MDULO A: DATA SUFFICIENCY

Cada uma das questes do Data Sufficiency consiste de uma pergunta e duas afirmaes,
nomeadas de (1) e (2), nas quais algumas informaes so dadas. Voc tem que decidir se as
informaes dadas nestas afirmaes so suficientes para responder a pergunta. Usando estas
afirmaes mais seus conhecimentos de Matemtica, responda:
A se a informao (1) sozinha suficiente, mas a informao (2) sozinha no suficiente para
responder a pergunta
B se a informao (2) sozinha suficiente, mas a informao (1) sozinha no suficiente para
responder a pergunta
C se ambas as informaes (1) e (2) juntas so suficientes para responder a pergunta, mas
nenhuma delas sozinha suficiente
D se cada afirmao sozinha suficiente para responder a pergunta
E se as informaes (1) e (2) juntas, NO so suficientes para responder a pergunta

AS FIGURAS NO FORNECEM INFORMAES SOBRE AS MEDIDAS DE NGULOS


E LADOS
As figuras no Data Sufficiency esto de acordo com as informaes presentes na pergunta, mas
no esto necessariamente de acordo com as informaes adicionais constantes nas afirmaes
(1) e (2).
Voc pode assumir que as linhas desenhadas retas so retas e que todos os ngulos so
maiores do que zero.
Exemplo 1: Is ABCD a square?
A

(1) BD is perpendicular to AC
(2) BE = EC
E
D

LEMBRE-SE DAS FRAES, DOS NMEROS NEGATIVOS E DAS RAZES


Em todo o GMAT os nmeros so Reais at que o autor diga o contrrio. No Data Sufficiency,
em particular, esta informao no deve ser esquecida, ou seja:
Exemplo 2:: Is x < y ?
(1) y = 3x
(2) x2 = y
Luciana Chamie Desenvolvimento e Treinamento em Matemtica Tel.:3845-0226

MDULO A: DATA SUFFICIENCY


Responder uma pergunta no Data Sufficiency significa achar uma nica resposta.
Exemplo 3: What is the value of x?
(1) x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
(2) x2 2x - 8 = 0
NO PROCURE PELO SIM, PROCURE PELA CERTEZA
Para responder uma pergunta no Data Sufficiency necessrio ter certeza da resposta, seja ela
sim ou no.
Exemplo 4: Is x > 0?
(1) x2 = 9
(2) x < 1

No junte as informaes (1) e (2) antes de analisar cada uma separadamente


As informaes (1) e (2) so independentes.
Leia a (1). Se ela suficiente sua resposta poder ser A ou D
Se ela no suficiente sua resposta poder ser B ou C ou E
Em ambas as situaes, esquea-a e v ler a (2) :
Leia a (2). Se ela suficiente sua resposta ser D ou B.
Se ela no suficiente sua resposta poder ser A ou C ou E.
Apenas aps pensar em cada informao separadamente, junte-as se necessrio.
8x
and y 0 , what is the value of R?
Exemplo 5: If R =
3y
2
(1) x =
3
(2) x = 2y
RESOLVER: QUASE NUNCA
MONTAR: MUITAS VEZES
SIMPLIFICAR: SEMPRE
Voc no precisa resolver as questes do Data Sufficiency, voc no precisa achar a resposta
para a pergunta, muitas vezes voc apenas analisa a pergunta e as informaes e consegue ter
certeza de qual a alternativa correta
Exemplo 6: What is the area of the triangle above ?

MDULO A: DATA SUFFICIENCY


Entretanto, muitas vezes voc precisa montar o exerccio, as equaes, colocar algumas idias
no papel. Isto no significa que voc esteja perdendo tempo, ou que voc esteja resolvendo a
questo, mas sim , que voc est procurando a melhor forma de ACERTAR A QUESTO.
Muitas vezes quando voc escreve, a resposta salta aos olhos, voc ganhou tempo e acertou. Ao
contrrio daquele que se recusa a pegar no lpis,porque no precisa resolver e termina
perdendo mais tempo e muitas vezes errando a questo.

Exemplo 7: A pension fund invested in stock of the ABC Company and bonds of the DEF
Corporation . How much money was invested in ABC stock if the pension fund
received a total of $162000 in cash from both investments?
(1) The pension invested a total of $1 million on both investments.
(2) The stocks paid 18% in cash and the bonds paid 15%.

Exemplo 8: If x is an integer, is y an integer?


(1) The average (arithmetic mean) of x, y, and y-2 is x.
(2) The average (arithmetic mean) of x and y is not an integer.

Alm de montar, voc deve sempre simplificar tudo que estiver tanto na pergunta quanto nas
afirmaes do Data Sufficiency. As aparncias enganam muito no Data Sufficiency. Investigue,
aborde de vrias maneiras diferentes, pense fora da caixa.
Exemplo 9: Does 2m 3n = 0?
(1) m 0 .
(2) 6m = 9n.
Exemplo 10: If a, b, and c are integers, is a b + c greater than a + b c ?
(1) b is negative
(2) c is positive

Exemplo 11: What is the value of x2- y2?


