Problem 1
First let's find the radius, which should be half of the diagonal
d .
Now let's subtract the area of the circle by the area of the square.
That's it.
Takeaway: Don't miss the trees for the forest.
Problem 2
I drew it up
: )
Takeaway: Take your time to read the actual question and not fumble the symbols like me!
Subproblem 2.1
AQ=12
True.
Subproblem 2.2
AB=30
True.
Subproblem 2.3
BS=18
False.
Subproblem 2.4
PC∶CR=1∶2 Just by observation, one can guess that
PC is half ofAB
Then, let's find
PR
Correct.
Subproblem 2.5
PC:CR=2∶3 No. We just disproved this.
Problem 3
This isn't solvable. Where are the annotations
Maybe don't make graphics using Office. Could the government maybe use actual creative software, like Photoshop, PAINT.NET, or Affinity? Is all that really out of their budget of corruption? Sorry, it's probably the job of some underpaid teacher. Fuck efficiency and the education budget cuts.?Okay I found the annotated version, along with the answers
Problem 4
Tough problem which I didn't solve at first glance.
Let
C be the circumference. Also, leta be the middle element andb the difference.
We know that one of the sides must be
36 Let's use pythagoras' theorem to solve for the rest.
Of course, the hypotenuse is always the longest side.
Hey, now we know the sides are
27 36 45 Knowing the height and width, we can now find the area.
Easy.
Takeaway: The solution isn't always obvious
Problem 5
We can clearly see that the difference
b is50000 and the starting value is100000
But remember that we need to subtract 2 million.
That's option (C)
Takeaway: Honestly, you should be skipping problems like these if they're not trivial.
Problem 6
Takeaway: Honestly, you should be skipping problems like these if they're not trivial.
Subproblem 6.1
b=50000 Yeah, we found that
b=50000 earlier.
Subproblem 6.2
(S_12)=4500000
Correct.
Subproblem 6.3
(S_14)-2000000=2750000
False.
Problem 7
Takeaway: In the actual exam, problems like these are either timewasters or free points. Tread carefully.
Subproblem 7.1
(U_12)=650000
True.
Subproblem 7.2
(U_24)-(U_12)=600000 True, as every year the difference goes up
12⋅50000=600000
Subproblem 7.3
(S_31)-4000000=26350000
Oh look, that's correct?
No, we need to subtract
4000000 as2 years have passed.
So, the statement is false.
Subproblem 7.4
In July
2025 ,4000000 will have been taken out from the account.Yes. Because
2 years have passed.
Subproblem 7.5
(S_32)=1750000 Clearly false. That number is too small!
Problem 8
Already hate this problem.
Here's a tip: Use
a*b*c instead ofx*y*z to minimize mistakes confusingz and2
You do the menial work. Calculate all of the options. I'm not writing all that.
Takeaway: Either do these easy but tedious problems first or last to preserve your momentum.
Problem 9
Takeaway: Nothing. This is trivial.
Subproblem 9.1
The seller can only sell
350 of type2 cakesClearly false. Here's why:
That's less than
350
Subproblem 9.2
Maximum profits are gained when the seller sells
250 cakes of the first typeThere are always
3 options: Sell only type1 , sell only type2 , or sell a mix of both.
The case where you only sell the first type. Take the smallest
x
The case where you only sell the second type. Take the smallest
y
The case where you sell a mix of both.
The second statement is false, actually!
Subproblem 9.3
Maximum profit is
475000 Yeah, we just calculated it.
Problem 10
Try optimizing for
x
Try optimizing for
y
Try optimizing for
x andy
So, the ideal profit is
1340000 Takeaway: This is trivial. Nothing more to say.
Problem 11
Takeaway: Check and recheck your results and process.
Subproblem 11.1
(-2,-8) is onƒ(x)
The statement is false.
Subproblem 11.2
The axis of symmetry is at
x=3
The statement is true.
Subproblem 11.3
ƒ(x) intersects with(0,-8)
The statement is true.
Subproblem 11.4
The range of
ƒ(x) is-48≤y≤0 Let's test for
y atx=-4,3,4
No, the range is
-48≤y≤1
Subproblem 11.5
The domain where
ƒ(x)>0 is-4≤x<2 We know this is wrong because the roots of the function are
4 and2, not-4 and2 I don't know why it's marked as correct.
Problem 12
I don't like doing algebra, so let's find the line directly via creating a line connecting the two points.
That's the slope/gradient.
Plug in one point to find the
c
Liar.
a+b=1+3=4 Correct
c=0 Correct
(0,-6) doesn't intersect as the line intersects the origin point(0,0) .⊥ Takeaway: Sometimes the best solution is the easiest solution.
Problem 13
I wouldn't actually find the composed functions themselves, as I'm lazy.
Divisible by
5
Not divisible by
5
Not divisible by
5
Not divisible by
5
Divisible by
5 Takeaway: Don't overcomplicate the problem.
Problem 14
There's probably some easier way to do this, but I'll do it the hard way to confirm.
Yay.
Takeaway: If you don't know the easy solution, try the hard solution.
Problem 15
I decided to do this problem because it's fun
: )
Not equals because you can't have
0 as divisor
So, take the union.
Yay!
Takeaway: Domain and range problems are trivial if you know your theory.
Problem 16
Subproblem 16.1
1 of wheat will generate690 of flour
Subproblem 16.2
100 of wheat will generate150 of flour
Problem 18
This problem is trivial.
You can do the first statement in your head.
Trivial if you know that mirroring by
y=-x just swapsx andy while also flipping their signs.Easy if you know the formula.
Easy if you know the formula
Solving
4 also solves5
Problem 22
This problem infuriated me at first. But, it's actually exteremely easy. Just scale the graph.
Let
T be the total population,s the total students of some percentagep
We know that:
Let's substitute that.
The problem needs
s for whateverp we're testing to be≥40
We have an excellent helper function here, where we can input
p as the percentage, and we can test if that percentage of the population has more than40 students. All that's next is testing each subproblem. Neat!Takeaway: Simplify the problem.
Problem 23
Real easy. I misread at first.
3⋅10⋅9⋅8⋅5⋅4=43200 3⋅1⋅5⋅4=60 3⋅1⋅8⋅5⋅4=480
Takeaway: Focus.
Problem 24
That means there's
40/100⋅80=32 people in the intersectionThere's
80-32=48 in the just SMA regionThere's
40-32=8 in the just work regionIn total, there's
32+48+8=88 Which leaves
100-88=12 left
Problem 25
4/5⋅2/3=8/15
4/5⋅1/3+1/5⋅2/3=2/5
1/5⋅1/3=1/15
