Solution: This can be done in many ways. But I prefer to use substitution.
Let
, then
is the remainder.
The answer is 1.
2. Find the exact radian measure of
Solution: we need to know that
, hence
Going back to our problem, the base is fine since it is 4. We just have to focus on x-4.
Since it must be positive real number, we have
, the vertex is at (-3,8). dont get confused with the negative sign. It is
Solution: This problem can be solved quickly if we know that the product of the slope of
perpendicular lines is equal to -1. So the value of a is the negative reciprocal of a to
attain such condition. Thus, a=-1/3.
9. The parabola
Solution: If (1,b) is on the graph of the equation, it must satisfy the equation. Thus, by
simple substitution, we can solve for the value of b.
10. Suppose u varies directly as the square root of v. If u=3 when v=4, find u when v=10.
Solution: If we know already that this is a direct variation, we can just use ratio and
proportion as follows.

1. When I opened my Math book, the sum of the page number facing me was 17. What
was the page number on the left side?
Solution:
Think of two consecutive numbers whose sum is 17. That is 8 and 9. 9 on the right and
8 on the left. Thus, 8 is the answer.
