1. S is a set of integers such that i) if a is in S, then -a is in S, and ii) if each of a and b is in S, then ab is in S. Is -4 in S?
(1) 1 is in S. (2) 2 is in S.
2. What was Bill's average (arithmetic mean) grade for all of his courses? (1) His grade in social studies was 75, and his grade in science was 75. (2) His grade in mathematics was 95. (我觉得应该是C)
3. If x^2-y=w (x的平方), what is the value of x? (1) w+y=4 (2) y=1 (我也觉得应该是C)
4. One kilogram of a certain coffee blend consists of x kilogram of type I coffee and y kilogram of type II coffee. The cost of the blend is C dollors per kilogram, where C=6.5x+8.5y. Is x<0.8? (1) y>0.15 (2) C>=7.30
5. If x and y are positive integers and x is a multiple of y, is y=2? (1) y=/1 (2) x+2 is a multiple of y
6. If @ denotes a mathematical operation, does x@y=y@x for all x and y? (1) For all x and y, x@y=2(x^2+y^2) (2) For all y, 0@y=2y^2
5. If x and y are positive integers and x is a multiple of y, is y=2? (1) y=/1 (2) x+2 is a multiple of y
solution:from the prerequisite we can deduce that x=ay, and a is a positive integer. (1)&(2)=>x+2=by, b is a positive integer=>2=(a-b)y=>2*1=(a-b)y because y is not 1,so y must be 2. the choice is C
