Cevap: $31.2$

Cevap

31.2

For any linear transformation of the form

Y = aX + b

, measures of spread such as range and interquartile range (IQR) are multiplied by

|a|

, while the constant term

b

has no effect. Multiplying the original range (

18

) and IQR (

8

) by

1.2

yields a new range of

21.6

and a new IQR of

9.6

. Summing these values gives

21.6 + 9.6 = 31.2

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the impact of a linear transformation

Y = aX + b

on measures of dispersion.

Measures of dispersion (Range, IQR, Standard Deviation) scale by

|a|

and are unaffected by the additive constant

b

.

Adding or subtracting a constant shifts all data points by the same amount, leaving the distance between points unchanged, whereas multiplying by a factor scales all distances between points.

2

Calculate the range of Dataset

Q

.

\text{Range}_Q = 1.2 \times \text{Range}_P = 1.2 \times 18 = 21.6

The range scales by the multiplier

1.2

and is not affected by subtracting

3

.

3

Calculate the interquartile range (IQR) of Dataset

Q

.

\text{IQR}_Q = 1.2 \times \text{IQR}_P = 1.2 \times 8 = 9.6

The IQR scales by the multiplier

1.2

and is not affected by subtracting

3

.

4

Compute the sum of the range and the IQR of Dataset

Q

.

\text{Sum} = 21.6 + 9.6 = 31.2

Adding the newly calculated Range and IQR gives the required total spread measure.

A $10$ -foot straight ladder leans against a vertical wall on flat horizontal ground. If the bottom of the ladder is $6$ feet away from the base of the wall, how high up the wall, in feet, does the top of the ladder reach?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

The top of the ladder reaches

8

feet up the wall.

Applying the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

with hypotenuse

c = 10

and ground leg

a = 6

gives

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

, which simplifies to

36 + b^2 = 100

, so

b^2 = 64

and

b = 8

feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the right triangle relationship using the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

, where

a = 6

and

c = 10

.

The ladder forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the vertical wall and horizontal ground.

2

Substitute the known values into the formula and solve for

b

.

6^2 + b^2 = 10^2 \implies 36 + b^2 = 100 \implies b^2 = 64 \implies b = 8

.

Subtracting

36

from

100

gives

64

For all real numbers

x

such that

x \neq 0

and

x \neq 1

, the function

f

satisfies the equation

f(x) + f\left(\frac{x - 1}{x}\right) = 1 + x

What is the value of

f(2)

?

Cevap: 0.75

Cevap

The value of

f(2)

is

0.75

(or

\frac{3}{4}

).

Evaluating the given equation at

x = 2

,

x = 1/2

, and

x = -1

generates a system of three linear equations:

f(2) + f(1/2) = 3

,

f(1/2) + f(-1) = 1.5

, and

f(-1) + f(2) = 0

. Adding all three equations yields

2(f(2) + f(1/2) + f(-1)) = 4.5

, which simplifies to

f(2) + f(1/2) + f(-1) = 2.25

. Subtracting the equation

f(1/2) + f(-1) = 1.5

from

2.25

gives

f(2) = 0.75

Determine the cyclic sequence of inputs starting at

x = 2

Evaluating the inner transformation

g(x) = \frac{x-1}{x}

yields

g(2) = \frac{1}{2}

,

g\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = -1

, and

g(-1) = 2

. The input sequence cycles every 3 steps.

Identifying that

g(g(g(x))) = x

allows constructing a closed system of linear equations.

2

Set up a system of three linear equations using the cycle values

For

x = 2

:

f(2) + f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 3

.
For

x = \frac{1}{2}

:

f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + f(-1) = \frac{3}{2}

.
For

x = -1

:

f(-1) + f(2) = 0

.

Substituting each element of the cycle into the given relation produces three linear equations in three unknown function values.

3

Sum the equations and isolate

f(2)

Summing all three equations gives

2\left[f(2) + f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + f(-1)\right] = \frac{9}{2}

, so

f(2) + f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + f(-1) = \frac{9}{4}

. Subtracting

f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + f(-1) = \frac{3}{2}

yields

f(2) = \frac{9}{4} - \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75

.

