A) 5
B) 6
C) 9
D) 10
E) 15
2. Why f(x) = x^2(1 – x^2) is equal to f(x) = f (1-x) for all x?
3. Circular gears P and Q start rotating at the same time at constant speeds. Gear P makes 10 revolutions per minute, and gear Q makes 40 revolutions per minute. How many second after the gears start rotating will gear Q have made exactly 6 more revolutions than gear P?

Solution for the first problem [#permalink]
22 Oct 2006, 03:56
Solution for the first problem is following:
$1250 - x scholarships
$2500 - y scholarships
$4000 - z scholarships
if total x scolarships = $37500, then $37500/1250 = 30 scolarships
x= 2* z
then z = x/2= 15 scholarships for $4000
Answer (E)

It's impossible to solve problem #2. Maybe there is some mistake or missing invormation in the text of the problem.

Solution for problem #3 [#permalink]
22 Oct 2006, 04:31
Solution for problem #3:
sign V means speed, sign t means time and sign R means amount of rotations.
V(P) = 10 rotations per minute = 10/60 rotations per second = 1/6 r per s
V(Q) = 40 rotations per minute = 40/60 rotations per second = 2/3 r per s
R=V*t
2/3*t - 6 = 1/6*t
4/6*t - 1/6*t = 6
1/2*t = 6
t = 12 seconds
CORRECT ANSWER IS (D)

A) 5 B) 6 C) 9 D) 10 E) 15
4000 scholarships = x
2500 scholars = 2x
1250 scholars = 6x = 37500 / 1250 = 30 thus x = 5
answer is A
