Explanation
1.The correct answer is E
If , and , then . Therefore, .
2.The correct answer is C
Since can be written as and can be written as , the left side of the equation is . Since , the value of is .
3.The correct answer is E
Each rose brings a profit of minus , or . The number of roses that need to be sold to make a profit of is . This is roses.
4.The correct answer is B
In questions of this type, statements , , and should each be considered independently of the others. You must determine which of those statements could be true.
Statement cannot be true. The perimeter of the triangle cannot be , since the sum of the two given sides is without even considering the third side of the triangle.
Continuing to work the problem, you see that in , if the perimeter were , then the third side of the triangle would be , or . A triangle can have side lengths of , , and . So the perimeter of the triangle could be .
Finally, consider whether it is possible for the triangle to have a perimeter of . In this case, the third side of the triangle would be . The third side of this triangle cannot be , since the sum of the other two sides is not greater than . By the Triangle Inequality, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. So the correct answer is only.
5.The correct answer is E
when the point is on the graph of . Drawing the line , as in the graph below, shows that the is equal to for four values of between and .
