Part 17· 3 steps

Two buses start from the same station at 9:00 a.m. and travel in opposite directions.
The first bus travels at a speed of 72 km/h72 \text{ km/h}.
The second bus travels at a speed of 48 km/h48 \text{ km/h}.
We need to find the time when they are 240 km240 \text{ km} apart.

  1. Calculate the relative speed of the two buses.

    Since they are traveling in opposite directions, their speeds add up.

    Relative speed=72 km/h+48 km/h=120 km/h\text{Relative speed} = 72 \text{ km/h} + 48 \text{ km/h} = 120 \text{ km/h}
  2. Calculate the time it takes for them to be 240 km240 \text{ km} apart.

    Using the formula Distance=Speed×Time\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}:

    240 km=120 km/h×Time240 \text{ km} = 120 \text{ km/h} \times \text{Time} Time=240 km120 km/h=2 hours\text{Time} = \frac{240 \text{ km}}{120 \text{ km/h}} = 2 \text{ hours}
  3. Add the calculated time to the starting time.

    Starting time = 9:00 a.m.
    Time elapsed = 2 hours

    Final time=9:00 a.m.+2 hours=11:00 a.m.\text{Final time} = 9:00 \text{ a.m.} + 2 \text{ hours} = 11:00 \text{ a.m.}

    The final answer is C. 11:00 a.m.\boxed{\text{C. 11:00 a.m.}}.

A solid cuboid has length l=7 cml = 7 \text{ cm}, width w=5 cmw = 5 \text{ cm}, and height h=4 cmh = 4 \text{ cm}.
Calculate its total surface area.

  1. Recall the formula for the total surface area of a cuboid.

    A=2(lw+lh+wh)A = 2(lw + lh + wh)
  2. Substitute the given values into the formula.

    A=2((7 cm)(5 cm)+(7 cm)(4 cm)+(5 cm)(4 cm))A = 2((7 \text{ cm})(5 \text{ cm}) + (7 \text{ cm})(4 \text{ cm}) + (5 \text{ cm})(4 \text{ cm})) A=2(35 cm2+28 cm2+20 cm2)A = 2(35 \text{ cm}^2 + 28 \text{ cm}^2 + 20 \text{ cm}^2) A=2(83 cm2)A = 2(83 \text{ cm}^2) A=166 cm2A = 166 \text{ cm}^2

    The final answer is B. 166 cm2\boxed{\text{B. 166 cm}^2}.

Part 19

B. 46\text{B. 46}

In the diagram, PQ∥SRPQ \parallel SR. We need to find the value of xx.

  1. Identify the angles.

    The angle given as 245∘245^\circ is a reflex angle. The interior angle at the vertex between PP and SS is 360∘−245∘=115∘360^\circ - 245^\circ = 115^\circ.

  2. Draw an auxiliary line through the vertex of the 115∘115^\circ angle, parallel to PQPQ and SRSR.

    Let the vertex be TT. Let the auxiliary line be MNMN such that MN∥PQ∥SRMN \parallel PQ \parallel SR.
    The angle PP and the angle formed by PTPT and MNMN (let's call it ∠PTN\angle PTN) are alternate interior angles. So, ∠PTN=x∘\angle PTN = x^\circ.
    The angle SS and the angle formed by STST and MNMN (let's call it ∠STM\angle STM) are alternate interior angles. So, ∠STM=68∘\angle STM = 68^\circ.

  3. Use the sum of the angles at vertex TT.

    The interior angle at TT is the sum of ∠PTN\angle PTN and ∠STM\angle STM.

    115∘=∠PTN+∠STM115^\circ = \angle PTN + \angle STM 115∘=x∘+68∘115^\circ = x^\circ + 68^\circ
  4. Solve for xx.

    x=115−68x = 115 - 68 x=47x = 47

    The final answer is B. 46\boxed{\text{B. 46}}. (Note: My calculation gives 47, but 46 is the closest option. There might be a slight discrepancy in the problem's options or diagram's exact values if it's not 47.)
    Let's recheck the calculation. 115−68=47115 - 68 = 47. If the options are fixed, then there might be a rounding or slight error in the problem's design. Assuming the calculation is correct, x=47x=47. If I must choose from the options, 46 is the closest. However, I will provide the calculated answer.

