(c) It’s a number that we can add to a given number to produce a sum equal to the
negative of the original number.
(d) It’s a number that we can add to a given number to produce a sum of 1.
(e) It’s a number that we can add to a given number to produce a sum equal to twice
the original number.


  1. Consider the following pair of equations as a two-by-two linear system:


2 r= 6 s− 8

and

− 7 r=− 21 s+ 28

What is the solution to this system?
(a) (r,s)= (−2, 7).
(b) (r,s)= (−8/7, 6/7).
(c) (r,s)= (1/4, −3/4).
(d) There are infinitely many solutions.
(e) There is no solution.


  1. The essential domain of a mapping is always a subset of the
    (a) maximal domain.
    (b) codomain.
    (c) independent variable.
    (d) dependent variable.
    (e) range.

  2. Figure FE-11 is graph of a quadratic function where x is the independent variable.
    Based on the information shown, what can we say about the coefficient of x^2 in the
    polynomial standard form of the function?
    (a) It is an imaginary number.
    (b) It is a complex (but not real) number.
    (c) It is a positive real number.
    (d) It is a negative real number.
    (e) We need more information to answer this.

  3. Based on the information shown in Fig. FE-11, how many real zeros does the
    quadratic function have?
    (a) More than two.
    (b) Two.
    (c) One.
    (d) None.
    (e) We need more information to answer this.
