1- C
The amplitude in the graph of the equation $$y$$=a cosb $$x$$ is a. (a and b are constant)
In the equation $$y$$=cos $$x$$, the amplitude is 2 and the period of the graph is $$2π$$.
The only option that has two times the amplitude of graph $$y$$ = cos $$x$$ is $$y$$=2+2 cos $$x$$
They both have the amplitude of 2 and period of $$2π$$.

2- B
$$\frac{2}{3}≅0.67,\frac{8}{11}≅0.73,\frac{5}{7}≅0.71,\frac{3}{4}=0.75$$

3- B
ratio of A: $$\frac{570}{600}=0.95$$
ratio of B: $$\frac{291}{300}=0.97$$
ratio of C: $$\frac{665}{0.95}=0.95$$
ratio of D: $$\frac{528}{550} =0.96$$

4- E
First find percentage of men in city A and percentage of women in city C.
Percentage of men in city A =$$\frac{600}{1170}$$ and percentage of women in city C =$$\frac{665}{1365}$$
Find the ratio and simplify.
$$\frac{\frac{600}{1170}}{\frac{665}{1365}}=\frac{20}{19}$$

5- C
$$\frac{528+x}{550}==1.2→528+x=660→x=132$$

6- A
Let $$x$$ be the number of years. Therefore, $2,000 per year equals $$2000x$$. starting from$24,000 annual salary means you should add that amount to $$2000x$$.
Income more than that is:
$$I > 2000 x + 24000$$

7- B
We write the numbers in the order: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5
The mode of numbers is: 1 and 3, median is: 3

8- E
$$0.6x=(0.3)×20→x=10→(x+5)^2=(15)^2=225$$

9- E
The slop of line A is: m= $$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{3-2}{4-3}=1$$
Parallel lines have the same slope and only choice E $$(y=x)$$ has slope of 1.

10- C
When points are reflected over $$y$$-axis, the value of $$y$$ in the coordinates doesn’t change and the sign of $$x$$ changes. Therefore, the coordinates of point B is $$(-10,3)$$.
