11. When f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 4) + 4 is divided by (x-k), the remainder is k.
Find K
Sol.
f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 4) + 4
f(k) = (k + 3)(k - 4) + 4
f(k) = k ^ 2 - 4k + 3k - 12 + 4
f(k) = k ^ 2 - 2k - 8
k ^ 2 - 2k - 8 = 0
(k + 2)(k - 4) = 0
k₁ = -2,
Answer. k2 = 4
12. Ten years ago, Bruce was four times as old as Clark. Now he is twice as old as Clark. How old is
Bruce?
Sol.
B - 10 = 4(C - 10) , B = 2C.
(2C - 10) = 4(C - 10)
2C - 10 = 4C - 40
40 - 10 = 4C - 2C,
30 = 2C.
C = 30 / 2 = 15.
B = 2C = 2 * 15 = 30
13. Solve for x - 5(3 - 2x) > 10
14. If log of x to the base 2 plus log of 2 to the base x is equal to 2, find the value of x.
Question 14: If log of x to the base 2 plus log of 2 to the base x is equal to 2, find the value of x.
Log_2(x) + log_x(2) = 2
log_x(2) as 1 / (log_2(x)) : log_2(x) + 1 / (log_2(x)) = 2
Let y = log_2(x) y + 1 / y = 2
y: y ^ 2 + 1 = 2y
y ^ 2 - 2y + 1 = 0
(y - 1) ^ 2 = 0
for y: y = 1
8 x: log_2(x) = 1 -> x = 2
Answer: x = 2

32. Dried banana sell for P 80 per kilo and dried mango sell for P 100 per kilo. How many kilos of
mangoes should be mixed 10 kilos of bananas to get a mixture that sells for P95 per kilo "
total cost of the bananas is 10 * 80 = 800 pesos.
total cost of the mangoes is 100x pesos.
total cost of the mixture is 800 + 100x pesos.
The average price per kilo of the mixture is 800 + 100x 10+ x 95.
for x: 800 + 100x = 950 + 95x, which gives 5x = 150, so x = 30.

The sum of the roots is a + β = - k/8.
product of the roots is aẞ = -15/8.
a = 3/4, we have (34)ẞ = -15/8.
for ẞ, we get ẞ = -15/8 * (4/3) = -5/2.
= (- k) / 8 we get 3/4 + (- 5/2) = (- k) / 8
- 7/4 = (- k) / 8
for k, we get k = 14

37. Louie was twice as old as Lor was when Louie was as old as Lor is now. If Louie is 12 years old, how
old is Lor?
2 Louie's current age is 12.
When L was L years old, Lor was L - (12 - L) = 2L - 12 years old.
Louie was twice as old as Lor, so L = 2(2L - 12)
for L / L = 4L - 24 which gives 3L = 24 so L = 8
Answer: d. 8

11. When f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 4) + 4 is divided by (x-k), the remainder is k.

B - 10 = 4(C - 10) , B = 2C.

(2C - 10) = 4(C - 10)

log_x(2) as 1 / (log_2(x)) : log_2(x) + 1 / (log_2(x)) = 2

Count the digits: 10.097 has 5 significant figures

200 + 500 + 50 + 1 = 751

20. What is the HCF of 12 and 15

sqrt (xy)/((xy) ^ (1/3))

√(x * y ^ (1 - 1/3) * x ^ (1 - 1/3)) = √(x ^ (2/3) * y ^ (2/3)) .

(x ^ (2/3) * y ^ (2/3)) ^ (1/2) = x ^ (1/3) * y ^ (1/3) = root(xy, 3) .

root((1/36) ^ (- 5/2), 5) = (1/36) ^ (- 1/2) = 6 .

f(f(3)) = f(15) = 15 ^ 2 + 2(15) = 22

g(2) = e ^ 2 + ln(2) \ 7.389 + 0.693

12/10 = 6/5 = (2 * 3)/5 .

log(1.2) = log((2 * 3)/5) =log 2+log

log(10) = log(2 * 5) = log(2) + log(5) = , we have log(5) = 1 - log(2) = 1 - x .

total cost of the bananas is 10 * 80 = 800 pesos.

total cost of the mangoes is 100x pesos.

total cost of the mixture is 800 + 100x pesos.

for x: 800 + 100x = 950 + 95x, which gives 5x = 150, so x = 30.

Joe's rate is 1/3 car per hour.

Their combined rate is (1/2) + (1/3) = 5/6 car per hour.

Answer: d. 1.2 hrs

The sum of the roots is a + β = - k/8.

product of the roots is aẞ = -15/8.

a = 3/4, we have (34)ẞ = -15/8.

for ẞ, we get ẞ = -15/8 * (4/3) = -5/2.

= (- k) / 8 we get 3/4 + (- 5/2) = (- k) / 8

consumption is 15 kg / (7 dogs * 3 days) = 5/7 kg per dog-day.

2 Louie's current age is 12.

When L was L years old, Lor was L - (12 - L) = 2L - 12 years old.

Louie was twice as old as Lor, so L = 2(2L - 12)

for L / L = 4L - 24 which gives 3L = 24 so L = 8

sum of the digits is u + 2(u + 4)+ (u + 4) = 12

H digit is 4, the tens digit is 8, the units digit is 0.

Step 1.Given log10 m = 1 2

Use log prop. log10(10m²) = log10 10 + log10 m²

log10 m 1+2()=1+1=2. 1+2(5) 1 2 we get
