1- 4
Underline the tenth place: $$5231.\underline{\\4}8245$$ Look to the right if it is 5 or bigger, add 1 to the underlined digit. Then, round up the decimal to 5231.5

2- 20
$$75 × \frac{x}{100} = 15$$ ⇒$$75 × x = 1500 ⇒ x = \frac{1500}{75} = 20$$

3- 11.48$$$44 – 32.52 = 11.48$$ 4- $$\frac{-x-3}{2x^2-10}$$ $$\frac{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{x+5}{4}}{\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{5}{2}} =\frac{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{x+5}{4}}{\frac{x^2-5}{2}} = \frac{2(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{x+5}{4})}{x^2-5}$$ ⇒Simplify: $$\frac{1}{2} -\frac{x+5}{4} = \frac{-x-3}{4}$$ $$\frac{2(\frac{-x-3}{4})}{x^2-5} =\frac{\frac{-x-3}{2}}{x^2-5}=\frac{-x-3}{2(x^2-5)}=\frac{-x-3}{2x^2-10}$$ 5- $$–30$$ Use PEMDAS (order of operation): $$5 + 8 × (–2) – [4 + 22 ×5] ÷ 6 = 5 + 8 × (–2) – [4 + 110] ÷ 6 = 5 + 8 × (–2) – [114] ÷ 6 = 5 + (–16) – 19 = 5 + (–16) – 19 = –11 – 19 = –30$$ 6-$30
$$55×77=4235$$ Payable amount is:$$4265-4235=30$$

7- $$– 3$$
$$x1,2 = \frac{-b ± \sqrt{(b^2-4ac)} }{2a}$$
$$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$
$$4x^2 + 14x + 6 = 0$$ ⇒then: a = 4, b = 14 and c = 6
$$x = \frac{-14 + \sqrt{14^2 – 4 ,4 ,6} }{2 ,4} = – \frac{1}{2}$$
$$x = \frac{-14 – \sqrt{14^2 – 4 ,4 ,6} }{2 ,4} = – 3$$

8- $$x^{\frac{ 15}{4}}$$
$$(x^6)^{\frac{5}{8}} = x^{6 × \frac{5}{8}} = x^{\frac{ 30}{8}} =x^{\frac{ 15}{4}}$$

9- 32
$$32 + 35 + 29 = 96$$
Average = $$\frac{96}{3} = 32$$

10- $$45^\circ$$
$$90^\circ + 45^\circ = 135^\circ$$
$$180^\circ- 135^\circ = 45^\circ$$

11- $$(x – 1)(x + 6)$$
$$x^2 + 5x – 6 = (x – 1)(x + 6)$$

12-
The relationship among all sides of special right triangle $$30^\circ-60^\circ- 90^\circ$$ is provided in this triangle:

13- 5
$$C = \sqrt{(x_A- x_B)^2 + (y- y_B)^2 ) }$$
$$C = \sqrt{(1-(-2))^2 + (3- 7)^2}$$
$$C = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (- 4)^2 )}$$
$$C = \sqrt{9 + 16}$$
$$C = \sqrt{25} = 5$$

14- $$0.02857143 \cong 0.0286$$
$$\frac{4}{140} = \frac{1}{35} = 0.02857143 \cong 0.0286$$

15- $$\frac{20}{3}$$
$$f(x) = x – \frac{5}{3} ⇒( y = x) (– \frac{5}{3} ) ⇒y+ \frac{5}{3} = x$$

$$f^{-1} = x+ \frac{5}{3}$$

$$f ^{–1}(5) = 5 + \frac{5}{3} = \frac{20}{3}$$

16- $$\frac{ 1}{4}$$
Probability $$=\frac{number of desired outcomes}{number of total outcomes} = \frac{18}{12+18+18+24} = \frac{18}{72} =\frac{ 1}{4}$$

17- $$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$
$$cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$

18- cosθ=$$\frac{4}{5}$$
sinθ$$=\frac{3}{5}$$⇒ we have following triangle, then $$c=\sqrt{5^2-3^2 }=\sqrt{25-9}=\sqrt{16}=4)$$
cosθ$$=\frac{4}{5}$$

19- 5
$$|9 – (12 ÷ | 2 – 5 |)| = |(9-(12÷|-3|))|=|9-(12÷3)|=|9-4|=|5|=5$$

20- $$\frac{16}{x^3 }$$
$$\frac{x^3}{16 }$$ ⇒ reciprocal is :$$\frac{16}{x^3 }$$