Symmetric summation provides the total sum of the three function values, allowing direct elimination of the other two variables.

Cevap: $\frac{3}{2}$

Cevap

The ratio of the volume of the empty space remaining in the cylinder above the water level to the volume of the water inside the cylinder is

\frac{3}{2}

.

The empty cylinder portion at the top has height

r

, giving a volume of

\pi r^3

. The submerged section up to height

2r

has total volume

2\pi r^3

, of which the sphere accounts for

\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

. Subtracting the sphere's volume leaves

\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

of water. The ratio of empty space to water volume is

\frac{\pi r^3}{\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3} = \frac{3}{2}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the volume of the empty cylindrical space above the water height.

The total height of the cylinder is

3r

and the water level reaches height

2r

, leaving an empty height of

3r - 2r = r

. The volume of empty space is

V_{\text{empty}} = \pi r^2 \cdot r = \pi r^3

.

The empty space forms a smaller cylinder of base radius

r

and height

r

at the top.

2

Calculate the total volume of the cylindrical region filled up to the water height of

2r

.

V_{\text{region}} = \pi r^2 \cdot (2r) = 2\pi r^3

.

This represents the combined volume of the water and the submerged sphere.

3

Calculate the volume of the solid sphere of radius

r

.

V_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

.

Using the standard formula for the volume of a sphere,

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

.

4

Find the volume of the water by subtracting the sphere's volume from the total filled region.

V_{\text{water}} = 2\pi r^3 - \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

.

The space taken up by the water is the total volume up to height

2r

minus the displacement volume of the sphere.

5

Compute the required ratio of

V_{\text{empty}}

to

V_{\text{water}}

.

\frac{V_{\text{empty}}}{V_{\text{water}}} = \frac{\pi r^3}{\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3} = \frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{3}{2}

.

Dividing the empty space volume by the water volume simplifies to

\frac{3}{2}

.

A non-degenerate triangle has integer side lengths $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ such that $a \le b \le c$ . If the perimeter of the triangle is $30$ and its area is an integer, what is the length of the longest side $c$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 13

Cevap

13

Using Heron's formula with semi-perimeter

s = 15

, the area of the triangle is

\sqrt{15(15-a)(15-b)(15-c)}

. By defining

x = 15-a

,

y = 15-b

, and

z = 15-c

, we have

x+y+z = 15

with

x \ge y \ge z \ge 1

. For the area to be an integer,

15xyz

must be a perfect square. The AM-GM inequality bounds

xyz \le 125

, leaving

xyz = 60

as the only valid case (

k=2

). The system

x+y+z=15

and

xyz=60

has a unique positive integer solution

(10, 3, 2)

, giving side lengths

(5, 12, 13)

. Thus, the longest side length

c

is

13

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the semi-perimeter of the triangle.

s = \frac{a+b+c}{2} = \frac{30}{2} = 15

Heron's formula requires the semi-perimeter

s

to compute the area of a triangle.

2

Set up Heron's formula for the area.

\text{Area} = \sqrt{15(15-a)(15-b)(15-c)}

Heron's formula relates the side lengths of a triangle directly to its area.

3

Define variables for the differences from the semi-perimeter.

Let

x = 15-a

,

y = 15-b

, and

z = 15-c

. Then

x+y+z = 15

and

x \ge y \ge z \ge 1

.

Because

a \le b \le c

, their complements with respect to

15

satisfy

x \ge y \ge z

.

4

Determine the condition for the area to be an integer.

\text{Area} = \sqrt{15xyz}

must be an integer, so

15xyz = m^2

for some integer

m

, implying

xyz = 15k^2

for an integer

k \ge 1

.

For

\sqrt{15xyz}

to be an integer,

15xyz

must be a perfect square containing

15

as a factor.

5

Bound

xyz

using the AM-GM inequality.

xyz \le \left(\frac{x+y+z}{3}\right)^3 = 5^3 = 125 \implies 15k^2 \le 125 \implies k=1 \text{ or } k=2

The AM-GM inequality provides a maximum upper bound for the product of three positive numbers with a fixed sum.

