A. $$\frac{1}{4}$$ B. $$\frac{3}{4}$$ C. 3 D. 4 E. $$\frac{9}{4}$$ 8- If $$(x-2)^3=27$$ which of the following could be the value of $$(x-4)(x-3)$$? A. 1 B. 2 C. 6 D. $$-1$$ E. $$-2$$ 9- Simplify $$(–5 + 9i)(3 + 5i)$$?

A. $$-\frac{5}{13}$$ B. $$\frac{12}{13}$$ C. $$\frac{13}{12}$$ D. $$-\frac{12}{13}$$ E. 0 ## Best ACT Math Prep Resource for 2022 ## Answers: 1- A The percent of girls playing tennis is: $$40 \% × 25 \% = 0.40 × 0.25 = 0.10 = 10 \%$$ 2- C $$5^{\frac{7}{3}}× 5^{\frac{2}{3}} = 5 ^{\frac{7}{3} + \frac{2}{3}}= 5^{\frac{9}{3}}= 5^3$$ 3- B $$2x^2+3y^5-x^2+2z^3-2y^2+2x^3-2y^5+5z^3=2x^2-x^2+2x^3-2y^2+3y^5-2y^5+2z^3+5z^3=x^2+2x^3-2y^2+y^5+7z^3$$ 4- C Add the first 5 numbers. $$40 + 45 + 50 + 35 + 55 = 225$$ To find the distance traveled in the next 5 hours, multiply the average by number of hours. $$Distance = Average × Rate = 50 × 5 = 250$$ Add both numbers. $$250 + 225 = 475$$ 5- C The question is this: 1.75 is what percent of 1.25? Use percent formula: $$part = \frac{percent}{100}× whole$$ $$1.75 = \frac{percent}{100}× 1.25 ⇒ 1.75 = \frac{percent ×1.25}{100}⇒175 = percent ×1.25 ⇒ percent =\frac{175}{1.25}= 140$$ 6- D Solve for $$x$$. $$x^3+18=130$$ $$x^3=112$$ Let’s review the options. A. 1 and $$2. 1^3 = 1$$ and $$2^3 = 8$$, 112 is not between these two numbers. B. 2 and 3. $$2^3 = 8 \space and \space 3^3 = 27$$, 112 is not between these two numbers. C. 3 and 4. $$3^3 = 27$$ and $$4^3 = 64$$, 112 is not between these two numbers. D. 4 and 5. $$4^3 = 64$$ and $$5^3 = 125$$, 112 is between these two numbers. E. 5 and 6. $$5^3 = 125$$ and $$6^3 = 216$$, 112 is not between these two numbers. 7- D Solve for $$x$$.$$\frac{3x}{16} = \frac{x – 1}{4}$$ Multiply the second fraction by 4. $$\frac{3x}{16}=\frac{4(x-1)}{4×4}$$ $$3x=4x-4$$ $$0=x-4$$ $$4=x$$ 8- B $$(x-2)^3=27→x-2=3→x=5 →(x-4)(x-3)=(5-4)(5-3)=(1)(2)=2$$ 9- D We know that: $$i=√(-1)⇒i^2=-1$$ $$(-5+9i)(3+5i)=-15-25i+27i+45i^2=-15+2i-45=2i-60$$ 10- B $$tanθ=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$$ $$tanθ=\frac{5}{12}$$⇒ we have the following right triangle. Then $$c=√(5^2+12^2 )=√(25+144)=√169=13$$ $$\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}=\frac{12}{13}$$ ## College Entrance Tests Looking for the best resource to help you succeed on the ACT Math test? ## The Best Books to Ace the ACT Math Test$14.99
