Example Question #61 : Equations
Which is the greater quantity?
(A)
(B)
(A) is greater
(B) is greater
(A) and (B) are equal
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(A) is greater
This makes (A) greater.
Example Question #743 : Isee Upper Level (Grades 9 12) Quantitative Reasoning
Which of the following is the greater quantity?
(A)
(B)
(A) is greater
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(A) and (B) are equal
(B) is greater
(A) and (B) are equal
The quantities are equal.
Example Question #744 : Isee Upper Level (Grades 9 12) Quantitative Reasoning
If , then what is ?
To solve this problem, simply plug the numbers into the equation: . Then, just simplify. This gives you , which is
Example Question #745 : Isee Upper Level (Grades 9 12) Quantitative Reasoning
Column A Column B
The realtionship between the columns cannnot be determined.
The quantity in Column B is greater.
The quantities in both columns are equal.
The quantity in Column A is greater.
The quantities in both columns are equal.
and mean that you must plug in what it's inside the parantheses to x in the function. Therefore, when you plug in -2 to the function, you get , which is 11. Then, plug in 2 to the function, which gives you , which is also 11. Therefore, the columns are equal.
Example Question #62 : Equations
Column A Column B
The slope of The slope of
the line the line perpendicular
. to the line in Column A.
There can be do relationship determined.
The quantities are equal.
The quantity in Column A is greater.
The quantity in Column B is greater.
The quantity in Column A is greater.
The slope of the line is 4. You can determine this by remembering the y=mx+b slope-intercept form. "M" is slope, so the number in front of x is the slope. Therefore, it's 4. The slope of a line perpendicular to the line is the negative reciprocal of the first slope. Therefore, if the slope of the first line is 4, then the slope of the perpendicular line is . Therefore, Column A is greater.
Example Question #71 : Equations
Column A Column B
The price of a $27
$30 jacket that's
on sale for
10% off.
The quantity in Column A is greater.
The quantity in Column B is greater.
There can be no relationship determined.
The quantities in both columns are equal.
The quantities in both columns are equal.
First, calculate the price of the jacket in Column A. If the $30 jacket is on sale for 10% off, that means that it is $3 lower. (10% of $30 is $3). Therefore, the price of the jacket is $27. The quantities in both columns are equal.
Example Question #72 : Algebraic Concepts
Give the -coordinate of the point on the line of the equation that has -coordinate 9.
None of the other responses is correct.
The point is on the line of the equation . Finding the -coordinate of this point is the same as evaluating for .. Substitute, and we get:
Example Question #73 : Algebraic Concepts
Given the line of the equation , which is the greater quantity?
(A) The -coordinate of the -intercept of the line
(B) The -coordinate of the -intercept of the line
(B) is greater
(A) and (B) are equal
(A) is greater
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(A) and (B) are equal
The -intercept of any line is the point at which the line intersects the -axis; therefore, its -coordinate is 0. Similarly, the -coordinate of the -intercept is 0. The quantities are equal.
Example Question #74 : Algebraic Concepts
Given the line of the equation , which is the greater quantity?
(A) The -coordinate of the -intercept of the line
(B) The -coordinate of the -intercept of the line
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given
(B) is greater
(A) is greater
(A) and (B) are equal
(A) is greater
The -coordinate of the -intercept of the line is 0, so to find the -coordinate, set and solve for :
Similarly, to find the -coordinate of the -intercept, set and solve for :
(A), the -coordinate of the -intercept of the line, is greater.
