( √2 - √3 )2 = A. 5 - 2√6 B. 5 - √6 C. 1 - 2√6 D. 1 - √2 E. 1 3. 230 + 230 + 230 + 230 = A. 8120 B. 830 C. 232 D. 230 E. 226 ? 4. Amy has to visit towns B and C in any order. The roads connecting these towns with her home are shown on the diagram. How many different routes can she take starting from A and returning to A, going through both B and C (but not more than once through each) and not travelling any road twice on the same trip? A. 10 B. 8 C. 6 D. 4 E. 2 5. In the figure above AD = 4, AB = 3 and CD = 9. What is the area of triangle AEC ? A. 18 B. 13.5 C. 9 D. 4.5 E. 3 ? 答案： 1.Correct Answer: B Explanation: If x = -5, then (x2 – 50) = 25 – 50 = -25But the sign │x│ means the absolute value of x (the distance between the number and zero on the number line). Absolute values are always positive.│-25 │ = 25 2.Correct Answer: A Explanation: Expand as for (a + b)2.(√2 - √3)(√2 - √3) = 2 - 2(√2 + √3) + 3 = 5 - 2 √6 3.Correct Answer: C Explanation: All four terms are identical therefore we have 4 (230).But 4 = 22, and so we can write 22. 230Which is equivalent to 232 4. Correct Answer: B Explanation: Amy can travel clockwise or anticlockwise on the diagram.Clockwise, she has no choice of route from A to B, a choice of one out of two routes from B to C, and a choice of one out of two routes from C back to A. This gives four possible routes.Similarly, anticlockwise she has four different routes.Total routes = 8 5.Correct Answer: D Explanation: If we take AE as the base of triangle AEC, then the height is CD.The height of the triangle is therefore, 9 (given).To find the base we need to see that triangles AEB and CDE are similar. The ratio AB: CD, is therefore equal to the ratio AE: ED. The given information shows that the ratio is 3:9, or 1:3. Now dividing AD (4) in this ratio gives us AE as 1.The area of A
