Problem 1

What is the value of $\frac{11!-10!}{9!}$?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 99\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 100\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 110\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 121\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 132$

Solution

Problem 2

For what value of $x$ does $10^x\cdot100^{2x}=1000^5$?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 3\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 4\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 5$

Solution

Problem 3

The remainder function can be defined for all real numbers $x$ and $y$ with $y\neq 0$ by

$rem(x,y)=x-y\bigg\lfloor \dfrac{x}{y} \bigg\rfloor$,

where $\Big\lfloor \tfrac{x}{y} \Big\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $\tfrac{x}{y}$. What is the value of $rem(\tfrac{3}{8} , -\tfrac{2}{5})$ ?

$\textbf{(A)}\ -\dfrac{3}{8}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ -\dfrac{1}{40}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 0\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \dfrac{3}{8}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \dfrac{31}{40}$

Solution

Problem 4

The mean, median, and mode of the 7 data values $60, 100, x, 40, 50, 200, 90$ are all equal to $x$. What is the value of $x$?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 50\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 60\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 75\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 90\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 100$
