Problems:

1. $180,000 was spent on the project that yields annual benefit of $60,000 for a period
of 8 years without any salvage value. Determine the benefit-to-cost ratio considering
the cost of money to be 7%.
2. Which of the following pizzas is a better buy: a large pizza with 16-inch diameter for
$15 or a medium pizza with an 8-inch diameter for $7.50? What is the cost per
square inch of the better pizza?
3. Given the following equations:
ab=1/8 ac=3 bc=6
Find the value of a+b+c.
4. Which of the following is the derivative with respect to x of (x+1) 3−x3?
5. In a fund-raising show, a group of philanthropists agreed that the first one to arrive
would pay 25¢ to enter, and each later would pay twice as much as the preceding
person. The total amount collected from all of them was $262,143.75. How many of
them paid?
6. How many terms from the progression 3, 5, 7, 9, ... must be taken in order that their
sum will be 2600?
7. Find the equation of the curve passing through the point (3, 2) and having s slope
5x2 - x + 1 at every point (x, y).
8. A coin is so unbalanced that you are likely to get two heads in two successive throws
as you are to get tails in one. What is the probability of getting heads in a single
throw?
9. In the expansion of (2x - 1/x)10, find the coefficient of the 8th term.
10. The formula v=√2gh give the velocity, in feet per second, of an object when it falls h
feet accelerated by gravity g, in feet per second squared. If g is approximately 32
feet per second squared, find how far an object has fallen if its velocity is 80 feet per
second.
11. Earth is approximately 93,000,000.00 miles from the sun, and the Jupiter is
approximately 484,000,900.00 miles from the sun. How long would it take a
spaceship traveling at 7,500.00 mph to fly from Earth to Jupiter?
12. A meteorologist is inflating a spherical balloon with a helium gas. If the radius of a
balloon is changing at a rate of 1.5 cm/sec., express the volume V of the balloon as a
function of time t (in seconds). Hint: Use composite function relationship V sphere = 4/3
πr3 as a function of x (radius), and x (radius) as a function of t (time).
