the amount Geoff spends on pants. Therefore, the sum represents the total

be less than or equal to 120. Thus, .

Choice B is incorrect. This represents the situation in which Geoff spends at least, rather than at most, $120 at the
store. Choice C is incorrect and may result from reversing the cost of a shirt and that of a pair of paints. Choice D is
incorrect and may result from both reversing the cost of a shirt and that of a pair of pants and from representing a

Correct Answer: A

Rationale

Choice A is correct. Each of the choices is a linear equation in the form y = mx + b, where m and b are constants. In this

about:srcdoc Страница 35 из 198


09.10.2024, 23:45

equation, m represents the change in y for each increase in x by 1. From the table, it can be determined that the value
of y increases by 2 for each increase in x by 1. In other words, for the pairs of x and y in the given table, m = 2. The
value of b can be found by substituting the values of x and y from any row of the table and substituting the value of m
into the equation y = mx + b and then solving for b. For example, using x = 1, y = 5, and m = 2 yields 5 = 2(1) + b. Solving
for b yields b = 3. Therefore, the equation y = 2x + 3 could represent the relationship between x and y in the given table.

Alternatively, if an equation represents the relationship between x and y, then when each pair of x and y from the table
is substituted into the equation, the result will be a true statement. Of the equations given, the equation y = 2x + 3 in
choice A is the only equation that results in a true statement when each of the pairs of x and y are substituted into the
equation.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because when at least one pair of x and y from the table is substituted into the
equations given in these choices, the result is a false statement. For example, when the pair x = 4 and y = 11 is
substituted into the equation in choice B, the result is 11 = 3(4) – 2, or 11 = 10, which is false.

Rationale

about:srcdoc Страница 40 из 198


09.10.2024, 23:45

Choice A is correct. The total number of workbooks and sets of flash cards ordered is represented by x + y. Since the
teacher must order at least 20 items, it must be true that x + y ≥ 20. Each workbook costs $3; therefore, 3x represents
the cost, in dollars, of x workbooks. Each set of flashcards costs $4; therefore, 4y represents the cost, in dollars, of y
sets of flashcards. It follows that the total cost for x workbooks and y sets of flashcards is 3x + 4y. Since the total cost
of the order must not be over $80, it must also be true that 3x + 4y ≤ 80. Of the choices given, these inequalities are
shown only in choice A.

Choice B is incorrect. The second inequality says that the total cost must be greater, not less than or equal to $80.
Choice C incorrectly limits the cost by the minimum number of items and the number of items with the maximum cost.
Choice D is incorrect. The first inequality incorrectly says that at most 20 items must be ordered, and the second
inequality says that the total cost of the order must be at least, not at most, $80.

driven. If the truck was driven 38 miles, what was the total amount Robert was
charged?

A. $46.60

B. $52.90

C. $66.90

D. $86.50

ID: 1ecaa9c0 Answer


Correct Answer: A

Rationale
Choice A is correct. It’s given that Robert was charged an initial fee of $20.00 to rent the truck plus an additional $0.70
per mile driven. Let m represent the number of miles the truck was driven. Since the rental charge is $0.70 per mile
driven, represents the amount Robert was charged for m miles driven. Let c equal the total amount, in dollars,
Robert was charged to rent the truck. The total amount can be represented by the equation . It’s
given that the truck was driven 38 miles, thus . Substituting 38 into the equation gives .
Multiplying gives . Adding these values gives , so the total amount Robert was
charged is $46.60.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect and may result from setting up the equation incorrectly or from making calculation
errors.

A discount airline sells a certain number of tickets, x, for a flight for $90 each. It
sells the number of remaining tickets, y, for $250 each. For a particular flight,
the airline sold 120 tickets and collected a total of $27,600 from the sale of
those tickets. Which system of equations represents this relationship between
x and y ?

A.

B.

C.

D.

ID: 7d89376f Answer


Correct Answer: A

Rationale
Choice A is correct. The airline sold two types of tickets for this flight: x tickets at $90 each and the remaining tickets,
y, at $250 each. Because the airline sold a total of 120 tickets for this flight, it must be true that x + y = 120. The
amount, in dollars, collected from the sale of x tickets at $90 each is represented by 90x. The amount, in dollars,
collected from the sale of the remaining y tickets at $250 each is represented by 250y. It is given that a total of $27,600
was collected from the sale of all tickets. Therefore, it must also be true that 90x + 250y = 27,600.

