i MATH 1. Level: Easy | Domain: ALGEBRA Skill/ Knowledge: Linear equations in one variable Testing point: Solving equations with one variable Key Explanation: Choice B is correct. This question can be solved in two ways. The most ficient way to solve the equation is to factor out the d from the left side ofthe equation yielding 4(x+4) =24 . Dividing both sides of the equation opal 424 equate (x+4)=6, which is Choice B. “The second way to solve this equation is to subtract 16 from both sides ofthe equation. The result is 4x-+16~16=24—16 which in turn translates to 4x =8. Dividing both sides ofthe equation by 4 gets x=2. However, the question asks for the value of x +4, and not x which will then be2+4,0r6, Distractor Explanation: Choice A is incorrect as this is the value of 4x when 16 is subtracted from both sides ofthe equation. Choice C is incorrect as this isthe value of x. Choice D is incorrect as this answer may be the result ofa conceptual error ‘or miscalculation. 2. Level: Medium | Domain: PROBLEM-SOLVING AND DATA ANALYSIS Skill/Knowledge: Probability and conditional probability | Testing point: Conditional probability Key Explanation: Choice A is correct. Given that there are 35 teachers in the school, according to the table, there are 16 female teachers. Thus, the ‘number of male teachers in the school is 35 ~ 16 9. The number of people inthe school is found by adding the number of teachers to the number of students as follows: 245 + 35 = 280. Therefore, [Link] Answers & Explanations 2B Module 1 I cof the 280 people inthe school, 19 are male teachers and the probability of selecting a male 19 teacheris 355 Distractor Explanation: Choice B is incorrect since it is the probability of choosing a teacher given that he is already male. Choice Cis incorrect, since it’s the probability of choosing a male given that he is already a teacher. Choice D is incorrect as itis conceptually incorrect because Itmixes students and teachers. Level: Easy | Domain: ADVANCED MATH ‘Skill/Knowledge: Nonlinear equations in one variable and systems of equations in two variables ‘Testing point: Solving absolute value equations Key Explanation: Absolute value equations usually have two solutions. The fist step would be to remove the parentheses and set up two linear equations as follows: 2x-3= Land 2x-3=-11 “To solve for xin the first equation, add 3 to both sides ofthe equation as follows: 2e-343=1143 axa 14 xe? ‘To find the second solution solve for xin the second equation by adding 3 to both sides of the ‘equation as follows: 2e-343=-1143 “Thus, the positive solution for xis 7.

Distractor Explanation: Choice A does not work as shown above. Plugging Choice C into the first inequality yields H6(-2)43<1 12431 15 < 1, which is not true. Plugging Choice D into the first inequality yields ~6(-2) +3<-4 1243<-4 15 < ~4, which is not true 8, Level: Hard | Domain: ADVANCED MATH Skill/Knowledge: Nonlinear functions | Testing point: Transformations of quadratic equations Key Explanation: Choice A is correct. The vertex form of the equation ofa parabola isy = (xh)? + , where (hk) isthe vertex of the parabola. Thus, the vertex of the f(x) equation is (3, 8) and the vertex of the g(x) equation is (5, 5). Therefore, the x coordinate moves to the right 2 units from fx) to.g(x) and the y coordinate moves down 3 units, [Link] 75 ‘Answers & Explanations Module 1 i Distractor Explanation: Choice B is incorrect as the x coordinate is moving to the right, not the left. A student may pick this option ifhe or she assumes that since h has reduced by 2 units iis moving to the left. Choice Cis incorrect because the y coordinate is moving down not up. Choice Dis incorrect. This incorrect answer may be selected if the student transformed g(x) onto fx) instead of the other way around.
