1. Find the remainder when a — 2a + 5is divided by x+2. Solution: This can be done in many ways. But | prefer to use substitution. Let (2) = 24 — 22 +5, then £(-2) is the remainder. f(x) = 28-20 +5 J(-2) = (2-2-2) +5 The answer is 1. 2, Find the exact radian measure of 330°Solution: we need to know that mrad = 180°, hence BO x Lm aur = 3. Find the domain of f(x) = logy — 4) Solution: To answer the question, take note that in order for logarithmic curve to exist, in its form ¥ = log,a, b>1 and a0. Going back to our problem, the base Is fine since Its 4. We just have to focus on x-4, Since it must be posi The domain is (x|x>4} or (4,42) 4. Find the 12th term of an arithmetic series whose first term is 8 and third term is2. Solution: Observe that the progression is decreasing and there is one term between 2 and 8, With the 15-second cramming fever | guess we don't havemuch time to use the series to tind the common difference. Just observe the following numbers. 8, x, 2,.... What do you think is the number between them to make it an arithmetic series? yes! it is 5. Therefore, the common difference is -3. Solving for 12th term: a, =a,+(n—1)d ai =8+(12-1)-3 ay = 8-33 ay = -25 Therefore, the 12th term Is -25. Mw ue 3 wy tT” 10reciprocal OT 4 to attain sucn condition. | nus, a=-1/3. 9, The parabola y = 8? ~ 8 ~ 4 passes through the point (1,b), Find b. Solution: if (1,b) is on the graph of the equation, it must satisfy the equation. Thus, by simple substitution, we can solve for the value of b. y= 3x? — bn —4 # = 3(1) - 5(1) 4 10. Suppose u varies directly as the square root of v. If u=3 when v=4, find u when v=10, Solution: If we know already that this is a direct variation, we can just use ratio and proportion as follows.7. Find the x-intercept of the ine y= Ta — 4 Solution: x-intercept is @ point at which the given line Intersects the x-axis. Thus, by letting y=0, we can get the value of x-intercept. $latex y=7x-4$ O=Te-4 Therefore the x-intercept is 4/7. 8. Find a so that the line y = ax —2|s perpendicular to a line with slope 3. Solution: This problem can be solved quickly if we know that the product of the slope of perpendicular lines is equal to -1. So the value of ais the negative5, Find the vertex of the parabolay=—(r +4 +8 Solution: in the vertex form of parabola v = a(« — A)? + &, the vertex Is at (hk). Therefore, in y=—(7 +3? +8, the vertex is at (3,8), don't get confused with the negative sign. It is just telling us that the graph is opening downward. 6. Determine all x In so that the ordered pairs (1,3), (2,1), and (x3) are on the graph of the function Solution: first to think is that a function passed the vertical line test. This means that there should be no the same values for the x-coordinates. If x=1, the point will become (1,3) which is the same as the first point. We can still consider the points are on the graph of a function If x=2, the set of points will become (1,3), (2.1), and (2,3). Points (2,1) and (2,3) form a vertical line making the graph to not pass the vertical line test. But the question here is to determine all x so that the ordered pairs are on the graph of the function. The answer here are all real numbers except 2 or 7 #2. 1. When | opened my Math book, the sum of the page number facing me Nas 17. What was the page number on the left side? Solution: Think of two consecutive numberswhose sum is 17. That is 8 and 9. 9 on the right and § on the left. Thus, @ is the answer, 2. Express the product of 400 x 100 In terms of scientific notation. Solution: We factor 400 as 4*100 and capy another 100, 4 x 100 x 100 = 4 x 10! Since every 100 has 2 zeroes. 3, By how much does 1/2 of 100 exceed 1/4 of 407 Solution: a 2 100-240 50-1940 4, For what values of x Is x+4<17 Solutio 5. Expand the expression (* + 2? Solution: The quickest way to solve the problem is to take note that (a+b) = 02+ 2ab+ (w+ 2) = 22 + 2(0)(2) +2 (r+2? =r? 4444 6. What Is the sum of the first wo prime numbers? Solution: A prime number is a number who has no divisors other than 1 and itself. Like 11, 73, te. The first wo prime number however is 2 and 3. Giving a sum of 5. 7. Ana has a piece of paper 5 cm by 3 cm. What is the area of the square that can be cut from It? Solution: The largest square that can be cut from the rectagular paper Is a 3 by 3 square. hence, the area Is 3*3=9 sq.cm. 8. When 2 is multiplied to the sum of 2 and a number, the result is 10. What is the number? Solution: Form an equation relating the given. Let x be the number, 2 +2)a3 9. How many 2-cigit multiples of S are there? Solution: 95/5 = 19. In 19 multiples, 1 of them is 5. The rest multiples ranging from 10 to 95, Thus, the answer is 18. 10. Amap of a small town Is scaled 1 crm: 100 m, If two actual locations are 200 m apart, how many centimeters apart are these locations on the map? Solution: use ration and proportion. In every hundred, the distance on the map on the paper Is 1 cm. Since there were 2 hundreds, there were a total of 2 cm distance. The remaining questions will be added this evening.

What is the midpoint of segment ate, PQ if P has coordinates (0,7) and Q Im = z 2 has (4,1)? 044 me Solution: m= ; Using the midpoint formula, we have, 5 Bn For coordinate of x: For coordinate of y:Un = Therefore, the midpoint is (2,4) 2. Inthe sequence 2.1, 2.15, 2.2, 2.25,..., what is the next term? Solution: By observing the pattern, the succeding term can be solved by adding 0.05 to the next term. Hence, the next term must be 2.25+0.05=2.3 3. Rica bought a shirt on sales at 20% discount, and paid 112 for it. How much was the tshirt without the discount? Solution: The amount paid can be solved using the formula. PP=OP(1-r) Where PP is the paid price, OP is the original price, and r is the percent discount is decimal. Using the formula in the problem we have, PP=OP(1-r) 112-OP(1-0.2) 112=OP*0.8 Therefore the price without the discount Is 140. 4, Steve sold 20 mangoes and 16 oranges, and he earned Php 488 from both fruits. if each oranges cost Php 8, how much does a mango cost? Solution Let x be the cost of mangos and y be the price of oranges. 488 js the total price of 20 mangoes and 16 oranges, thus, 20x+1 6y=488, but y=8 20x+16(8)=488 20x+128=488 20x = 488-128 20x = 360 8 Therefore, each mango cost Php 18. 5, SABC is right angle at B. The bisector of ZA meets BC at D. If ZO = 54" what is ZBAD? Solution: Draw the figure.5, AABC Is right angle at 8, The bisector of ZA meets BC at D. If 20 = 54", what is £BAD? Solution: Draw the figure. Solve for Za: A+8+C=180 A+90+54=180 At144=180 A=180-144 A=36 Since AD bisects angle A. we have, ZBAD =0.5(2A) ZBAD = 05(36) 2BAD = 18°