6

Evaluate the possible values of

k

.

If

k=1

,

xyz = 15

, which has no integer solutions for

x+y+z=15

. If

k=2

,

xyz = 60

, which yields

(x, y, z) = (10, 3, 2)

.

Solving the system

x+y+z=15

and

xyz=60

under

x \ge y \ge z \ge 1

gives

z=2

,

y=3

,

x=10

uniquely.

7

Calculate the side lengths and identify the longest side

c

.

a = 5

,

b = 12

,

c = 13

, so the longest side length is

13

.

Since

c = 15 - z = 15 - 2 = 13

, the longest side of the right triangle

(5, 12, 13)

is

1

Analyze the variable coefficients across the three equations for linear dependence.

Notice that the coefficients of the third equation can be expressed as a linear combination of the first two equations.

If the left-hand side of the third equation is a linear combination of the first two equations, the system will only be consistent if the right-hand side constants satisfy the exact same linear combination.

2

Determine the multiplier needed to produce the third equation's left-hand side.

Multiply the second equation by

2

and add it to the first equation:

(2x + 3y - z) + 2(x - 2y + 4z) = 4x - y + 7z

.

This yields the exact expression

4x - y + 7z

present on the left-hand side of the third equation.

3

Apply the identical combination to the right-hand side constant terms.

The combined constant value is

11 + 2(-3) = 11 - 6 = 5

For the system to have at least one solution (i.e., to avoid contradiction and be consistent),

k

must equal this computed value of

In a meteorological study, the daily peak wind speeds (in kilometers per hour) recorded over 7 consecutive days were $14, 18, 21, 24, 27, 31,$ and $37$ . As part of a data calibration process, each recorded wind speed is increased by $15\%$ and then increased by an additional constant of $5\text{ km/h}$ . What is the range, in kilometers per hour, of the calibrated daily peak wind speeds?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 26.45

Cevap

The range of the calibrated daily peak wind speeds is 26.45 km/h.

For any dataset transformed linearly according to

y = a \cdot x + b

where

a > 0

, the range of the transformed dataset is given by

\text{Range}(Y) = a \cdot \text{Range}(X)

. Here, increasing each value by

15\%

corresponds to

a = 1 + 0.15 = 1.15

, and adding

5

corresponds to

b = 5

. The original maximum is

37

and the original minimum is

14

, giving an original range of

37 - 14 = 23

. Therefore, the new range is

1.15 \times 23 = 26.45\text{ km/h}

. The constant shift of

5\text{ km/h}

affects the center (mean, median) but has zero effect on the dispersion.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the range of the original set of wind speeds.

Original Range = 37 - 14 = 23 km/h.

The range is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset.

2

Apply the properties of linear transformations to measures of dispersion.

The transformation is y = 1.15x + 5. The range is scaled by 1.15 and unaffected by the addition of 5.

Adding a constant shift to all data points shifts the entire distribution without changing the spread (dispersion), whereas multiplying all data points by a constant factor 'a' scales all measures of dispersion by |a|.

3

Compute the calibrated range.

Calibrated Range = 1.15 * 23 = 26.45 km/h.

Multiplying the original range of 23 by the scale factor of 1.15 gives the exact range of the transformed dataset.

Cevap: The regular selling price of an item is $1.40x$ dollars.; The clearance sale price of an item is $1.19x$ dollars.

Cevap

The statements confirming that the regular selling price is

1.40x

dollars and that the clearance sale price is

1.19x

dollars are correct.

The regular selling price is computed by increasing the cost

x

1.40x

. The clearance price is found by reducing

1.40x

by 15%, which equals

1.40x \times 0.85 = 1.19x

. Therefore, both the statement that the regular price is

1.40x

dollars and the statement that the clearance price is

1.19x

dollars are correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Model the regular selling price using the original purchase price

x

and the

40\%

markup.

Regular price

A 40% markup increases the base cost

x

by 0.40 times its original value.

