Therefore it is decaying exponentially. - iv - Foundations of Mathematics, Prototype Exam Answer Key

35 11. B. Amplitude is the distance from the midline to a maximum or minimum. So graph B has the lowest amplitude or lowest volume. 12. D. The a value in fx ( ) alogx determines whether a function is increasing (when a 0 ) or decreasing (when a 0 ). Since the decrease is pronounced, the a value in g( x) must be negative and larger than that in fx ( ). Option D is the best match. g( x) 10log x 13. A. Exponential equations that have positive bases and positive a values, when graphed, look like: In either case, the graph extends from quadrant II to quadrant I, when reading the graph from left to right. - v - Foundations of Mathematics, Prototype Exam Answer Key

36 14. D. max min 4 ( 2) 6 The amplitude is found by The equation of the midline can be found a number of ways: 1) Max amplitude: 4 31 so y 1 2) Min + amplitude: 231 so y 1 max min 4 ( 2) 2 3) 1 so y The period represents how many degrees it takes to complete one cycle. In the graph, 2 cycles are completed in the 360, therefore the period is C. Logarithmic functions of this form have no y-intercept and they have a vertical asymptote of 0 x x 0, x. All x. Thus, they have a restricted domain of log functions of this form have an x-intercept of A. Having the graph extend from quadrant II into quadrant I denotes an even degree because the graph behaves the same on both sides of the y-axis (both extending upward). Since the graph intercepts the y-axis at 17, the equation has a positive constant term. 17. C.

Because the original function x 10 y was not written in terms of y, Travis did so correctly in Step 1. Travis made his first error in Step 2. Although the graph is an increasing function the graph will not start in quadrant III but in quadrant II. His second error is based on this one, causing Travis to deduce there is a negative y-intercept. The y-intercept can be found by substituting x 0 into y log 0 and solving for y, which is impossible as there is nothing that 10 can 10 be raised to, to give a result of 0. y log 0? y C. A grade 12 student is part of the Universal set. This student is part of football, which is regions 3, 4, 6, 7 and drama, so only regions 3 and 4. However the student is not part of student council so not part of region 3. This means the student is in region D. Contrapositive statements are formed by changing the if p, then q statement to if not q, then not p. Therefore the statement should be: If it is not Canada Day, then it is not July 1st. - vii - Foundations of Mathematics, Prototype Exam Answer Key

C. By definition, odds in favour of an event occurring is the number of desired outcomes, to the number of non-desired outcomes. Probability is the ratio of the number of desired outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes (desired and non-desired). 31. C There are 10 digits to choose from and each digit could be repeated, therefore 6 there are (10) possible passwords available months years C. During the 4 years Maxine would expect to do 400 (100 loads per year 4 years) loads of laundry. If there will be a problem 0.5% of the time she should expect breakdowns.
