answer choices, make t = 1 in (A) and (D) and eliminate any choice that does not equal
1,287.06. Only (A) works.
- B You can start by Plugging In a value for x; try x = 4. Because angle AOB is 120° and the
triangle is isosceles, angles A and B are each 30°. Cut triangle AOB in half to make two 30-
60-90 triangles with a hypotenuse of 4 and legs of 2 and 2 . The leg with length 2 lies
on chord AB. Double it to get the total length: 4 or just x, which is(B) when you put x
= 4 into the answer choices.
- C Whenever there are variables in the question and in the answer choices, think Plugging In.
The question states the value of g, but it is a constant and a weird one at that. Pick numbers
for all the variables that will make the math more straightforward. If v = 4 and g = 2, then t
= = 4 · sin(θ), and R = = 8 ·
sin(2θ) = 8 · sin(2θ). Plug these values into the answer choices to see which equation
works. Choice (A) becomes 4 = . Simplify the right side of the equation
to get 4 = , or 4 = . This will not simplify further, so eliminate
(A). Choice (B) becomes 4 = . Simplify the right side of the equation to
get 4 = or 4 = . Eliminate (B). Choice (C) becomes 4 =
. Distribute the 2 to get 4 = . Reduce the equation
to get or 4 = or 4 = 4. The correct answer is (C).
D ia = 1 when a is a multiple of 4. Using your exponents rules, 413 + x must also be a
multiple of 4. Plug in the answers and look for what makes 413 + x a multiple of 4. Only
(D) works.
C The zero of g is the value of the variable, in this case x, when the equation is set to 0. This
is also called the root or solution of an equation. Set the equation to 0 to get 0 = 2x^2 – dx –
- Plug 6 in for x to get 0 = 2(6^2 ) – d(6) – 6. Simplify the equation to get 0 = 72 – 6d – 6, or
