An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the difference between any two consecutive terms is the same. In our problem the common difference is d ! 3 . The sum of the members of a finite arithmetic progression is called an arithmetic series To find the sum of a finite arithmetic series, you need to know three things. The first term ?a1 A, the last term ?a n Aand the number of terms ?nAand use the formula .
a an Sn ! n 1 2
In 12 15 18 - 1002 , a1 ! 12 , a n ! 1002 , to get the value of n use the formula for the n th term of arithmetic sequence which is a n ! a1 n 1 d
a n ! a1 n 1 d
1002 ! 12 n 1 3 990 ! 3 n 1 330 ! n 1 n ! 331

MATHEMATICS (30 ITEMS)

decimal point? (A) 5 (B) 6 (C) 7 (D) 9

6. If x 1 ! 3 1  4 1 , what is the value of x? (A)

10. What is the simplified improper fraction for 4 . 8 48 ? (A)

16. What is the slope of the line (A) 

18. The lines y ! x and y !

 x  9 form a triangle in the first quadrant with the y2

19. Simplify the expression x

20. If 4 x  4 x 1 ! 24 , then the value of 2 x x is (A) 4 2 (B) 12 2 (C) 10 5 (D) 25 5

25. Determine the solution of the following equation.

30. A certain number was to be added to

1 1 but by mistake was divided by the 2 2

decimal point? (A) 5 Solution:

2 25 v 3 3 50 5 ! 5 ! 5.55555 - repeating decimal 9 9

The 10th digit after the decimal point is 5.

Therefore in x 2  4  6k x  k 2 ! 0 Sum of roots = 6k  4

We now solve for the value of k using the following equation

6. If x 1 ! 3 1  4 1 , what is the value of x? (A)

(To get the slope of 3 y ! 2 x  5 express it in the form y ! mx  b the result is

We use the point-slope form of the equation of the line

(A) 1892 Solution:

The most realistic answer

10. What is the simplified improper fraction for 4 . 8 48 ? (A)

Therefore, 100 x  x ! 484.8484 -  4.8484 99 x ! 480

because r ! 5 is not feasible it has to be r ! 17

13. Evaluate the following sum:

(A) 139,659 Solution:

1002 ! 12  n  1 3 990 ! 3 n  1 330 ! n  1 n ! 331

Therefore three times the sum of x and y is 3 x  y ! 3 30 ! 90 .

16. What is the slope of the line (A) 

Solution: In y ! mx  b , m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. Express

,Multiply both sides by 6

2x  3y ! 6 3 y ! 2 x  6 y! m !2 2 x2 3

Solution: Let x be a positive number.

18. The lines y ! x and y !

 x  9 form a triangle in the first quadrant with the y2

19. Simplify the expression (A)

Use the Law of exponent for power

Use again the Law of Exponent for power

Use the Law of Exponent for product

20. If 4 x  4 x 1 ! 24 , then the value of 2 x x is (A) 4 2 (B) 12 2 (C) 10 5 (D) 25 5 Solution:

4x 4  ! 24 , Multiply both sides by 4 we have, 4

Recall: The vertex of the parabola y ! a x  h 2  k is h, k .

25. Determine the solution of the following equation.

12 miles below the x-axis

First we get the slope of AB using the formula

The slope of the line perpendicular to AB is the negative reciprocal of 6 7 which is

Next we get the midpoint of AB using the formula

transpose -5 to the right

7 3 distribute  7 6 y !  x   5, 6 2 7 21 y ! x 5 6 12 7 7 y !  x 5 6 4 7 27 y ! x , already in the form y ! mx  b, where b is the y6 4

y-intercept = 27/4 or 6.75

Solution: Let x be the first term of the geometric sequence

30. A certain number was to be added to

1 1 but by mistake was divided by the 2 2
