Graph the inequality: $ y > x + 2 $ on a coordinate plane. Describe the solution region.
A rectangle has a length that is 3 times its width. If the perimeter is 24 units, find the dimensions.
Section 4: Bonus (5 points)
Prove that the sum of the roots of the quadratic equation is . (Hint: Use the quadratic formula.)
Answer Key
Section 1: Multiple Choice
a) 6x
a) x = 2
c) 3
a) (x – 3)(x + 3)
c) x = 4 or x = -4
b) x 5
b) 10
a) x + 2
b) (2, 5)
a) 3
c) x^2 + 4x + 4
a) x = 15
b) x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0
a) 2x(x + 2)
c) 25
a) x = 5
b) 3
c) 4x^2
c) x = 2 or x = -2
b) y = 2x + 1
Section 2: Short Answer 21. x = 5 (Add 7 to both sides: 4x = 20; divide by 4: x = 5) 22. (x + 2)(x + 3) 23. x = 3 (double root, since discriminant = 0) 24. 2x + 6 – 3x + 3 = -x + 9 25. Yes, because 2(2) + 1 = 5, which matches the y-coordinate.
Section 3: Long Answer 26. Add the equations: 3x = 6 x = 2; substitute: y = 5 – 4 = 1. Solution: (2, 1) 27. Shade above the line y = x + 2 (dashed line since >). Region is the half-plane above the line. 28. Let width = w, length = 3w. Perimeter: 2(3w + w) = 24 8w = 24 w = 3, length = 9.
