TURN IN ALL WORKSHEETS. CALCULATORS ARE PERMITTED ON THIS TEST.

In 1 - 8, simplify completely:

1a)                                   2a)                                    3a)

 

 

  b)                                     b)                                        b)

 

 

In 4 - 6, give        a) simplest radical form,

                             b) calculator value (nearest hundredth).

4.                              5.                            6.

 

 

 

 

In 7 - 9, rationalize the denominators.

7.                                     8.                                      9.              

 

 

In 10 – 11, simplify:

10a)                                       b)                                           c) 

 

  

11a)                                       b)                                        c) 

 

 

In 12 – 13 solve for x.

12.                            13.          

 

 

 

 

In 14 - 30, solve for x.   For inequalities, give interval notation.

14.      |2x – 10 | = 6                                         15a)    |2x – 10 | > - 4              

 

                                                                            b)    |2x – 10 | < - 4

 

16.     |x – 2 | < 5                                               17.   

 

 

18.    x2 – 2x = 8                19.  (x + 3) 2 = 12                20.  x(x – 4)  = –8

 

 

 

In 21 – 23, find x.

[Note:  Being technologically impaired, I am unable to draw the triangles for the Theorem of Pythagoras problems.  For now, a description will have to suffice.]

 

21.  Solve a triangle whose legs are 40 and 42, with hypotenuse x.

 

 

22.  Solve a triangle whose legs are x and 20, with hypotenuse 24.

 

 

23.  The diagonal of a rectangle is 73 cm, and the length is 55 cm.  Find the width of the rectangle.
