 =48 - 8 + 1

 =41

Complex Level Questions

Question 15: if sin(θ) =3/5, what's cos(θ)? 

A) 3/4 B) 4/5 C) 5/3 D) 4/3

Answer: B) 4/5

Ruvimo Solution Structure:

Pythagoras theory:  sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1

Given: sin(θ) = 3/5

We recognise that, sin(θ)=opposite/hypotenuse=three/5

And cos(θ)=adjacent/hypotenuse

Pythagoras concept: 

Hypotenuse²=opposite²+adjacent²

5²=3²+adjacent²

25=9+adjacent²

adjacent²=25-9

adjacent²= 16

adjacent=√16=4

So, cos(θ)=adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(θ)=4/5

A) 4,000 B) 6,000 C) 8,000 D) 10,000

Answer: C) 8,000

Ruvimo Solution Structure:

Given, Initial population=500

Total hour=12

Bacterial doubling hour=3

No. of doubling 12/3=4

So the population will double 4 times in 12 hours.

Population after 12 hours=500×2⁴ 

500 × 16 = 8,000

Question 17: Quadratic Applications (Advanced Math)- A projectile is launched upward with the height function h(t) = -16t² + 64t + 80, where h is height in feet and t is time in seconds. What is the maximum height reached?

A) 144 feet B) 160 feet C) 176 feet D) 192 feet

Answer: A) 144 feet

Ruvimo Solution Structure: 

Given, h(t) = -16t² + 64t + 80

Formula to find when the quadratic hits its highest point

t=-b/2a

As we know, a=-16 

                        b=64

Put the value into an equation 

t=64/2(-16)

=-64/-34

= 2 

So the ball will reach after 2 seconds.

Put the time into the above equation

h(t) = -16t² + 64t + 80

h(2)=−16(2)2+64(2)+80

=−16(4)+128+80

=−64+128+80

=144 

Question 18: Statistical Analysis-  A dataset has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 8. According to the empirical rule, approximately what percentage of data falls between 59 and 91?

A) 68% B) 95% C) 99.7% D) 50%

Answer: B) 95%

Ruvimo Solution Structure: 

Average score (Mean) = 75, Standard deviation = 8

Range 59 to 91

See how far 59 and 91 are from the mean

59: 75-59=16

16/8=2

91: 91-75=16

16/8=2

So the range from 59 to 91 is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

According to the empirical rule, approximately 95% of data falls within μ ± 2σ

Question 19: Complex Rational Expressions - Simplify: (x² - 9)/(x² + 6x + 9) × (x + 3)/(x - 3)

A) 1 B) x + 3 C) x - 3 D) (x + 3)²/(x - 3)

Answer: A) 1

Ruvimo Solution Structure: (x² - 9)/(x² + 6x + 9) × (x + 3)/(x - 3)

x² - 9 = (x + 3)(x - 3) 

 x² + 6x + 9 = (x + 3)²

 [(x + 3)(x - 3)]/[(x + 3)²] × (x + 3)/(x - 3)

Multiply the fractions: [(x + 3)(x - 3) × (x + 3)]/[(x + 3)² × (x - 3)]

Simplify: [(x + 3)²(x - 3)]/[(x + 3)²(x - 3)] = 1
