Which function is parallel to f(x) = 14/21x +5 when graphed on the same coordinate plane.
A.) g(w) = 7x +5
B.) h(y) = 3/2x +3
C.) q(b) = 2/3
D.) z(x) = 2/3x -1

Answer:
C.) q(b) = 2/3
1. What you have to look for is the slope, nothing else matters.
2. When 14/21 is simplified it equals 2/3.
3. The only equation with that slope is C.

Factor: 4x2 +2x
2x
A.) 4x2
B.) 2x
C.) 4x
D.) 2x +1

Answer:
D.) 2x +1
1. To solve this problem you have to start with factoring out a 2x on the top: 2x (2x
+1) (Don't forget the leftover +1)
2x
2. You can now cancel out the 2xs: 2x (2x +1)
2x
3. You end up with: 2x +1

B.) 6x
C.) 12x
D.) 3x +2
6x

Answer:
B.) 6x
1. You must get a common denominator. To do this multiply (3x) by (2/2)
2. Now add 6x and 6x to get 12x

Find the cosine of x

A.) cos x = 7/25

B.) cos x = 24/25
C.) cos x = 24/7
D.) cos x = 7/24

Answer:
B.) 24/25
1. First you must find the missing side: a2 +b2 = c2 ---> a2 +72 = 252 ---> a2 +49 = 625
---> a2 = 576 ---> a = 24
2. Find cos x (Adj/Hyp) which is 24/25