Choice B is incorrect. The total number of tickets sold is represented correctly as x + y = 120. The total amount, in
dollars, collected from the sale of the x tickets at $90 each and the remaining tickets, y, at $250 has been correctly
represented as 90x + 250y. However, according to the information given, this total should be equal to 27,600, not
120(27,600) dollars. Choice C is incorrect. The total number of tickets sold has been correctly represented as x + y.
However, according to the information given, this total should be equal to 120, not 27,600, as shown in choice C. The
total amount, in dollars, collected from the sale of the x tickets at $90 each and the remaining tickets, y, at $250 has
been correctly represented as 90x + 250y. However, according to the information given, this total should be equal to
27,600, not 120(27,600) dollars. Choice D is incorrect. The two equations given in choice D have no meaning in this
context.

A movie theater charges $11 for each full-price ticket and $8.25 for each
reduced-price ticket. For one movie showing, the theater sold a total of 214 full-
price and reduced-price tickets for $2,145. Which of the following systems of
equations could be used to determine the number of full-price tickets, f, and the
number of reduced-price tickets, r, sold?

A.

B.

C.

D.

ID: 17f176ec Answer


Correct Answer: B

Rationale
Choice B is correct. The movie theater sells f full-price tickets and r reduced-price tickets, so the total number of tickets
sold is f + r. Since the movie theater sold a total of 214 full-price and reduced-price tickets for one movie showing, it
follows that f + r = 214. The movie theater charges $11 for each full-price ticket; thus, the sales for full-price tickets, in
dollars, is given by 11f. The movie theater charges $8.25 for each reduced-price ticket; thus, the sales for reduced-price
tickets, in dollars, is given by 8.25r. Therefore, the total sales, in dollars, for the movie showing is given by 11f + 8.25r.
Since the total sales for all full-price and reduced-price tickets is $2,145, it follows that 11f + 8.25r = 2,145.

Choice A is incorrect. This system of equations suggests that the movie theater sold a total of 2,145 full-price and
reduced-price tickets for a total of $214. Choice C is incorrect. This system suggests that the movie theater charges
$8.25 for each full-price ticket and $11 for each reduced-price ticket. Choice D is incorrect. This system suggests that
the movie theater charges $8.25 for each full-price ticket and $11 for each reduced-price ticket and sold a total of 2,145
tickets for a total of $214.

Therefore, the mean number of students who completed summer internships from Foothill High School is

, or 77.6. Similarly, the mean number from Valley High School is

, or 64.2. Thus, the mean number from Foothill High School is greater than the mean
number from Valley High School. When a data set has an odd number of elements, the median can be found by
ordering the values from least to greatest and determining the value in the middle. Since there are five values in each
data set, the third value in each ordered list is the median. Therefore, the median number from Foothill High School is
76 and the median number from Valley High School is 65. Thus, the median number from Foothill High School is
greater than the median number from Valley High School.

High temperature (°F) 81 80 81 81 82

Over this 5-day period, which of the following is NOT equal to 81°F?

A. Median of the high temperatures

B. Mean of the high temperatures

C. Mode of the high temperatures

D. Range of the high temperatures

ID: 869a32f1 Answer


Correct Answer: D

Rationale
Choice D is correct. The range of a data set is the difference between the maximum and the minimum values in the set.
The maximum value among the high temperatures in the table is 82°F and the minimum value is 80°F. Therefore, the
range is 82°F – 80°F = 2°F.

Choice A is incorrect. The median of a data set is the middle value when the values in the set are ordered from least to
greatest. Ordering the high temperatures this way gives the list 80, 81, 81, 81, 82. Therefore, the median high

temperature is 81°F. Choice B is incorrect. The mean high temperature is .


Choice C is incorrect. The mode is the value that occurs the greatest number of times. For the set of high temperatures
shown, 81 is the value that occurs 3 times, and therefore, 81°F is the mode of the high temperatures.

The graph above shows the relationship between the speed of a particular car,
in miles per hour, and its corresponding braking distance, in feet. Approximately
how many feet greater will the car’s braking distance be when the car is
traveling at 50 miles per hour than when the car is traveling at 30 miles per
hour?

A. 75

B. 125

C. 175

D. 250

ID: d6121490 Answer


Correct Answer: B

Rationale
Choice B is correct. According to the graph, when the car is traveling at 50 miles per hour, the braking distance is
approximately 225 feet, and when the car is traveling at 30 miles per hour, the braking distance is approximately 100
feet. The difference between these braking distances is , or 125 feet.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from finding the braking distance for 20 miles per hour, the difference between the
given speeds. Choice C is incorrect and may result from subtracting the speed from the braking distance at 50 miles
per hour. Choice D is incorrect and may result from finding the difference in the braking distances at 60 and 20 miles
per hour.

D.

