Module 11 Answers

1. Correct Answer Explanation: D) First, subtract the weight of the wagon from the
total weight the train can haul, which gives 22500 pounds. Then, divide this by the
weight of each good (200 pounds) to find out how many goods can be hauled. This
gives 112.5, but since we can’t have half a good, we round down to 112 goods.

2. Correct Answer Explanation: 5: The distance in miles is found by dividing the

26400f eet
total distance hiked in feet by the number of feet in a mile. So, 5280f eet/mile
= 5miles.

3. Correct Answer Explanation: B) Substitute x = 0 into the function to get t(0) =

450(0.45)0 . Any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so t(0) = 450 × 1 = 450.

4. Correct Answer Explanation: 5334: Setting up the system of equations F = 4A

and F = A + 16000 and substituting the first into the second gives 4A = A + 16000.
Solving for A gives A = 16000
3
, which is approximately 5333.33. Since the number of
people cannot be a fraction, we round up to the nearest whole number to get A = 5334.

5. Correct Answer Explanation: D) The problem ’120 is t% greater than 40’ can be
t
translated to the equation 40+ 100 ×40 = 120. Solving this equation for t gives t = 200.

6. Correct Answer Explanation: A) Substitute e from the second equation into the
first equation to get 7f + f = 34. Simplify the equation to get 8f = 34. Divide both
sides by 8 to get f = 348
= 4.25. Substitute f = 4.25 into the second equation to get
e = 7×4.25 = 29.75. So, the solution to the system of equations is (e, f ) = (29.75, 4.25).

7. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The percentage of 60 out of 200 is calculated by

dividing 60 by 200 and then multiplying the result by 100. This gives us 30%.

8. Correct Answer Explanation: D) Substitute b = 15 into the equation to get 6a +

45 = 90. Subtract 45 from both sides to get 6a = 45. Finally, divide both sides by 6
to get a = 7.5.

9. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The slope of a line is given by the coefficient of

x in the equation of the line. In the equation p(x) = 4x − 1, the coefficient of x is
4. Therefore, the slope of the line y = p(x) is 4. Since line m is parallel to the line
y = p(x), it must have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of line m is also 4.

10. Correct Answer Explanation: B) For a quadratic equation to have no real roots,
its discriminant must be less than zero. In this case, the discriminant is k 2 − 2500.
Solving the inequality k 2 − 2500 < 0 gives k < 50. Since k is a positive integer, the
highest possible value of k is 49.

11. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The absolute value of a number is its distance
from zero on the number line. Therefore, |w−4| = 15 means that w−4 is either 15 units
away from zero in the positive direction or 15 units away in the negative direction. This
gives us two possible equations: w − 4 = 15 and w − 4 = −15. Solving these equations
gives us w = 19 and w = −11. Therefore, one possible value for w is 19.

12. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The original price of one jacket can be found by
setting up the equation 7x−35 = 28, where x is the original price of one jacket. Adding
35 to both sides gives 7x = 63. Dividing both sides by 7 gives x = 9, so the original
price of one jacket was $9.

13. Correct Answer Explanation: D) The general form of the equation of a circle is
(x − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r2 , where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the √ radius.
In the given equation, the center of circle O is at (0, 8) and the radius is 64 = 8
units. If we shift the circle 8 units upwards, the y-coordinate of the center will increase
by 8, making the new center (0, 16). Therefore, the equation of the new circle P is
(x − 0)2 + (y − 16)2 = 64, which simplifies to x2 + (y − 16)2 = 64.

14. Correct
√ Answer Explanation: A) First, simplify the left
√ side of the equation to get
2
2 = 11 e + 9. Then, divide both sides by 11 to get 11 = e + 9. Squaring both sides
 2
2 4
gives 11
= e+9. Finally, subtract 9 from both sides to solve for e, giving e = 121
−9.

15. Correct Answer Explanation: C) The polynomial 11x2 + jx − 110 can be factored
as (11x − 10)(x + 11). Comparing this with (kx + l)(x + m), we find that k = 11,
l = −10, m = 11. Therefore, j = km + l = 11 ∗ 11 − 10 = 111, which is an integer.

16. Correct Answer √ Explanation: D) In an isosceles right triangle, the ratio of the
sides is 1 : 1√: 2. So, if the hypotenuse is 68 inches, each of the other two√sides
would be 68/ 2 inches. The total length of all the sides would be 68 + 2 ∗ (68/ 2) =
68 + 2 ∗ 48.04 = 164.08 inches.

17. Correct Answer Explanation: A) First, solve for s in the equation 3s = 8 by multi-
plying both sides by 3 to get s = 24. Then substitute s = 24 into the expression 3s to

get 24 = 18 .

18. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The makeup artist earns $v for every w hours of
work. So, for 35w hours of work, the makeup artist will earn 35vw.

19. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The vertex of a parabola given by the equation
y = a(x − h)2 + k is at the point (h, k). In this case, the vertex is at (8, 4). This means
that 8 hours after the submarine started diving, it reached a depth of 4 meters.

20. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The function is a sine function shifted to the
right by 3 units, which represents the month of March. Since the sine function reaches
its maximum at π2 , the shifted function reaches its maximum 3 months later, in June.

21. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The y-intercept of a function is the point where
the graph of the function intersects the y-axis. This happens when x = 0. If we
substitute x = 0 into the function y = x3 − 2x2 + x − 1, we get y = −1. Therefore, the
y-intercept of the function is -1.

22. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The smallest number in the set {5, 10, 15, 20,
25} is 5.
