五道SAT2数学练习题

下面为大家推荐的是关于SAT2数学练习题的信息，后面都附有详细的答案。SAT2数学考试相对于SAT数学考试来说稍稍有一些难度，让我们看下这些SAT2数学练习题。

1. If 2x < 100 and x is an integer, how many of the 2x + 2 integers will be divisible by 3 and by 2?

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) 4

(d) 5

Answer:

26 = 64 and 27 = 128. If 2x < 100, then the highest value of x is 6.

Possible values for x: 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4, , 5 , 6. 2x + 2 can take the values 3 , 4 , 6 , 10 , 18 , 34 , 66.

Out of these values, only 6 , 18 and 66 are divisible by 3 and by 2. The correct answer is (c).

2.sin(x)cos(x)(1 + tan2(x)) =

(a) tan(x) + 1

(b) cos(x)

(c) sin(x)

(d) tan(x)

(e) sin(x) + cos(x)

Answer:

sin(x)cos(x)(1 + tan2(x)) =sin(x)cos(x)(1 + sin2(x)/cos2(x)) = sin(x)cos(x)[(cos2(x) + sin2(x))/cos2(x)] = sin(x)cos(x)[1/cos2(x)] = sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x)

3. If 5xy = 210, and x and y are positive integers, each of the following could be the value of x + y except:

(a) 13

(b) 17

(c) 23

(d) 15

(e) 43

Answer:

5xy = 210 so xy = 42. 42 = 2 · 3 · 7.

The following products of integers equal to 42: (6 · 7) or (2 · 21) or (14 · 3) or (42 · 1). 6 +7 = 13, 2 + 21 = 23, 14 + 3 = 17 42 + 1 = 43.

The only answer that is NOT 43, 13, 23 or 17 is (d), 15.

4.The average of the integers 24, 6, 12, x and y is 11. What is the value of the sum x + y?

(a) 11

(b) 17

(c) 13

(d) 15

(e) 9

Answer:

The average of the 5 numbers is (24 + 6 + 12 + x + y)/5. (24 + 6 + 12 + x + y)/5 = 11 24 + 6 + 12 + x + y = 11 · 5 24 + 6 + 12 + x + y = 55 x + y = 13

5.The inequality |2x - 1| > 5 must be true in which one of the following cases? I. x < -5 II. x > 7 III. x > 0

(a) II only

(b) I, II and II

(c) I and II only

(d) I and III only

(e) I only

Answer:

|2x - 1| > 5, -5 > 2x - 1 or 2x - 1 > 5 -4 > 2x or 2x > 6 -4 > 2x results in x < -2 2x > 6 results in x > 3

I answer is true, II answer is also true, but III answer is false, so the correct answer is (c)