Model the clearance sale price by applying a

15\%

discount to the regular selling price.

Clearance price

= 1.40x \times (1 - 0.15) = 1.40x \times 0.85 = 1.19x

Cevap: 115

Cevap

115 gallons per hour

Letting

r

represent the rate of Pump B in gallons per hour, the rate of Pump A is

2r + 15

. During the first 4 hours, both pumps operate together at a combined rate of

(3r + 15)

gallons per hour, contributing

4(3r + 15) = 12r + 60

gallons. In the remaining 5 hours, Pump B alone contributes

5r

gallons. Setting the total amount equal to the tank capacity gives

12r + 60 + 5r = 910

, which simplifies to

17r = 850

, so

r = 50

. Substituting

r = 50

into

2r + 15

yields

115

gallons per hour.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define the variable for the unknown rate.

Let

r

be the pumping rate of Pump

B

in gallons per hour. Then the rate of Pump

A

is

2r + 15

gallons per hour.

Expressing both rates in terms of a single variable

r

allows us to formulate a linear equation in one variable.

2

Determine the combined pumping rate and the work done during the first phase.

Combined rate

= r + (2r + 15) = 3r + 15

gallons per hour. Work completed in 4 hours

= 4(3r + 15) = 12r + 60

gallons.

When both pumps work together, their individual rates add together.

3

Formulate the total work equation for filling the 910-gallon tank.

(12r + 60) + 5r = 910 \implies 17r + 60 = 910

The sum of the work done in the first 4 hours by both pumps and the work done in the next 5 hours by Pump B alone equals the total capacity.

4

Solve the linear equation for

r

.

17r = 850 \implies r = 50

gallons per hour.

Subtracting 60 from both sides and dividing by 17 gives the rate of Pump B.

5

Calculate the pumping rate of Pump A.

Rate of Pump

A = 2(50) + 15 = 115

gallons per hour.

Substitute

r = 50

into the expression for Pump A's rate (

2r + 15

).

Cevap: 27

Cevap

The total number of diagonals that can be drawn in the polygon is 27.

To find the total number of diagonals in a regular polygon, first determine its number of sides

n

. Using the interior angle formula

\frac{(n-2) \times 180^\circ}{n} = 140^\circ

, we find

n = 9

. Next, applying the diagonal formula

D = \frac{n(n-3)}{2}

for

n = 9

gives

D = \frac{9 \times 6}{2} = 27

. Thus, the value 27 is correct.

Find the number of sides

n

of the regular polygon using the interior angle measure.

The polygon has

n = 9

sides.

Each interior angle of a regular

-gon is given by

\frac{(n - 2) \times 180^\circ}{n} = 140^\circ

. Solving for

n

:

180n - 360 = 140n \implies 40n = 360 \implies n = 9

.

2

Calculate the total number of diagonals using the formula

D = \frac{n(n - 3)}{2}

.

The total number of diagonals is 27.

Substituting

n = 9

into the formula yields

D = \frac{9(9 - 3)}{2} = \frac{9 \times 6}{2} = 27

.

Container X contains a liquid solution that is $80\%$ alcohol by volume, and Container Y contains a liquid solution that is $25\%$ alcohol by volume. A chemist removes a specific volume of solution from Container X and mixes it with a solution from Container Y to produce $100$ liters of a new mixture that is $58\%$ alcohol by volume. Following this removal, $20$ liters of pure alcohol are added to the liquid remaining in Container X.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $85\%$

Cevap

85%

To find the final concentration, we first determine the volume of solution removed from Container X. Using the weighted average for the 100-liter mixture:

0.80 V_x + 0.25 (100 - V_x) = 58

, which simplifies to

0.55 V_x = 33

, so

V_x = 60

liters. Container X originally held 120 liters, so removing 60 liters leaves 60 liters of solution containing

80\% \times 60 = 48

liters of alcohol. Adding 20 liters of pure alcohol increases the total alcohol to

48 + 20 = 68

liters and the total volume to

60 + 20 = 80

liters. The final concentration is

\frac{68}{80} = 85\%

.

