B. The team has been moving about 4.8 tons of cargo per hour.
C. The team has been moving about 25 tons of cargo per hour.
D. The team started with 120 tons of cargo to move.
ID: 620fe971 Answer

Correct Answer: A
Rationale
Choice A is correct. The x-intercept of the line with equation y = 120 – 25x can be found by substituting 0 for y and finding
the value of x. When y = 0, x = 4.8, so the x-intercept is at (4.8, 0). Since y represents the number of tons of cargo remaining

According to data provided by the US Department of Energy, the average price per gallon of regular gasoline in the
United States from September 1, 2014, to December 1, 2014, is modeled by the function F defined below, where is
the average price per gallon x months after September 1.
The constant 2.74 in this function estimates which of the following?
A. The average monthly decrease in the price per gallon
B. The difference in the average price per gallon from September 1, 2014, to December 1, 2014
C. The average price per gallon on September 1, 2014
D. The average price per gallon on December 1, 2014
ID: af2ba762 Answer

Correct Answer: D
Rationale
Choice D is correct. Since 2.74 is a constant term, it represents an actual price of gas rather than a measure of change in gas
price. To determine what gas price it represents, find x such that F(x) = 2.74, or 2.74 = 2.74 – 0.19(x – 3). Subtracting 2.74
from both sides gives 0 = –0.19(x – 3). Dividing both sides by –0.19 results in 0 = x – 3, or x = 3. Therefore, the average price
of gas is $2.74 per gallon 3 months after September 1, 2014, which is December 1, 2014.
Choice A is incorrect. Since 2.74 is a constant, not a multiple of x, it cannot represent a rate of change in price. Choice B is
incorrect. The difference in the average price from September 1, 2014, to December 1, 2014, is F(3) – F(0) = 2.74 – 0.19(3 –
3) – (2.74 – 0.19(0 – 3)) = 2.74 – (2.74 + 0.57) = –0.57, which is not 2.74. Choice C is incorrect. The average price per gallon
on September 1, 2014, is F(0) = 2.74 – 0.19(0 – 3) = 2.74 + 0.57 = 3.31, which is not 2.74.

Which of the following could define the relationship between s and P ?
A.
B.
C.

Based on the article, how many hours should the adult hike to use a total of
1,900 calories from bicycling and hiking?
A. 9.5
B. 8.75
C. 6
D. 4
ID: 431c3038 Answer

Correct Answer: D
Rationale
Choice D is correct. Since a 160-pound adult uses 200 calories for every 30 minutes of hiking, then the same adult uses
calories after hiking for h 30-minute periods. Similarly, the same adult uses calories after bicycling for b 30-
minute periods. Therefore, the equation represents the situation where a 160-pound adult uses a
total of 1,900 calories from hiking for h 30-minute periods and bicycling for b 30-minute periods. It’s given that the adult
completes 1 hour, or 2 30-minute periods, of bicycling. Substituting 2 for b in the equation yields
, or . Subtracting 300 from both sides of this equation yields .
Dividing both sides by 200 yields . Since h represents the number of 30-minute periods spent hiking and there are 2 30-
minute periods in every hour, it follows that the adult will need to hike for , or 4 hours to use a total of 1,900 calories from
bicycling and hiking.
Choice A is incorrect and may result from solving the equation . This represents 0 30-minute periods bicycling
instead of 2. Choice B is incorrect and may result from solving the equation . This represents 1 30-
minute period of bicycling instead of 2. Choice C is incorrect. This may result from determining that the number of 30-minute
periods the adult should hike is 8, but then subtracting 2 from 8, rather than dividing 8 by 2, to find the number of hours the
adult should hike.

