MATH 10-4

Long Quiz 2 Set A


2nd QUARTER SY 2013 – 2014

I. True or False. (2 points each)


1. For any pair of 3 by 3 matrices A and B, (A + B) T = AT + BT.
2. For any matrix A, the product AAT is always symmetric.
3. For any square matrix A, det(3A) = 3det(A).
4. A system of two linear equations in three variables is always consistent.
5. If a system of linear equations is dependent, then it has no solution.
6. A first degree equation in three variables is a straight line.
7. A system of two quadratic equations in two variables can have at most four solutions.
8. The inequality x ≥ 4 consists of all points whose ordinates are at least 4.
9. The optimal solution of a linear programming problem depends solely on the objective function.
p( x)
10. If p(x ) is a polynomial of degree less than 6, then the fraction decomposes into at most six fractions with
x6 −1
distinct denominators.
II. Application. Apply pertinent concepts and definitions to find what is asked in the following problems.
1. Solve for a, b, c and d in the matrix equation: [ 13 24][ ac bd]=[196 32] .

2 x+3 y + z=−1
2. Use Cramer’s Rule to find the solution to the system
{3 x+ 3 y+ z =1 .
2 x +4 y + z=−2
3 x 2−2 y 2=1
3. Solve the system: { y=4 x−3
4 x−3 y <14
4. Sketch the graph of the solution set of the system:

2x
{2 x +5 y ≤−6
x >0
y≤0

5. Decompose the fraction:


( x−1 )2 ( x2 +1)
6. Find the center and radius of the circle whose graph passes through the points (-2,10), (-12,-14), and (5,3).

7. Among the many products it produces, an oil refinery makes two specialized petroleum distillates: Pymex A and
Pymex B. Each distillate passes through three stages: S1, S2 , and S3 . Each liter of Pymex A requires 1 hour in S1, 3
hours in S2 , and 3 hours in S3. Each liter of Pymex B requires 1 hour in , 4 hours in , and 2 hours in . There are 10
hours available for S1, 36 hours available for S2 , and 27 hours available for S3 . The profit per liter of Pymex A is
$12, and the profit per liter of Pymex B is $9. How many liters of each distillate should be produced to maximize
profit? What is the maximum profit?

III. Evaluation. Read and examine each situation and give the comment as required.

1. In a test item, a student was asked to solve the system {42x−2


x− y=1
y =2
.
In his paper, the student wrote (without showing detailed solution): By using Cramer’s Rule, x = 2 and y = 3 is a
solution to the system. Upon seeing this, the teacher knew immediately that the student is lying. On what basis
can the teacher say that the student lied in what he wrote? (5 points)
x +3 A B
2. To decompose the fraction 2 , a student solved for A and B in the partial fractions + .
x −1 x+1 x −1
Examine the process done and explain the flaw in the procedure made. (5 points)
x +3 A B
= +
x −1 x +1 x−1
2

Multiply both sides by x2 – 1 : x +3= A ( x−1 ) + B(x +1)


Let x = 1: 4 = A(0) + B(2) ====> B = 2
Let x = -1: 2 = A(-2) + B(0) ====> A = -1
x +3 −1 2
Therefore, = +
x −1 x +1 x−1
2