(1) x + y = 2x
(2) x y = 0

MDULO A: DATA SUFFICIENCY


Exemplo 12: If xy = -6, what is the value of xy( x + y ) ?
(1) x y = 5
(2) xy2 = 18

Existem Data Sufficiency nos quais a proposta no verificar conhecimentos de matemtica,


mas sim verificar a capacidade de analisar um conjunto de dados e a partir desta anlise tirar
concluses. Nestes exerccios necessrio ir no detalhe, calcular os possveis nmeros,
experimentar, sempre com foco na pergunta.
Exemplo 13:In a certain year the United Nations total expenditure were $1.6 billion. Of this
amount, 67.8 percent was paid by the 6 highest-contributing countries, and the
balance was paid by the remaining 153 countries. Was Country X among the 6
highest-contributing countries?
(1)56 percent of the total expenditures was paid by the 4 highest-contributing
countries, each of which paid more than Country X.
(2)Country X paid 4.8 percent of the total expenditures

Exemplo 14: Of the 60 animals on a certain farm, 2/3 are either pigs or cows. How many of the
animals are cows?
(1)The farm has more than twice as many as cows as it has pigs
(2) The farm has more than 12 pigs

Exemplo 15: Max has $125 consisting of bills each worth $5 or $20. How many bills worth $5
does Max have?
(1)Max has fewer than 5 bills of $5 each
(2)Max has more than 5 bills worth $20 each

MDULO B: PROBLEM SOLVING


ESTRATGIAS FUNDAMENTAIS PARA O PROBLEM SOLVING

No h tempo suficiente para efetuar todos os clculos.


Quanto mais clculos voc fizer, mais oportunidades de cometer erros voc ter. Voc
sabe, a Matemtica cruel: uma falha pode pr tudo a perder.
O objetivo da prova no avaliar se voc faz clculos bem, mas sim, se voc tem jogo
de cintura, se responde bem sobre presso, se sabe como no deixar seu interlocutor
sem resposta, se voc objetivo e sabe reconhecer o ponto chave da questo.

1) OLHE AS ALTERNATIVAS
A resposta j est l! Voc no precisa calcul-la. uma daquelas! Perca alguns
segundos analisando-as antes de comear a resolver daquele seu bom e velho jeito.
Exemplo 1: 85% of 160 is
(A) 1.88
(B) 13.6
(C) 136
(D) 188
(E) 13600

2) Avalie a Ordem de Grandeza do Resultado


Exemplo 2: Joo foi de A a B e depois voltou de B para A pelo mesmo caminho,
gastando um total de 1 hora. Se ele foi a 6 km/h e voltou a 3km/h, qual a
distncia entre A e B?
(A) 2 km
(B) 3 km
(C) 4.5km
(D) 9km
(E) 18km

3) Calcule apenas o Final da conta

Grandezas Diretamente Proporcionais
Quando duas grandezas variam sempre na mesma razo, dizemos que essas grandezas so
diretamente proporcionais. Em outras palavras, quando uma aumenta, a outra tambm
aumenta, na mesma proporo.
Grandezas Inversamente Proporcionais
Quando duas grandezas variam sempre uma na razo inversa da outra, dizemos que essas
grandezas so inversamente proporcionais. Em outras palavras, quando uma aumenta, a outra
diminui, na mesma proporo.

PRODUTOS NOTVEIS
I) Quadrado da soma de dois termos:
(x + y)2 = (x + y)(x + y) = x2 + xy + xy + y2 = x2 + 2xy + y2
Portanto:

(x+y)2

x2

2xy

y2

O quadrado da soma de dois termos igual ao quadrado do primeiro, mais duas vezes o produto
do primeiro pelo segundo, mais o quadrado do segundo.

II) Quadrado da diferena de dois termos:


(x - y)2 = (x - y)(x - y) = x2 - xy - xy + y2 = x2 - 2xy + y2
Portanto:

(x-y)2

x2

2xy

y2

O quadrado da diferena de dois termos igual ao quadrado do primeiro, menos duas vezes o
produto do primeiro pelo segundo, mais o quadrado do segundo.

III) Produto da soma pela diferena de dois termos


(x + y) (x - y) = x x - xy + xy - y y
Portanto:

( x + y)( x - y )

x2

y2

O produto da soma pela diferena de dois termos igual ao quadrado do primeiro termo menos
o quadrado do segundo.

IV) Outros produtos notveis


( x + y)3 = x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3
( x - y) 3 = x3 - 3x2y + 3xy2 - y3

x3 + y3 = (x + y) (x2 xy + y2)
x3 - y3 = (x y) ( x2 + xy +y2)

MDULO 4 LGEBRA
FATORAO

Fatorar um polinmio significa escrever esse polinmio como uma multiplicao de


dois ou mais polinmios.
Os dois principais usos da Fatorao so a simplificao e a resoluo de equaes.
Exemplo: x2 - 2xy + y2
x2 y 2

( x y )2
(x+y)(xy)

xy
x+y

I) Fatorao colocando fator comum em evidncia


Exemplos: 2x + 2y = 2 ( x + y)

a4 - a3 + a2 = a 2 (a2 - a + 1)

x2 + xy = x ( x + y)

a2 + ax = a ( a + x )

ax2 + ax = ax ( x + 1)

a ( a - b) + x (a - b) = (a - b) ( a +x)

8x4y5 - 20x3y2 - 16x2y4 = 4x2y2 ( 2x2y3 - 5x - 4y2 )

II) Fatorao por agrupamento


Exemplos: ax + ay + bx + by = (a + b) (x + y)
mx - nx + 2m 2n = (m n) ( x + 2)
2ax + bx - 10a - 5b = ( 2a + b) ( x - 5)
kx2 + k 2x2 2 = (x2 + 1) (k 2)

III) Fatorao da Diferena de Dois Quadrados


Exemplos: x2 49 = (x 7 ) (x + 7)

x4 - 1 = (x2 + 1 ) ( x2 1)

4c2 - 9b2 = ( 2c + 3b) ( 2c 3b)

x6 - y6 = (x3 + y3 ) ( x3 - y3 )

IV) Fatorao do Trinmio Quadrado Perfeito


Exemplos: x2 + 10x + 25 = ( x + 5 )2

m4 + 4m2n + 4n2 = (m2+2n )2

x2 - 8xy + 16y2 = ( x 4y )2
