If 3^6x = 8100, what is the value of (3^x-1)^3? (注:3^6x 是 3的6x次方;(3^x-1)^3 是 3的x-1次方然后再3次方)
A. 90 B. 30 C. 10 D. 10/3 E. 10/9
[3^(x-1)]^3 = 3^(3x-3) = 3^(3x) / (27) = [3^(6x)]^(1/2)/(27)=[8100^(1/2)]/27=90/27=10/3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Six Cards numbered from 1 to 6 are placed in an empty bowl. First one card is drawn and then put back into the bowl; then a second card is drawn. If the cards are drawn at random and if the sum of the numbers on the cards is 8, what is the probability that one of the two cards drawn is numbered 5?
A. 1/6 B. 1/5 C.1/3 D. 2/5 E. 2/3
4, 4 is also a possibility -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the ratio of the average (arithmetic mean) height of students in class X to the average height of students in class Y?
(1) The average height of the students in class X is 120 centimeters. (2) The average height of the students in class X and class Y combined is 126 centimeters.
for expression, let m = average height in class X, let x= number of students in class X let n = average height in class Y, let y = number of students in class Y we want to know : m/n (1) m = 120 (insufficient) (2) (mx + ny)/(x+y)=126 (insufficient) combine (1)+(2) = (120x+ny)/(x+y)=126 (not sufficient) the answer is (E)

A total of $60,000 was invested for one year. Part of this amount earned simple annual interest at the rate of x percent per year, and the rest earned simple annual interest at the rate of y percent per year. If the total interest earned by the $60,000 fot that year was $4,080, what is the value of x?
(1) x = 3y/4 (2) The ration of the amount that earned interest at the rate of x percent per year to the amount that earned interest at the rate of y percent per year was 3 to 2.
Suppose amount P earned interest at rate of x%, (60000 - P) earned interest at rate of y%
P*x/100 + (60000-P)*y/100 = 4080 => P*x + (60000-P)*y = 408000 (1) x = 3y/4 P * 3y/4 + (60000-P)*y = 408000 we have 2 unknowns (P and y) but only one equation, there is no way to solve it => insufficient (2) P/(60000-P) = 3/2 P = 36000, 60000-P = 24000 36000*x + 24000*y = 408000 (insufficient) combine (1) and (2), 36000*x + 24000*y = 36000*3y/4 + 24000*y = 408000, we can solve for y from this equation, then we can solve for x from x = 3y/4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a and b are positive integers such that a - b and a/b are both even integers, which of the following must be an odd integer?
A. a/2 B. b/2 C. (a+b)/2 D. (a+2)/2 E. (b+2)/2
这题我很不解。a-b是偶数,说明a和b都是偶数。(it is not ture, counterexample: 5-3=2)
同样,a/b是偶数,说明a和b都是偶数。 (also not true, counterexample: 6/3=2)
