SAT数学练习题第4套参考答案

1.Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

a⁴ = a² x a² = 12 x 12 = 144

2.Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

In case I , even plus odd will give odd In case II, odd times even will give even In case III even squared is even, and even minus odd is odd. (You can check this by using an easy even number like 2 in place of n) Only case II cannot be odd.

3.Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The maximum area of the triangle will come when the given sides are placed at right angles. If we take 8 as the base and 5 as the height the area = ½ x 8 x 5 = 20 We can alter the angle between the sides to make it less or more than 90, but this will only reduce the area. (Draw it out for yourself). Hence the area can be anything less than or equal to 20.

4.Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

Food consumed per day = 39/6. In the remaining days it will consume 91 - 39 pounds = 52 pounds Now divide the food by the daily consumption to find the number of days 52 / (39/6) = 52 x (6 / 39) = 8

5.Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

A perfect cube will have prime factors that are in groups of 3; for example 125 has the prime factors 5 x 5 x 5 , and 64 x 125 will also be a cube because its factors will be 4 x 4 x 4 x 5 x 5 x 5 Consider the answer choices in turn. 8 is the cube of 2, and p is a cube, and so the product will also be a cube. pq will also be a cube as shown above. pq is a cube and so is 27, but their sum need not be a cube. Consider the case where p =1 and q = 8, the sum of pq and 27 will be 35 which has factors 5 x 7 and is not a cube. -p will be a cube. Since the difference between p and q is raised to the power of 6, this expression will be a cube (with cube root = difference squared).

6.Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Sketch a diagram and calculate the distance (hypotenuse of a right triangle) using Pythagoras theorem. Vertical height of triangle = 5 ; horizontal side = 4 ; hypotenuse = √(25 + 16) = √41

7.Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Each of the integers in the first set could be combined with any from the second set, giving a total of 4 x 5 = 20 possible pairs. Of these the combinations that could give a sum of 23 are (5 + 18), and (9 + 14) This means that the probability of getting a sum of 23 is 2/20 = 1/10

8.Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

If the price is reduced by 15 %, then the new price will be 0.85D If this new price is further reduced by 10%, the discounted price will be 0.9 x 0.85D = 0.765D

9.Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

The longest line segment that can be drawn without passing through any dots other than those at the beginning and end of the segment, such a line could go from the middle dot in the top row to either the bottom lt or right dot. In any case the segment will be the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 2 and 4. Using Pythagoras theorem the hypotenuse will be √(2 ² + 4 ² ) = √20

10.Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

If the radius is 7, the circumference = 14π The length of the arc is 100/360 of the circumference Taking π as 22/7 we get (100 x 14 x 22) / (360 x 7) which reduces to 440/ 36 = 12.22 (i.e. approx. 12)