Find the volume of solution

V_x

removed from Container X to make the 100-liter mixture.

V_x = 60

liters.

Let

V_x

be the volume from X and

100 - V_x

be the volume from Y. Setting up the alcohol concentration equation:

0.80 V_x + 0.25 (100 - V_x) = 0.58(100) \implies 0.55 V_x + 25 = 58 \implies 0.55 V_x = 33 \implies V_x = 60

liters.

2

Determine the remaining solution volume and alcohol volume in Container X after removing 60 liters.

Remaining solution =

60

liters; Remaining alcohol =

48

liters.

Container X initially had

120

liters. Removing

60

liters leaves

120 - 60 = 60

liters. Since the mixture is homogeneous, the remaining liquid retains an

80\%

alcohol concentration, yielding

0.80 \times 60 = 48

liters of alcohol.

3

Calculate the total alcohol volume and total solution volume in Container X after adding 20 liters of pure alcohol.

New alcohol volume =

68

liters; New total solution volume =

80

liters.

Adding

20

liters of pure alcohol increases both the alcohol amount (

48 + 20 = 68

liters) and the total liquid volume (

60 + 20 = 80

liters).

4

Calculate the final concentration of alcohol in Container X.

Concentration =

\frac{68}{80} = 0.85 = 85\%

Cevap: 3

Cevap

There are 3 possible integer values of

x

.

To form an acute triangle with side lengths

x

,

x+2

, and

x+4

, three conditions must be met: the perimeter bound (

3x+6 < 36 \implies x < 10

), the non-degeneracy condition (

x + x + 2 > x + 4 \implies x > 2

), and the acute angle condition (

(x+4)^2 < x^2 + (x+2)^2 \implies x^2 - 4x - 12 > 0 \implies x > 6

). Combining these bounds restricts

x

to integer values in the range

6 < x < 10

, giving exactly three valid integer values:

7, 8,

and

9

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Apply the perimeter constraint to find an upper bound for

x

.

The perimeter is

P = x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 3x + 6

. Given

3x + 6 < 36

, subtracting

6

yields

3x < 30

, so

x < 10

.

The total length around the triangle must be strictly less than

36

.

2

Apply the triangle inequality theorem to find a lower bound for non-degenerate triangles.

AB + BC > CA \implies x + (x + 2) > x + 4 \implies 2x + 2 > x + 4 \implies x > 2

.

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be strictly greater than the length of the third side.

3

Formulate and solve the acute triangle condition.

For an acute triangle with longest side

CA = x + 4

, we require

CA^2 < AB^2 + BC^2

.

(x + 4)^2 < x^2 + (x + 2)^2

x^2 + 8x + 16 < x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4

x^2 + 8x + 16 < 2x^2 + 4x + 4

0 < x^2 - 4x - 12

(x - 6)(x + 2) > 0

Since

x

is a positive integer,

x + 2 > 0

, which implies

x - 6 > 0

, so

x > 6

.

In any acute triangle, the square of the longest side is strictly less than the sum of the squares of the remaining two sides.

4

Combine the bounds to determine the number of valid integer values for

x

.

Combining

x > 6

and

x < 10

gives integer values

x \in \{7, 8, 9\}

. There are

3

such values.

Only integer values in the open interval

(6, 10)

satisfy all conditions simultaneously.

Analyze right triangle ABC to find side lengths BC and hypotenuse AC.

BC = 4\sqrt{3}

AC = 8\sqrt{3}

In 30-60-90 triangle ABC,

\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{AB}{AC} \implies \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{12}{AC} \implies AC = 8\sqrt{3}

. Also,

\tan(30^\circ) = \frac{BC}{AB} \implies \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{BC}{12} \implies BC = 4\sqrt{3}

Calculate the area of right triangle ABC.

\text{Area}(\triangle ABC) = 24\sqrt{3}

\text{Area}(\triangle ABC) = \frac{1}{2} \times AB \times BC = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 4\sqrt{3} = 24\sqrt{3}
