Problem 1 — Lines in the Plane

The equation of the line through A(0,1)A(0,1) and B(2,5)B(2,5) is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. y=x+5y=x+5
  2. B. y=2x−1y=2x−1
  3. C. y=2x+1y=2x+1✓ correct
  4. D. y=−2x+5y=−2x+5

Slope =2=2. The line through (0,1)(0,1): y−1=2(x−0)⇒y=2x+1y−1=2(x−0)⇒y=2x+1.

Problem 2 — Solving Triangles

In △ABC△ABC, AB=6AB=6, AC=8AC=8, and ∠A=π6∠A=6π​. The area equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 4848
  2. B. 2424
  3. C. 1212✓ correct
  4. D. 66

Area =12⋅6⋅8⋅sin⁡π6=24⋅12=12=21​⋅6⋅8⋅sin6π​=24⋅21​=12.

Problem 3 — Systems of Linear Equations

The system {x+y=12x+2y=5{x+y=12x+2y=5​ has:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. a unique solutiona unique solution
  2. B. no solutionno solution✓ correct
  3. C. infinitely many solutionsinfinitely many solutions
  4. D. exactly two solutionsexactly two solutions

Multiplying the first by 22: 2x+2y=2≠52x+2y=2=5. Hence the system is inconsistent — no solution.

Problem 4 — Groups

The smallest non-abelian group has order:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 33
  2. B. 44
  3. C. 66✓ correct
  4. D. 88

S3S3​ (or equivalently D3D3​) has 66 elements and is non-abelian. All groups of order 1,2,3,4,51,2,3,4,5 are abelian.

Problem 5 — Logarithms

Rezolvați ecuația log⁡2(x−3)=4log2​(x−3)=4.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. x=7x=7
  2. B. x=11x=11
  3. C. x=16x=16
  4. D. x=19x=19✓ correct

Din log⁡2(x−3)=4log2​(x−3)=4 rezultă x−3=24=16x−3=24=16, deci x=19x=19. Cum 19>319>3, domeniul este respectat.

Problem 6 — Matrices

Find ∣a−2ba−b2a−ba+2ba+ba+b2b−ab−ab−2a∣​a−2ba+2b2b−a​a−ba+bb−a​2a−ba+bb−2a​​.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 00✓ correct
  2. B. a2a2
  3. C. b2b2
  4. D. abab
  5. E. −a2−a2
  6. F. a2−b2a2−b2

∙∙ Add row 11 and row 33 component-by-component:

R1+R3=(0,0,0)R1​+R3​=(0,0,0)

∙∙ The three rows are linearly dependent (R3=−R1R3​=−R1​), hence the determinant vanishes:

det⁡=0det=0

Problem 7 — Elementary Functions

For x∈(0,1)x∈(0,1), which inequality is correct?

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. x2<x3x2<x3
  2. B. x3<x2x3<x2✓ correct
  3. C. x2=x3x2=x3
  4. D. It depends on the specific value of xIt depends on the specific value of x

For x∈(0,1)x∈(0,1), multiplying by xx shrinks the value: x3=x⋅x2<x2x3=x⋅x2<x2 since 0<x<10<x<1.

Problem 8 — Applications of Derivatives

The function f(x)=x3−3x2f(x)=x3−3x2 is decreasing on:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. RR
  2. B. (−∞,0)(−∞,0)
  3. C. (0,2)(0,2)✓ correct
  4. D. (2,+∞)(2,+∞)

f′(x)<0⇔0<x<2f′(x)<0⇔0<x<2. So ff is decreasing on (0,2)(0,2). (Increasing on (−∞,0)(−∞,0) and (2,+∞)(2,+∞).)

Problem 9 — Combinatorics

Solve the equation Cx5=Cx i20+1Cx5​=Cxi20+1​ for x∈Nx∈N, x≥5x≥5.

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. x=5x=5
  2. B. x=7x=7✓ correct
  3. C. x=8x=8
  4. D. x=9x=9
  5. E. x=6x=6
  6. F. x=10x=10

∙∙ Simplify the exponent on the right: i20=(i4)5=1i20=(i4)5=1, so i20+1=2i20+1=2:

Cx5=Cx2Cx5​=Cx2​

∙∙ Recall the combinatorial symmetry:

Cxk=Cxx−kCxk​=Cxx−k​

∙∙ Since 5≠25=2, the symmetry forces 5+2=x5+2=x:

x=7x=7

Problem 10 — Calculus

∫0π/2sin⁡2x dx∫0π/2​sin2xdx equals:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. π44π​✓ correct
  2. B. π22π​
  3. C. 11
  4. D. 1221​

∫0π/2sin⁡2x dx=∫0π/21−cos⁡2x2 dx=12[x−sin⁡2x2]0π/2=π4∫0π/2​sin2xdx=∫0π/2​21−cos2x​dx=21​[x−2sin2x​]0π/2​=4π​.