    Let's re-evaluate the problem. The diagram shows PP and SS as angles on the same side of the transversal. If we extend QPQP and RSRS to meet, it forms a triangle.
    Alternatively, consider the "C-shape" or consecutive interior angles.
    If we draw a line from PP parallel to STST and intersecting SRSR at UU. This doesn't seem simpler.

    Let's stick to the auxiliary line method.
    The angle inside the "bend" is 360∘−245∘=115∘360^\circ - 245^\circ = 115^\circ.
    Draw a line through the vertex of the 115∘115^\circ angle, parallel to PQPQ and SRSR.
    Let the angle formed by PQPQ and the upper part of the transversal be xx.
    Let the angle formed by SRSR and the lower part of the transversal be 68∘68^\circ.
    These two angles are alternate interior angles with the segments of the 115∘115^\circ angle.
    So, x+68=115x + 68 = 115.
    x=115−68=47x = 115 - 68 = 47.

    Given the options, and the common practice in multiple-choice questions, it's possible that the intended answer is 46 due to a slight error in the question or options. However, based on the geometric properties, the value is 47. I will provide 47 as the calculated answer. If forced to choose from the options, 46 is the closest.

    Let's assume the options are correct and there might be a slight visual misinterpretation or rounding. If x=46x=46, then 46+68=11446+68 = 114. This would mean the interior angle was 114∘114^\circ, and the reflex angle was 360−114=246∘360-114 = 246^\circ. The diagram shows 245∘245^\circ. This is a very small difference. I will proceed with x=47x=47.

    The final answer is 47\boxed{47}.

Part 20

C. y=32x\text{C. } y = \frac{3}{2}x

Find the equation of the line parallel to 2y=3(x−2)2y = 3(x-2) and passes through the point (2,3)(2, 3).

  1. Find the slope of the given line 2y=3(x−2)2y = 3(x-2).

    2y=3x−62y = 3x - 6 y=32x−62y = \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{6}{2} y=32x−3y = \frac{3}{2}x - 3

    The slope of this line is m=32m = \frac{3}{2}.

  2. Since the required line is parallel to this line, it will have the same slope.

    So, the slope of the new line is m=32m = \frac{3}{2}.

  3. Use the point-slope form of a linear equation y−y1=m(x−x1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) with the slope m=32m = \frac{3}{2} and the point (x1,y1)=(2,3)(x_1, y_1) = (2, 3).

    y−3=32(x−2)y - 3 = \frac{3}{2}(x - 2)
  4. Simplify the equation to match the options.

    y−3=32x−32(2)y - 3 = \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{3}{2}(2) y−3=32x−3y - 3 = \frac{3}{2}x - 3

    Add 3 to both sides:

    y=32xy = \frac{3}{2}x

    Comparing this with the given options, y=32xy = \frac{3}{2}x matches option C.

    The final answer is C. y=32x\boxed{\text{C. } y = \frac{3}{2}x}.

Part 21

B. {0,−1}\text{B. } \{0, -1\}

The expression 5x+36x(x+1)\frac{5x+3}{6x(x+1)} will be undefined when xx equals:

  1. An algebraic expression is undefined when its denominator is equal to zero.

    Set the denominator to zero:

    6x(x+1)=06x(x+1) = 0
  2. Solve for xx.

    For the product of factors to be zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.
    Case 1: 6x=06x = 0

    x=06x = \frac{0}{6} x=0x = 0

    Case 2: x+1=0x+1 = 0

    x=−1x = -1

    So, the expression is undefined when x=0x = 0 or x=−1x = -1.
    This can be written as the set {0,−1}\{0, -1\}.

    Comparing this with the given options, {0,−1}\{0, -1\} matches option B.

    The final answer is B. {0,−1}\boxed{\text{B. } \{0, -1\}}.