Characteristics for Rock Types

Weight per volume Cost per
Rock type 3
(lb/ft ) pound
Basalt 180 $0.18
Granite 165 $0.09
Limestone 120 $0.03
Sandstone 135 $0.22
A city is planning to build a rock retaining wall, a monument, and a garden in a

park. The table above shows four rock types that will be considered for use in the
project. Also shown for each rock type is its weight per volume, in pounds per
cubic foot (lb/ft3), and the cost per pound, in dollars. Only basalt, granite, and
limestone will be used in the garden. The rocks in the garden will have a total
weight of 1,000 pounds. If 330 pounds of granite is used, which of the following
equations could show the relationship between the amounts, x and y, in ft3, for
each of the other rock types used?
A.
B.
C.
D.
ID: 28c2253f Answer

Correct Answer: C
Rationale
Choice C is correct. It’s given that the weight of the granite used in the garden is 330 pounds. The weight of the limestone
used in the garden is a product of its weight per volume, in lb/ft3, and its volume, in ft3. Therefore, the weight of the
limestone used in the garden can be represented by , where x is the volume, in ft3, of the limestone used. Similarly, the
weight of the basalt used in the garden can be represented by , where y is the volume, in ft3, of the basalt used. It’s
given that the total weight of the rocks used in the garden will be 1,000 pounds. Thus, the sum of the weights of the three
rock types used is 1,000 pounds, which can be represented by the equation . Subtracting 330
from both sides of this equation yields .
Choice A is incorrect. This equation uses the weight per volume of granite instead of limestone. Choice B is incorrect. This
equation uses the weight per volume of granite instead of basalt, and doesn’t take into account the 330 pounds of granite
that will be used in the garden. Choice D is incorrect. This equation doesn’t take into account the 330 pounds of granite that
will be used in the garden.

worked at the two jobs to earn s dollars. What is the value of s ?
A. 128
B. 160
C. 200
D. 320
ID: c4ea43ef Answer

Correct Answer: B
Rationale
Choice B is correct. Avery earns $10 per hour working at job A. Therefore, if she works a hours at job A, she will earn
dollars. Avery earns $20 per hour working at job B. Therefore, if she works b hours at job B, she will earn dollars. The
graph shown represents all possible combinations of the number of hours Avery could have worked at the two jobs to earn s
dollars. Therefore, if she worked a hours at job A, worked b hours at job B, and earned s dollars from both jobs, the following
equation represents the graph: , where s is a constant. Identifying any point from the graph and
substituting the values of the coordinates for a and b, respectively, in this equation yield the value of s. For example, the point
, where and , lies on the graph. Substituting 16 for a and 0 for b in the equation yields
, or . Similarly, the point , where and , lies on the graph. Substituting 0 for a and
8 for b in the equation yields , or .
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. If the value of s is 128, 200, or 320, then no points on the graph will satisfy this
equation. For example, if the value of s is 128 (choice A), then the equation becomes .

Rationale
Choice C is correct. It’s given that for each point on the graph of the given equation, the x-coordinate represents the
number of seconds after Sheila applied the brakes, and the y-coordinate represents the speed of Sheila’s bicycle at that
moment in time. For the graph of the equation, the y-coordinate of the x-intercept is 0. Therefore, the x-coordinate of the x-
intercept of the graph of the given equation represents the number of seconds it took from the time Sheila began applying
the brakes until the bicycle came to a complete stop.
Choice A is incorrect. The speed of Sheila’s bicycle before she applied the brakes is represented by the y-coordinate of the y-
intercept of the graph of the given equation, not the x-coordinate of the x-intercept. Choice B is incorrect. The number of feet
per second the speed of Sheila’s bicycle decreased each second after Sheila applied the brakes is represented by the slope
of the graph of the given equation, not the x-coordinate of the x-intercept. Choice D is incorrect and may result from
misinterpreting x as the distance, in feet, traveled after applying the brakes, rather than the time, in seconds, after applying
the brakes.

The table above shows the population of Greenleaf, Idaho, for the years 2000 and 2010. If the relationship between
population and year is linear, which of the following functions P models the population of Greenleaf t years after 2000?
A.
B.
C.
D.
ID: 41fdc0b8 Answer

Correct Answer: A
Rationale
Choice A is correct. It is given that the relationship between population and year is linear; therefore, the function that models
the population t years after 2000 is of the form , where m is the slope and b is the population when . In
the year 2000, . Therefore, . The slope is given by .

Therefore, , which is equivalent to the equation in choice A.
Choice B is incorrect and may be the result of incorrectly calculating the slope as just the change in the value of P. Choice C
is incorrect and may be the result of the same error as in choice B, in addition to incorrectly using t to represent the year,
instead of the number of years after 2000. Choice D is incorrect and may be the result of incorrectly using t to represent the
year instead of the number of years after 2000.