ID: 9296553d Answer


Correct Answer: A

Rationale
Choice A is correct. A line of best fit for the data in a scatterplot is a line that follows the trend of the data with
approximately half the data points above and half the data points below the line. Based on the given data, a line of best
fit will have a positive y-intercept on or near the point and a negative slope. All of the choices are in slope-
intercept form , where m is the slope and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. Only choice A is an
equation of a line with a positive y-intercept at and a negative slope, .

Choice B is incorrect. This equation is for a line that has a negative y-intercept, not a positive y-intercept. Choices C and
D are incorrect and may result from one or more sign errors and from switching the values of the y-intercept and the
slope in the equation.

A market researcher selected 200 people at random from a group of people


who indicated that they liked a certain book. The 200 people were shown a
movie based on the book and then asked whether they liked or disliked the
movie. Of those surveyed, 95% said they disliked the movie. Which of the
following inferences can appropriately be drawn from this survey result?

A. At least 95% of people who go see movies will dislike this movie.

B. At least 95% of people who read books will dislike this movie.

C. Most people who dislike this book will like this movie.

D. Most people who like this book will dislike this movie.

ID: 82dfb646 Answer


Correct Answer: D

Rationale
Choice D is correct. The sample was selected from a group of people who indicated that they liked the book. It is
inappropriate to generalize the result of the survey beyond the population from which the participants were selected.
Choice D is the most appropriate inference from the survey results because it describes a conclusion about people
who liked the book, and the results of the survey indicate that most people who like the book disliked the movie.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because none of these inferences can be drawn from the survey results. Choices A
and B need not be true. The people surveyed all liked the book on which the movie was based, which is not necessarily
true of all people who go see movies or all people who read books. Thus, the people surveyed are not representative of
all people who go see movies or all people who read books. Therefore, the results of this survey cannot appropriately
be extended to at least 95% of people who go see movies or to at least 95% of people who read books. Choice C need
not be true because the sample includes only people who liked the book, and so the results do not extend to people
who dislike the book.

Marta has 7,500 pesos she will convert to US dollars using a currency

dollars. The exchange service will charge Marta a 2% fee on the converted US
dollar amount. How many US dollars will Marta receive from the currency
exchange after the 2% fee is applied?

A. $551.25

B. $562.50

C. $5,625.00

D. $98,000.00

ID: 3ac09984 Answer


Correct Answer: A

Rationale
Choice A is correct. At the exchange rate of 1 peso = 0.075 US dollars, 7,500 pesos would be converted to 7,500 ×
0.075 = $562.50. However, since Maria pays a 2% fee on the converted US dollar amount, she receives only (100 – 2)%,
or 98%, of the converted US dollars, and 562.50 × 0.98 = $551.25.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the number of US dollars Maria would receive if the exchange service did not charge a 2%
fee. Choice C is incorrect and may result from a decimal point error made when calculating the conversion to US
dollars and from not assessing the 2% fee. Choice D is incorrect and may result from reversing the units of the
exchange rate.

most of their medical information from a doctor or from magazines/brochures), not 76%, of 1,200. Choice B is incorrect
because 887 is about 74%, not 76%, of 1,200. Choice D is incorrect because 926 is about 77%, not 76%, of 1,200.

Plausible values of the number of the students at the school who support a menu change are between 295 and
D. 305.

ID: 0108ac2d Answer


Correct Answer: C

Rationale
Choice C is correct. It’s given that an estimated 38% of sampled students at the school were in support of a menu
change, with a margin of error of 5.5%. It follows that the percent of the students at the school who support a menu
change is 38% plus or minus 5.5%. The lower bound of this estimation is , or 32.5%. The upper bound of this
estimation is , or 43.5%. Therefore, plausible values of the percent of the students at the school who support a
menu change are between 32.5% and 43.5%.

Choice A is incorrect. This is the percent of the sampled students at the school who support a menu change. Choices B

A. 11,000 to 12,000

B. 12,500 to 13,500

C. 13,500 to 14,500

D. 18,000 to 19,000

ID: f4b3672a Answer


Correct Answer: C

Rationale

Choice C is correct. The mean of the 5 samples is trees per acre. The best estimate for
the total number of trees in the forest is the product of the mean number of trees per acre in the sample and the total
number of acres in the forest. This is (56)(253) = 14,168, which is between 13,500 and 14,500.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from multiplying the minimum number of trees per acre in the sample, 45, by the
number of acres, 253. Choice B is incorrect and may result from multiplying the median number of trees per acre in the
sample, 52, by the number of acres, 253. Choice D is incorrect and may result from multiplying the maximum number

To make a bakery’s signature chocolate muffins, a baker needs 2.5 ounces of


chocolate for each muffin. How many pounds of chocolate are needed to make
48 signature chocolate muffins? (1 pound = 16 ounces)

A. 7.5

B. 10

C. 50.5

D. 120

ID: 06a152cd Answer


Correct Answer: A

Rationale
Choice A is correct. If 2.5 ounces of chocolate are needed for each muffin, then the number of ounces of chocolate
needed to make 48 muffins is ounces. Since 1 pound = 16 ounces, the number of pounds that is

equivalent to 120 ounces is pounds. Therefore, 7.5 pounds of chocolate are needed to make the 48
muffins.

