Foundations of Mathematics 30, Prototype Exam November 2013 - Revised October 2015

Foundations of Mathematics 30 TIME: Two and One-Half Hours Calculating devices MUST meet the requirements of the Calculator Use Policy. Before an examination begins, devices must be removed from their cases and placed on the students’ desks for inspection by a mathematics or science teacher. Cases must be placed on the floor and left there for the duration of the examination. Students using a standard scientific or graphing calculator must clear all information stored in its memory before the examination begins. A school or student-owned tablet may be used as a calculating device if the school or writing center can control the tablet with management software that limits its functionality to permissible graphing and financial applications (apps) with similar functionality to an approved graphing calculator. Tablets must not be able to communicate with any other device, access the Internet/Wi-Fi, or retrieve any notes or images that may be saved on the tablet. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure their tablet complies with this policy in advance of the departmental examination session. . Do not spend too much time on any question. Read the questions carefully. The examination consists of 38 multiple-choice and 7 numeric response questions of equal value which will be machine scored. Record your answers on the Student Examination Form which is provided. Each multiple choice question has four suggested answers, one of which is better than the others. Select the best answer and record it on the Student Examination Form as shown in the example below: Student Examination Form: Multiple Choice What subject is this examination is being written in? A. Chemistry. B. Foundations of Mathematics. C. Pre-calculus. D. Workplace and Apprenticeship

What is 10% of $248.50? (Round to the nearest dollar.)

What is 10% of 24 125? (Round to the nearest whole number.)

Use an ordinary HB pencil to mark your answers on the Student Examination Form. If you change your mind about an answer, be sure to erase the first mark completely. There should be only one answer marked for each question. Be sure there are no stray pencil marks on your answer sheet. If you need space for rough work, use the space in the examination booklet beside each question. Do not fold either the Student Examination Form or the examination booklet. Check that your personal information on the Student Examination Form is correct and complete. Make any necessary changes, and fill in any missing information. Be sure to complete the Month and Day of Your Birth section.

The number of compounding periods has an exponential impact on the future

value of an investment. If you want to increase the amount of interest earned the exponent needs to increase. Hence monthly will offer 12 pay periods per year (the greatest payout), quarterly is only 4 pay periods per year, semi-annually 2 pay periods and annually only 1 pay period.

differently on the two sides of the y-axis. For example, the end behaviour will extend from quadrant III to quadrant I or extend from quadrant II to quadrant IV. Since the leading coefficient is negative, the graph will drop to the right (quadrant IV). Therefore, the end behavior is the graph will extend from quadrant II to quadrant IV.

10. C. A positive leading coefficient will cause the graph of the cubic function to rise

to the right (extend into quadrant I) and since the constant or y-intercept is 1, the graph must also pass through (0,1).

12. B. A normal siny has an x-intercept at (0, 0) and has a maximum point

when .2 Since this graph has an x-intercept of

2

and a maximum

occurring when , it has been shifted 2

to the right.

13. A. By reading the sine graph at the 3 second mark (x-axis), the height is

– 2 metres or 2 metres below sea level (y-axis). 14. D.

Range is defined as the possible values of a function on the vertical, or the y-axis. This graph goes to a height of 1.5 and a low of -0.5. Therefore the range is all the values between 1.5 and -0.5 and since the graph is a solid line, it encompasses all real numbers between. The range is written as

follows: 0.5 1.5, y y y

15. D.

A polynomial with 2 turning points has to have a degree of 3 or higher. Turning points are determined by finding the degree and subtracting 1. A constant of 4 represents the “d” value in a general polynomial. Therefore the general polynomial must be 3 2y ax bx cx d and 3 3 4 y x x best fits this description.

16. B.

The general form of a logarithmic function is logby a x , where “b” is the base and “a” represents how quickly the function increases or decreases. The characteristics tell us that the base is 10 and the function is increasing, so “a” is positive and “b” is 10. With the information about the domain and the x-intercept being (1, 0) we know the graph is regular log graph, not one that has been translated. If the function was 10log ,y x substituting an x value of 10 would give a y value of 1. Because the point is instead (10,5) it tells us the “a” value is 5. Therefore, the correct equation is 105 logy x .

19. D. The graph of logy x always looks as shown to the right

However, the equation log( 1) 2y x has been modified so that the y values of the graph move up 2 units and the x values move 1 unit to the right. Substituting a few key points into both equations will confirm the behaviour. For logy x for log( 1) 2y x

20. B.

n ( ) \ ( )A B B C translates to the “number of elements in Set A and Set

B (union symbol) , excluding all the elements in the intersection of Set B and Set C (intersection symbol)”. The elements described are: 10, 11, 6, 7, 1, 2, 4, 9 and 3, excluding 4, 7 and 9. Hence there are 6 elements.

21. B. A B translates to “elements that are common to A and B.” These are chef

salad and pizza. The “\C” in \ CA B means “not including elements in C”, which would not include the pizza. Hence {chef salad}.

22. B. There are 33 students are in the overlap set (both cellphone and tablet). If

there are 47 with a tablet and 33 in the overlap with a tablet and cellphone, that leaves 47 – 33 = 14 with just a tablet. If 76 have a cellphone and 33 in the overlap with a cellphone and tablet that leaves 76 – 33 =43 with just a cellphone.

Total student – students with either or both = students without either 100 (43 33 14) 100 90 10 without either

23. C. The inverse statement negates both parts of the “if p, then q” statement to “if

not p, then not q.” Hence: if it does not rain; then Jane will not need an umbrella is the inverse.

24. A The converse statement reverses the “if p, then q” statement to “if q, then p.”

Hence, if Jennie has an allergic reaction, then she ate peanuts. 25. D.

The statement is reversed and negated. This is the definition of contrapositive.

N W I Q N I . Natural Numbers are a subset of Whole numbers which is a subset of Integers which is a subset of Rational Numbers which is a subset of Real Numbers.

27. D. number of odd numbers : number of even numbers

2 : 5 therefore, there are 2 odd numbers, 5 even numbers and total of 7 numbers.

28. A. Odds of renting are represented by

number of people renting : number of people not renting 43 : 57

29. A. Dependent events will affect one another. Not replacing the first marble

before choosing the second one from the same bag will affect the sample space of marbles remaining to choose from.

30. D. Mutually exclusive events are disjoint events with no possibility of overlap.

Even in Saskatchewan, when it is midnight in the summer months, it can’t be “sunny.”

Because the marbles are drawn at the same time, in other words, there is no replacement, these are dependent events. For the first marble there are 8 to choose from, but only 7 marbles to chose from for the second one drawn.

38. C. This is a combination from more than one set, since the order does not

matter. There are five 5 girls and we need one 1 this can be found by 5C1. There are 11 boys and we need 2 students from that group so that would be 11C2 Therefore: 5 1 11 2C C would be the solution to the number of ways the set could be chosen.

Therefore there are 4 elements in the complement set. 42. Numeric Response: 4 If you leave your opponent 4 chips in the 3rd last play, then they can either

take 1 of the 4 remaining, leaving you with 3 and you can take 2 on your turn and they take the last one

take 2 of the 4 remaining, leaving you with 2 then you can take 1 on your turn and they still take the last one.
