In the multi-choice problems below just circle the correct answer (s) in the test paper and write the answer in the space provided as Answer: _____________ 1. A member of the solution set of 1 x < 4 is 2 a. b. 2 4 c. d. 5 Suggested solutions: 1 x < 4 means x is larger than or equal to 1 but less than 4 . Therefore only 2 is a member of 1 x < 4 . Answer: Alternative (b) 2. Which statement is true when 1 < x < 0 ? x < x 2 < x3 a. x < x3 < x 2 b. x3 < x 2 < x c. x3 < x < x 2 d. (1/0) (1/0)
Answer: Alternative: _____________ Why? Explain in sufficient detail. (0/2) Suggested solution: 0 < x 2 < 1 1 < x < 0 x < x3 < 0 < x 2 3 1 < x < x < 0 1 < x < 0 0 < x 2 < 1 . This is due to the fact that the square of any real number is positive! On the other hand if the magnitude of the number is smaller than one, the square of the number will be a number smaller than one. On the other hand, if multiply both sides of an equality with a negative number, only the direction of the inequality reverses: 1 < x < 0 0 < x 2 < 1 0 > x 2 x > 1 x 0 > x 3 > x Answer: Alternative (b) x < x 3 < x 2

7. Find the relationship between two real positive numbers a and b such that the equation 2ax = 3b( x + 7 ) a) has the solution x = 5 . (2/0) (0/2/) b) does not have any solution. Suggested Solution: a) If x = 5 is the solution of 2ax = 3b( x + 7 ) , we may replace x by 5 in the equation which implies: 2a(5) = 3b((5) + 7 ) 10a = 3b(12 ) = 36b Answer: a = 3.6b a = 3.6b b) If the equation 2ax = 3b( x + 7 ) does not have any solution, that would mean we may not be able to find a value for x such that the left hand side of the equation is the same as the right hand side of it. Such situation may arouse if 2a = 3b . To prove the claim we may replace 2 a by 3b in the equation 2ax = 3b( x + 7 ) which will produce: 2ax = 3b( x + 7 ) 3bx = 3b(x + 7 ) x = x + 7 3 Answer: 2a = 3b a = b x = x + 7 does not have any solution! 2

12. Kevin sold two second hand cars for $10 000 each. On the first one he made 25 % , but on the second car he lost 25% . Did he loose or made money in the transaction? By how much and how many percent? Explain. (1/2) Solution: $10 000 = $8 000 A : Original price of the first car: $10 000 = 1.25 A A = 1.25 $10 000 = $13333 B : Original price of the second car: $10 000 = 0.75 B B = 0.75 Kevin had paid A + B = $8 000 + $13 333 = $21333 for the cars, but he sold them only for
$20 000 . Therefore, he lost $21333 $20 000 = $1333 in the deal. This is: $20 000 $21333 = 0.063 6% $21333

13. In a survey of 200 seniors at a high school it was found that 75 students play soccer but not softball, 45 students play softball but not soccer, and 28 students do not participate in either sport. Of the seniors surveyed, what percent play both soccer and softball? (1/2) Suggested solutions: We may draw a Venn graph using Circle A : 200 seniors Circle B : Students playing soccer Circle C : Students playing softball B From the Venn diagram illustrated we may deduce that: 75 45 C The number of students who play both soccer and football is: N BIC = 200 (75 + 45 + 28) = 200 148 = 52 N B IC 52 28 = = 0.26 = 26% N tot 200 A Answer: 26% of students play both soccer and football.
At the aspect assessment of your work with problems 9-11 the teacher will consider what mathematical knowledge you have demonstrated and how well you have carried through the task how well you have explained your work and motivated your conclusions how well you have written your solutions. This means that you use generalised methods, models and reasoning, that you analyse your results and account for a clear line of thought in a correct mathematical language.
14. Choose any arbitrary three-digit-number. Multiply the number by 7. Multiply the result by 11 and then by 13. What is the result? Repeat the procedure for any other arbitrary threedigit number. What is the result? Is there any pattern? Why? Generalize and Explain. (2/2/) Suggested solutions: Answer: I get a six-digit-number which is my number repeated twice. Ex: 123 7 11 13 = 123123 364 7 11 13 = 364 364 579 7 11 13 = 579 579 999 7 11 13 = 999 999 Reason: Assume the number I choose is abc . Due to the fact that 7 11 13 = 100 1 , when I multiply abc by 7 11 13 = 100 1 , I get 1001 abc = 1000 abc + abc . My three-digit number multiplied by 1000 looks like abc 000 and when I add to it my number: abc 000 + abc = abc abc . This is true for any 3-digit number.

15. Quadratic small tables, that has only three places for three people at each side, is arranged as a long dining table, as illustrated below:
How many persons, at the most, may be placed at a long dining table consisted of five small square table? How many small square tables are needed in order to be able to place 40 persons, at a long dining table arranged by according to the rules above? Find a formula that describes the relationship between the number of persons, p , that will be placed at a dining table arranged as above of n number of small tables. Describe your formula above in words. (2/4/)
P = 6 n + 6 = 6 (n + 1) n 2
Suggested solutions: 36 persons, at the most, may be placed at a long dining table consisted of five small square table. This is due to the fact that 9 people will be able to take a seat at each of the two corner tables, the remaining 3 tables have 6 place each: P = 2 9 + 3 6 = 36
6 small tables are needed to place 40 people around it. This is due to the fact that as mentioned above 9 people have place around each of the two corner tables. The middle tables have each a maximum of 6 places available. Therefore 4 middle tables are needed to place 24 people at them. Maximum number of seats available around the long table are 42: P = 2 9 + 4 6 = 18 + 24 = 42 Two seats will be unoccupied.
Using the logic above, we may develop a formula for P people and n , number of small tables: P = 2 9 + 6 (n 2 ) = 18 + 6n 12 = 6n + 6 = 6(n + 1) P6 P P = 6n + 6 6 n = P 6 n = = 1 P > 6 6 6

16. Arrange the following numbers in order of magnitude without the aid of a calculator: 25165 , 6455 , 64110 , 24366 . (2/2/)
Suggested solutions: In order to compare numbers in exponent form either we should find a maximum common exponent, MCE, to all of them and then compare the bases of the numbers, or find a maximum common base and compare the exponents of the numbers with each other. In this case we may choose a maximum common exponent. In the first glance we may assume that the MCE of the numbers 55, 66, 110, and 165 is 11, which is fine, but we may rewrite the numbers and try to get the smallest possible integer base for each number using the prime factors of the exponents, and lowest base, as follows:
( ) 64 = (2 ) 64 = (2 ) 243 = (3 )
25165 = 52
55 110 66
165
= 523511 using 25 = 52 and 165 = 3 5 11 = 2 23511 using 64 = 2 6 and 55 = 5 11 = 2 223511 = 4 23511 using 64 = 2 6 , 2 2 = 4 and 110 = 2 5 11 = 323511 using 243 = 35 , and 66 = 2 3 11
6 511
6 2511 5 2311
It is clear that 2 3 5 7 = 330 is the maximum common exponent, MCE of the numbers above. Therefore, we may rearrange the numbers above, changing the base of each exponent, and keeping the common power of each as 330:
( ) = (3 ) = (2 ) = (5 )
511
5 2311
6 2511
2 165
= 5 23511 = 5330