Choice B is incorrect. If 10 pounds of chocolate were needed to make 48 muffins, then the total number of ounces of
chocolate needed would be ounces. The number of ounces of chocolate per muffin would then be

ounces per muffin, not 2.5 ounces per muffin. Choices C and D are also incorrect. Following the same
procedures as used to test choice B gives 16.8 ounces per muffin for choice C and 40 ounces per muffin for choice D,
not 2.5 ounces per muffin. Therefore, 50.5 and 120 pounds cannot be the number of pounds needed to make 48
signature chocolate muffins.

B. 2008–2009

C. 2009–2010

D. 2010–2011

ID: a6b2fcce Answer


Correct Answer: D

Rationale
Choice D is correct. The change in the number of 3-D movies released between any two consecutive years can be
found by first estimating the number of 3-D movies released for each of the two years and then finding the positive
difference between these two estimates. Between 2003 and 2004, this change is approximately movies;
between 2008 and 2009, this change is approximately movies; between 2009 and 2010, this change is
approximately movies; and between 2010 and 2011, this change is approximately movies.
Therefore, of the pairs of consecutive years in the choices, the greatest increase in the number of 3-D movies released
occurred during the time period between 2010 and 2011.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Between 2010 and 2011, approximately 20 more 3-D movies were released. The
change in the number of 3-D movies released between any of the other pairs of consecutive years is significantly
smaller than 20.

the mean of data set B.

Alternate approach: Data set A and data set B are both ordered from least to greatest value. Besides the first value in

ID: 9bf4c545 Answer


Correct Answer: D

Rationale
Choice D is correct. The members of the city council wanted to assess opinions of all city residents. To gather an
unbiased sample, the council should have used a random sampling design to select subjects from all city residents.
The given survey introduced a sampling bias because the 500 city residents surveyed were all dog owners. This sample
is not representative of all city residents because not all city residents are dog owners.

Choice A is incorrect because when the sampling method isn’t random, there is no guarantee that the survey results
will be reliable; hence, they cannot be generalized to the entire population. Choice B is incorrect because a larger
sample of residents who are dog owners would not correct the sampling bias. Choice C is incorrect because a survey

Choice C is correct. The weight of an object on Venus is approximately of its weight on Earth. If an object weighs

100 pounds on Earth, then the object’s weight on Venus is approximately pounds. The same object’s

weight on Jupiter is approximately of its weight on Earth; therefore, the object weighs approximately

pounds on Jupiter. The difference between the object’s weight on Jupiter and the object’s weight on
Venus is approximately pounds. Therefore, an object that weighs 100 pounds on Earth weighs 140
more pounds on Jupiter than it weighs on Venus.

Choice A is incorrect because it is the weight, in pounds, of the object on Venus. Choice B is incorrect because it is the

Choice B is correct. Let x be the number of people in the entire town that would be expected to name chocolate. Since
the sample of 50 people was selected at random, it is reasonable to expect that the proportion of people who named
chocolate as their favorite ice-cream flavor would be the same for both the sample and the town population.

Symbolically, this can be expressed as . Using cross multiplication, ; solving for x


yields 2,083. The choice closest to the value of 2,083 is choice B, 2,100.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect and may be the result of errors when setting up the proportion, solving for the
unknown, or incorrectly comparing the choices to the number of people expected to name chocolate, 2,083.

Shaquan has 7 red cards and 28 blue cards. What is the ratio of red
cards to blue cards that Shaquan has?

A. 1 to 4

B. 4 to 1

C. 1 to 7

D. 7 to 1

ID: e9841407 Answer


Correct Answer: A

Rationale
Choice A is correct. It’s given that Shaquan has 7 red cards and 28 blue cards. Therefore, the ratio of red cards to blue
cards that Shaquan has is 7 to 28. This ratio can be reduced by dividing both parts of the ratio by 7, which yields the
ratio 1 to 4.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the ratio of blue cards to red cards that Shaquan has. Choice C is incorrect and may result
from a calculation error when reducing the ratio. Choice D is incorrect. This may result from finding the ratio of blue
cards to red cards, or 28 to 7, and then making a calculation error when reducing the ratio.

