Problems1.
• Question: In an isosceles triangle ABC, AM & CM are angle bisectors of angles BAC and BCA respectively. What is the measure of angle AMC?
• (A)110’ (B)115’ (C)120’ (D)125’ (E)130’
![Page 4: SAT MATH PREPERATION. P roblems Related to SAT Geometry Algebra Precalculus Additional problems in the blog](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551a7e9f5503466b3a8b4679/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Solution:• Isosceles triangle means that any 2 sides are
equal• Here we consider AB and CB to be equal• Therefore angles BAC and BCA are equal and
the value is (180-40)/2 = 70’• We are given that AM and CM are angle
bisectors. Angles MAC and MCA = 35’• Finally angle AMC is 180-(2*35) = 110’

• Solution:• OS and OT are angle bisectors• Angles of sides of a square are 90’• Therefore the angle bisectors cut the square
at 45’ each.• The angle of arc ST is 180-(2*45)=90’

get the value of y• y = 2*2 + 3 = 7• Since x is less than 2 therefore y must be less
that 7.• y < 7

• (A)-5 (B)0 (C)5 (D)10 (E)20• Solution: • f(10) = 5*10 – 2a = 50 – 2a• f(5) = 5*5 – 2a = 25 – 2a• Substitute in the above results in the Given
function f(10) + f(5) = 55• 50 – 2a + 25 – 2a = 55• -4a = -20• a = 5

• (A)2x + 4 (B)x + 2 (C)2x + 2 (D)3x + 2 (E)x + 2• Solution:• The above problem is a function within function• fog(x) means f(g(x)). This means we substitute
the value of g(x) in place of the x term in the f(x) equation
• We get f(x + 2) = 2(x + 2) = 2x + 4

• (A)-2 (B)5 (C)-1 (D)1 (E) 2• Solution: • We find the value of h by substituting values
of y = 3 and x = 4 in the main equation• We get h = 4 * 3 = 12• Now we find y = h/x = 12/6 = 2
![Page 15: SAT MATH PREPERATION. P roblems Related to SAT Geometry Algebra Precalculus Additional problems in the blog](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551a7e9f5503466b3a8b4679/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. A rectangle is 4 times as long as it is wide. If the length is increased by 4 inches and the width is decreased by 1 inch, the area will be 60 square inches. What were the dimensions of the original rectangle?
• Solution:• Draw a rectangle with the required
dimensions
![Page 16: SAT MATH PREPERATION. P roblems Related to SAT Geometry Algebra Precalculus Additional problems in the blog](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551a7e9f5503466b3a8b4679/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Let x = original width of rectangle• Area of rectangle = Length * Width• Plug in the values from the question and from
the sketch 60 = (4x + 4)(x –1)• Solving we get 4x2 – 4 – 60 = 0
(2x – 8)(2x + 8) = 0 x= 4 or x = -4
• We consider only the positive value. So the width of the original rectangle is 4 and the length is 16

4. Find the domain and range for function f(x) = x2 + 2.
• Solution:• The function f(x) = x2 + 2 is defined for all real
values of x.• Therefore the domain is all real values of x• Since x2 is never negative, x2 + 2 is never less
than 2. Hence, the range of f(x) is "all real numbers f(x) ≥ 2".

5. Find the domain and range for the function
• Solution:• g(s) is not defined for real numbers greater
than 3 which would result in imaginary no.• Hence, the domain for g(s) is "all real
numbers, s ≤ 3".• Also >= 0. The range of g(s) is
"all real numbers g(s) ≥ 0"
