From the diagram above, find the required roots/region of x.

A.

x\(\leq\)-1, x \(\geq\)4

B.

x\(\leq\)4

C.

-1\(\leq\)x\(\leq\)4

D.

x\(\leq\)-1, o\(\leq\)x\(\leq\)4

Correct answer is C

The required roots/region of x is -1\(\leq\)x\(\leq\)4

From the diagram above. Find the fraction of the shaded position?

A.

\(\frac{1}{3}\)

B.

\(\frac{1}{5}\)

C.

\(\frac{1}{4}\)

D.

\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Correct answer is D

\(\theta\) = 180o -(90 + 60)
\(\theta\) = 180o - 150o = 30o

Fraction of shaded position = \(\frac{30}{360}\) + \(\frac{30}{360}\)

= \(\frac{1}{12}\) + \(\frac{1}{12}\) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Determine the mean score of the student that took the mathematics test?

A.

4.5

B.

4.3

C.

4.2

D.

4.6

Correct answer is C

(3 x 0) + (1 x 2) + (5 x 2) + (5 x 3) + (5 x 4) +
(10 x 5) + (4 x 6) + (3 x 7) + (1 x 8) + (2 x 9) \(\div\) 40

= \(\frac{168}{40}\) = 4.2

Rationalize \(\frac{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{4}}\)

A.

5 + 2 \(\sqrt{6}\)

B.

5 - 4 \(\sqrt{6}\)

C.

5 + 4 \(\sqrt{6}\)

D.

5 - 2 \(\sqrt{6}\)

Correct answer is D

\(\frac{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{4}}\) = \(\frac{6-2\sqrt{6} - 2\sqrt{6} + 4}{6 - 4}\)

\(\frac{10 - 4\sqrt{6}}{2}\) = 5 - 2\(\sqrt{6}\)
