Explanation
You are given that the relationship between the pressure and volume of the
gas throughout the experiment was PV = C, where C is a positive constant.
Quantity A is the volume of the gas when the pressure was 40 psi. At this
pressure, the equation PV = C becomes 40V = C. Solving this equation for V,
you get that is, the volume of the gas was 0.025C cubic inches.
Quantity B is 1.2 times the volume of the gas when the pressure was 50 psi.
At this pressure, the equation PV = C becomes 50V = C, or Therefore that is,
Quantity B is 0.024C cubic inches. Thus the correct answer is Choice A.

Explanation
Te inequality is equivalent to By inspection, the positive integers
that satisfy this inequality are 1, 2, and 3. Note that 0 and the negative integers
1, 2 , and 3 also satisfy the inequality, and there are no other integer
solutions. So there are seven integers in the solution set: 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2,
and 3. Tus the correct answer is Choice D.
B (5, 12)
C (10, 7)
D (12, 3)
E (15, 2)
Explanation
Consider the three lines that bound triangular region R. Te line x = 0 is the y-
axis, and the line y = 0 is the x-axis. Te line 4x + 3y = 60 intersects the x-axis at
(15, 0) and intersects the y-axis at (0, 20). Te fgure below shows region R.
From the fgure, you can see that all points inside region R have positive
coordinates and lie below the line 4x + 3y = 60. Note that the equation 4x + 3y
= 60 can be rewritten in the form In this form, you can see that points inside
region R satisfy the inequality Since all of the answer choices have positive
coordinates, you need only to check whether the coordinates in each answer
choice satisfy the inequality or equivalently
Choice A, (2, 18): So Choice A is not in region R.
Choice B, (5, 12): So Choice B is in region R.
Choice C, (10, 7): So Choice C is not in region R.
Choice D, (12, 3): So Choice D is in region R.
Choice E, (15, 2): So Choice E is not in region R.
Tus the correct answer consists of Choices B and D.
Tis explanation uses the following 17. Te function f has the property that f(x) = f(x + 1) for all numbers x. If
strategy. f(4) = 17, what is the value of f(8) ?
Strategy 7: Find a Pattern
Explanation
Te property that f(x) = f(x + 1) for all numbers x implies that f(4) = f(5), f(5) =
f(6), f(6) = f(7), and f(7) = f(8). Terefore, since f(4) = 17, it follows that f(8) = 17.
Tus the correct answer is 17.

Explanation
Since each support is in the shape of a right triangle with legs of length 3 feet
and 4 feet, the length of the third side of the support is or penthagore y
nha (3^2 + 4^2)^-2 5 feet. Te total length of the stripping of each support is
therefore 3 + 4 + 5, or 12 feet.
The company has 6,000 feet of metal stripping available. So, with no waste,
the greatest possible number of supports that can be produced is 6000/12 or
500. The correct answer is Choice B.
Circumreference l chu vi ch o The volume V of a right circular cylinder is V = r2h, where r is the radius of
phi din tch area nha con!!! the base and h is the height of the cylinder. If the volume of a right circular
cylinder is 45 and its height is 5, what is the circumference of its base?
You are given that the volume of the right circular cylinder is 45 and the
height is 5. It follows that r2h = 45, or r2h = 45. Since h = 5 and r2h = 45, it
follows that 2r = 9, or r = 3. Therefore the circumference of the circular base
is 2r = 2(3) = 6, and the correct answer is Choice D.

Tis explanation uses the following 12. Te quadrants of the xy-plane are shown in the fgure above. In the xy-plane,
strategy. line m (not shown) has a positive slope and a positive x-intercept. Line m
Strategy 6: Add to a Geometric intersects which of the quadrants? Indicate all such quadrants.
Figure A Quadrant I
B Quadrant II
C Quadrant III
D Quadrant IV
Explanation
Since line m has a positive x-intercept, it must cross the x-axis to the right of
the origin; and since the slope of line m is positive, the line must slant upward
and to the right. Consequently, the line must have a negative y-intercept. Te
fgure below shows a typical line that satisfes these conditions.
In the fgure, the line intersects quadrants I, III, and IV. Tus
the correct answer consists of Choices A, C, and D.
