General Instruction: Each question has its own weight depending on the difficulty
of each problem. Show complete solution or will be marked wrong. All fractions and
algebraic expression must be in simplest terms. Box your final answer.

2.) The point (a, 2) is the point of intersection of the lines with equations y = 2x 4
and y = x + k. Determine the value of k.
3.) An equilateral triangle of side length 1 is cut out of the middle of each side of a
square of side length 3, as shown. What is the perimeter of the resulting figure?

4.) What is the largest two-digit number that becomes 75% greater when its digits
are reversed?
5.) Determine all real values of x such that

6.) An auditorium has a rectangular array of chairs. There are exactly 14 boys
seated in each row and exactly 10 girls seated in each column. If exactly 3 chairs
are empty, prove that there are at least 567 chairs in the auditorium.

7.) In the diagram, AB = AC = AD = BD and CAE is a straight line

segment that is perpendicular to BD. What is the measure of CDB?

8.) A 3 3 square frame is placed on a grid of numbers, as shown. In the example,

the sum of the numbers inside the square frame is 108, and the middle number is
12. When the square frame is moved to a new position, the sum of its numbers
becomes 279. In the frames new position, what is the middle number?

9.) If 2x = 2(1612) + 2(816), what is the value of x?

10.) Equilateral triangle ABC has side length

vertices B and C on a circle of radius 3, as
shown. The triangle is then rotated
inside the circle: first about C until A
the circle, and then about A until B reaches
circle, and so on. Eventually the triangle
to its original position and stops. What is
total distance travelled by the point B?

11.) Find the area of the region bounded by the curve y =4x-x 2, the x-axis, and the
lines x=1 and x=3.

12.) What is the distance from point (2, 1) to the line 4x-3y+5=0?
13.) The distance between the centers of three circles, which are mutually tangent
with each other, are
10, 12, and 14 units. Find the area of the largest circle.
14.) Find the nth terms of the geometric sequence with a 5=5/4 and a12=160.
15.) Points A, B, C, and D are arranged, as
shown, with AB parallel to DC and P
point of intersection of AC and BD.
ACB = 90
, AC = CB, AB = BD = 2.
Determine the measure of DBC.

16.) Who discovered the Cartesian plane?

17.) Six tickets numbered 1 through 6 are placed in a box. Two tickets are randomly
selected
and removed together. What is the probability that the smaller of the two numbers
on
the tickets selected is less than or equal to 4?

18.) In the diagram, triangles

AOB and

CDB are right-angled and M is

the

midpoint of AC.
What are the coordinates of M?

19.) Claudine has p packages containing 19 candies each.

If Claudine divides all of her candies equally among 7 friends, there are 4 candies
left over.
If Claudine divides all of her candies equally among 11 friends, there is 1 candy left
over.

What is the minimum possible value of p?

20.) If the point (a, a) lies on the line 3x y = 10, what is the value of a?
