  1. A computer stores two video files. One file is 9.1×1089.1\times10^8 bytes and the other is 3.4×1073.4\times10^7 bytes. How many more bytes is the larger file than the smaller file? Write your answer in scientific notation.
  2. A line passes through the three points (0,1)(0,1), (2,5)(2,5), and (4,9)(4,9). Which choice correctly shows that the slope is constant and gives the equation of the line?
  3. Looking at the diagram shown, rhombus WXYZWXYZ undergoes a dilation with center OO at the origin to produce rhombus W′X′Y′Z′W'X'Y'Z'. If the distance from the origin to vertex WW is 10 units and the distance from the origin to vertex W′W' is 4 units, compare the rhombuses.
  4. Refer to the coordinate plane. Triangle PQRPQR and triangle STUSTU are similar, where both triangles have one vertex on the origin and demonstrate that the slope is constant along line ℓ\ell. If the slope of line ℓ\ell is 34\frac{3}{4}, what is the equation of line ℓ\ell?
  5. Carlos wants to borrow $8,000 for a motorcycle. He can choose between 5% annual simple interest for 4 years or 7% annual simple interest for 2 years. If he wants to minimize his total payment, which loan should he choose and how much will he save?
  6. Sarah claims that 4(2x−3)+8x=16x−124(2x - 3) + 8x = 16x - 12 is always true. To justify her claim, she needs to show that the left side is equivalent to the right side. Which sequence of properties would correctly justify this equivalence?
  7. A square has a diagonal of length 828\sqrt{2} units. What is the area of this square?
  8. Function A is given by f(x)=x+9f(x)=x+9. Function B is described as: "It starts at 3 when x=0x=0 and increases by 4 for every 1 increase in xx." Which function will have the greater output for large values of xx (for example, x=100x=100)?
  9. Two students are comparing a graph and an algebraic solution for the system: {y=−2x+9y=x\begin{cases} y=-2x+9 \\ y=x \end{cases} They claim the lines intersect at (3,3)(3,3). Which check correctly verifies that (3,3)(3,3) is the intersection (solution) of the system?
  10. Which is greater?
  11. In the figure shown, line segments AB and CD are parallel, and line EF is a transversal that intersects them. If the measure of angle 1 is (2x+15)°(2x + 15)° and the measure of angle 5 is (3x−25)°(3x - 25)°, where angles 1 and 5 are alternate interior angles, what is the measure of the supplement of angle 1?
  12. A bakery's flour usage follows the equation f=3.5hf = 3.5h, where ff is pounds of flour and hh is hours worked. A second bakery's usage is shown in the graph. During a 6-hour shift, how much more flour does the bakery with higher usage consume?
  13. The equation y=−2x+50y = -2x + 50 represents the amount of water yy (in gallons) remaining in a tank after xx minutes of draining, where the tank starts with 50 gallons. What is the most restrictive domain for this real-world situation?
  14. Which statement is true about 20\sqrt{20}?
  15. A researcher studying teen social media usage recruits participants through Instagram ads asking teens to volunteer for the study. What type of sampling issue does this create, and how might it affect conclusions?
  16. Polygon AA is obtained from polygon BB by a dilation with scale factor 11. Which statement is true?
  17. A student says the points (2,5)(2,5), (4,9)(4,9), and (6,13)(6,13) lie on one straight line. Which calculation correctly checks that the slope is the same between the first two points and the last two points?
  18. Examine the coordinate plane. Point PP can be any location in the shaded region. Which statement about the coordinates of point PP is always true?
  19. Rectangle RR has side lengths 22 cm by 44 cm. Rectangle SS has side lengths 33 cm by 55 cm. Are rectangles RR and SS similar?
  20. On a coordinate plane, the relation consists of the points (−2,1)(-2,1), (−1,1)(-1,1), (0,1)(0,1), (1,1)(1,1), and (2,1)(2,1). Does this graph represent a function (use the vertical line test)?
