The correct answer is 30. Let x represent the number of correct answers from the player and y represent the number of incorrect answers from the player. Since the player answered 40 questions in total, the equation x + y = 40 represents this situation. Also, since the score is found by subtracting the number of incorrect answers from twice the number of correct answers and the player received a score of 50, the equation 2x – y = 50 represents this situation. Adding the system of two equations together yields (x + y) + (2x – y) = 40 + 50. This can be rewritten as 3x = 90. Finally, solving for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3 yields x = 30.

The correct answer is ²⁄₅. The slope of the line can be found by selecting any two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) on the line and then dividing the difference of the y-coordinates (y₂ – y₁) by the difference of the x-coordinates (x₂ – x₁). Using the points (−6, −\(\frac{27}{5}\)​) and (9, ³⁄₅​), the slope is \(\frac{\frac{3}{5}-(-\frac{27}{5})}{9 – (–6)}=\frac{\frac{30}{5}}{15}\). This can be rewritten as \(\frac{6}{15}\)​, which reduces to ²⁄₅. Any of the following equivalent expressions can be gridded as the correct answer: 2/5, .4, .40, .400, 4/10, 8/20.

The correct answer is 195. Since the mass of gold was worth $62,400 and each ounce of gold was worth $20, the mass of the gold was \(\frac{62,400}{20}\) = 3120 ounces. Since 1 pound = 16 ounces, 3120 ounces is equivalent to \(\frac{3120}{16}\)= 195 pounds.

The percent increase from 2012 to 2013 was \(\frac{5,880 – 5,600}{5,600}\) = 0.05, or 5%. Since the percent increase from 2012 to 2013 was estimated to be double the percent increase from 2013 to 2014, the percent increase from 2013 to 2014 was expected to be 2.5%.Therefore, the number of subscriptions sold in 2014 is expected to be the number of subscriptions sold in 2013 multiplied by (1 + 0.025), or 5,880(1.025) = 6,027.

Choices A and C are incorrect and may be the result of a conceptual or calculation error. Choice D is incorrect and is the result of interpreting the percent increase from 2013 to 2014 as double the percent increase from 2012 to 2013.

The circle with equation (x + 3)² + (y – 1)² = 25 has center (–3, 1) and radius 5. For a point to be inside of the circle, the distance from that point to the center must be less than the radius, 5.The distance between (3, 2) and (–3, 1) is \(\sqrt{(−3 − 3)^{2} + (1 − 2)^{2}}=\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{37}\), which is greater than 5. Therefore, (3, 2) does NOT lie in the interior of the circle.

Choice A is incorrect. The distance between (–7, 3) and (–3, 1) is \(\sqrt{(−7 + 3)^{2}+ (3 − 1)^{2}}=\sqrt{(−4)^{2} + (2)^{2}}=\sqrt{20}\),which is less than 5,and therefore (–7, 3) lies in the interior of the circle. Choice B is incorrect because it is the center of the circle. Choice C is incorrect because the distance between (0, 0) and (–3, 1) is \(\sqrt{(0 + 3)^{2}+ (0 − 1)^{2}}=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(1)^{2}}=\sqrt{8}\), which is less than 5, and therefore (0, 0) lies in the interior of the circle.

The line shown has a slope of \(\frac{6 − 0}{3 − 0}=2\) and a y-intercept of (0, 0); therefore, the equation of the line is y = 2x. This means that for each point on the line, the value of the y-coordinate is twice the value of the x-coordinate. Therefore, for the point (s, t), the ratio of t to s is 2 to 1.

Choice A is incorrect and would be the ratio of t to s if the slope of the line were ¹⁄₃. Choice B is incorrect and would be the ratio of t to s if the slope of the line were ¹⁄₂​. Choice D is incorrect and would be the ratio of t to s if the slope of the line were 3.

Because the world’s population has grown at an average rate of 1.9% per year since 1945, it follows that the world’s population has been growing by a constant factor of 1.019 since 1945.If the world’s population in 1975 was about 4 billion, in 1976 the world’s population would have been about 4(1.019); in 1977 the world’s population would have been about 4(1.019)(1.019), or 4(1.019)²; and so forth. Therefore, the world’s population, P(t), t years since 1975 could be represented by the function P(t) = 4(1.019)^t.

Choice B is incorrect because it represents a 90% increase in population each year. Choices C and D are incorrect because they are linear models, which represent situations that have a constant growth.

It is given that there are 4.0 food calories per gram of protein, 9.0 food calories per gram of fat, and 4.0 food calories per gram of carbohydrate. If 180 food calories in a granola bar came from p grams of protein, f grams of fat, and c grams of carbohydrate, then the situation can be represented by the equation 180 = 4p + 9f + 4c. The equation can then be rewritten in terms of f by subtracting 4p and 4c from both sides of the equation and then dividing both sides of the equation by 9. The result is the equation f = 20 − ⁴⁄₉(p + c).

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect and may be the result of not representing the situation with the correct equation or incorrectly rewriting the equation in terms of f.

The relationship between x food calories and k kilojoules can be modeled as a proportional relationship. Let (x₁, k₁) and (x₂, k₂) represent the values in the first two rows in the table:(4.0, 16.7) and (9.0, 37.7). The rate of change, or \(\frac{(k_{2}-K_{1})}{(x_{2}-x_{1})}\)​, is \(\frac{21}{5}\) ​= 4.2;

therefore, the equation that best represents the relationship between x and k is k = 4.2x.

Choice A is incorrect and may be the result of calculating the rate of change using \(\frac{(x_{2}-x_{1})}{(k_{2}-K_{1})}\). Choice C is incorrect and may be the result of confusing the independent and dependent variables. Choice D is incorrect and may be the result of an error when setting up the equation.

The variable t represents the seconds after the object is launched. Since h(0) = 72, this, means that the height, in feet, at 0 seconds, or the initial height, is 72 feet.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect and may be the result of misinterpreting the function in context.
