There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:
==> You can compare the big and small numbers by making the base or the exponent the same. From\(A=6^2^0, B=2^6^0=(2^3)^2^0=8^2^0\), you get 6<8, which becomes A<B, and from \(B=2^6^0=(2^2)^3^0=4^3^0, C=4^5^0,\) you get 30<50, which becomes B<C.
In the x-y plane, what is the slope between y-intercept and a negative x-intercept of \(y=x^2+x-6\)?
A. -2 B. -3 C. 2 D. 4 E. 6
==> From y=x2+x-6=(x+3)(x-2)=0, the x-intercept becomes (-3,0) or (2,0), and (0,-6). From these, the negative x-intercept is (-3,0) and the negative y-intercept is (0,-6). The slope of the straight line that passes through the two points becomes \(\frac{0-(-6)}{-3-0=-2}\)
Of the people who purchase a house, 60% considers the landscape and 80% considers the color of the house. If 10% of the people who purchase a house considers neither the landscape nor the color of the house, what percent is the people who consider both the landscape and the color of the house?
A. 40% B. 45% C. 50% D. 55% E. 60%

If you set the intersection as a%, you get the figure above. Then, from (60-a)+a+(80-a)=90, you get 140-a=90 and a=50.
If DB=2, AC=12, and X is the center of the circle shown as the above figure, what is the area of the circle?
A. \(20π\) B. \(80π\) C. \(100π\) D. \(120π\) E. \(160π\)

You get the figure shown above, and according to the Pythagorean Theorem, you get \(r^2=(r-2)^2+6^2=r^2-4r+4+36\), and if you get rid of \(r^2\) on both sides and simplify the equation, from 4r=40, you get r=10. Thus, it becomes the area of the circle, which is \(π10^2=100π\).
What is the number of integers x such that \(4<x^2-4x+4<16\)?
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 E. 5
==> Since \(x^2-4x+4=(x-2)^2\), from \(4<(x-2)^2<16\), you get -4<x-2<-2 or 2<x-2<4, and if you simplify it, from -2<x<0 or 4<x<6, you get x=integer=-1,5, and thus 2.
If n is the product of 3 consecutive integers, which of the following must be true?
I. a multiple of 2 II. a multiple of 3 III. a multiple of 4
A. I only B. II only C. III only D. I and II E. II and III
==> If n is the product of 3 consecutive integers, it is always even and has 3, so it is always a multiple of 6. Thus, I and II is correct and for III, since n=1*2*3=6 is not a multiple of 4, hence it is incorrect.
If the sum of the annual salaries of n persons is $x and the monthly salary per person is $y, what is the value of n in terms of x and y?
A. $x/12y B. $12x/y C. $12xy D. $12y/x E. $xy/12
==> Since the monthly salary per person is $y, the annual salary per person becomes $12y and the total sum of the annual salaries of n number of people becomes $12ny. Since it is $x, from $12ny=$x, you get n=x/12y.
==> According to the ivy approach, you get is:”=”, what: “some”, and percent:”1/100”. Also, you substitute √12=2√3, and from √3=some(1/100)2√3, if you get rid of √3 on both sides, you get 1=(some)2/100, some=50.
