I. Choose the best answer. 1. What is the solution given the set {(a, b) A B|a = b} when A and B are disjoint? a.) empty b.) a c.) b d.) a, b 2. What is the value of the complex number z if the imaginary parts of z and its conjugate are equal? a.) z = 0 b.) z R c.) z R and z C / d.) z C 3. If 1 is a zero of a polynomial function f , which of the following conclusions can be made? a.) x 1 is a factor of f (x) c.) 1 x is a factor of f (x) b.) x + 1 is a factor of f (x) d.) no conclusion can be made since 1 is always a factor of f (x) degree 4. Which of the following statements is not always true? A polynomial function of always intersects the . a.) even x-axis b.) even y-axis c.) odd x-axis d.) odd y-axis 5. What is the domain of the function f (x) = x + 1 a.) [1, +) b.) [0, +) c.) [1, +) d.) R II. Do as indicated. 1. Factor completely: m9 3m3 2 2. Simplify: xy x2 y 2 1 y 1 x3 + y 3 x 3. Solve for x: x3 i + 3=0 0 x 2

4. Solve for x: 4 cos4 x 3 sin2 x = 2, x1 5. Given: f (x) = , g(x) = |3x 5| x3 Find f g and the domain of f g

6. Three real numbers forming geometric sequence has a sum of 35. If the rst number is decreased by 1, the second number is decreased by 2 and the third number is decreased by 8, it forms an arithmetic sequence. Find the three numbers. 7. A boat X leaves a certain port, taking the direction N 35 E at the rate of 12 miles per hour. After an hour, another boat Y leaves the same port, taking the direction S 45 E at the rate of 16 miles per hour. When will Y be directly south of X? 8. Pipes A and B supply the water to a certain tank. If both pipes are open, the tanks can be lled in three hours. If pipe A alone takes twice as long as it takes pipe B alone to ll the tank, how long will it take each pipe to do the job independently.