C. Theresa’s speed decreased at a constant rate during the last five minutes.

D. Theresa’s speed reached its maximum during the last ten minutes.

ID: 9d88a3e3 Answer


Correct Answer: B

Rationale
Choice B is correct. Theresa’s speed was increasing from 0 to 5 minutes and from 20 to 25 minutes, which is a total of

In an experiment, a heated cup of coffee is removed from a heat source, and


the cup of coffee is then left in a room that is kept at a constant temperature.
The graph above shows the temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), of the
coffee immediately after being removed from the heat source and at 10-minute
intervals thereafter. During which of the following 10-minute intervals does the
temperature of the coffee decrease at the greatest average rate?

A. Between 0 and 10 minutes

B. Between 30 and 40 minutes

C. Between 50 and 60 minutes

D. Between 90 and 100 minutes

ID: 83272c51 Answer


Correct Answer: A

Rationale
Choice A is correct. The average rate of change in temperature of the coffee in degrees Fahrenheit per minute is
calculated by dividing the difference between two recorded temperatures by the number of minutes in the
corresponding interval of time. Since the time intervals given are all 10 minutes, the average rate of change is greatest
for the points with the greatest difference in temperature. Of the choices, the greatest difference in temperature occurs
between 0 and 10 minutes.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect and may result from misinterpreting the average rate of change from the graph.

the data in the scatterplot?

A.

B.

C.

ID: 82aaa0a1 Answer


Correct Answer: B

Rationale
Choice B is correct. The graphical model that most closely fits the data in the scatterplot is a model in which the
number of data points above and below the model are approximately balanced. Fitting a graphical model to the data
shown results in an upward-facing parabola with a y-intercept near and a vertex with an approximate x-value of
2.5. Of the given choices, only choice B gives an equation of an upward-facing parabola with a y-intercept at .
Furthermore, substituting 2.5 for x into the equation in choice B yields . This is approximately the y-value of the
vertex of the model.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. These equations don’t give a graphical model that best fits the data. At , they

ID: ebe4bde0 Answer


Correct Answer: C

Rationale

about:srcdoc Страница 174 из 198


09.10.2024, 23:45

Choice C is correct. Each point on the graph represents the elevation x, in meters, and the corresponding
measure of plant diversity y in a region of Switzerland. Therefore, the point on the graph with the greatest y-coordinate
represents the location that has the greatest measure of plant diversity in the region. The greatest y-coordinate of any
point on the graph is approximately 13,500. The x-coordinate of that point is approximately 1,250. Therefore, the
closest elevation at which the plant diversity is the greatest is 1,250 meters.

Choice A is incorrect. This value is closest to the greatest y-coordinate of any point on the graph and therefore
represents the greatest measure of plant diversity, not the elevation where the greatest measure of plant diversity
occurs. Choice B is incorrect. At an elevation of 3,000 meters the measure of plant diversity is approximately 4,000.
Because there are points on the graph with greater y-coordinates, 4,000 can’t be the greatest measure of plant diversity,
and 3,000 meters isn’t the elevation at which the greatest measure of plant diversity occurs. Choice D is incorrect. At an
elevation of 250 meters, the measure of plant diversity is approximately 11,000. Because there are points on the graph
with greater y-coordinates, 11,000 can’t be the greatest measure of plant diversity and 250 meters isn’t the elevation at
which the greatest measure of plant diversity occurs.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale
Choice B is correct. Subtracting x2 from both sides of the given equation yields x2 – 4 = 0. Adding 4 to both sides of the

solution to the original equation.

Alternative approach: Subtracting x2 from both sides of the given equation yields x2 – 4 = 0. Factoring this equation
gives x2 – 4 = (x + 2)(x – 2) = 0, such that x = 2 or x = –2. Therefore, x = 2 is one solution to the original equation.

many solutions, what is the value of a ?

A. 4

B. 9

C. 36

D. 54

ID: 4b76c7f1 Answer


Correct Answer: C

Rationale
Choice C is correct. A system of two linear equations has infinitely many solutions if one equation is equivalent to the
other. This means that when the two equations are written in the same form, each coefficient or constant in one
equation is equal to the corresponding coefficient or constant in the other equation multiplied by the same number. The
equations in the given system of equations are written in the same form, with x and y on the left-hand side of the
equation and a constant on the right-hand side of the equation. The coefficients of x and y in the second equation are
equal to the coefficients of x and y, respectively, in the first equation multiplied by 4: and . Therefore,
the constant in the second equation must be equal to 4 times the constant in the first equation: , or .

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. When , , or , the given system of equations has no solution.
