Metrobank-MTAP-DepEd Math Challenge 2013 Individual Finals Second Year Category A Answer Key

Part I 1. 3x + 2y + 6 = 0 2. 70 3. 7/198 Part II 1. For a 1, we must have 1 b 6. (1 pt) We check for every b. If b = 1, there are 10 as that satisfy the inequality. If b = 2, there are 9 as. If b = 3, there are 7 as. If b = 4, there are 5 as. If b = 5, there are 4 as. Finally, if b = 6, there are 2 as. All in all, there are 37 ordered pairs. (2 pts) for complete verication, and (1 pt) for at least three verications 2. Let U = {1, 2, 3, . . . , 999}, A be the subset of U consisting of all multiples of 6, and B the subset of U consisting of multiples of 7. Using Venn Diagram, we have |A B | = |A| + |B | |A B | = 166 + 142 23 = 285. (2 pts) Thus, there are 999 285 = 714 positive integers less than 1000 that are not divisible by 6 or 7. (1 pt) 3. Let m be the number of days Marvin can nish the work alone. Then Vincent can nish the work in m + 2 days. (1 pt) We solve for m in the equation 1 1 1 + = 12 (1 pt) m m+2 5 = m = 4. (1 pt) = 2w + 4 and 4. x/(x + 1) 5. 5 6. 50 7. 20 8. 10 kph 9. 22 10. 6 11. (5 y )/4 13. 120 km 14. 4

12. 4/(x2 + 5x + 6) 15. 4

4. Let , w, and d be the length, width, and diagonal of the rectangle, respectively. Then d = + 2 = 2w + 6. (1 pt) By Pythagorean Theorem, we get w2 + 2 = d2 , or w2 + (2w + 4)2 = (2w + 6)2 Thus, = w = 10. (1 pt)

= 240, and the area of the rectangle is 240 cm2 . (1 pt)

5. Let r be one of the roots of the given quadratic equation. Then the other root is 2r + 3. (1 pt) By the relationships between the roots and the coecients, we have r + (2r + 3) = p and r(2r + 3) = q . (1 pt) The rst equation gives 3r = p 3 or r = 1 3 (p 3). Substituting this to the second equation, we get q = 2r2 + 3r = 2 p 3 3

+ (p 3) =

2p2 + 3p 9 . (1 pt) 9

Part III 1. Let 1 and 2 be the lengths of the sides of the two squares. Then we solve the system of equations: 2 4 1 + 4 2 = 44 and 2 1 + 2 = 65. ((2 pts) for creating the system) This system gives 1 = 4 and 2 = 7 (or 1 = 7 and 2 = 4). ((3 pts) for completely solving the system) 2. Let and w be the length and width of the rectangle, respectively. Then we solve the system of equations: ( + 2)(w 1) = w and ( 2)(w + 4) = w. ((2 pts) for creating the system) This system gives = 10/3 cm and w = 8/3 cm, ((2 pts) for completely solving the system) which give 80/9 cm2 for the area. ((1 pt) for computing the area) 3. Let a and b be the bids of Company A and Company B , respectively. Then we have the following system of equations: a + b = 90000 and 0.9b 0.95a = (b a) 3000. ((2 pts) for creating the system) Solving the system yields a = 40, 000 and b = 50, 000 ((3 pts) for completely solving the system); that is, A bid Php 40, 000, while B bid Php 50, 000.
