1. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The number 30 in the function g(x) = 150 + 30x
represents the amount of money, in dollars, that John deposits into his savings account
each week. This is because x represents the number of weeks, and 30x is the total
amount of money deposited after x weeks. Therefore, each week, John deposits 30.
3. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The margin of error means that the actual pro-
portion could be as much as 0.04 more or less than the sample proportion. So, the range
of the proportion of the population that could have this feature is from 0.53 − 0.04 to
0.53 + 0.04, or from 0.49 to 0.57.
5. Correct Answer Explanation: C) First, simplify the left side of the equation√ to get
2
2. Then, divide both sides by 9 to isolate the square root, resulting in 9 = a + 11.
2
Squaring both sides eliminates the square root, giving 29 = a + 11. Simplifying the
4
left side gives 81 = a + 11. Finally, subtract 11 from both sides to solve for a, resulting
4
in a = 81 − 11.
7. Correct Answer Explanation: 200: Substituting x = 0 into the function q(x) gives
q(0) = 200(0.3)0 . Any number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so 200(0.3)0 simplifies to
200 ∗ 1, which equals 200.

10. Correct Answer Explanation: C) The slope of a line is given by the coefficient of
x in the equation of the line. In the equation g(x) = 5x − 2, the coefficient of x is 5.
Therefore, the slope of the line represented by g(x) is 5. Since line k is parallel to the
line represented by g(x), it must have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of line k is
also 5.
11. Correct Answer Explanation: D) The equation from the problem is 4x = x+24000.
Subtracting x from both sides gives 3x = 24000. Dividing both sides by 3 gives x =
8000. So, 8000 people voted against the proposal.
12. Correct Answer Explanation: C) Substitute x = 10 into the equation p(x) = 2x+8
to get p(10) = 2(10) + 8 = 20 + 8 = 28. So, there are 28 attendees at a workshop with
10 facilitators.
14. Correct Answer Explanation: A) First, we add the discount back to the final price
to find the total original price, which is 24 + 40 = 64. Then, we divide the total original
price by the number of shirts to find the original price per shirt, which is 64/8 = 8. So,
the original price for 1 shirt was $8.

17. Correct Answer Explanation: D) First, subtract the weight of the container from
the total weight the ship can carry to find the weight of cargo the ship can carry. This
gives 15, 000 − 1, 500 = 13, 500 kg. Then divide this by the weight of each cargo to find
the number of cargos the ship can carry. This gives 13, 500/250 = 54.
19. Correct Answer Explanation: B) The virus population doubles every 2 hours, so
after 14 hours, there are 14/2 = 7 doubling periods. The initial population is 1,750,000,
and it doubles 7 times, so the final population is 1750000 × 27 = 224, 000, 000.
22. Correct Answer Explanation: A) The min point of the function y = 0.2 ∗ (x −
15)2 + 50 is at x = 15, which corresponds to the 15th day of January.
